FLAG LOWERED INTO POSITION

Well, I guess they just declared war on us, but it was either that or having a Black character in Star Wars

I work as an elder and hospice caregiver, which I am oddly passionate about. I can love on them shamelessly and no one complains about my codependence. It's a win-win situation. Many of my caregiving colleagues complain about the repetitive questions and, sometimes reactions, of the elderly, especially when those patients happen to read the newspaper, especially with the current downward spiral of our country — as if these people haven't lived through enough horror... I love my dementia peeps, but sometimes wonder if there's a Guinness Book World Record for how many times an hour a dementia patient can repeat the same question — it's got to be in the hundreds. At least with small children, they ask different questions. Dementia patients will get stuck on one short question and ask it until you can interrupt their train(carousel) of thought and successfully redirect their attention. That carousel is pretty manic sometimes. A couple days ago, I picked up my mail from the post office and drove over to the nursing home to take (let's call her "Miss Daisy") Miss Daisy out for a drive. Before we took off on our road trip, to the end of The Road and back, in our landlocked little town (Juneau, Alaska), I set my copy of The Onion down in front of her. Over our two-hour excursion, tiny Miss Daisy read that front page at least a dozen times and each time she would snicker, giggle, and guffaw, then put it down on the dash board and, a minute later, discover it anew. I think it was the best afternoon of my life. We don't often hear them laugh and when they do, it's the sweetest thing you've ever heard. ... Thank you, thank you, thank you, for the really important work all of you do. You make the world a better place.

I got permission to share this, and I'm extremely grateful for that.

The Onion got this letter from one of our subscribers in Alaska. She works with dementia patients and decided to leave a copy in the car for each one.

This email made my year. Read it and you'll see what I mean. People are good.

What she meant to say is she's a "safe" Senator for another 5 and a half years so Dems are asking her to take a hit as a trial to see how wildly racist they can get with Mamdani and just in general, because if this works they're going to keep doing it to anyone else to tries to go after their nut

It’s every parent’s nightmare, isn’t it? you check your child’s bulletproof backpack and find a picture book about gay penguins

And then this shit just came out.

When you’re making over $700k a year, gaining $12k is nothing. It’s a nice vacation, redoing the garage, giving a niece/nephew a car.

When you’re making $23k a year, losing $1600 is “are we paying for food or for the house or for medical bills” territory.

This is a Hall of Fame reader comment on a very reactionary op-ed about Zohran Mamdani's victory that was published in my local paper today.

MAKE RANKED CHOICE THE NATIONAL STANDARD. MAKE OUR VOTES COUNT.

know this: there are people I respect & do not follow. there are people I follow & do not respect. it`s up to fate—i make no apologies of it

legitimately appalled that that celtics didn't draft a guy named liam mcneely

that’s nothing, a couple months ago he went 144 when he was supposed to go 25

Headcanon: Andor is the only Star Wars property set in the actual Star Wars universe.

All the other Star Wars movies and TV shows are movies and TV shows in that universe as well. They're what the people in Andor turn on when they want to unwind with some escapist space opera.

Earlier this evening, the Univision crew grabbed their gear and started running when federal police began shooting pepper balls at us. @lataco.bsky.social

ICE is a criminal organization willfully carrying out illegal orders and the people of California are right to resist this. respect to the fighters and power to the people

dot com is short for Dorothy Computer

I’m tired of things happening. And stuff going on.

it really doesn’t matter if someone is in america illegally or not. who cares, grow up

Yeah I guess LeBron putting up a 22.6 PER is pretty special, but it's not that impressive when you compare him to people rolling out of bed and firing off something like this at age 86.

Do NOT believe PissDrinker69's claim that he needs you to clean the tear gas out of his eyes by pissing on them, that is not true that is just his kink. He does this at every protest.

I just write them I don't explain them.

What happened in Paramount and Downtown LA was not a riot.

THIS is what an LA riot looks like.

They lost with Garcia.

They lost Musk—their biggest funder.

They're losing every trade negotiation.

They're losing public support.

They continue to lose and get weaker by the day.

So, rest assured, as Trump gets weaker and weaker, he'll get more and more violent.

Yarvin is sort of the "intellectual" equivalent of how the shock troops of fascism went from deranged WW1 vets to police academy washouts who can't jack off. His forebears are nymphomaniac alchemists like D'Annunzio whereas a zoomer could cyberbully him to death.

Kanye’s reaction is the funniest but this is the second funniest
