ICE killing #AlexPretti should remind you of police killing #PhilandoCastille. Both men had concealed weapon permits, did not draw their guns, & were killed in Minn. These homicides are the price of unaccountable policing. These deaths are variations on the same fatal theme.

Got back to sleep and dreamed there was an obsessive Hamster Dance fandom and people called them the Hamster Damned

Helpful, thank you! I do have bipolar (II) so warning signs that I'm tipping into an unbalanced state one way or the other are really appreciated.

Honestly I'm angry at the people who were repeatedly warned that the murderers were going to do murders and needed to wait for the murders to happen before they got on board with doing anything about it. You're feckless and stupid, welcome to the side but shut the fuck up and stop trying to lead.

I don't know why I keep waking up between three thirty and four thirty but I must say I don't care for it. No sir I don't care for it one bit.

Awake! At the Four AM

God I hate that shit so much

Like I knew that but here people are just straight up posting about it.

I keep thinking about this. A lot of people really do think the goal is electing Democrats and not getting them to do anything, huh?

There are definitely things you can do! I don't know for you specifically but maybe making food? Providing emotional support? Passing out water? Making phone calls and coordinating/project management? Petsitting for people who are engaged in other actions? Don't feel like you have nothing to offer!

I saw a post saying something like "Republicans would love for us to focus on primarying Democrats who voted to fund ICE instead of flippable districts" but my goal isn't electing Democrats, it's abolishing ICE, and strategically it's probably easier to replace a shitty Democrat than a Republican.

I'm very sorry for your loss and my thoughts are with you and your family. I'm glad you got to have such a nice cat.

OK, People Who Are Used To This Sort Of Thing, the South is about to get a lot of snow and ice, try not to be giant dicks about it. They don't have the experience or infrastructure. Like imagine you lived in New Hampshire and there was suddenly a giant alligator in your swimming pool.

I'm going to become the Joker/had me in the first half, what a fucking disgrace and disappointment. Disgraceappointment.

My anxiety is so high I feel like I could vibrate through a wall, good times

The thing that pissed me off the most about that Pod S*mave America clip the other day was that they presented ‘that something needs to be done about the border’ as an indisputable fact that nobody could possibly disagree with.

🙋🏾
I disagree with it. I think it’s all imagined & perpetuated by bigots

A birthday cake with chocolate frosting and a lit candle, then a little hole, then another lit candle, then three more holes (it was my fortieth birthday)

At some point I got too old to fit the right number of candles on my birthday cake so now I do it in binary with candles and holes

A user on Metafilter claimed another user was making something up by saying "there are things I know, and people I know, and that didn't happen" and @mr-roarbert.bsky.social and I are constantly saying to each other "there are things I know, and people I know" when we think something didn't happen

If I wore rings acquiring this would be a matter of life or death for me

Ugh good point this is why I'll never be a true Poster

Well I mean obviously I'm not anyway

You are not immune to propaganda

Legit sounds like insecure seventh grade braggadocio

Sure you are buddy, you're twelve

Me, the world's most susceptible to advertising person, upon learning it's National Popcorn Day: hmmm maybe I should get some popcorn

It's absolutely wild to me that this guy didn't, at minimum, realize he's become a serious liability and stop talking

The China Inn in Pawtucket. They had the best hot and sour soup and incredible scallion pancakes.

An add for a law firm reads,”Whether you’re in the theater or being questioned by police, MJM Law Office reminds you to stay quiet.”

I’ll never get tired of this ad at our local indie theater 😂

I'm sleepy and I want to get cozy
