If you control for not sitting next to some kind of creep seating options become very limited

Controversial take: I am deeply pro-snow and personally, I consider this restitution for a mild Christmas. It’s still February, let’s keep going. We live in the north, god damn it!

One of the few superbowl moments I paid attention to was an ad where someone calmly handed a this-sized snowball to another someone as if that is a normal human interaction. But no, you would run around like this kid then hit it over your brother’s head. Obvi.

He not only had the gall to be mayor but is using that time to do mayoral things like hold press conferences with other members of his team and use various forms of media to alert the public of an inclement crisis. All around dreadful stuff.

Decorum and professionalism as concepts are dumb on many levels but there is something particularly jarring about seeing someone at the top of our government partying like a frat boy while on the job. He’s 45 (????) - the hangover alone is a fireable offense.

Hi I have no middle name and people find that quite shocking

NOT THE ONE I WAS WORRIED DIED TODAY WINNING WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO MY EMOOOOOTIIIONS OLYMPICS?!?

I’ve been doing evening watches of Olympics recaps which means that it’s been two nights in a row of being stressed out by women’s halfpipe. STOP FALLING DOWN YOU MAKE ME NERVOUS.

Something something protesting too much

Thank you to @importantmeagan.bsky.social for reminding me about the Time Warp, turns out it changes you from grumpy to thrilled in mere moments

Things I will never forget:
- Bad Bunny's halftime performance
- The whiplash from Bad Bunny's halftime performance ending to the world's dumbest, most boring sport

Let’s all take a minute and remember when Lemonade came out

It’s a Christmas miracle!

This man, so help me…

People need to learn how to take a win and then go look for another win! The difference between having zero leverage and having some leverage is big.

every music-based video going up in the last couple days have fully leveled me

Medical staff in scrubs stand silently in two lines along a hospital hallway, heads bowed in respect. One person covers their face in grief. The corridor sign reads "Intensive Care Unit." Yellow lights line the floor.

If you work for ICE, most people actually do despise you.

Abortion + ICE — Abortion Mobilization Project ICE is an existential threat to all of us. We have to fight back.

Made a resource page today. Abolish ICE; defund the police; abortion forever. www.abortionmob.org/learn-more/a...

I’m also resisting saying “I told you so” even though this summer he sat in my kitchen and I told him so

Relatedly this thread is where I finally articulated something I’ve been feeling:
I’m overwhelmed by the simultaneous goodness and badness of people

You know it’s bad when the bros from rural VA text thread starts going off about brown shirts

Oh hell yeah I love this for him

maybe controversial but I’m on team “there are actually enough Competents in the room now to pull off large-scale strategy in part because they don’t care about blowback because they think they can steamroll through it [and to some extent have to date]”

I have read some non-statements in my time but this is top notch vaguery.

They say everyone should have guns. And that it’s our right to have them. And scream and fight for the right to carry them. Then the moment they shoot you as you lie unarmed on the ground with five men in your back, they say it’s because you carried a gun.

They are never, ever going to win in Minnesota.
