Also: I know this is going to be nearly impossible for some people due to how fucked up things are, and if that’s you, I’m so sorry. It’s additional injury on top of everything else.

There’s a lot to be upset about, and I don’t advise putting your head in the sand, but it is really bad for your brain to be mad all the time on a purely physiological level.

If you possibly can, take time to put down the mad.

It will help you think more clearly and remember why you’re doing this.

Yeah I don’t have a football team. I have principles.

As far as I can tell the most strange and puzzling thing I can tell people in the UK is that we care more about their law in 1775 than they could possibly imagine.

Or thought about the Commonwealth in the early 20th century? Or thought about, like, Canada or Australia?

it's wild how confusing it is to watch a politician who thinks we should like, all get human rights and be able to afford to live, but also is inviting us (generic, not me sob) to do joyful things with each other too

I promise that there's enough to be mad about without slyly implying false things to get people to angrily retweet you. These are not people who should be getting our attention.

They do this on the regular: half the time I see them in my timeline it's someone taking something they've said that they've distorted into "oh my god" shit, and sometimes I think that too until I see the source.

That's not what's happening. It's still a Bad Idea, to be clear, but the claim buried deep in the article is that he's firing missiles like they're fireworks.

Also, shutting down portions of the interstate to move JD Vance to the parade.

But the regular way, not with missiles.

If you look at the quote tweets on this recent headline of theirs, for instance, you'll see that about 80% of the people who see it think something along the lines of, Trump is launching missiles at Californians to take out I5 so he can shut the protests down.

EXCLUSIVE: Trump May Launch
Missiles from Warships into
California this Friday and Saturday
as Part of "Vanity Parade"

I try not to repost news from Meidas because, and this is important, they click bait and rage bait and honestly I don't think any of us need that shit.

That was an awful thing that happened to you and I'm glad that you had good friends.

We checked. Sorry, JD Vance.

I honestly cannot believe the whole center console on cars thing isn’t illegal and stigmatized. The messages, the alerts, the notifications — it’s all absolutely, positively dangerous and unnecessary.

i love that my car flashes a message to keep my eyes on the road on a screen in the center console that i have to dismiss

"sorry officer, i didn't see that pedestrian there. my car was yelling at me to keep my eyes on the road"

Why would a man like that actually do things when it's much easier to:

* lie and claim he did it
* take credit for someone else's work

This whole interview with @lindseyboylan.bsky.social is amazing, but we need to shout this from the rooftops.

There's this message that abusive men like to send that's something like "yeah, I'm an abuser, but I'm a strong man who can get things done."

And no, he isn't.

LINDSEY BOYLAN: People who abuse women abuse every kind of power they have.

At this point in time I wish I had a better memory for names and an idea that I should keep receipts in case people end up being appointed to the federal judiciary. But I do remember being like "holy fucking hell."

There was one guy in particular who said some seriously hateful racist shit.

He went to Yale.

He didn't just claim to go to Yale; I knew his real name, and he was on Law Journal.
