random cis lady at work: what are your pronouns?

me: i am the primordial ooze from which chromosomes are birthed! i am the gaping maw on the face of god whose voice dictates the phenotype of one's soul! i am gender itself!

lady: cool okay. i just wanted to make sure.

Growing up in a time when “selling out” was the most shameful thing you could do and then being forced to live through the 2020s feels like being kicked in the head by a horse every day

My takeaway from every new Epstein revelation is that some powerful people victimized many powerless young women, many more knew, some actively enabled it--and we're still being told that MeToo and accountability for sexual violence have gone too far

high-level drug dealers: "we never mention anything illegal over text. basic details of transit and logistics are discussed only via encrypted comms."

child sex traffickers: "lmao the future president hurt himself in my pedophile mansion bc he was too busy oogling naked children"
Amazing how many criminals get together and decide the first order of business is emailing each other about the crimes every three minutes

my husband couldn’t remember the name ‘geek squad’ so he called it ‘the nerd store’ followed by a frustrated ‘you know what i’m referring to! the virgin store!’

Yes!

And I think he did great work with media but honestly nothing had me saying "oh wow communicator of a generation."

No. He's likeable, he's decent, his policies are popular, he has a campaign work ethic.

Maybe most importantly: he obviously had competent staff and obviously listened to them.
The thing about Mamdani is that he’s a talented politician but not otherworldly or one in a billion, he’s just a competent guy with popular ideas who ran against an entitled piece of shit and to me it’s a lot more optimistic to imagine 1000 campaigns like his than to view him as a unique phenomenon

You're right, it's my fault the elected Democratic senators folded. My anger at their lack of will to fight made them so sad that they lost their will to fight.
The defeatism on the left after we just had one of the most high profile primary upsets ever, is absolutely insane. The path forward is right there, we just saw a huge step work

Explains so much about why elected Dems roll over and surrender immediately. That's what most of the voter base does too.
Yes, and now everyone realizes we can't win with this team. Time to blow it up and rebuild. Tank for some picks.

there’s a thing here about for the last decade or so, online people have been very negative about small talk - the weather, or local news, or whatever - and small talk is the grease that keeps physical interactions going, and i am tired of ceding that to shut-ins
i say thank you to the bus driver when i get on and yell thank you when i get off every day i ride the bus, and i take two buses to and from work, being nice and friendly costs you nothing and should be your default expectation for yourself because it improves your day and everyone else’s day
Being nice to people is just fun. Asked young server at taco place how her day was going (fine but tired) and she asked me back. I said I managed to finish my to-do list and she unexpectedly gave me a high five! Treating people like people is always rewarding.

I have been charged in a federal indictment sought by the Department of Justice.

This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. I’m not backing down, and we’re going to win.

one of my favorite things is when the subject of a piece threatens a journalist and the journalist responds by casually printing everything very matter of factly

Across my FedBook feed, I am seeing some comrades coordinating and encouraging others to buy out street vendors so that those people aren't exposed to potential kidnapping. While it's beyond distressing to know how at risk they are, I am also taking so much heart in how people are moving to help.

You’ve probably heard but I have been federally indicted by Trump’s DOJ.

We now have to cover the costs of a campaign *and* a legal battle to preserve our First Amendment rights.
