I feel like it could work if it can be automatically set to alert your meanest friend if you text your ex 😂

Yet again I remind everyone (as Elizabeth does in her very next tweet) that "foreigners are corrupting our pure blood with weakness & disease" is Fascism 101. Not some variant, not some metaphorically similar thing, not some echo -- the thing itself.

I…no

I don’t want Columbus to have anything to be fair

Ah I see you’re taking the Paranoia Drug, would you like to consume it via surveillance technology?

Counterpoint: I use em dashes with abandon and will not let "AI" steal them from me. I was overusing them first and will continue to do so long after "AI" is a crater in our financial system, or our merciless overlords, or both

We want it all

We're on strike! Don't visit propublica.org on April 8

We’re on strike today! Support our fight for a fair contract by NOT visiting the @propublica.org website or engaging with ProPublica stories today.

Tell ProPublica’s management you won’t cross the picket line: actionnetwork.org/petitions/te...

I don’t think anyone can spend that much time on the internet and *not* do a right wing heel turn, which I’ve been betting on Taylor doing for a while now. Also keep in mind she’s concurrently steaming her brain in what is basically a terrarium

Don’t dare say “Donald Trump suffers” in a headline unless it’s followed by “a massive and fatal heart attack” you can’t get my hopes up like this

I hate it!!

(Also for people who are like “but what about my cargo” my boyfriend plays the upright bass and can fit it in my Subaru Impreza. I once moved a bed frame in a 2010 Ford Focus. Rent a pickup from Home Depot once a year and you’ll be fine.)

The Republicans don’t want to get rid of the electoral college for obvious reasons and the Democrats don’t want to get rid of the electoral college because then they’d have to fire their consultants (aka each other)

Yes!! And with it the disease everyone seems to have where they think land=people.

Planned Parenthood kinda sucks

If you’re really in the business of winning elections, maybe stop doing the moderate thing that has been LOSING elections repeatedly in the Midwest. The Ohio Democratic Party could give you a long list of tips as they have perfected this strategy!!

Assuming that the “heartland” is a monolith (and also not as progressive as the coasts) is very coastal behavior btw!! It’s the same as everywhere else—rural and suburban areas are more conservative, urban areas are more liberal, and *most people* have wildly inconsistent politics and don’t vote

If you want to keep pursuing the completely failed Dem strategy of trying to get hardcore Midwestern Republicans to vote for you, go nuts. But I promise that if you actually, I dunno, did work that benefits people you could at least get a lot of fed-up Dems and nonvoters to actually take an interest

What she’s really comparing is left-leaning people and right-leaning people and using “coasts” and “middle” as proxies. Of course they don’t want the same shit.

Yeah. This was always going to be the corner they painted themselves into, but it's still a horror movie experience seeing them fully embrace it.

I am a very slow runner so I feel like I’m allowed to judge the people in my slow running group who got Alphaflys

It’s like watching people who live in the suburbs and never haul anything buying trucks, baby I know it feels cool but it’s just not for you

“Not ProPublica!!!”

I got news for you, guys, the bosses are bad everywhere. Nonprofit news is not only not an exception, it’s actually worse in a lot of ways

Support reproductive rights and justice reporting that's edited, fact checked, and worker-owned!!

My favorite COVID dead-ender grifter who I like to check on from time to time is now insisting that the reason we’re seeing so many obviously malnourished, dangerously thin celebrities is—you guessed it—COVID!

Never disappoints.

Screenshot of a text conversation: Hi Colleen This is Evan from HousePrep. I'm reaching out because we've been doing some work around Cleveland lately and thought it might be worth connecting for [redacted] Let me know if you'd like to chat. Reply "Discontinue" to opt out. Yeah l'Il sell it for 3 million dollars I understand, maybe you have any other property for which you would like to receive an offer? Nope just 3 million for the house on [redacted] please Ok no worries, if you know anyone else, I can pay you 1 K for referring me. I'll refer you to my butt

Instead of ignoring the parasites who try to buy up houses in Cleveland, I’ve started telling them I do have a price in mind.

What do I have to do to somehow erase my name, number, and email from everyone’s VAN forever

I will make a deal with the devil (Bonterra?) just stop texting me lib nonsense

democrats should internalize that this is what their colleagues think of them and act accordingly

Yeah like bro at least change up your lighting or whatever so it’s not exactly the same look

The science doesn’t seem so settled after all, and it’s important to understand what happened here. The approach of left-of-center Americans and our institutions — to assume that when a scientific organization releases a “policy statement” on a hot-button issue, that the policy statement must be accurate — is a deeply naïve understanding of science, human nature and politics, and how they intersect. At a time when more and more Americans are turning away from expert authority in favor of YouTube quacks and their ilk — and when our own government is pushing scientifically baseless policies on childhood vaccination and climate change — it’s vital that the organizations that represent mainstream science be open, honest and transparent about politically charged issues. If they aren’t, there’s simply no good reason to trust them.

This is anti-vaxx logic. It is not "naive" to accept the conclusions of experts in technical fields.
