Wow people still do this stuff?
SCOOP — A former staffer for Rep. Jeff Van Drew (R-NJ), Natalie Green, 26, was charged today for falsely reporting she was attacked by 3 men who wrote "TRUMP WHORE" on her stomach bc of her job. It was staged by her + a friend.

Van Drew isn't named in the complaint but I've confirmed w/ his office.

Culturally I missed the 1990s. I was way down some very specific rabbit holes, and had little time for anything else. Then I had babies, and that pretty much obliterated all else for a while.

So I’d never seen a Hal Hartley film until today: AMATEURS. What a blast, like an American Godard.

I'm so sorry to repost this again. I've tried really hard not to be abnoxious about it but look, Monday is NOV. 17th. I'm already TWO WEEKS past seriously, desperately LOW ON OIL.
I don't normally ask for help. This is genuinely a serious situation. I'm mid-way through NOV. W/O HEAT.
If you can?
Okay, I guess I have to do this.
I need to raise $1000 to buy a full tank of oil to make sure I have heat & hot water in my apt. since the federal funding that i rely on has, seemingly, evaporated.
I'm nearly out of oil- it's Nov. In upststate NY.

Not proud, but I will go to my grave never being able to remember what stage left and stage right mean.

I (derogatory) am having a great Monday so far: ocular migraine, all my emails bouncing, dog threw up, and stupid work stuff.

40 years ago we’d have congressional hearings falsely accusing metal bands of putting backwards messages in their songs that told kids to kill themselves & now we have a planet-killing chatbot that’s all like “bet you won’t commit suicide chickenshit bitch” & the government is like here’s $5 billion

Greatest thread ever.
Big day at U.S. District Court in D.C. where Sean Dunn, the D.C. Sandwich Guy, is on trial for misdemeanor assault of a federal officer.

Border Patrol agent Gregory Lairmore is on the stand narrating surveillance video of the sammie toss.

'Now he’s struck me with the sandwich,' Lairmore says.

Starshaped does it again. 🖤
Made a real-size cassette tape from metal type and kind of love it, like I loved that mix tape my high school bestie got from a cooler older cousin circa ‘93. Available as a small print: www.starshaped.com/small-prints...

This is a first for me: I just bought tickets to a show and i'm worried I may be too old/unhip to go. It's Horsegirl (and 2 other bands), but the venue (it turns out after I bought my tickets) is some party mansion uberhip place in Bed Stuy called Hancock House. This photo on their IG dismayed me.
