Just started the Mary Cosby cult documentary and I'm so torn between being prepared to be horrified and also still hoping she will never, ever leave my television?

OOH, this was mine. Just look at the high quality philosophical conversations we are missing out on! What a tragedy.

Men announcing that they "don't like women in makeup" like it's some kind of badge of honor that means they are very special and deep does nothing so much as make me want to slather my entire face in glitter.

This is the "testing the waters" phase of the playbook. The GOP ecosystem targets groups like Somalis, Haitians, and trans people specifically because they've calculated that the average person's passive disapproval won't ever turn into active defense. They're exploiting public apathy.
i'm really having a hard time getting past the "surely we can all agree that Somalis are worse than trash" thing. this feels new and very bad

I don't know how to put this without it sounding like a humblebrag - but I really need a light, non-problematic but also non lecture-y response to people telling me I don't age that doesn't sound like I think aging is bad?

Dude in bar: Whines at me about what "the media" covers.
Me: Where do you get your news. Is it what other people share on your social feeds?
Dude: Well yeah.
Me: You know there's like, a difference between what we cover and what your friends share with you, right?
Every. Single. Time.

“Nobody is talking about this” is frequently an indictment of one’s media diet, not The Media
Unfortunately logged into Twitter/X to find my feed absolutely inundated with claims that no one has covered this at all — and an fact-check ecosystem that is so weak/non-existent that no one said 'check the clips of the Minneapolis Star-Tribune, you dummies'

One of the things I just want to caution folks about is that a lot of crazy untrue things get called into tip lines.
Reports from the FBI could be full of them and everything should be approached with care.
And the fact that one reported event might be false doesn’t mean unspeakable things didn’t

Last year we got a tip about a children's pastor who'd managed to stay in ministry for decades even as allegations of sex abuse trailed him across four states.
I kept pulling thread and found something far bigger: a 50-year pattern of abuse and cover-up in the largest Pentecostal denomination 🧵 1/

For a second, I thought "I'm actually looking forward to them finding out how difficult it actually is to win an employment discrimination lawsuit, because that will be hilarious" but then realized that they'd decide that it's only hard for *them.*

Every time my mind gets quiet for a second these past few days, I hear Melania's voice saying "Is it safe?" and honestly I think it might actually scare me MORE than the original.
That's saying something given that I have to take a lorazepam every time I go to the dentist.

I don't understand what the Republican opposition to moisturizing is. A huge amount of this is caused just by slapping foundation on the face without doing any skin prep at all.
Also — hot tip! Blush is not supposed to go down to your lips and orange bronzer definitely does not go on your nose.
