once again asking for a buffet restaurant that only serves hand pie type foods from all over the world. big platters of empanadas and samosas and momos and pasties and sambusas and hot pockets and so on

i'm imagining democrats pulling this maudlin freak "i didn't vote for this" shit about something obama or biden did and having the tea party hem and haw about whether to use this as an opportunity for reconciliation and outreach. they would simply shoot you in the face with a gun shaped like a truck

for scale, this is not even one third of just the NIH grants that trump cut, just from from february to april. it’s an immense attack on all human progress

Hell yeah, all the Kaiju heads who love middling government bureaucracy are going wild in the chat

i personally condemn everyone on bluesky who voted for trump. yeah, that's right, all four of you should be really ashamed

you will work in the pod. you will accept the 3/2 hybrid. you will commute to the office. you will eat the sad fast casual salad. you will add the avocado for $2.79

should be an onboarding class for editors where it’s pounded into their heads that “contrarianism isn’t a synonym for intelligence” all these guys are just your insane neighbor yelling about obama’s birth certificate, but with a ba from an “elite” school that can’t even make the cfb playoff

ME: yeah could i get the impossible burger with cheese. THE VIZIER WHO'S BEEN ADVISING ME: ahh, an excellent choice sire. an imitation of the genuine article. there are some "friends" of yours to whom it bears a passing similarity ME: you want anything VIZIER: [chuckles] what i want is of no import

every day I wake up and can't believe anyone is pretending conservatives are earnestly concerned about fairness in girls' public high school sports

“I am sick to my stomach as I write this because I've spent 20 years developing a pedagogy that's about wrestling with big ideas through writing and discussion, and that whole project has been evaporated by for-profit corporations who built their systems on stolen work. It's demoralizing.” Yep.

solid philosophy

when Stephen isn't there Lauren and Jane just talk about shows like this
