No, but we'll for sure ask how much time you spent in hair and make up this morning, because honestly who wears a bandana like that unless it's staged, my girl?

And none of those 150M will be able to do shit if we get locked out of our accounts because you still haven't figured out a disciplined methodology to support your users, Adam.
This is me, clapping with one hand. I hate myself a little more every day for still using a Meta-owned platform.

Good god that this story isn't even getting discussed today shows you that we live in the fucking upside down. If Twitter were still public, this would be on the front page of the WaPo and the WSJ. That is a lot of money for anyone to pay, even him.

My friends and I lived through this bullshit in the 90s. These ideas are not new. These assholes just have bigger platforms now. Bearing children and getting married are not measures of success (duh, but it bears repeating). Full-throated misogyny, however, is an abject moral failing.

Legit forgot she existed after she launched her weird "Alo for Gun Owners" weird-as-fuck clothing line way back during Trump 1.0 when Milo still had a day job.

This week, my US House Rep Wesley Bell quibbled in front of a heated crowd about what the definition of “genocide” is. Can someone please send him this? Because it’s this.

If you lived in a red state, you’d never write a headline as dumb as this. How about we stop doing it? “These Rubes Will Feel it the Most!” Is a shockingly stupid narrative and one that needs to get tossed. It’s a good story, too. It’s the framing I take issue with.

At this point, I’m pretty sure it’s not just “experts” who were aware of the warning signs. Like…we’ve all been here and have internet connected devices. This entire fucking time.

It’s waaaaay too early in the spring for this kind of trifecta weather warning in St. Louis. Good thing they laid off all those storm trackers at the NOAA who monitor extreme weather conditions.

No one ever has the right words to console an innocent group of severely marginalized people who are being systematically attacked. This is institutionalized hatred and bigotry; a very dark day for trans people globally. I’m so fucking sorry. Trans women are women. Period.

Re: what I said below? We MUST reiterate that the tariffs are in response to a fake made up emergency every time we bring them up. See below. It's not just irresponsible. It's illegal.

I realize there are far more pressing issues facing the American public, but I just wanted to take a moment to thank HBO personally for providing us with several weeks' worth of the brilliant double Goggins header that is White Lotus/Righteous Gemstones. We don't deserve this. I'll take it.
