Nancy Pelosi is retiring the right way.

by Ezra Klein

Pay kindness forward. Maybe one day it will come back to you.

Really enjoying all manner of Black folk celebrating with us about Bad Bunny at the sports bowl game… 🇵🇷🐸🌴

There are days where I really just wanna grab my kid and my family and… I don’t know… leave the planet ?

The cringe I feel when I see #TheGoldenBachelor trailer… oooffff…

“Stop to end” should work on social media too, not just stupid spam texts

I guess tonight I’ll be watching Kimmel and popping Tylenol like the rest of America… still need to find a Hulu alternative 🤦🏽‍♀️

But… could you imagine 7 whole years WITHOUT these people?? The relief… #rapture

#BadBunny’s live concert 😭🇵🇷🌺🥰❣️🐐

Such an amazing concert!!!

No one:

Me: There is a correct order of Jolly Ranchers. It goes, grape at the bottom, then Blue, then Watermelon, then green, then Red.

Can I just say… in all the chaos… I’m rooting for Keke Palmer and Sean Evans. #hotones

Charlie Kirk, Redeemed: A Political Class Finds Its Lost Cause By ignoring the rhetoric and actions of the Turning Point USA founder, pundits and politicians are sanitizing his legacy.

Ta-Nehisi Coates on Charlie Kirk and the pundits and politicians sanitizing his legacy.

It’s almost jarring to see Grammy news in the middle of my doom scrolling… like a regular day… but it’s not, right?

I think I just made my first Starter Pack?? Hopefully this helps booktokkers start to find each other over here! #booksky

I love this so much!

At the inauguration, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson wore a distinctive collar adorned with cowrie shells, which are believed to offer protection from evil in African traditions.

This choice mirrors the late Justice Ginsburg’s practice of using collars to convey a message.

Be a menace to them.
Outsmart them.
Outlive them.
Do what you need to do to stay here with those who love you.
Come find me if you need emergency chocolates and pictures of the most amazing baby to ever live—mine.

I would also like to clear up any confusion that if the government only recognizes two genders going forward, they just legally granted me the right to identify as a Problem

I need three more books to meet my hearly reading goal. Any good suggestions? And if they’re, non-fiction —they’re by definition not good suggestions!

If you think about it, Bravo’s reality programming is basically a look at a modern regency era. They call on each other, they fight for status and definitely marry for it, they’re always going to parties, they don’t seem to work, there’s a lot of enemies, and not enough lovers… it’s all there.

@marisapk.bsky.social did create this!

I’m not baffled by either side,
but I also don’t belong in either. So where do I go?
Am I naive for even asking? Maybe.
I desperately want an adult to fix this mess. Where did they all go?

I am so tired of this world, this country.
So very fucking tired of it all. (9/9)

And, most of all, the state of this world was so clearly avoidable. It's profits over people though, isn't it? Is this how we’re going to conduct business from now on?
This is our future? This? (8/9)

So, their schadenfreude is justifiable at worst,
damn near defensible at best. But is it just me?
Is it not gut-wrenching to see how far we've fallen,
how deep into this nightmare we've sunk? (7/9)

Others hope the assassin is never found. Some educate on jury nullification. Do I understand? Sure. Many of these people have been hurt—permanently, deeply—by companies like his. (6/9)

I've been listening to people I respect and care about explain why they're okay with this series of events. "Let no CEO sleep soundly again," one said. Some hope for one dead CEO a day until things change. (5/9)

I hope he gets the afterlife he deserves. But do I think this gained anything for those still waiting for life-saving care? No, unfortunately, I don't. It changes nothing for them today or tomorrow. Our broken government won't do a thing. (4/9)

Am I sorry for the guy? You know the one, right?
The scumbag at the helm of a for-profit insurance company that made $22 billion+ by denying life-saving care to thousands? No. I can't say I'm sorry. (3/9)

Then today, I suspect those assholes are baffled by you.
You know the ones, right? The anti-capitalists,
the ones who care so much about ending the despair and destruction they're damn near throwing a parade for a murdered CEO. (2/9)
