I cackle every time the picture I tweeted like 4 years ago of a page from a Lindy West book that made me scream with laughter, which subsequently exploded on like nineteen different platforms, recirculates past my eyeballs again
my brother sent it to me on Instagram once not knowing I took it 😂

Rep. Ilhan Omar: "I hope he gets the help he needs. It sounds like he's trying to deflect from the failures that he's had as president ... he's fought to be the head of the pedophile protection party."

Interesting video going around TikTok in which lady talks about rejecting using "anti-" prefixed terms to describe her #left stance.
What she really did was, find way to articulate ideas with more meat. That's always valuable. If you write well you're always going to get your idea across more

“AI is clearly sticking around so you have to get used to it” wrong. I don’t have to get used to shit. I am a practiced hater and I can keep this going for decades if I am required to

Why don't they just ask somebody whose brains aren't addled by religion?
It's a virtue. See how that's a nonissue?
The real issue is: "Christian battle grows over whether to admit: 'We're the problem, aren't we?'

If anyone is curious about the current list of search terms being used by right wing activist organizations to harass university professors, here's a public records request I received today from Mike Howell of the Heritage Foundation. Not intimidating or meant to curtail by my speech at all, right?

I named my fists "Did modern humans interbreed with Neanderthals" and "Tool shed renovation," because they never stop making headlines.

Nobody becomes estranged from their family because it's easy or fun. We do it to save our sanity and very possibly our lives.
Finally had that big fight with a Trump supporting family member over the holiday? Struggling with how to move forward as a family after they've endorsed inhuman atrocities?
Well, if you're looking for permission, here it is: You can cut them off. You don't owe nazis anything.

What if the tendency to keep going back to turkey in spite of it being terrible, and the tendency to keep going back to the Orange Skull, in spite of him being terrible, are both coming up on a sea change?

Part of the problem with finding a good thesaurus-- especially one that fills me in on how archaic a term is-- is that now I'm going to spend a lot more time second guessing choices between "heyday" and "efflorescence," "scrupulous" and "principled," and so on.

I’ve thought about this a lot and it is not my place to say but I’ve always found these words to be neutered by the “phobic” - hate is not a phobia. Phobia implies something that is out of a person’s control. Hate is evil and insidious and shouldn’t be watered down by mental health implications.
good call @erinbiba.bsky.social and can we replace “transphobic” and “homophobic” with anti-Trans and anti-Gay?
Given the way that the term antisemitism has been corrupted and denatured by the right (and the left frankly) to meet their own ends I’m considering replacing the term in my own vernacular with anti-Jewish.

🧵Let’s talk about what DEI is.
Diversity, equity, and inclusion doesn’t mean people getting jobs because of their skin color, that’s what the absence of DEI does.
At one point, most professional sports leagues were white-only.

Before we conclude shit like "People are just stupid," or "people just love to be governed by tyrants,"
... maybe try not supporting the institutions that artificially inflate people's love of feeling-over-evidence, unchanging truth, and big-man-in-charge. By which I mean Christianity.

I know it's just Screen Rants, but here's an amazingly stupid needed-an-editor moment. Or you know, straightforwardly racist. It might be naive AF not to just assume the latter.
