I love to see a local business with its phone number on the sign with no area code. Real street cred right there. A pillar of the community.

It would be nice if elected Democrats start speaking up about the regime seeking to nullify the will of hundreds of thousands of voters in the city where masked armed agents did street executions in front of cameras

why are there several emoji for blood (🩸🅰️🆎🅱️🅾️) yet no emoji accounting for excesses of the other three humors? for phlegm, nothing. for yellow bile, nada. and for black bile, zippo. an astonishing oversight

Ms Rachel from the top ropes

look I don't always agree with the shadow on the cave wall but some of you are being really unreasonable in the meta discourse about last night's shadow

every modern online persons fantasy is to stop posting for several months and come back much cooler and stronger and more attractive. no one has ever done this

Ossoff is one of the very few people adequately channeling Evelyn Normielib these days the base doesn't want to hear entreaties to our better natures, they don't want to go high while the other side goes low, they want someone to come on the TV and go "these people are garbage" he's good at it

"everything will be personalized to your tastes", sure, okay. and how do those tastes develop, champ? how are they formed, hermano? prithee, big dog, how do those tastes to evolve?

gregor samsa awoke one morning to discover he had been transformed into a sickass beetle. fuck yeah he said scuttling all over the walls and ceiling like no dumbfuck traveling salesman could ever do. this is the best day of my life he said

Man who won’t give his employees piss breaks claims many piss breaks on the horizon

I understand why it's called "breakfast" but I wasn't really trying that hard to fast, it's just that I can't eat when I'm sleeping

increasingly feels like my Perfectly Fine liberal arts education was an artifact grabbed fleeing a burning temple

Upgraded to the 18 Pro from the iPhone 14 Pro and while it's better overall this phone has waaaay too many buttons

“If you’re a US citizen you have no reason to fear” – Markwayne Mullin, responding to a video of a teenage US citizen being repeatedly punched in the face by ICE.

It’s very simple and it’s been said over and over but I guess it needs saying continuously: if you deem one group too small to have equal rights you are enabling fascism, not fighting it. The people saying Dems are GREAT on trans rights are not paying attention and/or saying stuff like this.

this tweet is NINE years old and is still the best trans rights policy advice out there

We should start calling these Cronenburgers

underrated part of El-Sayed’s messaging strategy seems to be shaming journalists who ask dumb questions that play into right-wing frames. you can’t answer these in a way that satisfies them, but you can make it embarrassing enough that you impose a toll on asking.

Pretending the days after Sept. 11, 2001 were some kind of gauzy Hallmark special when we came together as a country is nauseating and ahistorical. The country went completely insane and has not recovered

if you learn a skill or start a new hobby, it makes you a better person, not worse. nobody ever gets into calligraphy and immediately starts screeching that typefaces are useless and only the quill shall prosper. there is no "woodworking psychosis" nobody thinks they're dating their kettlebell

DO YOU GUYS THINK IN YHE WATERSPORTS COMMUNITY PEER REVIEW MEANS SKMETHING ELSE

I’m not the first person to make this observation but the prevalence of nauseating ai-generated business logos means stuff like this hits CRAZY for me now

Hell yeah I made the longlist for 3 Day Novel Contest 2025

I absolutely hate it when I draw renewed scrutiny

Remember if you’ve ever heard a Republican claim they’re actually ok with immigration but just want all the immigrants to do it legally, they were lying

I think it's bad that the Democrats' House leader is having secret chummy meetings with a guy doing a domestic ethnic cleansing operation and funding a genocide abroad, then spending his entire week going on cable news to complain about a lefty Twitch streamer who nobody knows. Sorry for offending.

The same story repeats itself everywhere in the culture: dumb rich guys who don't know what anything is or does, who are too lazy/smug to learn and ideologically committed to the idea that everything they don't control is Woke Bullshit, wrecking stuff on principle. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/25/w...

Dems should absolutely kill corn ethanol and divert the spending to solar subsidies.

We can fit so many fucking justices on that bench you won’t believe it

MEET THE PRESS: Do you support birthday cake? HAKEEM JEFFRIES: Look, I support blowing out candles, I support having streamers, I want party hats. We are focusing on hard-working middle class Americans having the birthday of their dreams.

Look at this graph. The share of national income going to the richest 10 percent was lowest (and share to lower 90 percent highest) when union membership was at its highest. As unions have weakened, inequality has widened. This is why we must build back union power.

Got a new google scholar notification, so I go check and find this very cool poem by Wang Jibing 王计兵, the recent Lu Xun prize winner, prefacing a PhD thesis on women migrant workers and the gig economy PhD students in all disciplines: more poems in theses please, we love to see them! ✨💫
