Cybertruck stories are amazing because they’re all like “my truck spontaneously broke after I drove it ten miles I hope I don’t have to pay a lot of money to fix it.”

You: my cat knocked my vase off the windowsill. Your Cat: I exist to remind you that you ultimately control nothing in Nature. Entropy dissolves from all directions including the interior. Even your own body will be peeled from you. You will die-- but you will watch your favourite vase die first.

Any Democrat in these states who doesn’t lean on this hard shouldn’t be in office. It’s a gift.

The opting out is especially wild Like, Republican governors are being actively presented with money to feed kids and affirmatively saying 'I would like children to starve actually' (Also, if I'm a Dem campaigner, I'm making some ads and placing some op eds about this immediately)

I know a lot of people are struggling with revelations about an author they like, but personally, even as an art critic, when somebody has been accused of being monstrous, the discussion of “how do I resolve the fact that I love his art” is a spectacularly uninteresting one to me.

Fight against daunting odds, because it’s the right thing to do, and because sometimes you win.

BREAKING NEWS: Voters turned out in numbers not seen in decades to stop the far-right National Rally from taking power in the French National Assembly. Polls predicted a first-place finish for National Rally, which instead came in third in initial results as polling stations closed.

The most important thing about the election in France is that I once went to France and ate McDonalds and they had cranberry sauce for the McNuggets

Most pundits thought Le Pen and her far-right coalition would take over today. The polls just closed in France, and it’s clear they were soundly beat. It’s almost like the pundit class does a lot of talking out of their ass.

This was always true. This has always been true for every marginalized community in every single only these “advanced democracies.” Welcome to the world your privilege has shielded you from. This is life outside the cave.

How do we adjust to a world where major democracies have long-term viable fascist parties? It feels like we'll just be having existential election after existential election, and we have to win every time whereas they only have to win once.

Just a reminder that Michelle Wolf nailed it at the White House Correspondents Dinner. NYT, I’m looking in your direction especially.

We lost Bess (grey + white) a few days ago--old age and kidney failure. Her nephew Lil' Man used to snuggle with her every day. He's been looking for her around the house for days. Breaks my heart.

I like Wikipedia description of David Duke. The last bit feels at home with the rest. "White supremacist, antisemitic conspiracy theorist, former grand wizard of the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, member of the Republican Party."

it feels weird to say "I've been transitioning for three years and x months" because while that might be when I decided there was no going back and committed for good, I had known for years and just wasn't in a position to act on it. but in the years leading up to that, I was still taking steps

Social media has brought me death threats, a lawsuit and a campaign to have me fired from my job. If you’re popping in to call me a “stupid cunt,” I’m only going to notice long enough to block you and improve my timeline. But have at it.

I shamelessly over-posted my sweet boy on the other platform. But now that I have seen so many cat pictures here on Bluesky, I feel even *less* hesitant to post Mo all over the Internet.😅

Philly Inquirer continue to keep it legit. Biden is being held to a standard that Trump isn't. Fuck you all.

NYT: Joe should quit, he stutters Philly Inquirer: Trump is a fucking criminal what the fuck are we doing here

The lingering focus on Biden’s shaky debate obscures Trump’s major verbal miscues | Editorialwww.inquirer.com The president must now convince voters he has the mental acuity to do the toughest job in the world. The same bar does not exist for Trump, who loses no points for incoherence or incompetence.
