All these horrible Epstein emails being in GMAIL means he was getting ads based on his crimes and that's pretty fucked.

What someone is wearing is not an indication of who they are... how reliable, trustworthy they are...or how organized...or not...their inner world is; unless it's John Fetterman. Turns out...the slop he wears to work...is an accurate reflection of exactly who he is.

Started watching MURDERBOT and now I don't wanna go to work, I just want to watch MURDERBOT, which is pretty much the plot of MURDERBOT.

The Epstein stuff is always so amazing to me because it's like "yes he was a sex criminal but if you can get past that, he was also an avowed eugenicist"

one of the many many reasons Ravenous is so good is that it doesn't give a stupid choice about But The Drawbacks Of Vampirism. You're not all tortured or sallow or unable to see sunlight or garlic. It just makes you better and healthier in every way, and then asks "so. why might you not want this?"

Theory: The reason every sci-fi movie/show set in the future always shows characters watching 20th century movies/shows/cartoons is because the movies/shows/cartoons of the 21st century are created by AI and suck.

Wild to think that there's a junior exec walking around Manhattan right now who, within a month, will be sent by her firm back to her hometown to close a local business, only to run into a former-flame turned tree-farming cookie enthusiast who'll change her life via the power of Christmas.

‘Nickname’ is not ‘nick’ + ‘name.’

It was originally ‘ekename.’

‘Eke’ was the Middle English word for “also” or “in addition.”

Since ‘ekename’ began with a vowel, people used ‘an’ before it.

Over time, 'an ekename' became 'a nickname.'

One of the major drives behind the ACA for Obama was seeing his dying mother spending endless hours negotiating with insurance companies.

Obama saw it as a nightmare.

Trump thinks it's everyone's dream.
Trump: "I want the money to go into an account for people where they buy their own health insurance. It's so good. The insurance will be better. It'll cost less. Everybody is gonna be happy. They're gonna feel like entrepreneurs. They're actually able to go out & negotiate their own insurance"

it's not that i ever doubted that being a barista was a skilled position, but my year-long effort to try to produce a half-decent latte at home has convinced me that a good barista is easily more skilled than virtually every c-suite executive on the planet

there's a moment in PARADISE LOST where Satan arrives in Eden and realizes Hell isn't a place; it's a thing he carries within him and it'll follow him wherever he goes. and i think about that when i see these awful rich men whose monstrous wealth has enriched them not at all

We pay for the government. Every time they're evil or callous, that's your money going to fuck with people.

I don't want them to be careful or slow or cowardly, I want them to sell tickets to the trials.

And it was on this day, this hallowed day, we all, as a people, agreed to never again say the name Kim Davis, so she could slink back to her normal life, living in a candy cottage, cooking and eating children who took the wrong dark, crooked path through the woods.

Tonight Democrats proved that old quip.

If a genie gave Democrats 3 wishes, they'd negotiate it down to 1, and then wish for something they think Republicans will like.

We need a true opposition party now more than ever. Because this aint it.

If the Democrats aren’t going to fight for the bare minimum for you, then we need to aim for the moon and the stars and go for what we really want. Universal healthcare. Universal basic income. Childcare. Free university education or free trade school.
Democrats won't create the lasting change or tap into the rage of the majority with Schumer and Jeffries in the lead. Centrists won't get it done, no matter how the establishment wills it. The country has radically shifted. The last 10 years is your evidence.
