You can't scare me. I've lived through the rise and fall of Friendster, Hotline, LiveJournal, Xanga, and the bird app.

This book is an absurdly adorable accounting of the plot of Alien. They had no right making this horror story so cute. 😭

I had all the books at one time. I got in trouble for bringing one to school. 😈

'Life in Hell' was GOAT'ed

OK, now that it's 85 in the living room (which I'm working from), I guess I'll turn the AC on

It is popular to say “listen to Black women” in this very fetishizing way that treats Black women as some kind of magical fortune teller. And yet many of the people who treat that phrase as a mantra won’t treat Black people as the experts on their own lives. Very telling!

this shocked me - not that the widow didn't want to talk to Biden, but that no one around Trump told him it'd look much better if he called the widow of his supporter who was killed by a bullet meant for him.

President Biden tried to call the widow; she wouldn't talk to him. Trump didn't bother. www.cnn.com/2024/07/14/p...

And it's worth remembering that loads of loser pundits were CERTAIN the Ds would get destroyed in the last midterms. And... we did not! It's July. The election is in November. Think of how many different things have happened in just the last two weeks. There's an ETERNITY of time left. Let's use it.

JD Vance is particularly odious to me because we’re roughly the same age and from the same part of Ohio and I grew up with a hundred pasty, squishy faced white dudes like him & they’re all convinced they’re marginalized because you can’t smoke at Waffle House or say the n-word anymore

I think it was smart of Trump (a shitty guy many people like) to balance out his ticket with J.D. Vance (a shitty guy nobody likes).

I never provided context for this: We were both seeing Cats downtown. (Well, he was a guest judge.) Ballroom Cats is incredible. It's bawdy, it's earnest, it's so special. Go see it especially if you qualify for any of the discounts because whoo boy did they jack up the prices for the extension!

If only I could tell 1996 me that 2024 me would one day be in a unisex restroom line with Anthony Rapp and that I would tell him I enjoyed his performance in a Star Trek series

I’m an actual pacifist. I want all guns banned. I just need the left to do less “violence is bad even when it happens to Trump” and more “this is the world Trump wants the rest of us to live in.”

Honestly, not sure which part would surprise me more. New Star Trek series?!

Two weeks ago y’all were convinced the debate was the ball game. Today happened. After all that, we are still more than three months from the election. No one knows anything. Maybe take this time as an opportunity to relax.

Also folks seem to not understand that if Bouie stops working for the NYT, his spot will be filled with someone else, NYT will lose essentially no subscribers, and the number of people hearing what he has to say rather than his replacement will fall by about 10 million people.

32 when I have barely more than 150 followers. LOL

It’s definitely a pattern, and one everyone on this app needs to think long and hard about before it’s too late.

Wait, the same people who bullied Tressie off of this site have now set their sights on Jamelle Bouie?? As ever, they are so much closer to MAGA than they realize.

Some of you who were writing "Trump and Hillary" in 2015 are writing "Trump and Kamala" today and you know you can use last names for lady politicians too

All I can think about right now are the crawfish shells I'm simmering for stock.

I call my son my brother's name ALL THE TIME. I am 45. I do not, as far as I know, have cognitive issues. I mix up my son+ husband's name 5x a day (they are so, so much alike). I regularly stumble when I lecture and I am an excellent+ professionally trained public speaker. Y'all are ableist AF.

It was so almost-nice today that I didn't even turn on the AC until an hour ago! (Because I was in a small room with a window I can't open. And I still have covid.)

Related to this, I had a conversation recently about how when we got taught about the Japanese internment during WWII in school we definitely never had it pointed out that the people running those camps were our (collective our, not individual) grandparents.

Just to be clear, that 40-45% of voters are 90% white. The refusal to accept that as a fact is why we are where we are right now. It really do be your own people.

Not to mention you are doing exactly what the right wing assholes want you to do. There is a 900 page manifesto being championed by a terrible, evil man, and you’re…calling the president the r word. Real champions of progressivism, you.

Sorry, I know Tim Ryan doesn't matter, but this one is too funny

Asian Americans call out Rep. Tim Ryan for airing ad that's 'rife with Sinophobia'www.nbcnews.com “Creating a villainous country and claiming that that’s the reason why Ohio has lost manufacturing jobs — not only is that bad policy, it’s racist,” one advocate said.
