I remain convinced that the most effective response to a politician or a pundit who's pushing transphobia is "I'm not sure why you're obsessed with other people's genitals but it's really creepy"

I remember in September 2020 the AQI in Portland was 541. Cause that was the highest reading the technology allowed. Traumatizing.

maybe this is why billionaires as a class are fighting so hard for immortality. dying is just so proletarian and people make fun of you after

If only the Nazi tattoo had been an indication that a person was a POS? Apparently not.

Happy anniversary to the American Apparel intern who attempted to post a photo tribute to the 4th but it was actually an image of parts of the exploded Challenger shuttle streaking through the sky. #murka

Desperately hoping for the Opti-Grab-like downfall of “smart” glasses.

It sounds crazy, but I guess when somebody tells you their only mistake was a Nazi tattoo, its possible they actually made a series of other mistakes that did not happen to produce a Nazi tattoo.

I should have known better than to ever truly adore a politician. I couldn’t be more disappointed by Elizabeth Warren’s endorsement. Lesson learned forever. Not proud of how devastated I am.

I had been ruminating on this in the last few days, but the validation I feel after reading this certainly isn’t comforting.

Do I recall @hcrichardson.bsky.social referring to Fox “News” sometime last week as “FNC?” I think we should make that stick. I’m convinced using News legitimizes the propaganda agency, so how about we just like…stop doing that?

Well I can certainly do without fucking Hegseth dropping a siggie heil this morning.

The words “young lady” and “young man” need to disappear.

Something soothing and pretty

Kristi Noem is a monster. Plain and simple. That being said, I’d be thrilled if the internet laid off the very lazy and too frequent use of “cunt.”

It’s genuinely wild that the United States spent decades building an elaborate rules-based international order which de facto cemented its permanent status as the dominant global hegemon, sustained by ideology rather than might, and now is just blowing it all up for literally no reason

This is so profoundly disturbing. Pull the plug on all ai not directly related to science and medicine.

"We Beat 'Em Before... (Portland's Version)" This idea came to me late. I think it fits really well since Portland Frog Brigade literally carries no weapons and yet ICE has no idea how to respond to them. Just feckless incompetent goons all around.

I came across this from that other place, written 12 days after J6 and two days before Trump was evicted and Biden took over. We are in the trouble we’re in because Trump was not held accountable for his crimes, particularly inciting a ldeadly insurrection. Accountability is key for our future.

Coalitions shall be built one toad at a time. May we play and plague 🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸

guys can we do frogs everywhere? please i need a frog uprising you know…before we croak we need a jump in activism a ribbit revolution vive les grenouilles libres!

There are very few “trends” I would care to revisit from 2020. I hope my justice-focused and confrontational friends can resist the bait of escalation. This is all the twisted distraction of a psychopath.

And in another chapter of “STILL WITH THIS FUCKING GUY?”

JFC

I got stung by a bee today. To be fair I was making a ruckus where it was trying to work.

*chef’s kiss*

“I will NOT yield to disrespectful men.”

Yeah this season of Arrested Development is the wildest one yet.

I can't emphasize enough that the most important thing journalists can do right now is publish exactly this kind of article

Three months? Or 84 years? WHAT IS TIME

Ugh this fucking guy AGAIN/STILL

I once dated a dude who confessed he got bilked out of like, $1500 bucks in Vegas because he and the stripper he really connected with were “just talking” in the champagne room and he didn’t realize the meter was running. I told him he shouldn’t tell that story on dates anymore.

The US, in a single image.

I don’t care if it’s petty but I get such a giggle every time @hcrichardson.bsky.social refers to DOGE as “doggy.” It’s the little bits of humor that are gonna keep my head above water.

The North remembers.

The masses are asses and here we are, going through a hasty coup, traveling at the speed of stupid.

Really would have thought ditching weed when I did would lead to “looks like I picked the wrong week to stop sniffing glue” anxiety, but it’s actually been the opposite. 3 weeks weed free My acorn is disintegrating and my tree is growing. No euphemism here 😂

If “malevolent incompetence” is a spectrum, on one end is the dudes from Office Space having to look up “laundering” in the dictionary. And the other end is the fresh hell we are currently steeped in.

I hope Dr. Fauci is living his best life someplace beautiful abroad, safe and sound. We never deserved him.

SUCH an important conversation right now. Our attention is commodity. How do you wanna spend it? Or BE spent? open.spotify.com/episode/2jLQ...

This was excellent, and further fuel for outrage. Thank you @ilyamarritz.bsky.social and Andrea Bernstein for the incredible work. open.spotify.com/show/2bCEVSr...

I’m so amused/bemused by the misuse of “American Exceptionalism.”
