Gang, this is a Hanukkah buffet, and it’s not even particularly lavish for a crowd that size. The White House has hosted them for decades.
I wouldn’t piss on Trump if he was on fire, but y’all can find so many better things to get pissed about.

Trump is throwing another lavish party at the White House tonight. Here is one of the tables full of food for his guests.

I am 48, fat, and cannot be arsed to do makeup. I do not want to record videos promoting my books. I have explained this to publishers in exactly these words, but it’s a 50/50 on whether it takes.
As more and more creators are expected to be on camera to promote their comics, can we talk for a second about how this opens up female creators to intense harassment about their looks?
Not to mention a lot of "You only have a career in comics because you're good looking" comments?

I was reading through the OP and some replies and if you don't mind me airing a grievance...
there sure are a lot of people out there who seem to have a superiority complex about not watching videos and you do you but I stopped using the word "sportsball" for reasons.

okay somehow this totally banal observation about the relative scale and influence of social media platforms has made some people extremely mad
i have said this before but if you are actually interested in influencing people beyond a narrow circle of too-online journalists you will be making direct to camera videos on tiktok, instagram and youtube. if you primarily post on text-based social media then you're just dicking around.

What an astonishing outcome that no one could possibly have predicted.
The GOP just blocked extending the ACA subsidies - again.
Making people’s healthcare skyrocket while you control the White House and both chambers of Congress seems like a great move for the midterms.

Saw this adorable French animation ad and I had to share it over here! The style looks familiar but I can’t my finger on what group it is. Any ideas?

I’ll be honest, ADHD was not where I saw TERFs headed next. I mean, I knew they were always gonna go after somebody, trans people were always the thin end of the wedge, but of all the bigotry available to choose from, we’re awfully niche.
then, the transphobes , feeling victorious at how many people they have made unhappy and despairing in the previous week, move on to anything else that has a spectrum and the possibility of more colours than they can conceive - such hateful people - they cannot understand anything that is not THEM

Honestly the part of this that I really hope more people recognize is the foot stuff. There's nothing wrong with having a thing for feet, ain't my thing but have fun! But when you're a director who is KNOWN for having one, has a history of abusing his power, and shoves them into MANY of his films...
Matthew Lillard is beloved by so many people.
Quentin Tarantino makes women on film sets uncomfortable (not to mention the chokings), nearly killed Uma Thurman, and was besties with Weinstein KNOWING what he was doing.
Anyone still a fan of Tarantino in 2025 is an actual embarrassment of a human.
