I am a huge fan of Sci-Fi/Fantasy. I have pretty severe arachnophobia. These two characteristics are in constant conflict. #Andor

Hi friends. Last night my low fuel light came on as I was leaving the hair salon. I stopped and got gas minutes later instead of lying to myself that I’ll just leave early for work the next morning and stop then. Is this what being an adult feels like? (I’m 44.)

There is a assumption being made by those on the political right that less aid for Ukraine means more aid for US communities. I truly don’t understand where that assumption is coming from.

I feel like @thebulwark.bsky.social did David Frum wrong with this one. (Also, go read his piece in The Atlantic if you haven’t already.)

It’s kind of stunning that Donald Trump is continuing to let Elon Musk terrorize government employees, many of whom are veterans and many of whom voted for him. How is putting tens of thousands of Americans out of work putting America first? How does it bring down grocery prices?

It’s Saturday. Why are they sending this on a Saturday.

DOGE does not need access to IRS data and personal information of Americans. We should all be very very worried if they’re granted that access.

"Still there is a substantial minority party. They’re called the Democratic party. Remember them? Is it too much to ask that they at least sound the alarm? Loudly and clearly and repeatedly? They could start today. With the IRS." www.thebulwark.com/p/breaking-t...

This is giving 2012 BCS National Championship game. iykyk. (I’m an LSU fan so… ik.)

This is a beat down.

🤔

Grimace but pronounced like Versace.

This Super Bowl is already so fabulously New Orleans.

Damn this sounds like an Eagles home game!

Elon Musk and Donald Trump are now ordering the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to stop protecting consumers from unfair fees, fraud, and scams. They have cut off funding to the agency.

It’s not a party that is letting us down: it’s elected officials….period.

cannot be said enough that for a decade a critical number of americans have simply refused to accept that he means what he says

hey question, is this bad?

I know this is rather nihilistic of me, but I genuinely can’t wait to learn what the line is. That he crosses. That makes them so whoa whoa whoa you can’t do that buddy.

If you wanted to decrease the cost of homes, one thing you wouldn’t do is put a flat tariff on your main source of timber.

among the many crazy things about this statement is that “the diversity of america’s fighting force is how it has triumphed over its enemies” has been a part of american military propaganda since at least the civil war

Today in Google AI fails.

I love this time of year because people will post something super dramatic and vague like “Nooooooo” and I can’t tell if it’s about football or *gestures outside window* all of this.

I will always support Marshon Lattimore. ⚜️

Brown rips off Lattimore’s helmet and Lattimore gets flagged.

Saquon is unstoppable.

I remember when advocating for mercy and compassion was considered Christian. Now it's considered radical ideology.

For the last decade, I’ve excused the actions of many on the Right because a) I contain a bottomless well of empathy and b) I truly believed they just didn’t understand they were being lied to. But now, I can’t empathize away the events of the last week.

one reason democrats should cut the “we just want to work together” shit is that you lose the opportunity to do things like, for instance, hold a loud press conference on the fact that trumps ICE thugs arrested a veteran www.newarknj.gov/news/mayor-r...

The price of eggs in the US is spiking, mostly due to #H5N1 bird flu. Solving the problem requires urgent, important communications from the CDC & FDA* and rapid development of research by the NIH** * Currently paused by Executive Order ** Grant reviews now all canceled www.kcur.org/news/2025-01...

Rosacea girlies in the Deep South, how are we doing this week? Do we have our humidifiers on high? Do we have our moisture sprays handy? Do our faces feel like they could melt away all of the snow?

Hello from snowed in Mobile, Alabama!

Update: it is still snowing. In Mobile, AL. 20 minutes from the Gulf.

Tis the season?

I can’t believe it’s going to do this all day!

Happy Gulf Coast Snow Day to all who celebrate!!

Absolutely nothing better than NFL playoff football in the snow !

The Palisades Fire burning outside of Los Angeles has now burned nearly 16,000 acres, according to the latest estimate by CalFire. That’s an increase of 4,000 acres – or 34% -- in the past two hours. There is 0% containment. More: www.npr.org/2025/01/08/n...

It’s not a foreign war if we start it, I guess. I am already so tired.

Kamala Harris certifying her own defeat with dignity to a guy who tried to overthrow the government last time to prevent his is a fitting epitaph for our democracy.

I think it would be hard to explain today to January 6, 2021 me.
