The CDC has announced that getting sick is the result of divine judgment and it is sheer human arrogance to think we can avoid it

This is terrifying.

You little bustard! Your mother was a fluffy-backed tit-babbler your father smelt of dickcissel.

I love how kestrels always take photos like "Bird of prey? No! I'm just a thoughtful widdle guy!"

Oh I'll be JUST fine. And then Kiera and I will ride off into the sunset together.

@mckinneykelsey.bsky.social listened to your episode with Lindy West last week and today my mom happened to send me this fun bit of newspaper gossip about my great-great-great-grandparents. Only wish there was more detail about the funny business!

Learning to delete internet search history on the family computer before learning how to use a tampon turned millennials into unpaid IT consultants for everyone in our lives.

This is the most "perpetually online person" niche dark humor but 🙂

I don’t think it will all fit in there.

GOP: "Who hasn't raped a teenager at a sex party or committed equivalent crimes? If you tattle on us, we'll tattle on you." Sure. Okay. Go ahead. I mean, YOU are the party of family values and law & order after all.

“Moo Deng who?” guys come on let’s not pit two strong women against each other, they are both feminist role models biting knees is not a zero-sum game, there are enough knees for everyone to bite

As opposed to yelling at people online who don’t want to vote for Harris because of her position on Israel- why not call the Harris campaign and ask them why they care about Israel more than winning

there’s one candidate who had two hitler-related stories drop today and the other is kamala harris.

it’s actually SO important to me that Musk knows about this, I need it like air I definitely want him like destroyed and broke and out of power but I reeeeeeally want him to be humiliated a bunch along the way. I do not think these demands are unreasonable @ God

Meanwhile in Utah, our transportation budget is spent on widening the freeway AGAIN while signs over said freeway say "Low Air Quality Today- Consider carpooling or staying home" yet our transit is inefficient, mostly serves just downtown commuters, & certainly not free.

This story is horrific. A healthy 28-year-old single mother in Georgia died shortly after that state's restrictive abortion law went into effect. Doctors worried HELPING HER would land them in prison. A six-year-old boy lost his mother. www.propublica.org/article/geor...

i'm fucking dead

It's okay. I'm sure the social security service has a "forgot SSN" option where they'll send you an email to make a new one. Remember to use a minimum of 20 digits, uppercase, lowercase, numbers, symbols, emojis, no discernable words, and no letters used in your full legal name.

So one of the things that age has bought me is the incredible weariness in my soul when I hear people saying that you can force the Democrats to go left by not voting, because they will change their behavior when they lose.

GOP candidates must negotiate a thicket of tricky gotcha questions like "what was the cause of the civil war?" but also "who won the 2020 Presidential election" and "do you denounce the teachings of Hitler?"
