The local Harris Teeter has this huge Valentine’s Day display right at the entrance to the store - balloons, cards, flowers, etc. I joined a long, guilty looking parade of men there this morning at 7:30am. Heads high, gentlemen! It’s still on time if you get back before your partner wakes up!

Google can fuck right off for obeying in advance!

Meg Ryan and Billy Crystal recreate their famous scene from “When Harry Met Sally” for a Super Bowl ad. Except, Ryan says: “oh my gosh” instead of “oh my god”. Is there anything that can’t be made lame by the over reaching touch of religion?

I only saw this comic thanks to @jefftiedrich.bsky.social. I'd love it if someone would share it each day for the next four years.

What do you get when you bring together a smart corrupt person and a dumb corrupt person? Two of the most corrupt people on the planet! Sand and embarrassing.

I’m beyond thrilled to be selected as a speaker at #JCON2025. It’s particularly exciting to be there during the 30th anniversary of Java. I attended my first beta demo in NYC in 1995 and the rest is history. 2025.europe.jcon.one

DEI is the new CRT. Most criticisms of both are rooted in systemic racism. The same way that fights against bodily autonomy and equal pay for women are rooted in misogyny.

Looks like Leon won the cage match with Zuck after all... "A trans person isn't a he or she, it's an it," reads a new guideline telling moderators what is now allowed on Facebook and Instagram

“Well done, my good and faithful servant”… are the first words that came to my mind when hearing of the passing of President Carter. He & his bride committed their lives to service in the most selfless way. Let us all honor his legacy by doing our part to serve our country & our community.

$16 billion was spent in the last election. Enough to eradicate world hunger. Twice over. Our elections now feel like auctions. A contest to corral the most billionaires. Citizens United put us on the fast track to an oligarchy. For us to find our way back, it has to be undone.

I wish I lived in a country where Mitch McConnell, John Kelly, Bill Barr and John Bolton had at least half the balls of E. Jean Carroll, Stormy Daniels, Christine Blasey Ford, or Anita Hill.

Stephen Miller is a descendant of asylum seekers who fled anti-semitic violence. Miller is the great-grandson of a Jewish immigrant who fled the poverty and pogroms of the Russian Empire in the early 1900s. Miller, a Jew, says that mass deportations will be Trump's first priority.

Can we just admit that we NEED immigrants for our economy to run, from agriculture to high tech? We’re a goddamn nation of immigrants, aren’t we? Let’s be proud of our immigrant heritage!

To force a rape victim to carry to term and give birth is to partake in the rape. It's complicit. It's also perpetrating a deeply sadistic act on top of a previous deeply sadistic act under the guise of religious piety. And, in siding with the rapist, it facilitates further raping.

so if I'm understanding the tech-bro position correctly, it's this

Just finished @jamieloftus.bsky.social three part series on the manosphere. It’s so damn good. Big takeaway: it’s on us men to dismantle toxic masculinity. Start with fd signifier on YouTube. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/s...

At my wife’s family’s Christmas party they did a “white elephant” thing. Someone wrapped a box of maga crap. My daughter opened it and the place erupted into applause and high fives. I was left profoundly sad. Then, I got nervous as they chanted: “put on the hat”. My daughter said “hell no”. ❤️ her!

Costco responded to shareholders requesting that it withdraw from DEI policies. The response was direct and to the point: Costco says, "Our board has considered this proposal and believes that our commitment to an enterprise rooted in respect & inclusion is appropriate & necessary." ❤️COSTCO♥️

Who made this?

Whew! A major Tesla investor, Ross Gerber, holding over $100 million in Tesla stock, slams Elon Musk for backing a Neo-Nazi-linked party in Germany. @gerberkawasaki.bsky.social

"One of the great tragedies of mankind is that morality has been hijacked by religion. So now people assume that religion and morality have a necessary connection. But the basis of morality is really very simple and doesn't require religion at all." Arthur C. Clarke

x.com/billkristol/... This guy owns the presidency He wants Nazis back in charge of Germany. That’s what he tweeted at 1 am

RFK Jr cares more about promoting conspiracy theories than your health. He keeps company with conspiracy theorists and extremists who opposed science-backed measures. His misinformation campaign helped cause the death of 83 people, mainly kids. Tell your Senators to Vote NO!

It’s weird to think that Elon Musk will end up having paid far less for the United States Government than he did for Twitter

President-elect Musk is really setting down the marker of how he wants to run his administration. VP Trump better pay attention.

#MorningVibe ‘No country can ever truly flourish if it stifles the potential of its women and deprives itself of the contributions of half of its citizens.’ ♀️ Michelle Obama #ERANow

Just a reminder that in 2019, RFK Jr.'s anti-vaccine misinformation campaign helped cause a measles outbreak in Samoa that killed 83 people, mostly kids. Do you really want him to lead the Department of Health and Human Services?

THIS is how it’s done, folks.

It was such a relief to delete my account on Twitter, which I did the day after Elmo bought it. I’ve now deleted my threads account after zuck decided to kiss the ring. Feels great! I like this place…

imagine a country so furious about drag performers that it voted for polio

Now more than ever!

FBI informant Alexander Smirnov has cut a plea deal with federal prosecutors, admitting that he totally fabricated an outrageous tale of Joe Biden and his son Hunter accepting millions of dollars in bribes in exchange for favors to benefit Ukrainian energy company Burisma. Smirnov…

Honored and humbled to be among the “featured session submitters” for JCON 2025. 2025.europe.jcon.one/speaker

What’s happening in NC should be much bigger scandal: gerrymandered GOP legislature stripping power from Dem gov & AG in lame-duck session while Rs trying to throw out 60k votes to overturn Dem victory in state Supreme Court race www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

If you need a laugh, Congress's biggest stunt queen, Nancy Mace, forgot to log out and log back in on one of her sock puppet Nancy Mace fan accounts to talk about her fake attack.

No wonder Magats are so uneducated...
