Foul-mouthed yellow-dog Democrat, knitter from Illinois. She/her. Probably not that interesting. A student of mine once wrote on an evaluation, "She thinks she's funny, but she's not." Please don't DM me.

no no no you misunderstood. I said “fuck YOUR feelings”. MY feelings are very important and must be handled gently, like a tiny baby hummingbird

As Deep Throat supposedly said about Watergate, "The truth is these are not very bright guys, and things got out of hand." Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose

Powdered sugar is the glitter of the baking world.

I remember when "What's the worst that can happen?" was a rhetorical question instead of a section of the newspaper.

We could've had taco trucks on every corner. 😢

I wrote this bit that is entirely unrelated to current things

Thread. Scroll up for the beginning.

I support my governor 100%. 😎

I just want to share this absolutely incredible line, no context needed.

I am so sick of assholes who argue that selecting from 30% of the population (white guys) or some subset of 60% (add enough but not too many white women) would somehow lead to more excellence than drawing on the best of the whole population. It's bargain-basement eugenics and I loathe it.

Y’all gotta stop putting the entire weight of forgiveness on our shoulders. They gotta want to change. Even if it’s selfish motivation, they have to accept that they done fucked up. Embracing these people without that will just bring us right back to where we are now. Fuck the status quo ante.

This is so damn bizarre. Like, total bananapants.

What if the problem all along was the first word, not the second

Don’t threaten me with a good time

It's not like we needed another reminder that if you are rich enough the law doesn't apply to you, but we are sure are getting it.

CJR gave me the opportunity to write the story I've so wanted to write about the wave of liberal anger with the NY Times, Washington Post, et ilk, over campaign coverage, quoting many journalists and exploring theories. www.cjr.org/analysis/lib...

I've never liked Alexi Giannoulias, but I didn't realize he was an utter dumbass.

Good question. www.theverge.com/politics/605...

Think Tank Called ‘The Himmler Institute’ Assures Nation This All Legal theonion.com/think-t...

Conservative budget wonks (Manhattan Instiutte, Tax Foundation) confirming that this is a consittutional crisis. Not liberal hysteria. Happening right now.

“um, epic bacon! it seems that we need the regulation about open vats of dangerous chemicals. sorry about your father! DOGE offers you a two week free trial for X.”

Let me reiterate, living in interesting times really sucks.

FYI, check your student loan status

Guys. Read just three more sentences.

We had an entire movie about why you do not give AI access to the Nuclear codes, people.

“Meritocracy.”

Off to the word mines for the day but everyone needs cheering up on a Sunday like this. I've told this one before but anyway, gather around, children, for this is the story of how my paternal grandmother, the quietest woman to ever live, beat up the most famous magician in Asia during his act

When I think about it, Elon’s doing just as he always has. He buys something someone else built and claims it’s his. Tesla, Space X, the United States.

Remember when Obama wore a tan suit. Good times.

This has been another episode of #FTFNYT

The 1984 election was traumatic. That curb stomping sent Democrats into a huddled crouch for decades & I don't think we've straightened up yet.

The 1973 The Three Musketeers + the 1974 The Four Musketeers are the absolute best film adaptation of Alexandre Dumas' novel. Absolute. Best.

Leave it to Trump to piss off the friendliest country on the planet
