The "half your age plus seven" rule for maximum age disparity means that upon turning 46, one can no longer date anyone in their 20s, fair enough. But upon turning 47, one becomes allowed to date people in their 80s. This single realisation has made my hair fall out.

Seeing You Can See Everything as a neurodivergent*, feminist, anticapitalist, prison abolitionist who studied theatre for 9 years was really something. And on a Friday night**! *Not...as neurodivergent as Nathan or Liz **Friday night audiences laugh more.

This is why we'll never have 4-day work weeks: lots and lots and lots of men don't actually like their families.

My wife thinks it takes me a hour to get to work and back, I work from home and have my laptop set up at my mates house round the corner from me

My company allows me to work from home 100% but I've told my wife that I am required to be in the office 2-3 times per week, just so I can meet my mates for a pint at lunchtime and/or after work.

So when Luigi was arrested, he gave a fake name at first. Then, when the cops were like "what's your real name," he said "Luigi." They must have thought he was bullshitting again. Anyway, ACAB

Wouldn't it be funny if my neighbors heard my headboard knocking the wall & thought I was having sex but really I was in bed sobbing really hard?! Now That's Irony!

If voting changed anything they'd make it illegal, AND if it changed nothing they wouldn't work so hard to thwart marginalized people from doing it (historically & currently). That's it, that's my take.

I think we should all abolish "nice guy" from our vocabularies. I think a lot of men are viewed as nice just because they are nice _compared to other men._ As we know, the bar for men is in Satan's basement. Therefore: start comparing men to all PEOPLE, not just all other men.

He bought Twitter, Bezos bought WaPo—these aren't coincidences, & it's not tinfoil-hatty to name this!

Ex-boss filed a $12 theft charge against an ex-employee because she got a restraining order in response to his creepy behavior. Charge was never prosecuted, but it gave ICE an excuse to arrest and detain her. Congratulations to the 58 Democrats who voted for the Laken Riley Act. You own this.

I can't stand it anymore. If I look up how to do a thing on a website or in some software & it says "go to [word]" & [word] isn't there, I'm going to McFreakin lose it. I can't take 40 more years of this, man.

I need someone to give me room to write about this moment in anti Muslim hate because there’s a reason Nidal Hassan is who is being killed by live firing squad. And it’s the same reason Ilhans house was raided.

“When you stand in front of me and look at me, what do you know of the griefs that are in me and what do I know of yours?”

Having a lot of love & gratitude in my heart today, which is nice cos recently I've had these "I hate literally everyone including myself" feels

But I also deffo feel weird &—stop reading if you hate astrology—it's probably this intense Libra new moon during Venus retrograde in my rising sign on the 10/10/10 portal day...whewww

This is just a fucking carjacking. How the hell was he supposed to know it was a state sponsored carjacking. what the fuck are we doing here.

The NYPD just released surveillance video of the ICE shooting (which occurred off camera). Two men in civilian clothes run up to a car with guns drawn. One second later, one man begins smashing the butt of his gun into the driver’s side window. The driver appears to panic and hit the gas.

raise revenue and undercut right-populism with One Weird Trick (capitalists HATE this)

New working paper: the Norwegian wealth tax was a huge success. The "exodus" of wealthy people never happened (less than 100 individuals left). Tax revenue increased by 71.5%. No changes in business activity or investment. www.nber.org/papers/w35854
