Fucking spare me. None of us, even the people that fucking voted for the creep, deserved this. This shit fucking blows and we should be pissed off about it, none of this "well America had it coming you know" nonsense. Fuck that noise.
I am so fucking over this "well we had it coming because of weakness or whatever" navel-gazing pity party bullshit. Not even the people that voted for the fucker deserve what's happening because we all - ALL OF US - deserve better than what the fuck is going on. I'm here to work to save ALL of us.

Fucking loser behavior, learn how to at minimum cook a couple of recipes or shit learn how to doctor ramen, fucking enjoy good things fuck me
this "boy kibble" thing is clearly coding any enjoyment of the aesthetic of food as feminine and more importantly, another step toward a culture where people view the joy of cooking as incompatible with daily life: www.nytimes.com/2026/02/09/s...

so Coke made this low-carb-but-not-"diet" version of Coke with both aspartame and HFCS called Coke C2 for like 2 years in the 2000s and advertised it as "half the carbs, half the calories" and I always thought "I hope so, having fat or protein in Coke would be gross" but they've done it anyway

THIS is punk.
In the greater story of Minneapolis’ resistance to ICE, one chapter absolutely belongs to the punks organizing at every level. They’re observing, fundraising, running supplies, opening their spaces, coordinating, etc.
A story for @rollingstone.com. Thanks to everyone who spoke on the record.

The margin in LA-60 isn't *too* surprising, long history of Dem preference in the district to the point that the guy that left to create the vacancy ran unopposed the last 2 elections.

Been having the tilde key sometimes firing over and over until I mash it. Was worried it was dying, this is my fancy magnetic Hall effect switch keyboard. This morning I pick up this pen I moved next to the keyboard - the one with neodymium magnets for the cap. I am very smart and *very* stupid

Look I might be a bit behind on my film scanning, but these still came out pretty great. Love me some B&W, and especially the way these Tri-X shots came out. As for the Acros shots, I've been trying to get a shot of that metal ring thing for a year and I think I finally got one I'm happy with.

There's a lot of pressure building up because of lack of consequences, some of it because of inaction, some of it because action is being blocked. I *really* wish we could get good midterm primary polling.

can't help but think there is probably a corrosive effect of having sex trafficker-elite emails unveiled for months on end as one of the biggest cultural/news stories of the last year— unearthing an inexcusable moral rot in the upper echelons of power—but without any real accountability/justice
