You misunderstood. When I said “Let’s circle back to that in the new year” I meant never contact me again.

the question to ask the republican majority on the court is “what CAN’T trump do?”

and dropped the news of it during a press conference about moving space force headquarters like zack morris breaking the fourth wall

"the great Battle of the Network Stars, huge, huge war, nobody thought it could be done, everyone begged me, 'please, Mr. President, we need your strong, manly hands to take control,' and I did it, I beat every network, many people said I should have been Kojak instead of Telly Savalas, very true"

How is it that I am 39 years old and still, every time I read a sentence that could sound mildly accusatory (eg: my welltory app alerting me with “looks like you need to slow down”), I immediately feel an urge to respond with “YOUR MOM looks like she needs to slow down!”

I always feel like a cranky old neighbor on july 4th weekend with all the illegal fireworks going on around my apartment completely traumatizing out my dog, but this year it's on a whole new level because WHAT EXACTLY ARE YOU CELEBRATING

i am halfway there then

Yep. This is illegal and unconstitutional on its face. The budget and appropriations are laws. The President "shall take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed", according to the express dictate of the federal constitution. His "priorities" are literally irrelevant.

LOVE TO SEE IT

"Alligator Alcatraz" is wrong and media should not use it. It's propaganda. Alcatraz held people convicted of crimes, particularly violent crimes. The Florida camp holds people *not* convicted of any crime. If they had been, they'd be in prison elsewhere. The site is a textbook concentration camp.

I continue to be struck by this language of “in accordance with the president’s priorities,” which treats the executive branch as an extension of the person of the president, and not a mechanism for instituting the will of Congress

flight home being delayed 5 hours: 😩 being upgraded to first class because flight got delayed 5 hours meant those ahead of me in the upgrade list decided to change flights: 😃

Just when I think S4 E7 of The Bear couldn’t get any better, The Decemberists “A Beginning Song” starts playing.

my feed has been so saturated with unprecedented content that I somehow completely missed that the bear was back???

obsessed with this

welcome to World War 3, it’s Saturday night

If Gen Z really wants to dunk on millennials, they should learn about Foursquare and go around saying stuff like, "I hear you're the mayor of this Panera Bread."

this is a day for those of us who have spent the last six months terminally online. this is for us and honestly, we deserve it.

“According to a poll” bro I polled the 36 people who occasionally watch my IG stories if they think my cat is a literal cloud and 70% said he is but that doesn’t make it true, he is in fact a cat and not a nimbostratus or whatever

you know it’s 2025 in America when you hear loud booms and you’re not sure if it’s fireworks or we’re under attack by foreign or domestic enemies but your reaction is just 🤷‍♀️ and continuing to watch your netflix show

this is the most sociopathic thing ive ever seen and i wrote a whole book about neonazis

do the Germans have a word for when your most common typo is skipping a word in a sentence you wrote because your brain was moving too fast

I love you Billie and you deserve this but also I’m sorry that so many people won’t celebrate your win because this award was our last hope for Taylor

cute of CBS to have a commercial like “hey may is mental health awareness month so take a moment for yourself” when there’s 30 mins left of the AMAs and Taylor hasn’t shown and we’re all losing our hope for rep tv

Ok I’m late getting to the AMAs, is Taylor there or what

I wish journalists would stop framing political news as wins or losses for politicians or political parties. It’s an abrogation of our mission. Why do we keep doing this? Is the spending bill a win or loss for the American people? Who does it help? Who does it hurt? Is it sound policy? Fiscally?

yea we'll take another round of $1.50 hot dogs. just put it on my tab

i want a covid booster tbh

I’m sorry but considering the volume of current events headlines we’ve probably all gotten news alerts for in the last 2 days, this News motivation was so out-of-place that I almost did a spit-take.

I am very angry and very tired today but every time I’m feeling particularly overwhelmed, I hug one of my three pets and suddenly I remember that joy can still occupy the same space as all other emotions

I wonder how many people are watching this on my flight

My flight to LHR is about to take off and I’m already homesick for my pets 😭😭😭

lmfaoooo

the hierarchy of delta lounges at jfk is so weird to me. I would have thought the centurion lounge would be the nicest based on annual spend mins for cards (except skymiles reserve) but it's meh. centurion lounge < delta sky club < delta one. Delta one is miles above (pun intended) the 2 others.

To the other birds in my bedroom window’s vicinity: can you go tell that dude bird that no means no so he’ll stop shouting his mating call at 3:55 AM

I'm doing something really embarrassing and reskeeting myself because I would love more people to read this and share their POV. The piece was a labor of love but also really hard to write for personal reasons. I'm not looking for validation (I swear) but thoughtful critiques are so very welcome!

New #Substack piece up on how complexity and nuance in an age of absolutism is moral courage. 📰 Check it out: unexpectedinsights.substack.com/p/truth-in-t... 🧠 Open to disagreement. (That's kinda the point.)

Did…did JD Vance just break the national championship trophy?

was it trying to stop

one of my worst regular habits is using command + t when I see something interesting while browsing, like "hmm yes I want to dig into that skeet later" or "oooh will definitely read all four of these new posts from the people I follow on substack today" + then I read nothing and have 10000 open tabs

love how the universe was like yo so this would be a great time for new seasons for both black mirror and handmaid’s tale to premiere right
