This is so fucking bleak

A grilled cheese made with Gruyère. Or as I like to call it, a Gruyìlled cheese

I'll go ahead with slavery and the genocide of Native Americans as the lowest points but who am I to say.

Barbara Howard and Melissa Schementi have like the most wholesome TV friendship. I wanna cook them dinner and trade stories with them

This is a thread about a political influence project you’ve never heard of. It involves the man second in line for the presidency and an evangelical pastor who’s quietly forged close relationships with some of the most powerful men in the country.

again, every single D in the senate voted to confirm this guy. Sanders, Warren, supposed security experts like Gary Peters. all decided to vote for this fascist because "collegiality". just repulsive and shameful.

Dude's entire country is on the line and he's not capitulating because he knows deference to power does not buy you favor if your interests are opposed to theirs. A fucking LOT of people in the US could learn from this example

This whoooooooe thread. Worth a minute or two of your time methinks

oh no, it would be such a shame if all the gov workers and everyone else read this book and implemented it. It would be such a drag (for 45/47) *links below

This is an absolutely stunning betrayal

😂

When one's politics is one dimensional and entirely based on "lol got em" you can miss things like this

“Does Our Code Kill Kids, Satya?” Five Microsoft employees were ejected from a company meeting after confronting CEO Satya Nadella over the company’s contracts with Israel’s military. They wore t-shirts reading, “Does Our Code Kill Kids, Satya?” (Read the Drop Site investigation, link in reply)

Oh my god?!

"How many white podcasts do you listen to?" "Hundreds." I love Abbott Elementary so fucking much

“Porn” is a public good. “Porn” is the sign of a healthy, open society. “Porn” is record of the diversity of sexual expression. “Porn” brings people joy, access to parts of themselves that they may not have another way to express. It’s worth defending on its own.

It'd be so rad if we had an opposition party

And while you're at it, also don't respond to sentiments like these "jokingly" doing the thing you're being asked not to. Also not funny

I'm not sure it would be an excuse even if this were all new. But none of this is in fact new.

It is in fact generally cis people who end up being most fragile. Because the gentlest "oh hey my pronouns are they/them" correction is often treated as if it were being screamed in their face instead of gently and calmly stated. The fragility is entire them

This is an appreciation post for both Oaxaca and Gruyère cheese. Thank you.

I understand and appreciate the sentiment I do but thats not what it means either. The idea of being aware of systemic racism being made a byword by the right only to be sanitized as general good heartedness demonstrates how concepts are drained of vigor. variety.com/2025/film/ne...

Why the FUCK do we not talk about Solok in conversations about the best Star Trek villain. I'm not sure there's a more punchable face in all of space show

I love roller derby so much

Still thinking about when the nazis showed up in Cincy, I saw several reactions that amounted to "clearly they're from out of state" with the implication there being "we don't have those here." And Christ is that a good illustration of at least part of how we got to this political moment

Everyone loves the DS9 ep Bar Association, and rightly so. I feel like an under appreciated fact about that episode is that Rom's extremely frequent masturbation is the inciting incident

It's so continually frustrating how people continue to misunderstand right wing thinking. Almost every formulation of the social media gotcha "it's so wild how X when Y" is really just another way to say "I've never tried to understand the way these people think."

Ah, the 1930s Germany frame. But in the post-reconstruction era, America had Jim Crow, the resegregation of the federal workforce, and deadly pogroms against black people in the South. We’ve been here before. It’s just it didn’t happen to white people. Where do yall think Germany learned from?

It would be so neat if we stopped using the word "everyone" as a euphemism for marginalized communities. The inclusion of *everyone* is not what's in question. Say the fucking words. Black, Indigenous, BIPOC, migrant communities, queer people, disabled people, trans people. Say. The. Fucking. Words.
