Not as sad, but I saw a "heartwarming" video recently where a dying father held a fake wedding for his young daughter (10) so he could walk her down the aisle. really?! maybe he could've lived forever and never seen her wedding because that's not something she would want as an adult!
The only IRA i want to deal with is the kind that kills British people
“just pick up the phone and make a call!” great I’ve been on hold for 2 hours and have spoken to no one, can someone please send me a way to do this electronically?
will we have 20 to 30% unemployment in 2-5 years? Maybe! Anything’s possible in trump’s america! will it be because of the glorious labor saving advances of AI? no, don’t be stupid
Sorry but I will never submit to the idea that humans are cruel.
I’ve had many cruel things happen to me but overall my entire life is a result of persistent & unyielding kindness.
i think what’s happening is that history actually happens like 20 times, first as tragedy, the next subsequent times becoming more and more farcical. we’ve been firmly in the forever degrading farce since at least the Regan administration
2 dollar acct
Can I please have help
• eating
• I have to take the cat to the vet tomorrow because she’s sick and digestive issues
• not being homeless in 10 days
it’s fine now, we finally moved and now we rent a nice house with a yard with six of our friends
this is me with Tanny except the cage was the studio apartment we lived in alone for years slowly turning each other insane
Palantir are about six months away from ordering their employees to leave audio logs scattered around their offices
“properly” just means “don’t have so much shit that it’s distressing you. get rid of the stuff that’s stressing you out”
I've been thinking about the backlash Marie Kondo got and I think part of it was not just that she was saying "buy less shit" she was explicitly say "only buy what actually makes you happy" and in a nation of conspicuous consumption it pissed people off.
though she did try to name me Majorie (Margie for short)….in 1994…….thankfully my dad vetoed that name
oh nooooooooooooooooo 😂 that’s why my mom always said you should test out baby names on a group of local fifth graders and tell them to go nuts. If they think of something catchy, DONT USE THAT NAME
everyone wants to be a part of the counter culture when it’s already cool. no one wants to be a part of the counter culture when it’s people putting soap in their hair and shit. yet you’ll all claim to have “been there” later…
i do feel like we're headed for a realm of bigger counterculture driven by internet weirdo furries and queer/trans people that many of the establishment, even the more normie left-wing flanks, won't know what to do with. if you're uncomfortable with that stuff, now's the time to work through that.
dune enjoyers, has anyone theorized that spice is just microscopic fungal spores in the sand?
no they just read Marxs and watch news. all things were clear to those who listen………..
i hadn’t heard the strokes olivius before. good song
to be clear the black lodge is the shit i fuck with
trying to get my sister to watch Twin Peaks and i find myself uttering horrific sentences like "it's Riverdale if Riverdale was actually good" or "it's innovative because it's men suggesting that the patriarchy might be evil" because i know i won't get her ass with "there's this dancing dwarf"
Many sex workers are living in shelters or on the streets already. Alive with enough money to feed yourself is better than starving to death.
A lot of feminists push for the criminalization of sex work & the destruction of digital spaces for sex workers to post ads + screen clients. This essay shows you one outcome of that: a marketplace that favors the clients over the providers by every conceivable metric by cultivating whorephobia.
I actually think that without it there would be a good chance we'd have had Trump back to back. I don't know what that would mean for that universe's 2026 though. Telling the opposition party to stand down is giving in to fascism, though, and acting like they could is idiotic
I know the race wasn't exactly a landslide, but the fact remains that Biden won by a clear margin. The early pandemic was just about the only thing in YEARS that actually meaningfully impacted every single person in the country negatively, including the wealthy. It was a once-in-a-lifetime fluke!
Any analysis of 2020 that doesn't begin with "I know we all tried to forget about this, but the mass graves were filling up, we were spraying hand sanitizer on Amazon packages" is missing why Biden won. Covid was horrible. People wanted anyone else in charge. The Dems couldn't lose if they wanted to
MYTH: The long-term effects of these drugs haven’t been thoroughly studied. FACT: Tamara’s wedding is in two months.

AND that same man (Casey Wasserman) is behind bringing the Olympics to LA, an event that is being used as an excuse to displace tenants near stadiums (so they can build hotels near venues), violate unhoused people, and increase ICE/DHS/police presence in Black/Latino neighborhoods in LA. He's awful!
the dog's only doing this because she smells like cheese 🙄
at the very least it made Zuck go into overdrive making himself seem like a normal person in the press, and I always think it's a good thing when these guys get sweaty. I remember an article where he was desperately buying appletinis for his team as a "joke" because "he never drank them"
