tfw you’ve been offline just long enough to miss the news drop of something disturbing and/or hilarious

Thanks, Past Me, this is really super helpful. #writing

This is the first pope comedown where I've not been "WHEE!" but instead worriedly hissing through my teeth and wondering what comes next.

According to my mom this is basically how my grandma died, except with doctors instead of the pope.

Not to get too meta about it but this is how I learned the pope died.

No one should be surprised that the woefully underqualified security dude continues to be woeful but damn, perhaps we can have some consequences, as a treat?

A second group chat has hit Pete Hegseth.

If Vance had the brains of an average third-rate flunky, he'd spin this into a moment of revelation and come out swinging with newfound enlightenment, then spend the next three years working the "well, Trump was chosen by God, I guess" crowd.

used to be you could just have a good laugh at these guys but now you wake up one day and they’re the assistant secretary of state for near eastern affairs or something

Brown: Your father can troll you better than anyone else in the world. Me: No, wrong. Brown: Baby you just spelled your name out for him. Me: Yeah because he might not have known—GOD DAMN IT

LOB-STER FIGHT! LOB-STER FIGHT!!!! LOB-STER FIGHT!!!!!!!!

Just a whole round green orb full of big chonky bois. #gardening #BloomSky

The author of ON TYRANNY addresses what might follow a large-scale attack in a setting where "In just three months, the Trump people have made the unthinkable much more likely. They have created the conditions for terrorism, and thus for terror management."

Testing my new allergy meds at the cat cafe.

Hi friends, please be on extra alert this weekend if you're out and about. The next couple weeks are highly symbolic to the global far right and there are often highly visible attacks or events around this time. However, I am NOT seeing anything about planned attacks

Each time I buy groceries I learn we’re a little closer to the prophesied $10 banana.

I had The Insomnia and was awake to watch this delight play out last night: around 2AM, SCOTUS slammed the door on vanishing more people (in a specific region in Texas) overseas. Tholitio the only dissent.

It's not "did not vote" it's "voter suppression". It's single day elections on work/school days people can't take off, miss out on $, or fit into the day. It's reducing early & Sunday voting, ID demands, not allowing advocates to provide refreshment in voting lines, no online option, GERRYMANDERING!

Time for corpse math!

Pat would object to being called an assassin, as he's never killed anyone (with his own hands), but the packages do need to get to their destinations while also screaming or ticking down or leaking trace amounts of radiation.

These people will answer before a court of one sort or another someday. The only question for the Supreme Court is if they want that court to be them.

I feel like we need a Big Boat Stuck or a dramatic Tree Law event to help us heal.

Great thread about how to budget and plan for shortages and the coming “unexpected” economic downturn. I’ll add that I’ve been buying extra underwear as that’s the only clothing I won’t wear secondhand.

Pharmacist: Allergy medication pickup? Me: howebber hid hou hess?
