So there’s someone on TikTok who is doing a MALORT ADVENT CALENDAR and I just need y’all to also see this. We’re only 4 days in and I’m slightly concerned how easy this person just drinks Malort. 😳

“the USPS must turn a profit” makes me want to set things on fire
they put a clause in the fucking constitution about postal service, that’s how important it is
nothing in there about “only if you can make money on it”

🚨SCOOP: Amazon is preparing to sever ties with USPS and expand its shipping network as a true coast-to-coast rival.
It could cost USPS more than *$6 billion* a year in lost revenue, and lead Amazon to dominate yet another facet of the economy.
USPS posted a *$9 billion* loss in 2025.

On the 2nd day of #Crustmas, my Georgia coast gave to me, a coastal-dune-dwelling isopod, making tracks! Trackmaker is probably Armadillidium vulgare (nicknamed "pillbug" or "roly poly"), with special guest tracks made by much bigger ghost crabs (Ocypode quadrate), on Sapelo Island, GA. 🦀🐾

Former Republicans just don't have the learned helplessness toward politicians that lifelong Democrats do
For some reason Democratic leaders seem to prefer telling voters what they won’t be able to do, rather than what they’d like to do.
If Hegseth ordered a war crime and lied about it, shouldn’t Ds try for impeachment? Put Rs on the spot. They might get a few defections.

Either you understand that there is an organized campaign to push trans people out of public life with the explicit end goal of "morally mandating us out of existence" that is backed by some of the wealthiest individuals to have ever lived, or you're simply not equipped to grasp what's happening.

It's all the more unfortunate that Treasure Planet didn't find its audience, as it was conceived as the beginning of a saga. A sequel was already in pre-production before being canceled a few days after the film's disastrous release.
