No one needs me to jump in on this, but Obama didn't say he didn't like the Cheesecake Factory. Only that a Cheesecake Factory has certain aesthetic. And if you've been to one, you know. Of course, they know this. I mean, they are stupid, yes, but... Anyhoo, enjoy your cheesecake. From the factory.

i am inviting anyone from a legacy media organization to explain to me why the house judiciary dems report on trump’s epstein’s ties and multiple allegations of rape isn’t worthy of extensively reporting on. i’m serious. i want to understand.

A serial rapist was elected twice as President, a fact we don't reckon with nearly enough. Now one of two major political parties has been molded in his image, run for and by violent sexual abusers who hate women.

Not only a vital defeat of the far right, but also a win of inestimable value for the planet.

Someday I'm going to read True Grit and I have a feeling it will become my favorite book. I love the Cohen Brother's movie so I know the story and all I ever hear about the book is how wonderful it is. Someday. Just you wait.

This sucks so much. For shame, @joshturek4iowa.bsky.social

I hate those gray vinyl floors you see in all the house flips with every fiber of my being. Hate. Stop it.

AOC: "As AI begins to encroach in our society, their goal is to take your cognition away from you. AI's goal is to take your thoughts away from you, your ability to think away from you, so that you become dependent on a machine ... reading books is active resistance"

Ramaswamy has produced an attack ad weaponizing the rape of his opponent, Amy Acton, when she was 12 years old. It features Acton’s mother, who abandoned Acton after she was raped by her step-father, fleeing the state with her husband. Here is the corporate money helping fund that ad.

Current text from every Democrat in a tight race in every corner of this country: I am about to lose and it will be your fault if you don't send me 8 dollars right now.

Slow Horses, what was that? Um..... If River Cartwright is you know what I'm going to have some words with someone. I need my River.

It's fucking great trying all these different cocktails.

A simple call on our electeds to stop abusing animals. Animal cruelty is bad, actually, and this is a simple call to them to stop animal cruelty. Click here: bit.ly/4yT8VaI

Hey, look, #Survivor fans and readers, it's my mess of a magnum opus! A bunch of babbling about @stephenfishbach.bsky.social's excellent novel, Escape! If you have 27 minutes to spare. coconutsandcastaways.com/escape-a-nov...

Elizabeth: You can see everything. Nathan: I know. He didn't even close the shower door.

yes

Why is no one talking about the naked shower scene?

So good.

The yearly dilemma is here again: do I get a bunch of pumpkins for the front for decoration or do I not spend all that money? I do like whimsy, people. I do love all the pumpkins. And yet, the guilt of the spending.

Terror and joy. Confidence and self-doubt. The best artists live right in that uncomfortable middle. You have to be scared of what will happen if you don't do your best, and strong enough to put yourself out there anyway. You don't ever get comfortable. You do it because you love it.

Rubio could take on a third job. Or is he already up to three now?

Repulsive. I'm not surprised, but it still makes me feel like I'm going to explode. Please please please please let there be some kind of justice within this universe where somehow, someway, these monsters in charge experience some sort of karma for their crimes against humanity and the world.

Wish there could be more and louder criticism of Lorne Micheals and his choice to continually invite problematic men to host SNL.

I don't know, I'd actually think it would be pretty commonplace for someone to assume that most individuals (or customers) they are seeing in their toy shop are not able or willing to afford a 15,000 wind up bird toy thing. I wouldn't personalize the experience too much.

Below--I watched the whole thing. All 6 episodes. I feel like maybe the writers were pranking us. This is such a mess and really not in a fun enough way. Just a plain old mess.

I’ll say again: Scientology, what? How do seemingly intelligent people—educated, aware, worldly, etc.—become so duped? I don’t get it. Anything I ever learn about it makes me roll my eyes.

People that have that thing where they don't think in images--how do dreams work for them? And do dreams create from what is already known, or can our brains invent new images while we sleep? If I'm dreaming about an apple orchard, is my brain referencing one I've seen already? no one knows, I bet.

Seriously, Dems, please keep talking about how obsessed he is with ballrooms, arches, and golf courses.

I don't know what this show is. I have never seen it. But based on this picture it's the greatest thing ever in the world.

Can there please be a day when Stephen Miller has to account for his crimes against humanity?

Stephen "Miller did not want the facilities that were comfortable. He did not want facilities that were humane. We were told point-blank that that was not what the administration wanted." www.npr.org/2026/10/08/n...

I'm overwhelmed by the number of wild and crazy things that happened on tonight's Survivor. All the Brodys and their plans and shenanigans! #Survivor51

I somehow have gotten the "help me pick my wedding dress" reddit constantly showing up on my reddit feed. And of course I have to now help every woman pick her wedding dress. It's a lot of work, but it has to be done. I'm here to help.

What is Brazil thinking and what is the thinking about Brazil? I need to understand.

Ordered small IGLOO cooler & what came was a pair of shelves. Not even close. Now I have to return them and, yes, first world problems, but this is such a strange mix up and your girl does not want to drive out to a UPS store with a big, long box. I'm rightly being punished for ordering via Amazon .

I don't know how else to say this, but maybe everything--everything--is just stupid. Everything is stupid. Not that many things aren't also good and lovely and necessary. But we have a lot of stupid. I think I'm tired.

feels like at least part of what is happening is that a lot of people want politics to solve the "my life feels empty" problem and the populist right is directly appealing to them
