If you are not feeling well, especially gastrointestinally, please go to your room instead of making life gross and difficult for others? This post is about #cvg2024

Dear Con Attendees. I know its been 10 years since the con has stressed it officially, but: Shower. Seriously. Damn. #cvg2024

Con nutrition tip: popcorn is a whole grain. #cvg2024

I know its ridiculous to tell people this, but the weather this evening is gorgeous. Leave the hotel and get outside #cvg2024 .

Extremely silly but also sincere: Dear UK Labour, please, take a lesson from the MN DFL who finally got into power and then instead of playing it safe went out and actually changed things. kthxbye

a thing to remember, in all of this horror, is that these are not the actions of a political party that is confident it represents the will of the people, and who is currently out of power and enslaved to a deeply flawed avatar. the struggle is not over and they have not won

I'm so old I remember navigating GOPHER menus by memory.

I'm so old I remember when Yahoo really did have an index of every site on the World Wide Web

Wilhoit’s Law: “Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition …There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.”

The Governor who oversaw the reversal of a referendum to restore felon voting rights and created a police force to ensure they could not vote has a different standard for one particular felons

Josh Hawley: i'm going to punch 100 kittens in the throat AOC: what the hell, we shouldn't be punching *any* kittens (Manchin and Romney co-sponsor the Punch 50 Kittens in the Throat Act of 2024) op-ed columnist: finally, reasonable compromise

Right, this is a good illustrator of the way Beltway narratives tend to conflate “the middle” with “moderation”

Most NYers have no idea that libraries in the city have no more Sunday service and that libraries will close for another day if the current budget goes through. A 60 million cut to libraries while Adams proses a 200 million police "training" campus. Please connect the dots and REFUSE this bullshit.

Remember folks, for every article that starts out "Millennials killed another beloved business" there is a paragraph somewhere 2/3rds of the way down that mentions, in passing, said company's recent acquisition by a venture capital or other such firm. EVERY. TIME.

Remember when the most important issue was civility in politics because restaurant workers politely decline to serve Sarah Sanders and now everyone targeted by Trump or his cronies needs private security and we don’t talk about civility much anymore www.nbcnews.com/politics/don...

Trump supporters try to doxx jurors and post violent threats after his convictionwww.nbcnews.com On social media and web forums, users called for jurors, judges and prosecutors to be killed after the former president was found guilty on 34 felony counts.

There is no justifying felons being disenfranchised if it’s also okay for felons to run for president.

I know people are saying he should get taken away from the courthouse in handcuffs straight to Rikkers, but have you considered that he could be taken the long way round through the streets of NYC so he has to see and hear the entire city celebrating?

Is it too much to hope that that thing happens where a narcissist is finally held accountable they totally snap and flame out so bad no one can deny their insanity?

Sex is great but have you ever watched an absolute sleezeball shitheel of a human being who has previously escaped punishment get rightfully convicted on 34 felony counts?

It wasn’t just one mistake that imploded RWA. It was a series of informed decisions.

Went looking for the Jezebel piece by Kelly Faircloth that laid out the whole RWA meltdown and will you look at the top three search results? The org’s racism was a known and long-running problem that a lot of people tried to address over decades.

Let's not get twisted. The fault is not on Courtney. The RWA had multiple chances since 2019 to course correct. And what we got genocide romances being nominated for the Vivians (you know the award named after a BLACK WOMAN). We got gross incompetence from the board. This is all on them!

Jeezus, that whole second post. Isn't the whole point to teach our kids to build a world where we CAN depend on other people and we WILL care about helping others succeed?

To see my primary doctor, I have to schedule 6 months in advance. The office only schedules out six months. So yes, I have to call in the morning as soon as they open exactly 6 months from the day I want my appointment in order to get one.
