Incredibly true and incredibly reprehensible. Please remember how ready so many institutions are/were to accept authoritarianism in this country.

The dem vibe shift really lays bare how much every institution shifted right in preparation.

The key to the meme is instinctive feasibility. Slams about Bush being dumb landed because he seemed dumb, Clinton indeed was a slick cheater. Cracks about JD Vance fucking a couch land because when you look at the guy, you think "... yeah. That's a guy who looks like he could've fucked a couch."

this is where the other part of life in this world kicks in, and why I always try to temper my expectations, because gilead is slow pedaling approval for prevention vs treatment, and currently charging $40,000 a year for it instead of $40 it would be as a generic

The thing about "childless cat lady" is that it gets hurled about by men to shame women into doing things that are often against their own interests. Historically, and now, childless cat ladies are much more likely to be happy than married women with children. The patriarchy can't let that be known.

Vivian Jenna Wilson, Elon Musk's trans daughter, is absolutely torching him on Threads (yes, this is her, she confirmed with video). You absolutely love to see it, except for the fact that it's not happening on Bluesky.

Unconfirmed sources telling me AP pulled the article because JD Vance did, in fact, fuck a couch.

apnews.com/article/fact... THE AP HAS PULLED THE ARTICLE DENYING THAT JD VANCE FUCKED A COUCH. I REPEAT, THEY HAVE PULLED THE ARTICLE.
