12YO girl signed up to do “stand up comedy” at the talent show. 13YO boy decided to heckle her. Teacher started to tell the boy to leave her alone, but the 12YO comedian said “no, no, let him go, this is the closest he’s ever going to get to having a conversation with a girl.”
What's an insult you'll never forget?

That guy’s really an unwell narcissist, huh?

I don’t know how anyone with a conscience can keep pretending he’s ok.

I’ve never read writing this bad. I try to never criticize people who create because it’s hard work and always a miracle to get something completed and sold. But this is bad. Shocking in the unique ways it is bad. Stunning in the unnecessary effort that resulted in its self indulgent meaninglessness
I cannot convey to you the sheer fucking weirdness of Olivia Nuzzi's book.

Remember your favorite creator possibly might be struggling with imposter syndrome and doubt and this timeline sucks.. so if you find yourself thinking “wow I really relate to this persons work” or that persons work gives you joy, you should probably tell them. It’s a hard time to be a creative.

certain segments of the so-called left never learned what intersectionality really means, re. centering Black women in struggle. they also never internalized the fact that Indigenous women continue to a. exist b. organize c. hold cultural norms/worldview different to their own.

Decision Desk has called both of Georgia's statewide races, for public service commissioner, for Democrats.

If confirmed, this would be a really huge win for Democrats:

It'd be their first statewide win in any non-federal race since 2006!

The USDA sent an email to grocery stores telling them they are prohibited from offering special discounts to customers affected by the SNAP funding lapse.
I'm aware of at least 2 stores that had offered struggling customers a discount, then withdrew it after receiving this email

I've been getting back into the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series after many years, and the most relatable part is how everyday objects like doors and elevators have been imbued with artificial intelligence and it just makes them obnoxious and frustrating to use and everyone hates it.
