Funny how birds visually represent freedom, but are never getting any of my popcorn. Stare all you want you shitty toothless dinosaurs.

A representative comment from TikTok:

I take off my blindfold. Before me is a gory tableau of death and destruction, bodies strewn across the landscape. The piñata is unscathed.

So the small town had this lottery where they all pick slips out of this box and then whoever gets the marked slip is stoned to death by all the other townsfolk, and I just really think that Airbnb owes me a refund.

(stoically chopping wood at a remote cabin) Subway franchise manager: strange place to find the world's best sandwich artist me: ..that's the past. I left that life behind

i just got a warning on reddit bc i posted the mean girls quote "we should all just stab caesar" and the automod accused me of "threatening violence or physical harm"

Me pronouncing pineapples like Minneapolis will probably come up in divorce court

I’m sorry but if your students use AI to write papers and you use AI to grade them zero school is happening. You are running together on a hamster wheel

If you finish eating something and then notice that it was crazy expired you'll be fine if you just stop thinking about it immediately.

I love how seriously this guy took not using his phone. Dude bought a Rolodex.

Nope. It's not about "campus activism," it's about Harvard not being willing to adjust basically everything they do to placate the Trump admin. I know this, because I read the fucking article.

real ghost evidence caught on camera

You should care about Palestinians because they are people but you should also care about them because what they are doing to them is what Western governments are seeing if they can do to all of us in the future

The interview was going great until my puppet started screaming

You will never catch me replying to myself with my sockpuppet account, I had to block that bitch, she sided against me in every argument. And she knew everything about me, her insults were so cutting and personal.

if you’ve recently traveled into or out of the US and had any unusual interactions with CBP, i’d like to hear about them (regardless of immigration status—citizens, permanent residents, visa holders) email: gaby @ the verge dot com, i’m also on signal ✨

I know like everything else Meta has said in the last five or so years this is just vaporware that will never exist but I think even suggesting this should be illegal.

The federal #Conservatives have regularly taken aim at Liberal Leader Mark Carney’s former company, Brookfield Asset Management. But an IJF analysis found seven Conservative MPs said they owned stock in that company as of last year. buff.ly/bafNByH #election2025 #cdnpoli #MarkCarney

Everyone on Bluesky making sure their mutuals aren’t the Matt Yglesias sock puppet account by making them write a good post

I think one thing chatGPT's invention has revealed is how many people - including some very important people in society - find just basic reading and writing to be laborious and cumbersome to perform, and how oddly closely that type of strained literacy correlates with having other shitty opinions.

lol at Matt Yglesias forgetting to switch to his sock puppet account

The Liberal staffers who planted 'stop the steal' buttons at a Conservative conference were *reassigned*? They weren't fired?! Are these the kids of billionaire donors? What the hell is Carney doing? God, why can't the Liberals be normal for just one goddamn election?

come to my page for the “is that guy ok” and stay for the “i don’t think this guy is ok”

We’re hearing reports that newsreader and celebrity friend Gayle King discovered one of those Alien vs Predator pyramids on the far side of the moon and touched a cool-looking glyph which shot some sort of beacon into deep space.

We've fallen behind, and the Webbys gave Scott Galloway a push on their Instagram, but we can still win this even with the interference!
