They have made the world living hell for no reason whatsoever. People will ask why this happened in a decade and there will be tremendous effort to make it more complicated than “they were evil, stupid, and bored”

A U.S. citizen on their way to work abducted by ICE then locked in a basement, with federal government employees refusing to consider indisputable proof of citizenship. Congress endorses it. SCOTUS keeps thwarting judges from even slowing it. What more is there to say? We live under fascism now.

I wish Brandon et al had done this in Chicago. Immediately kept people in the city informed about what they were doing, where trouble lay, and importantly what help they would need from city residents. Then a CONSISTENT communication directly from the 5th floor.

Holy fuck. That's such a stark and important number to get out there: your baby is 44 per cent more likely to survive to see their first birthday if they receive all the recommended childhood vaccines on time.

I think we all saw why the establishment on both sides of the aisle hate ranked choice voting. God forbid the billionaire class lose their privileges.

When people complain about villains in fiction doing a whole monologue about their crimes and how unrealistic it is, just remember that this is how real villains behave.

Also, like, if you put a grocery store somewhere, that opens up the opportunity to put other stores and restaurants nearby. People LOVE hitting all their errands in one shot and you can generate a lot of business with a well placed store.

Zohran Mamdani is saying things like “poverty is a policy choice and politicians have a duty to their constituents to make their lives affordable” and it is making a lot of politicians very very scared that they may actually have to start doing some actual service in their public service jobs.

Motion to stop using the term “cosplaying” to describe people who are acting in ways that are dis genuine and harmful to others. That is not what cosplay means. Call them what they are. Charlatans. Liars. Bullshit artists.

Feels like ranked choice was absolutely decisive in this race—not because of the vote count, but because of how it changed the incentives from zero-sum to cooperapetitive. It allowed a fractured left field to align organically through co-endorsements instead of falling into a circular firing squad.

Always loved the people who are like, "But my ancestors came here the legal way!" and by that they mean they arrived via ratship to an island, a man asked them their name, they were like, "Uh, Jeff... Smith?" another guy said "sure?" and then they became permanent residents of the United States.

RUIZ: Did you read the report & fact-check its sources prior to publication? RFK JR: I did not fact check RUIZ: It included citations to sources that don't exist. How does that happen? RFK JR: All of the foundational assertions are accurate RUIZ: They did not exist. How can they be accurate?

I have a working theory that the dehumanizing of the homeless in cities is a gateway drug which helps leads to ICE sweeps, police shooting rubber bullets into crowds, etc. once the homeless are a menace who need to be destroyed, not people squeezed out by housing costs, something is lost, morally.

HOW are my father's genes this powerful. Sorry to people I give unsolicited advice to, my half-sister just out of nowhere advised that I should keep my bread in the fridge (no, I shouldn't; she and I have very different bread-eating patterns, her bread experience is irrelevant to mine).

In case you can't tell what just happened, JK Rowling instructed her followers to take photos of anyone in a women's restroom who doesn't match their idea of Western feminine beauty standards. Short hair? Thick cheekbones/jaw? Too tall or broad-shouldered? You're now "a man" and will be harassed.

Why would "feet tingle enough to keep me awake" be seasonal? We switched to summer sheets, viscose percale instead of fleecy. I use a fleecy flat sheet still because the light smooth slitheriness of viscose on my legs triggered a "something touched my legs" kick reflex. So only viscose fitted.

If your job is so vital to the functioning of society that you are required to work on holidays, then you should be getting paid and treated accordingly. Essential workers during COVID were just that—essential. So why are so many severely underpaid?

okay and here is my ‘sounds like a shitpost but it’s genuine’ UK heatwave tip: if there is a Saxon or Norman church near you, and it’s open, go sit in it. not gothic, they have too many windows, get you some thick stone walls with some high up tiny windows. they stay cold. and you can just sit there
