Great thread about a pizza called a Volcano Dipper. The suspense is building as we wait to see how it looks in real life and whether it causes strange symptoms, such as garlic breath, cosmic enlightenment, or fourth degree burns. Stay tuned!
Two young women just came in, each holding a baby. The little ones are quiet too. I'm flirting with them.
The Social Security office is spartan, even ugly. Dark grey floors, dirty white walls covered in signs. Worst thing is that we're all being glared at by a billionaire rapist wannabe dictator with dementia. His sidekick is smiling but his eyes are mean. The crowd is quiet, diverse, hopeful.
this is I think the key to the Trump magic
a lot of his audience knows that he’s bullshitting but - importantly - feels that they are in on it
GOP - *gerrymanders*
DEMS - hey stop that no fair
GOP - *gerrymanders even more*
DEMS - we mean it we’re gonna sue
SCOTUS - *legalizes gerrymandering completely*
DEMS - *start gerrymandering*
GOP - HEY STOP THAT NO FAIR!!!! 😭
"I was ABSOLUTELY told that the Democrats would be bringing knives to the gun fight. What the fuck are they doing bringing guns?" --a whole lot of Republicans looking at the results from Virginia right now
Another lovely timeline cleanse.
We need all the irises we can find.
BloomScrolling and timeline cleanse.
lol suck it.
It's beautiful.
Dear Target, Fuck you, fuck your racism, fuck your anti-LGBTQ posturing, fuck your nasty policies about customers with handicaps, and fuck your anti-fat bias. I used to enjoy shopping at Target. Now I refuse to set foot in the place. And did I mention fuck you?
what’s funny about this is that tarantino wrote this “ezekiel 25:17“ for the film. it isn‘t actually in the bible. publicwitness.wordandway.org/p/hegseth-bo...
Virtually no geology professors share the widespread view that the earth is 6,000 years old. It can only be bias.
A tweet quoting Senator Andy Kim criticizing being denied a briefing on the Iran war, with a video still of him speaking at a press conference alongside other officials.
It's so bad they won't even brief Congress.

A platform of “honesty, work, responsibility, and respect for others”? Doesn’t sound like anyone in the current high echelons of that party.

Hamilton on Broadway. Opened in 2015 and still running. Rise Up!
@kaydub.bsky.social, have you seen this?
I have yet to hear a non-racist reason anyone should care about "declining birth rates"
Ban this shit from your life.
Seriously. Boycott. And keep away from your kids.
Today is Tax Day for US citizens. I'm grateful for the benefits that federal, state, and local taxes bring me: clean water, passable roads, libraries, scientific research, and so much more. This year I'm especially grateful that I finished and submitted my tax forms a week ago.

babe, wake up, new form of mansplaining just dropped
What the actual—-? I don’t think VP Vance has any real idea about Catholic doctrine. Hint: the Pope gets to talk about theology. You get to listen.

Golden hazel witch
with her wooly mane
blossoms in late frost,
rekindles yellow flame.

No shade to the OP for admitting this, but it shocks me that people my age don’t know this.
You fundamentally cannot understand how the world functions, how power works, if you don’t know history.
This part exactly. We are currently repeating some of the worst moments in history and everyone keeps calling it unprecedented because history is poorly taught and we are making all the same terrible decisions with higher stakes
After you read the part of William S. Burroughs’s Naked Lunch from which Steely Dan takes their name, every Steely Dan song just seems a little different.
I don't know how to explain to the people who pop up when creatives complain about "AI" to say there are legit uses for it just how much they sound like someone saying "Well actually fire is used to make bread" when people are talking about an organized arson ring burning down their fucking houses
Today I’m grateful for the rain. We’ve had repeated cloudbursts, at least one with thunder and hail. Then sunshine until the next rain. We need the water, and for some of us (me) the thunder is a joy in itself.

Claire Willet:
"One of my favorite jokes on The West Wing is when Mrs. Landingham is telling Bartlett about redecorating the Oval Office and that he can have anything he wants from the entire Smithsonian collection and he's like "I want Apollo 11"..."
Me: NOBODY must tell this to Donald Trump.
