jeffrey epstein won't see your jokes about how poorly written his emails were, but your barely literate friends also won't see them, because they can't read. fire away

Northern lights frustrate me because most of the time when i see them, including last night, they're barely distinguishable from a cloud.

This always happens to trans women! Anything less than the same type of communist as you are is seen as a sort of betrayal in a way seen in no other people. Trans women owe you their Walmart-firebomber leftism
So fun fact I actually read the article in question and bipartisanship doesn't come up! She's not talking about bipartisanship! She's talking about internal Democratic politics!

Look, all I ask is that McBride be given the same benefit of the doubt you all will inevitably give the next orc declared The Authentic Voice Of The Working Class (TM).

If Sarah said this, I genuinely think one of you all would assassinate her.

The campaign against "performative reading" is exactly what I would get on board with if I were a marketing person in, say, Spotify or Amazon and I wanted men to go back to listening to manly podcasts and audiobooks at 1.5x speed instead of gawping at bits of paper on the street like gay babies do.

It's a Wonderful Life, Sound of Music, Ordinary People, and Life is Beautiful. This is an Oldhead list, don’t know what to feel about LiB's inclusion tho.
Pope Leo has shared his four favorite movies of all time, as the Vatican prepares to host dozens of actors and directors in a “World of Cinema” gathering on Saturday at his official residence. See which films made the pope's list. nyti.ms/4p3exK9

“men are fundamentally offensive people and making them think about other people is the equivalent of cutting off their balls” is such a degrading thing to say about us that i cannot believe like 60% of men fucking eat it up.

Regarding the whole Gen Alpha "67" thing, I just don't think it's appropriate to joke about six's relationship to seven after what seven did to nine.

One thing that's fun about Hitman is that everything is a one hit kill to enemies except riddling them with bullets. Throw a rusty nail at someone? Dead. Push someone off an eight foot ledge? Dead. Shoot a guy a dozen times? Gets back up. Stab him with a screwdriver? Dead.

We are literally mad about your failure to fight the real dangers.
But there are real dangers out there that must be fought; and energy spent fighting each other is energy lost to that bigger fight.

After yesterday’s surrender, we’re launching the largest Democratic primary program that we’ve ever run.

We will not back any Senate primary candidate unless they call for Schumer to step down as Minority Leader.

If you’re as pissed as we are, join this campaign to rebuild the Democratic Party. 👇
Democratic leaders have failed us again. It's time to get new leaders.
After yet another capitulation by Chuck Schumer and Senate Democrats, it's clear we need new leadership capable of mounting a serious opposition to Trump's authoritarian regime. We're launching our la...

Wait are there Beyond haters out there? Like, I get being a nerd who hates 09, and there was hate for Into Darkness since the beginning, but it’s hard to imagine a more likable Trek movie than Beyond.
Legitimately do not get the sheer hatred for the Kelvin movies within the Star Trek fandom, even the Star Wars fandom was able to move past the prequels but Star Trek's is just filled with some old farts.

I do have some hope that Jeffries, if not Schumer, is at least starting to Get It.
Reporter: Dr Oz said that—

Jeffries: Who? Nobody who is serious in this country takes Dr. Oz seriously… I’m not going to respond to any comments from randos like Dr. Oz who is woefully unqualified.

This is exactly what you said in March, and y'all just did the same shit but worse. Replacing leadership *is* party unity.
Many feel betrayal and frustration, and the feelings are hot right now.

I get it. I have my own feelings.

We're doing the hellsite bit from twitter but on a website that's mostly just pretty chill and nice. Like i'm gonna complain about the most annoying people here but that's not most of my interactions.
Being on Bluesky is a bit like being a Cowboys fan in that everyone swears they hate it, but they can’t stop talking about it.
the hipsters, they’re ordering double frufru mocha soy frappuccino. doesn’t anybody order a black coffee anymore

Honestly can we not make up books to get mad at? Like, it wasn't some conservative white lady who conjured this image, it was you, Franki. You made up the racist book.
We're probably a year away from someone dropping what they'll describe as a "griping Romeo & Juliet story" about an ICE agent falling for a woman he tear-gassed while kidnapping her father.

It'll be written by a white woman from a law enforcement family, and she'll be *shocked* by the backlash.
They’re going to try, they’re going to find a very popular actor, and they’ll shoot it morosely, and they’ll tell you they’re really trying to “honor the story” of the people they targeted for kidnapping and detention amid this psychological study.

This is a very good answer to OP's very stupid question.
Gov shut down through Thanksgiving, destroying air travel that week. Gop feels forced to destroy the filibuster to ensure it doesn't happen during Christmas. Gop takes full blame for the air travel crisis, the shutdown, the destruction of the ACA. Hi info Dem partisans have confidence in their party
