“you’re too old for fandom” is ridiculous. i only want to read fanfiction written by people old enough to know what the citrus scale is.

monica lewinsky's boss exploited his position of power and she faced literally decades of mass harassment, cruelty, objectification, and misogynistic jokes and here we are in 2025, comedians still use her name as synonymous with blowjobs, i fucking hate it here.
It’s already happening. Case in point the sheer number of tiresome people making this crack today

I need everyone who uses AI to generate art & text to notice what Vince Gilligan says here. You're surrendering your brain, your creativity, the divine spark within you to a machine. Someday you'll wake up and find you're no longer capable of writing or thinking. And for what?

There’s no reason ever again for any Democrat to suggest moderating on trans rights. There was never a moral reason but now there’s no political reason either.
Somebody tell Gavin Newsom and Pete Buttigieg. it’s joe-ver.

this is a fun one because actually like how unpopular of a sitting VP do you have to be to offer absolutely zero boost to a relative's election chances
JD Vance's half-brother has lost by an overwhelming margin as he tried to become the mayor of Cincinnati.
Democratic incumbent Aftab Pureval wins reelection.
