I wrote about Ilhan Omar, her incredible story, and how the overwhelming apathy we all experience is allowing our moral center to decay:

Ilhan Omar is an American
Ilhan Omar has proven her devotion to this nation more deeply than nearly every other person here.

I'm not using this as an opportunity to dunk on Walz - this is just one part of a terrible whole - but recent events provide us with reason #829 why the theatrics of overly polite debate performances is a trap never worth falling into

There really needs to be a singular platform for gifting indie subscriptions to your friends and fam
today instead of buying barely discounted crap, get a paid subscription to an independent media outlet! a little $ goes a long way towards supporting a free press. 🗞️

drop links to your own or your faves in the replies so ppl can easily sign up (bonus if you add a couple words about why it’s good!):

As if I needed a reminder to skip Black Friday, Amazon's "Fashion Deals" page has 13,764 items for sale. I cannot filter by size, gender, or type. Only:

- Whether it is an accessory
- Prime/not prime
- Over/under four stars
- Luxury/not luxury

Just could not respect its customers any less

So it's only okay to leverage a tragedy for racist politics, not any other kind of politics
November 28, 2025 at 5:49 AM
the only time republicans care about a tragedy is when everyone else brings up the general concept of cause and effect
Steven Cheung is the kind of character you’d think was too over the top to be real if they were in a movie.
The spirit of Thanksgiving has infused the White House press office today, bringing us together in a blessed moment of harmony and goodwill.

We all need to do better at pausing and asking if things are real or not before elevating them to our networks

When the strongest argument for your policy is a list of lies (I count 7) and exaggerations (another 5), you reveal more than a wonky list of truths ever would.

I am so tired of the Trump administration gaslighting me. Lindsey Halligan is obviously a 40 year old former playgirl transported from 1987

Turkey discourse is broken.

It matters very little how much you have adapted to spending a day fussing over cooking a bird. Every other meat is superior with 10% of the effort and 0% of the gravy.

Plus, mathematically, like 90% of us are at the whims of our well-meaning aunties who are bad at it
Turkey is fucking delicious and if you don’t like turkey because think turkey is dry then you’re just bad at cooking turkey.

I didn't think that this voicemail message for this municipal district a thousand miles away would make me cry, but it did.

I'd say these guys need to be running the country but they seem to be exactly where they need to be
this is not our customer service number. it’s just my voicemail inbox.

you’re welcome to call. i hope you do.

It's a valid question but indicative of how much we forget that the privileged and unworried class is global
Foreign tourism is down 22% this year

I really don't understand how it's not 100%

It makes sense* that the asshole who wrote this on behalf of the American people, the current OPM Director Scott Kupor, looks like a walking snapchat filter

The amount of political dunking and showmanship about how much Thanksgiving costs is really quite excessive when you consider that only like, 1 in 8 of us ever pay for a whole ass Thanksgiving meal

It's 11 years late, but it feels worthwhile to point out how much Adam Wingard's The Guest (2014) falls apart in the third act.

It fell apart, like, a lot

Remember the horrifying text messages that showed a Border Patrol agent bragging about shooting someone in Chicago last month?

The government just abandoned their charges against the woman who was shot to avoid even *more* embarrassing texts being released, it seems. New @motherjones.com
The feds suddenly want to drop charges against a woman shot by a Border Patrol agent
The move avoids the release of more messages from a Border Patrol agent whose previous texts showed he had bragged about shooting her.

we shouldn't need to pay a service to pay a fraudulent charlatan to do our taxes
TurboTax is about to be integrated into ChatGPT, where customers will be guided through tasks tied to their tax filings or financial profile by the AI chatbot.

TurboTax owner Intuit is also paying OpenAI more than $100 million a year to power AI agents.
