It’s so hard to be a man right now. It’s just an endless burden of getting paid more, being taken more seriously, and hiring each other.

A US citizen with a learning disability who has just suffered a medical emergency asks a CBP officer for directions outside the emergency room. He ends up detained in an icebox for ten days and has the assistant secretary of DHS lying about him to the public at large. popular.info/p/us-citizen...

The Papal conclave is expected to start between the 6th and 12th of May. Eurovision is between the 13th and 17th of May. Social media is about to get very confusing.

And then there's this shitshow www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

And this made me weep www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

So, this doesn't make me feel great. www.npr.org/2025/04/22/n...

This was three months ago.

literally every day is going to provide more evidence that the "let's provide some votes for the least bad trump nominees out of respect for the presidency" was a boneheaded strategy. any idiot could have told senate democrats that any vote for any of these people was going to make them look bad.

CNN put together a collection of clips of various Trump officials who were on the signal chat criticizing Hillary Clinton’s email server

We just got this text from our landlord

american masculinity is so amazing. caring about clothes as a man apparently makes you "gay" but our position on geopolitics totally depends on whether you wear a suit

Man, just swear. Don’t get cute with it. The broadcast news is never going to pick it up, but social media will so you can just use the word “fuck”. You’re mad, you can say it.

I DON'T NEED TO SEE THE TOE SUCKING VIDEO ANY MORE THANK YOU

I don't believe in Hell, but if I did I would die happy knowing there was a special seating section for anyone currently railing against "the sin of empathy," and every one of those seats is made with hot rusty barbs

Good

hello cis friends this is what people mean by trans genocide if a type of person does not officially exist, then any harm against them cannot be measured or reported this headline change isn't even being caused by an executive order it's simply the NYT editors deciding we don't deserve to exist

The thing about super rich people is that they famously don’t care about money, excellent point

democrats won’t admit it, but my family’s economic outlook has gotten a LOT better since Trump took office. but what do i know? i don’t have a fancy economics degree, i’m just a regular guy who runs an airplane scrapyard

i will become a total shill for whichever politician decides to become the joe mccarthy of rooting out silicon valley ideology and influence

the single most un-american and anti-constitutional statement ever uttered by an american president

The Stonewall Inn released a response to the National Parks Service removing the word transgender from the park outside of the Inn. A great reminder that we have to look after each other

Excuse me while I vent for a moment SHE IS THE APPROPRIATIONS CHAIR. SHE CAN SUBPOENA OFFICIALS, HOLD TELEVISED HEARINGS, HOLD UP ANYONE’S FUNDING, ZERO OUT THE WHITE HOUSE’S FUCKING ICE CREAM AND DIET COKE BUDGET, AND ENFORCE THE APPROPRIATIONS LAWS THAT ARE THE SOURCE OF HER PERSONAL POWER.

If you're complaining about the Halftime show, it's literally not for you. You were going to watch the football anyway. It's to get eyes that aren't already football fans on the screen to see the ads. Kendrick has 22 Grammies and a Pulitzer; it's not his fault you "don't even know who he is."

I don't know any headline is bad enough to break the fever, but Elon Musk's Ketamine Dealer Is Gutting the Department of Education might do the trick

🤦

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

Murphy: "We need to act like a real opposition party in the middle of a constitutional and democracy crisis. That means we should not be moving forward nominees or legislation in the Senate. Ds should not be giving votes to nominee or legislation in the Senate until Rs get serious about this crisis"

I had to waddle like a penguin to the bus this morning and almost fell but caught myself once. Now, a couple of hours later, my body is sore like I did a full workout.

I hear this, I really do. But Democrats can make the lives of every Republican in both chambers a living hell until they break. I would like to see John Thune cry on national television. I would like Mike Johnson to beg for mercy. I want every minute of power to be like nails on a chalkboard.

First earthquake I've felt in Maine!

As a Chiefs fan, I second this.

I'm gathering petition signatures at a queer dance party and it strikes me that the trending fashion for college-age nonbinary kids (at least here in Maine in the winter) is simply "Hobbit," and I am here for it. I adore it.

Why should the public care about the freeze on the NIH? Aside from the need for scientific pursuits to make our society better… -For every dollar we invest in NIH research, there is a $2.5 return. -Research dollars help fund universities that employ non-academics. (1/)

I would be more inclined to give Elon the benefit of the doubt over the Sieg Heil salute if he hadn't just endorsed the closest thing Germany has today to the Nazi party

Ordered so much Chinese takeout for my husband and I that the restaurant gave us 4 sets of chopsticks.

I can't wait to read this one! I've heard @nnedi.bsky.social speak a bit about this time in her life and her transformation into an author. I think her voice is the perfect one to write this kind of metanarrative

Only 9 Democrats voted against advancing the Laken Riley Act: Booker Hirono Kim Markey Merkley Sanders Schatz Smith Warren The Democrats could have blocked the 60 votes needed to advance. They didn't. They are already caving. Thank the 9, and yell at the rest.

What was your favorite book in 6th grade? (This is Christmas gift research)

I had polio when i was 9. I was taken from my parents & placed in a Hospital for contageous diseases- the polio ward. I would see them once a week - thru the glass window at the end of my ward. I could not walk. It was terrifying. Kids died. Iron lungs were awful. Dont let RFK Jr ban the vaccine

If what Brianna Boston said is a legitimate threat that warrants charges and $100k bond, every man who tweeted "your body, my choice" needs to be in prison.

When she’s right she’s right

@karenkilgariff.bsky.social just listened to your wonderful story about Ward 5B. Your mention of the terrible Anita Baker reminded me of the podcast One Year. They kicked off their season on 1977 with an episode about how awful she was. open.spotify.com/episode/4FfI...

THE FIRST DAY OF CHRISTMAS IS DECEMBER 25TH THIS IS ADVENT, WHICH IS A TIME OF REFLECTION ABOUT APOCALYPSE. IT ISN'T EVEN WINTER YET, PLEASE LET ME ENJOY AUTUMN.
