But this far the villain thing hasn’t worked. They’ve been exposed as ,,, neighbors.

@wydot.bsky.social is my biggest source of joy On Here, and this traffic camera photo is one of the very best I’ve seen.

also to be clear, if you can't easily understand the value of a functioning government in Liberia, you should stop eating paint

My Beat? English.

women requested that they no longer be raped and American men decided to burn down the planet

"daddy, what did you do in the war" son, i archived all 6,793 videos from the Kennedy Center before they disappeared from the internet we all did our part

Ukrainians currently joking on Twitter — Trump may want to nuke us after Zelensky’s press conference, so thank god they fired all the people who know where the launch codes are.

“…the Silicon Valley bros currently running the country are people who don’t know anything about how government works and have no idea what they don’t know”

Republicans don’t “want children to die.” They want WEAK children to die. It doesn’t matter how passively or directly they’re saying it, from Joe Rogan to RFK to Elon Musk. It’s eugenics.

“nobody saw this coming” = “we considered everyone who saw this coming a nobody”

Do Not Comply In Advance: bossy, already a cliche, implies permission to comply later Fuck You, Make Me: leads by example, directs yelling at opposition instead of allies, easy to chant at a protest or put on a banner

all I've got for today is when political commentators lament that "no one" was covering the rise of Christian nationalism or conspiracy theories about "DEI" (read: non-existent discrimination against white men for being white men) they just mean "the three guys whose newsletters I read didn't"

I thought my 18 yo, who asked me last year if anyone had ever believed in “the End of History,” would get a laugh out of this. Then I realized I would first need to explain “tape” and rewind.” We are truly a lonely generation.

So Trump's shutting down of the entire government's funding system for American projects is literally so he can go line by line and target transgender people and other minorities. When we said transphobia affects cis people too, well... here you go.

As a one issue voter (Defund Meals On Wheels) today has been great!

Get thee to a nunnery ✝️

There is a political divide between people who mean "act like a man, as opposed to a woman" and "act like a man, as opposed to a boy"
