I'm a writer who is also a big fan of storytelling in all its forms. Bisexual lady who can't drive and finds chairs awkward so sorry about the stereotype.

This is a big reason why I don't like going out late. Maybe you get home and go to bed. I get home and still have to do all my unwinding, be alone, read or watch tv or whatever, for like two hours before I can go to sleep.

I'm not sure how much more blatant it can get that these guys are looting the federal government and then pointing over there and saying "look what THOSE BLACK PEOPLE ARE GETTING AWAY WITH!!!" bsky.app/profile/atru...
Stephen Miller claims Somali-Americans in Minnesota are "buying Mercedes, buying BMWs, they buy a nice house, all their kids fly first class all over the world" (This is a lie!)

BUT THE DANGEROUS LEFTIST RHETORIC, GUYS! Such as repeating words people actually said or describing their actions or reading their policies. Very heated, very dangerous. This, however, totally fucking fine
Trump on El-Sayed: "His name is actually Abduladadalalalala. It's Adulbabababababa Mohammed Al-Sayed. So his middle name is Mohammed. So I was right. He's a jihadist."

Cannot wait to hear Republicans who have completely reversed their entire belief system for this chud try to explain why, no, that actually didn't happen and now that a democrat is in the White House we are very concerned about the Constitution again.
Trump: "I didn't go to Congress. Remember Sleepy Joe? 'Oh, if they would give me approval in Congress!' You're not gonna get approval. You just do it. You're the president."

It feels like one of the tenets of the MAGA movement is you always have to act like you're the dumbest motherfucker alive. JD Vance has a degree in political science and philosophy from Ohio State. He has a law degree from Yale. He absolutely knows what socialism is, but he has to do this act.
Q: How do you define socialism personally? JD VANCE: I think in reality what it actually means in the American context is you want to replace American workers with foreigners workers, and you want boys to play in girls' sports

"I don’t know what every person in that group saw or knew. But I am raising one of the others. The boy who might someday be in the room. Or holding the phone. The boy who didn’t do it. The boy who could therefore spend the rest of his life explaining that he didn’t do anything." buff.ly/z7yWbR2

The fraternity brothers in the group chat who cheer violence? That behavior is being modeled by the president of this country. I cannot stress this enough — Trump is teaching young men how to be abusive every time he opens his mouth.
Trump: "We've gonna shove it up their ass ... They are a bunch of dumb son of a bitches" Remember when presidents had dignity? Here's a lowlight supercut from Trump's rally tonight in Ohio:

Trump and Ronny Jackson have a chuckle about the botched execution in Tennessee: "The medication didn't exactly work. He [Jackson] would answer it better than anybody. How does that happen? It shouldn't be very difficult."

I am a 911 dispatcher in Canada and we are going through the exact same problems. Especially in government centres, pay is not keeping up, retention is low, centres are critically short staffed. Burnout, PTSD, depression, anxiety. And they refuse to classify us a first responders.
People often dial 911 in dire situations, fearing for their own lives or someone else's. Being quickly connected to a dispatcher can be a matter of life or death. But across the country, callers are being placed on hold. Why? @byardduncan.bsky.social and @typeinvestigations.org investigated.

"White men aren't winning awards and when they are it's specifically because they're putting aside their whiteness for wokeness." Must be so tiring to view the entire world through this lens. There's also no arguing with someone that thinks this way because they have an out no matter what.

@greggrosenthal.bsky.social I'd there a written list of QB Island anywhere? I cannot find it for the life of me, even in the pod transcription
Nothing makes more crazy than "we all have the same 24 hours." No. We do not. People with money have childcare, accountants, landscapers, house keepers, cars, personal trainers, then maybe personal shoppers, chefs, drivers. All things that give you time in exchange for money.

Not only did I meet Robert Kraft, I worked for him. His kid Jonathan asked me to “remove the black music” from my gameday playlist in ‘94 & I refused so they fired me. I was the cheerleader director at the time.  I sued them for wrongful termination and won. So yes, I know that motherfucker. 
Did you ever meet Bob Kraft?
