Something small and silly that makes me happy- whenever Iโm quoted or introduced using they pronouns. I use both she and they, but they gives me a little happy boost for whatever reason.

Sorry but CNN did not report that, no matter how much weโd like to see such a strong rebuke of his performance. Please check to verify sources and donโt spread disinformation.
A simple search of CNN would show that this is not factual. Please donโt spread disinformation, we all gotta work hard to stay grounded in reality and fact to be effective opposition.

What, Iโm just supposed to go teach a dance class while waiting to see if the unthinkable happens? I donโt feel like dancing. I feel like screaming and hurling ceramic items at a wall.

How it feels doing literally any task right now.
TFW you call your representative to ask what they are going to do to stop the president from following through on his statement that he intends to commit genocide and you are told to look at her webpage because she has issued a statement.
The best explanation why millions of Americans worship and support a convicted felon and sexual predator...
Just wait until these eyesore monstrosities want to come to your neighborhood. Goodbye trees. Expect to hear a constant, electrical humming, warmer temperatures and higher energy bills. Fight like hell to keep data centers out of your area.

Sorry to get political again on the silly Nintendo fangirl account but hey gang: when do we start really worrying about this shit. Are we there yet? Feels like we are there.
I thought the story about Marco Rubioโs shoes was so stupid and outlandish that it must be a joke or else propaganda to make his administration look (even) dumb(er). But nope, these clowns out here wearing giant, ugly shoes to please their demented overlord. Wild. Truth is stranger than fiction.
1. Horrifying ruling out of the 4th Circuit.
An all-Republican 4th Circuit panel has just ruled that states can compel trans adults to "appreciate their sex" by enacting care bans.
It even directly says that trans adult care bans are legal in the ruling.

I have seen this in action from other companies. They basically use all the data they have about you, if youโre not logged in or on your own device they look at IP address location etc and change prices based on the maximum they think youโll pay. So there is a common floor but a flexible ceiling.

Anyone supporting the U.S. and Israel in this war is supporting ecological destruction, along with bombing of schools and hospitals. You donโt get to pick and choose what parts of war you support.
Every time a woman runs for president I hear that sheโs too emotional and unstable to make wartime decisions, unlike the men in charge who make really reasonable decisions like bombing kids to death, starting water wars, and poisoning the entire planet
Anyone else just feel like an impotent asshole calling their senators and representatives and having to say things like "Hi, yeah I'm disgusted that our country bombed a school with children for a war we don't want and can't afford and I'm scared about the future please do something."
An innocent school children and human beings in Iran. And the rest of the world as the nation with the most powerful military in the world acts like a drunk frat bro with a predilection for date rape.

At least 1,097 civilians had been killed in Iran so far, including 181 children.
One of my favourite sides of politics/media.
Did congress authorize this fucking war where American lives will undoubtedly be lost? If not, why the fuck do we have a congress? Why are we paying very large salaries and benefits to all these assholes since they do absolutely NOTHING!
