I need all yall that dont speak spanish to learn a few words, real quick.

pls RT

"La Migra" - common slang for ICE

"La Patrulla" - "The Patrol"

"No digas nada" - "Say nothing."

¿Cómo te llamas? - "Whats your name?"

"¿Quién quieres que llame?" - "Who do you want me to call?"

I'm very mad at my past self for introducing a Janus and a Jameson, and in the first two books they never interact with each other so it's fine, but in book 3 they interact a lot

... you mean they're not?

Bouie keeps getting slammed for these sensible and sober minded Takes because there are people who've come to see anything short of maximal Doomerism as somehow complacency - you're saying I *shouldn't* feel maximally bad!??? Yet it is obvious on reflection that maximal doomerism breeds complacency.
There are places where Trump, as president, has broad freedom of action. And there are places where Trump, as president, has been able to act unilaterally because the main point of opposition, Congress (and SCOTUS), support his program. (1/?)

People will scoff and clutch pearls and refuse to read any romance novel that has cheating in it and yet gleefully watch every Hallmark movie where the big city girl falls for the hot lumberjack while still technically engaged to her workaholic fiance

yeah pretty much every organized exercise/sports activity I've ever done gave you some kind of medal or ribbon or patch just for showing up, but we only clutch pearls when it's little league soccer for some reason

I am now ready to admit I have too many books but I am not ready to admit that anything follows from this. It is an isolated fact shedding no light and recommending no course of action.

Why does everything about modern politics make me feel like I'm in middle school again

I had some friends who were into IRL quidditch like 15-20 years ago (we were college age nerds get off my back) and they basically had to rework the rules entirely to make it remotely playable.

I think it’s kind of gross that the first assumption in the screencapped headline is “mean mean heartless protestors are using babies as meat shields” and not “can’t exactly arrange a babysitter when you’re fighting for your life”

Doesn't help that both tiktok and reels make it almost impossible to pause or rewind and automatically load the next thing before you even have a moment to process what you just saw
January 15, 2026 at 3:19 PM
it's such a pain in the ass to consume video based content too. I can read much faster than you can talk. and now need to worry about having headphones or bothering the people around you.
January 15, 2026 at 3:19 PM
that's like a 4 hour drive
