"You make the best of it all and hope you can help make it a little better for the gurl after you."

I can’t help but think today about how many young people were savaged on social media, branded as anti-semites and abandoned by their schools for daring to call for a ceasefire. I remember saying that it was the first time I can remember that calling for ceasefire was regarded as a hostile demand.

WHO SAVED THIS 😭

I would say I am generally very sex positive and pro kink but man the number of fucking diaper people I have to block on this platform because I just don't want to see strangers in diapers is insane. It's insane. I'm talking a few dozen people so far. Who knows how many more there will be.

I just think it's great to imagine a Midtown news team quietly putting together a print paper and then blasting it across the Long Island Sound into Connecticut with a t-shirt cannon

Michael Sarnoski suggests that some team of INCREDIBLY dedicated tabloid writers are still slaving over a print edition of NY Post at the Midtown News Corp. Building and distributing them as far as Connecticut, and if that doesn't ring true to the indomitable human spirit I just don't know what does

in A Quiet Place we see a NY Post article on Lee's workbench that says STAY SILENT STAY ALIVE (a subtle nod to the fact that AQP is set in an alternate universe where NY Post publishes factual info), then in AQP: Day 1 we're shown that Manhattan is a blown up wasteland as soon as apocalypse night 1

"Instead of Columbus, we should celebrate all Italian women for being so hot." this is a genuine thought I had this morning. I'm sharing it as an act of contrition. please do not get mad at me. please do not become passionately enraged with your fiery tempers and strike me with a heavily-ringed hand

i am literally never not tapping the "we need to fund public education and open the schools" sign. there is no moment or topic in which the dearth of basic reading comprehension is not a major force preventing any deeper discussion. a lot of people are functionally meat-based LLMs who parrot tokens.

DAILY REMINDER: Black women lost 319,000 jobs between February and July of this year, the only major female demographic to experience significant job losses during this five-month period.

White men saw the largest job increase 一 365,000 一 among

gock is this true

an Indigenous Peoples Day reminder that borders are bullshit and every Indigenous person from across the Americas deserves to be in the US more than every person of European origin

fuck borders, fuck ICE, land back.

What I'd love people to take from the Portland Frog (and the other inflatable costumes) is both that wearing an inflatable costume to a protest can create cool viral visuals AND that you need to just try shit.

Pacino voice: Every dog has its gay

what an absolutely disgusting, miserable person. ew!!!

You don't have to judge Columbus by the standards of today. His tenure as governor of Hispaniola was so horrific that he was dragged back to Spain in chains to answer for his many crimes.

Plus he never set foot on any land that would ever be a part of the United States of America.

Here's an interview with an up and coming trans activist to start your week off with something uplifting, brought to us by the peerless Christy Perez.

Also, a couple stories from the UK we're watching closely.

so one of the things I’ve started to realize with having a notable following On Here is exactly how much of a reading comprehension problem we have in this country

erm... Don't dox her like this ☝️

This is how I imagine JK Rowling when she posts.

Minneapolis deserves a champion for working people.

This is our opportunity to build a city where every single resident can thrive. I can’t wait to cast my ballot for my friend and colleague, Omar Fateh, as my first choice for mayor by November 4th, and I hope you will join me.

Auspicious start for the new CBS News, laundering unattributed cop shit-talking through the incoming editor-in-chief’s blog and failing to correct a misspelling of the story subject’s name in the web headline for three days.

I've never been more excited to hear John Oliver talk shit about somebody
