IMO they should make a “Pauly Pocket” (a little Italian mobster where you pop open a little box and there’s a business/front inside with all his friends)
There is no actual difference, re: which parts of our brains light up in a scan, between enjoying something ironically and enjoying it unironically.
Man, everything is so bleak, anyone got a fun fact or little bit of trivia they want to share

first they came for trans people and i wasn’t quiet, i spoke up, i said “are you really going to die on this hill? there’s an election to win!” because i am not trans.
If he ends up being the Democrat on the presidential ticket in 2028, you would rather vote republican or not vote at all because of this issue?? That’s the million dollar question. Not the hill I would die on and def not worth losing an election over!

I’m incredibly sore and fatigued from my covid booster to the point of difficulty moving around, and… well, I don’t want to be one of *those* cat parents, so I’ll say I think there’s a 50% chance that Huckleberry knows something’s off.

Update on this: new parent hormone is real and thank God for it.
I would like to know why more people don't talk about the horrible, traumatizing hell that is the first week of pet parenthood. My theory is that New Parent Hormones makes people forget. (I will never forget.)

So now that I've heard TCW labeled "Wa-Luigi Coates" I'll never think of him any other way.
Would hate to have to work with Wa-Luigi Coates on a group project
Imagine looking around America in 2025 and thinking, "What we need less of is morality."

DC statehood now
These 20 House Democrats just joined Republicans in voting to fully repeal DC's police reform laws.
Wiping off the books critical laws on use of force, transparency, and preventing violent cops from getting rehired.
They think that they should have more say over DC police than the people of DC.

TODAY IS MY BIRTHDAY. If you want to help me celebrate, please tell me what you are doing to make the world a better place!
My birthday is in just under a month, and I have a request for the days between now and October 13:
Do something--even something very small--to make the world a better place. Engage. Resist. Donate. Protest. Volunteer. Agitate. Facilitate.
And then come here and tell me about it.

federal agents stealing children and sending them south. where have i heard about that before?
ICE kidnapped a 7th-grader with a pending asylum claim and spirited him out of state without notifying his parents, seemingly with the cooperation of the local police in Everett, MA.

Thiessen having a good chuckle about his fired liberal colleagues - some of whom he worked with for 15 years - is a good reminder that token conservatives at mainstream news outlets are/were there to destroy them, not to contribute to them.
