And now we know why we’re having a heat dome event: that thing and its human accessories are so anti-cool they destroy cool just by existing.

Am I cooler than the least cool thing imaginable? Yeah, probably.

“They want to eliminate national parks” is a very simple way to get just about anyone on the Stop Project 2025 train. Are there much more glaring and life-threatening goals of P25? Yes but even your most bigoted cousin does not want to see the parks system sold for parts.

This!! Start with “they want to end no fault divorce, sell national parks, and ban porn” end with tax structure.

I did think about this, and I have real picks, but my brain initially kicked out Panic! At the Disco, either LA Devotee or Don’t Threaten Me With a Good Time as actually honest about the chaotic nature of the open air Thunderdome we call a nation. They may not get enough radio play to qualify, tho

You have to pick a new national anthem for the US, but it has to be a song that plays at least once a week on your city's equivalent of Jack-FM (a sort of all-purpose "top 40 from 1970 to 2010" station, skewing rock but not averse to pop/R&B/etc.).

"I don't know anything about Project 2025" says man recording Project 2025 promotional video in front of Project 2025 publication. More substantively, Project 2025 has embraced Trump and Miller's immigration approach of using power to close both legal and illegal immigration.

What way too many people are failing to understand is that this isn't REALLY about Biden's age & well-being; it's about the media being desperate to come up with something, anything!, to keep the focus away from the GOP's direct attack on our democracy. They don't want *that* to be the story.

Stephen Miller now following Trump's lead and saying he has nothing to do with Project 2025. 1. His organization is on the Project 2025 advisory board. 2. He recorded a video as part of Project 2025 training tools 3. You can see Mandate for Leadership, the Project 2025 publication in the background

One day we will learn to distinguish between "technical skills" and "using technology" but it is not this day

My son's grade school has a "tech literacy" class that taught the kids to look things up on google and chatgpt.

every day of my life I think about Kathy Griffin getting blacklisted for joking about the death of a man who openly, gleefully, not at ALL jokingly wishes for the deaths of people who disagree with him to the point that his stans BUILT A GALLOWS FOR HIS VICE PRESIDENT, AGAIN, NOT AS A JOKE

Side note, covid or not, I'm never going to another con unmasked again. I can't believe I just accepted getting sick *every time.* I was just letting all those people breathe into my mouth.

Except google now defaults to plastering their AI results right at the top, so Google isn't understandable anymore. That and SEO and personalized algorithms have been a massive problem for even longer.

OMG, yes, I am a CRONE, sweeties, I promise I'm okay with whatever the bbs think of my clothes. Yes, please darlings, mock us, for hopefully you too will one day be old. And someday you will know better.

Some Millennials in my timeline are insecure because Gen Zs are telling them their ankle socks age them. I can't stress enough that you don't need to care about what a bunch of 20-somethings think about your clothes, mainly bc you don't have to care about what ANYONE thinks about your clothes.

Biden’s bad debate is no longer new. Trump’s refusal of a freebie prime time ABC interview is new and uncharacteristic. Why is Trump’s campaign hiding him? How is Trump scrambling to cope with a promised Biden resurgence? Can Trump regain media attention when all eyeballs are on Biden?

Oh, and ABORTION. The Dem/Biden commercials are hammering on that, as well

Here in sudden swing state Georgia, at least, Dem PACs (and the Biden campaign itself) ARE doing that. I've been seeing a LOT of DICTATOR/FELON/RAPIST/SCAMMER commercials. GOP PACs are only just now reacting with INFLATION ad buys

Hair. Yes, that mirror is dusty. It’s a 50-50 mix of Arctic Fox Wrath and Ritual, over bleached, (7 vol BlondeMe developer with BlondeMe bleach; it’s gentle on hair) which only gets bleached about once every 6 months. Can touch up roots for about 6 months. Wrath and Ritual together fade to pink.

And take a look at this neon rainbow colorway. It's even got some fuschia in there along with indigo blended in-between the cyan and purple. Will look gorgeous with black. This is called "Rainbow Magi". 8/

I do captioning for a living, & a big part of my job is cleaning up false starts & filler words. That has always been the norm at every media outlet. Print media edits Trump so carefully that you would never know what he actually sounds like. Doing this to Biden is a 180 from decades of policy.

Now everyone--The Times and, sorry to say, MSNBC--is noting every missed syllable. The man has a stutter. I don't stutter but I am a mushmouth who speaks too fast and slurs words. I've had to overcome fear of public speaking. I have empathy for Biden. The press has empathy for no one (but Trump).

Whereas I, a bookseller for an independent bookstore, am thinking of camping out at the store for the next three days because it has air conditioning. There is a difference. Where you shop matters. A LOT.

Happy #primeweek! I just want to let y’all know that the Amazon shipping warehouse where my husband works is denying workers fans during a nationally recognized heat emergency and everything you order during time week places workers’ lives at risk.

Trust a Gen Xer: you will wear what you feel comfortable in, which will often be what you wore as a young person, which will often be tied to that period's fashion. But by a certain age you will not be interested in the vagaries of contemporary fashion. It's fine. We will all go through this.
