I just had a security guard at The Highline ask me if I was a local after he saw me waste a predatory hustler's time.
It's just so nice to know I'm enough of an asshole to pass for a New Yorker. Seriously, it's an immense compliment.
I tripped over a dustpan and let out a hearty 'fuck'
But it was a joyous, celebratory 'fuck' because today I'm grateful for Christ—thanks to Him I can say 'fuck' in a perfect, resurrected body one day.
He is risen
Star Trek The Search for Spock scene. Our Lord and Savior Spock is pictured in a white robe. He stands surrounded by his shipmates who are all older here than they were in the TV show. Sulu is touching Spock's chest for some reason and he's smiling. Uhura, Chekov, Scotty, and Bones also all seem thrilled to see him. Despite being surrounded by friends, Spock is staring only at Kirk, for obvious reasons.
He is risen
Spencer Cox is a shill for fascists. Sending people to a repressive foreign prison based on the whims of ICE is criminal.
Sad to see that the current Wendy's tweets will never again have the fearlessness of the OG team.
Amy Brown may have gained a career from her time managing the Wendy's account, but we all lost a lighthouse in a world of stormy cyberstorms
Yes.
But a P90 is also acceptable. Because the only way to not totally lose your sanity is to pretend this is a Stargate episode instead of reality. So, the P90 helps
Don't be silly, that only happens in resource-rich, brown countries that need freedom
important context about the concentration camps in el salvador:
A Gallup Poll taken the day after the shootings reportedly showed that 58 percent of respondents blamed the students, 11 percent blamed the National Guard, and 31 percent expressed no opinion. 791 However, there was wide discussion as to whether these were legally justified shootings of American citizens, and whether the protests or the decisions to ban them were constitutional.
One of my big fears is that there would be a new Kent State massacre and people would be so brainwashed that they wouldn’t even be horrified because we’ve fallen so far but that is pretty much actually what happened at Kent State
My adorable cat, inside a backpack carrier that looks like a great ball
The lady at the vet clinic asked my cat "oh, are you a little Pokemon"?
And then it got awkward.
Do I answer for my cat? Do I do a little squeaky voice when I do? AM I NOW EXPECTED TO SPEAK FOR MY CAT?
I just looked at her all confused and then she took the cat away to give her her shots.
Seasoned organizers at the event said they had never seen the capitol police, nor the far-right counterprotestors be so aggressive and angry at any other group.
The Mormon fascists are terrified of losing the dominant cultural narrative, which only shows how tenuous their grip on it is
A few weeks ago, Mormons with Hope (MWH) had a demonstration at the UT capitol
MWH is a group of leftist (not liberal) Mormons who are committed to pushing back against the fascist undertones of the American LDS church
Mormons aren't doomed to fascism—many of us are fighting back successfully
So now there'll be even less incentive to look at all the American arms shipped south for cartels and other terrrorists to use?
Great
Devastating accusation
I think Changelings are inherently autistically coded. "Someone swapped my perfect precious baby for this fae thing that doesn't act like he's supposed to." Sounds like an Autism Speaks parent!
In Spanish we have a saying: "When the devil dies, everyone suddenly speaks well of him".
Those who knew Love personally can certainly mourn her, but I don't believe in condemning people for expressing public relief at the death of a public figure who was as harmful and cruel as Love was.
Occam's Razor states that when you have two *equal* propostions, then go with the simpler explanation—it's a tool to use when you've exhausted all other logical possibilities.
Given Hegseth's alcoholism, I don't think Occam's Razor needs to be applied here—he was just drunk.
Having done a fair bit of ketamine, I can absolutely see how it can break your reality if you're not careful about it (I did it under medical supervision and it was still extremely disorienting)
Rationalism makes a lot more sense once you realize all their proponents are unmoored from reality
Behind the Bastards is currently doing a series on the Zizians—a cult offshoot of rationalist thinking.
They explain all about these fantastical beliefs, and it is so much crazier than anything you could imagine.
I'd recommend it if you're interested
She knew!
Did we buy him a cat wheel because we love him?
No, it's because we're jealous he gets to loaf all day and we want him to feel the inescapable death cycle of capitalism as well.
Yeah I understand that. Unfortunately I don't know either.
But I do know we'll make it.
I take a lot of inspiration from black leaders and the positive vision they maintained throughout. I think seeing how they thrived in adversity can be a roadmap for us today.

Curious why we don't see much Broken Windows Theory applied to police
You let cops get away with little crimes like parking illegally and passing out “get out of traffic ticket” cards to friends & family. Next thing you know they’re killing unarmed civilians and abusing their spouses at high rates
remember stuff like this when they tell you that diversity means a lowering of standards
like 100 times today somebody has been like "oh yeah? well without chatgpt how am i supposed to do THIS?" and the thing is just their literal job that they are doing extremely poorly
I think the first step is acceptance that you can't do anything about the big, scary stuff. It's gonna happen regardless and it's gonna be awful for so many people.
I don't mean to be callous, but realizing what I can't do helps me see what I can—limited as that may be.
I know Democrats essentially t-balled every horrific thing that Trump is now able to do, but he's so awful that I do find myself missing when they were uselessly in power.
Here's a picture of my daughter with Joe Biden, such nostalgia
When we were considering an electric car a few years ago, we almost bought a Tesla.
We backed off because I was concerned about some things I'd read about the ways Tesla's operate.
Glad we did
