Me, complaining to a friend about oxalis in my yard: “it’s the worst, it’s this invasive South African weed that gets into everything everywhere. Kind of like Elon Musk.”

Yes, and it’s heartening to be reminded that loads of us actually do have a conscience.

Never in my life did I expect to be so thrilled about lawsuits

Exactly this messaging. Simple and true!

My prediction is that Kash Patel will be a nightmare at the FBI but also eventually he will be kicked out for not being white.

Ha, yes, this! Tangentially, I spent some time playing around with the Unreal editor back in the day, and the way you programmed the bots was by making trails of little apples for them to follow.

The backlash is coming. People are big mad when you threaten their social security, regardless of party.

Rep. Rich McCormick, who represents a safe GOP district, came under harsh criticism at a local town hall that focused on the Trump administration’s moves to slash federal jobs and budgets.

This. I know things are weird and terrifying right now, but we aren’t helping if we pre-emptively give up on elections! Nihilism won’t save us.

Even if our current administration is made of the worst psychopaths you can imagine, just remember: we outnumber them. By a lot. No matter how much money they have and no matter how much hell they unleash in the name of tribute to the oligarchy, they ultimately can’t overcome us.

This reminds me of a comment my partner made (during the 2020 election, while the votes were still being counted); essentially he said that if Trump gets back into office, the rest of us are going to experience what Black & trans people have been dealing with all along. 😬

I’m down with this. We’ve been invaded from within by the most un-American forces imaginable, and they don’t deserve to keep the symbol of the country they’ve betrayed.

100% this. It’s a gold-plated AI-generated glossy slop nightmare. No depth, no real beauty, just a slapdash veneer of gaudy sleaze surrounding a sucking chest wound of nihilism.

Rare Susan Collins W.

Random, but I am weirdly glad to have saved a photo of how my room looked when I was 16. This was circa 1995, and I had a fascination with optical illusions & psychedelic art.

Vibe check today: optimism growing that enough of America will shake off the trump trance to ultimately save the constitution/democracy, but that this absolutely will not happen until a lot of people who didn’t expect to be harmed are harmed.

I 🖤 her and wish we’d gotten more of this! Would have been super cool to see an alternate timeline ep with her and VampWillow getting up to shenanigans together.

Pearl (the little one on the left) and Brodie (the tabby on the right) have an interesting relationship wherein Pearl is either smacking Brodie repeatedly in the face or being his bestie. (Brodie always forgives her brat moments because he’s the pushover uncle).

FFS, how many times are we doing this?

*snort* yes.

Someone needs to stop him. We need a way to decouple money from power.

DEI is literally good for business. The more diverse a set of customers and staff you can build good relations with, the more you can sell and the more people will want to buy. Some retailers are apparently going to need to re-learn that the hard way.

I think what a lot of senators (at least Dems) didn’t fully realize was that even the relatively less batshit nominees this time around were going to lie to get confirmed and then just do whatever MAGA BS their masters demand afterward.
