when someone has done about 75% of the hard labor (that wasn't contracted out) in getting your house ready to sell, it's only fair you take them out for hotpot.

we have technology that i used to dream about when i saw it on Star Trek, but now that it's in the hands of corporate techbros, i find it way less exciting
something like Alexa would have been the culmination of a dream when I was 15, but i won't have one in my house in reality

I think this is really true
Like fuck her, it’s not sincere, even if it is I have no grace for her, but moving back toward a world where it’s seen as a political liability to gleefully be an atrocious person would be Good Actually

Literally stunned that someone like MTG is forcing herself to apologize, of all things. Indicative of a political wind blowing away from performative cruelty in politics because she is a weather-vane politician if ever there was one.

Forget who I saw say it but really the response to shit like this should be “Margaret I find it concerning that you seem to be trying to run cover for a child sex trafficking ring, that sounds like something a pedophile would do”
Margaret Brennan to Tom Suozzi: "Can you explain the focus this past week in the House by Democrats on the Jeffrey Epstein files? Is this a tactic to distract from the failure to extract healthcare changes?"

went out for *good* midwestern cajun food last night which means breakfast = leftover spicy pasta + egg.
also last night i realized that most midwestern cajun food doesn't hit the mark because it's trying too hard.

i'm not going to delve into this, but i saw someone post that trump had to be lying that he didn't know what he got an mri for.
i have to get an mri before my surgery. they asked if i was claustrophobic and needed to be sedated.
i fully believe it's possible he doesn't know what he went in for.

thrilled to report that if Pope Leo is ever canonized as a saint, his jerseys will indeed become second-degree relics, and I unironically hope I live to see this
Omg wait @clairewillett.bsky.social are all of the Pope’s jerseys relics now????
He's the sports jersey pope now. 1000 years from now historians will be going through the Vatican archives trying to figure out who the Charlotte Hornets were.

This moment demands transformational policies — because the challenges we face are too big for half measures.
We need bold action rooted in care, justice, and community.

when i was a kid, i used movies to navigate my own trauma at home.
in college i discovered that the kids in my favorite movies had been abused by the adults in their lives, and i still grieve.
we don't know what we've lost from all these predators' and enablers' abuse.
it wasn't worth it.

Right, like if they were? *I’d want to fucking know.* I dread the idea, it would be upsetting, but I would rather fucking know and confront the ugly prospect of delivering consequences for horrific actions than turn a blind eye!

"What if one of YOUR favorite politicians/celebrities/etc is on the list?" Did you all not notice how quickly we dropped Neil Gaiman when we found out about the things he did? Do you know how beloved that guy used to be and how loathed he is now? I think that right there should answer your question.

people get paid better and more reliably at starbucks than my local places, and the local places don't offer benefits.
