actually this is still just so exactly it

i thought the constant democratic fundraising texts were bad, but now i'm getting fake democratic fundraising texts on a daily basis

this is probably unfortunately working so disgustingly well. "Democrats United, INC" "not authorized by any candidate" lol

unserious metric

never thought about this before but it makes sense: gen z doesn't know how to type www.rollingstone.com/music/music-...

My god I can’t recommend enough seeing a cybertruck in person. Picks up fingerprints in a disgusting brown color, front panel has no grill so it’s COATED in bugs. What a decrepit piece of shit car

She’s A Beast is having a spring sale! Support the publication from which the NYT Well section loves to steal its topics, only to cover them much later and worse www.shesabeast.co/banner

literally everyone that deals in the business side of book publishing sounds like they have a gambling problem www.elysian.press/p/no-one-buy...

they even have some kind of weird internal rehab

does anyone have any information on whether it's almost but not quite dinnertime

Just a dumb persons note, but they have to stop referring to Trumps criminal trial as a “hush money” trial. He falsified business records. Paying someone hush money wasn’t the illegal part

i've lived through many eras of the internet article headline tailored variously for SEO, cms length limit, coherence, curiosity gap, brevity, and more, and now i feel like i'm seeing all of these chronic diseases of optimization finally choke the format to its final death rattle

it's funny, to me personally, that the assault on Gaza indicates two things: the US is not a real world power since it is cowed by this tiny country of Israel, and Republicans are not real Americans because they are excited to do whatever this tiny country needs www.newyorker.com/news/q-and-a...

after thinking more, i imagine his brain went something like this: -gotta say something to this woman -can't say anything about her, to her -dog -here she comes pretty fast. most obvious trait. size -big or small -big or small -oh no. uh -well gotta pick one -"big" not enough. add "very"

the irony of bringing lifting to the people is that no matter what i do i'm going to have to hear lots and lots of people shoot their mouth off about things of which they know nothing

seems to me if you are shady enough to take a story down with no advance explanation or editorial note, you are shady enough to lie outright about the reasoning too defector.com/road-track-e...

i've been hoping Columbia would hit me up for a donation soon

extremely interesting though that reddit spam exploits very badly reddit's policy of leaving up content from deleted accounts

you thought reddit was safe, well, bad news:

it makes complete sense to me that bari weiss's audience appears to be composed mainly of guys who learned to code thenewinquiry.com/an-american-...
