This is getting hilarious

School play gets canceled for "inappropriate content". In response students write [REDACTED], their own anti-censorship play skewering the school district, sells out performances, and ultimately takes gold at the Lenaea High School Theatre Festival. www.kqed.org/arts/1397192...

I am a former incarcerated firefighter. I served in a California fire camp from 2009 to 2012. Misinformation is afire on the internet, so here are facts about the prison firefighter program, all in one place. A thread.

I'm uncomfortable with the inevitable "his work was always crap" because it seems to say "you can tell who the predators are by how well they write" and ... no no you absolutely cannot, that's the whole point.

Wow on some level I noticed that something in her campaign changed but now it’s so clear. This was a huge mistake. The beginning of the campaign was invigorating and felt like they were finally playing the game. Her concession speech was a completely different tone and did feel a little saccharine.

This is so Irvine. Reminded me to dig up this truly unhinged true crime story. It truly has everything - a crazed “gone girl” like OC Housewife turned mystery writer (!!), drugs, sex, and that’s just the beginning. www.latimes.com/projects/la-...

if you can't vote for the lesser evil if you can't vote for your own survival if you can't vote for the second Black and first female President if you can't vote for the candidate who will objectively harm people in Gaza the least vote for Elon Musk to suffer

I like the old line about libertarians being equivalent to house cats: convinced of their total independence while being entirely dependent on a system they do not either appreciate or comprehend

Politifact: "it's false to say the material is flammable. it's inflammable."

Is this app better than threads? Can one of our tech overlords get this act together?

These people cannot have actually seen Poor Things and come away thinking it was on fucking Duncan’s side. Right?? Right?!

TBF, it does have Con in the title

uhh hey so how did that whole flying thing work out for Icarus

Someone else already did this in the comments but it’s deeply funny to me how true this is, as literally shown by asking Chat-GPT what the poem is about.

Fuck yes!!!

I will never not repost Adele Dazeem content.

WHO LIVES IN A PINEAPPLE UNDER THE SEA—

sorry I’m advance for anyone who reads this 😖

Do you guys ever think about how having SCOTUS Justices who think they’re above the law — and a congress that won’t do anything about it, like by passing SCOTUS ethics reforms — is bad for a constitutional democracy?

This is my second favorite pop culture event ever, right behind Adele Dazeem.

Yeah autocorrect that's perfect. Thank you.

I don’t know if they’ve since been fixed, but at sone point someone graffiti’ed over the 3rd/4th st signs so it was literally impossible to know which way to go. I’ve cried over this sign before.

Please don’t shame people for buying second-tier and filler candy for Halloween. If kids don’t get to experience the full range of options, how will they professionally rank candy for October podcasts and think pieces when they grow up?

Love this call out. There’s some nuance to it imo, depending on the show and the producers, but reality tv is pretty real you guys! I swear!

This means that California will not only get a Black woman Senator but also its first openly lesbian Senator. Laphonza will be the second lesbian to serve in the Senate. I have known Laphonza for many years and she is exactly the right person to take care of this seat.

Editor: You get those photos of Elliott Gould and Grover? Photographer: Sure did boss, real fuckin sexy just like you asked. Editor: what

It’s creepy and it’s kooky Mysterious and spooky It’s all together ooky The beach that makes you old

It’s so hard not to dip a toe back into twit every so often because it always results in wonderful interactions I will treasure forever

I think this is my brand now

Conservatives pretend to care about sex trafficking and child abuse primarily to fuel fantasies of retribution against societal others. As soon as these issues touch a person they like or a powerful institution, they hand-wave it away. They do not give a shit about actual kids.
