My fellow chronic pain baddies, I recently purchased a heated mattress cover and it’s like sleeping on a warm cloud. Highly recommend for the those who already sleep with a heating pad, have pain (especially at night ) or get cold easily.

Replying to @amandamarcotte.bsky.social

This report is genuinely overwhelming, in terms of the evidence both against Trump and of a ham-fisted cover-up. Including one instance in which Ghislaine Maxwell was actually about to mention one of Trump's young accusers and Todd Blanche told her to stop talking. The media response is "yawn."

Not a big story, it's just the Attorney General working with an imprisoned pedophile to help cover up the pedophile President's crimes conducted with his best friend for 15 years, a pedophile who the President sent, as a birthday card, a drawing of a naked adolescent girl.

When I say I love Cheesecake Factory, I mean this cat who was found malnourished and wandering through a Bay Area mall parking lot. Cheesecake Factory has since been rescued and nursed back to health. He's now healthy, vaxxed, & sweet, but still needs a loving home www.petfinder.com/cat/cheeseca...

anyway someone in the Northern Cali area go make Cheesecake Factory your best buddy ASAP and make an account for him on here while you can still take advantage of the trending Discourse for maximum exposure, it's a win win in that you'll get engagement and we'll get more cats on the TL

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.

It’s just so appalling and enraging how casual and commonplace this has become. I’m out of words.

plumbing issues are worse than electrical ones because the average "bad" electrical issue kills me and is done with it but the average "bad" plumbing issue is gonna have me cleaning and throwing out shit for days just hit me with the zaps already, this shit is fuckin' gross

Polymarket ad on Hulu: boo The Polymarket ad ends on a young woman watching <20 gal of gas costing over $100 as she looks on in shock and the final bet on screen is "will gas prices come down before 2027" with the odds going WAY down, and the screen mentions "track the midterm odds live": ...yay?

"Polymarket ads are low-key pointing out how fucking expensive gas is on nationwide streaming services" feels like a potential data point on the "how are all the entities squarely in the crosshairs of a Dem Congress feeling about the midterms rn", leaning towards "oh god HEDGE HEDGE HEDGE"

NEW: "Donald Trump was an active participant in Jeffrey Epstein’s sexual abuse of young women during the mid-to-late 1990s," per new House Judiciary Dem report. Report has new allegation that Trump raped a 24-year-old and then promised the victim a visa & NYU admission, demanding she stay quiet.

Sign of the times: Someone chalked “National Guard Stay Away” outside an early voting center in Columbia Heights. There have been local and national concerns around federal agents (or the National Guard in D.C.) appearing at or near polling places ahead of next week’s elections.
