I’m creating a budget plan for swag at work, and I spell tumbler as “tumblr” every time, and that’s how I know I’m too online and have been for decades.

Bye, bitch!

These may be the two most critical images from the latest killing by CBP in Minneapolis.

Sadly, it’s going to take celebrities and athletes — not politicians or journalists — calling this out to make any real difference. The political divide and distrust in news sources puts people like Barkley in a position to actually change minds when “authorities” have lost that power.

I have no idea what this means but yes

It is possible the internet is too reliant on AWS.

It is now space heater under the desk season, which means it is fighting hard against a nap season while working, as well.

My husband: We can finish watching ‘Let It Be.’
My 8 y.o.: How about ‘Let It Be Over’?

lol

My former boss. And the reason I quit that company in 2011 and moved away from Manhattan and back to San Francisco (without a job lined up!). Chickens, roost, etc.

😭 that’s why I can’t believe I was expected to just go back to work this afternoon. That they didn’t let me know WHAT I’d be asked to do today.

Maybe because they have never had one. IDK. It wasn't even the doctor. It was the nurse practitioner. They weren't even going to give me a real MD. 😩

I will not be cramping, shaking, crying, and throwing up from horrendous pain unnecessarily. NO MA'AM.

I asked if this would be as painful as IUD insertion, and they said yes, but quicker. WE ARE NOT DOING THIS IN 2025. Why are we letting women go through this horrendous pain without aid? I am fucking livid. And if she won't sedate me, I will find a doc who will. Even if I have to pay out of pocket.

So, I've asked for sedation, whether that be general anesthesia or twilight sedation, but I will be DAMNED if I lay there and let them scrape the inside of my uterus with nothing by a couple of Tylenol in my system. Not when men are offered twilight sedation for a colonoscopy (and women, too, ofc)

I cried in the car thinking I must be a real wimp. Until I get home and do some reading to learn that women PASS OUT. They THROW UP. And if they are in menopause, as I am, it often fails and they have to repeat. The procedure was described as "horrific," "traumatizing," and "excruciating."

OBGYN tried to spring a uterine biopsy on me today at an appt. No advanced warning. No advice to take pain medicine beforehand. No offer for prescription strength pain management. The little cup of ibuprofen only came out after I was visibly shaken. I ultimately decided to defer until after sono.

I changed my ChatGPT settings asking it to be skeptical and to the point. This is from the first response since making that edit. She is such a try-hard.

Oh, wow. Your mind must be reeling.

What has become of us?

All I can think about are those girls. Same age as my daughter. It is devastating to even imagine what their parents are going through. 💔

CNN.com’s subscriber-only content has NO WAY to back out to the main channel page. You literally have to close the tab. I’m sure their advertisers love that.

Of course.

screenshot of a Facebook post by Corey Robin, which says: "By the way, did you all notice how Zohran made affordability a central issue of his campaign without selling out trans kids or shitting on immigrants? Might be some lessons there. Just a thought."

he's right and he's right to say it

I’m so proud of NYC.

raw doggin'

It was a great video

the wall street journal is indisputably evil as an institution but i have to give it to their youtube channel. yes i absolutely want to see the chili's CEO break down how they turned the business around by simplifying the chicken crispers breading process

In 2009, I watched as Gavin Newsom preened around like a peacock when he knew the cameras from KPIX were on him, enamored with the smell of his own bullshit. I knew it then, and I know it now: he is not a serious person.
