While watching The Pee Wee show with my daughter she said the word of the day is "Aaaahhh" and now we're stuck in an endless screaming loop.
The White Castle Slider Search is the number one source of lugers for the US Olympic team. I honestly thought that was a joke, but no, White Castle has decided that since the name for their slider (mini-burger) is also a knickname for a luger, they'll fund a sport

My pet peeve is calling Homelesness a Quality of Life Issue and not meaning the life to the person living on the streets.
man I’m sorry to be all corny here but when I see a “the city is beautiful! There’s more to it than homeless people!” I gotta say you know who’s also beautiful? People who have no place to live & are trying to get by in a system that has turned its back on them & if you don’t see that that’s on you

I was raised by a single Mountain Dew can after my dad, a bottle of Orbitz, ran out on her. So even though I grew up in the 90s this makes complete sense to me.
Every young person sentence online reads like this to me now:
"Bro entered low-stim flow state doing a 10 min grocery rotation and got mogged by a friendly neighborhood cat 💀 Is proximity-maxxing essentials while touch-grass-pilled more optimal than suburb-meta carbrained bulk errands?"

The CIA should find the muppet show. It’s the best America has to offer the world. In the cold war that was a central CIA strategy
production of The Muppet Show should not be dependent on petty vulgarities like “ratings” or “revenue.” it should be preserved as a vital function of american culture. it should have a taxpayer-funded budget rivaling the CIA

There are enough spaces but not enough are cheap or free. Funflation is hitting families hard. Zoos, museums, skating rinks, movies, indoor play spaces are pricey. More discounts are needed.
i think it sucks that online spaces really dont have safe spaces for kids. BUT we need more public spaces for children, especially ones that dont cost money
children deserve offline spaces and community
parks arent enough, give them a government mandated laser tag pit or smth

This analogy about why sports fans are superior to political party fans is so true it hurts. Then again, sports teams tend not to have an abundance of overlapping owners in the way political parties do
sports fans at least have the dignity to hate the owners!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I’d love to see a head to head poll between Schumer and Luigi Mangione of registered NY Dems.
Democrats want commonsense reform for ICE:
End the roving patrols and racial profiling.
Take accountability and abide by the same rules as local police.
Masks need to come off, body cameras need to stay on—no secret police in the United States of America.

Hey Chuck, I know the Baileys. They are solidly on board with abolishing ICE at this point. Eileen is driving her friend Luisa's mom to chemo and calls me up to say she's just aghast at how scared she is.

We don’t owe them anything. They spent a decade ignoring obvious evidence implicating the most guilty while fabricating insane accusations against the innocent.

Epstein’s economic power among academics was made possible by a capitalist system that makes higher education dependent on the charity economy rather than a public good supported by taxing the rich

I genuinely think citizens need to start using drones for surveillance. Granted the administration is trying to change regs to prohibit it, but those can be tested in court for free speech violation, and reduce risk of violent confrontation (until of course they trace the transmission signal).

Filming federal agents in public is legal, but avoiding a dangerous—even deadly—confrontation isn’t guaranteed. Here’s how to record ICE and CBP agents as safely as possible and have an impact.

No need to burn the Reichstag when it’s willing to just keep passing bills to set itself on fire.
Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said the party agreed on three main goals:
° Require warrants in some cases and ICE coordination with state and local law enforcement
° Create a code of conduct and enforce it
° Require agents to wear body cams and not masks

If it doesn’t work for Vampires, it shouldn’t work for ICE
My wife told me she heard at a training she attended that ICE has argued "ALL ARE WELCOME HERE" signs are invitations to enter private spaces and if that don't beat all I don't know what does.
