One thing I do at the Noho Home Alliance when there’s downtime at the mail and hygiene window is parcel out jumbo packs of Q-tips into baggies of 6 so that as many of our guests as possible can have a few days’ supply to take with them. Anyway, yes on 40. No on 41 and 42. nohohome.org/donate/

When the right wing ratfucking squad sends their people…they're not sending their best

SCOOP: 'Tommy' from the now-viral exchange with Abdul El-Sayed is Thomas Teepell, a former staffer for Republican Senator Josh Hawley with close ties to Christian Nationalist Sean Feucht. He's the son of a former Bobby Jindal staffer whose consultant work was instrumental in getting Hawley elected.

People like Dennis Hastert always seem to die long after their damage is done while people like Dolly Parton always seem to die while they’re still doing so much good

This would’ve been the most fun and exciting series if you could just erase all the white supremacists that were rooting for one of the teams 

While you were partying, I studied the blade. Then I studied another blade, then another, then another. And that’s how I invented the Schick Quattro.

The eternal struggle: make progress on any one of three projects that I’m legitimately excited about or go over to the other site and scroll through what the world’s loudest dumbest most toxic bigots have to say about women’s basketball

Mulling over a new story for Deathbed about a terrifying shadow dimension populated by all the people who send the automatic “Hi, is this available?” message on Facebook Marketplace then immediately vanish forever

Absolutely insane game from the Portland Fire. Key players injured, nothing whatsoever on the line, and they are going all out to put away the #2 team in the league.

I will also say that a lifetime of playing head, shoulders and torso better than her competition has done Caitlin Clark’s mindset no favors at the professional level

Crazy that there’s only one truly funny person in this lineup and even crazier that he’s also an NBA Champion

Oh cool an all-new set of size templates on the way for social media posts, can’t wait to redesign everything and for all previous designs to look fucked up

iPhone Duo announced (foldable)

I get that people want to demolish the ballroom ASAFP but converting it to federally subsidized housing would be much less wasteful and would make him way madder.

This is fine, but I would appreciate it if foreign heads of state would just post stuff like “The American president is a lying incontinent halfwit and there is no earthly reason for anyone to pay attention to anything he says”

This post is unavailable.

I wonder if there’s like one guy who is in charge of all of the country’s food safety and if that same guy slashed budget and personnel for inspections and whether any journalist might ask him about the near constant daily food recalls we are dealing with

Dolly Parton was a deeply flawed Christian by today’s standards but that’s only because she understood and lived her life according to Christ’s teachings

Jesus was kind of a sap though, just passing out loaves and fishes to the multitudes when some of them probably could’ve saved up to buy a fish of their own after a few short weeks building pyramids or whatnot

The phrase “American business leader” can kick rocks, just say “some rich guy”

Shams Charania Tweets@shamsbot.bsky.social

American business leader Marc Stad has completed a deal to become the controlling owner and largest shareholder of the NBA’s Minnesota Timberwolves and WNBA’s Minnesota Lynx by buying the majority of co-owner Marc Lore’s stake at a $4.5 billion valuation, sources tell ESPN.

All that remains now is for Hakeem Jeffries to publicly reprimand Ossoff and the cycle can begin anew 

Matt Royer 🤘🏼@mattroyer.bsky.social

Looks like the WH put out the bat signal in the influencer groupchat because hit dogs are hollerin'. Ossoff's "travel with Natalie" is causing a nuclear-level MAGA meltdown and a lot of inference is happening from just 3 words, so Trump's camp seems to be telling on him. Yikes.

As Ossoff is a senator, it’s technically Chuck Schumer who should be kneecapping him but unfortunately Schumer entered an upper east side restaurant men’s room several weeks ago and has not been heard from since
