The voice we hear when Brad Pitt speaks is not the same one he hears. I can’t stop thinking about that

I see a headline that starts “Trump wrongly claims (insert thing)” and I just can’t anymore, so I scroll. Does this dude just lie for the fun of it?

Trump has has nothing tangible to offer, so he name-calls and criticizes others, and blusters and bloviates about renaming bodies of water

How do we pay for Medicare for All? How about all those premiums we pay? Instead of padding the bottom line of Big Health our premiums could help fund a system that actually works.

I remember when Twitter and Facebook used to be fun. Then they turned into these shitty parasitic hellscapes. Man, I hope that doesn’t happen here.
