As a child growing up in Australia I heard tell of a drink called “Coca-Cola.” But never did I see such a thing until the day I landed on American soil.
As usual with these panels, the overwhelming characteristic is nonexistent or false information. Every call to understand and empathize with Trump voters (which is fine in the abstract!) needs to grapple with this.

Chris we are all about to die under fascism, please get to the macking ASAP
gonna spend every day until April 17 arguing with myself about the connotative differences between "teased" and "touched on"

I love a random Simpsons reference
Mr. Modi, President Trump's presidency seems to have the momentum of a runaway freight train. Why is he so popular?

“LGBQ+” is not a thing, you craven fuck-knuckles. Trans people are the reason Stonewall means anything.
‼️ The National Park Service has REMOVED mentions of transgender people being involved with Stonewall. Not only did the remove the world "Transgender" but changed "LGBTQ+" to "LGBQ+".

The federal government is attempting to erase us and take away our history.

This pride, we riot.

The fact that he’s being a cutesy little edgelord while talking about how he just actively enabled children’s deaths en masse… Fuck this racist sociopath.

The Democrats’ dereliction is one of the most upsetting parts of all this. HELP, for the love of fuck.

Fuck you if you voted for him. Truly fuck you forever, get the fuck away from me.
stopping the flow of HIV drugs to poor countries and demanding that foreign doctors stop distributing the meds already sitting in their clinics is so evil it is hard to wrap my head around. one day when when this is all history i will struggle to forgive anyone who voted for him

Wow, really makes you think. Thanks, for devoting space to this, New York Times.

I am going to put together a thread covering Trump's second inauguration. Follow along for clips and commentary.

(Below is a clip of Biden and Harris arriving.)

Maaaan I wish the plot of this film hadn’t been so horrifically boring and irrelevant. What a waste!

Be careful if you order something from an Apple Store and it gets delivered by “courier” (Uber Eats). My laptop delivery got intercepted by someone posing as my brother. He was waiting on my block and somehow knew my name, cross streets, and the exact time of delivery.

Okay I know I’m late to this, but what is causing so many OC showrunners to peace out?! It’s just bizarre.

Post a perfect album from the 90s that isn't Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, or Alice in Chains.

Oh, Lord. Joe and Mika went to Mar-a-lago. "What we did agree on," Mika said, "was to restart communications." Access. "He seemed interested in finding common ground with Democrats." Credulity. They revert to their mean.

Should I become the type of over-40 lady who wears multiple bracelets simultaneously? Seems chic with a hint of bohemian.

Felt so good to deactivate my Twitter accounts just now. I am CLEANSED.

SAME. The story about her writing a letter to him while sitting 6 feet away on a private plane coming back from the Emmys?!
the lore revealed in that DD/GA podcast episode is so oddly healing to teenage me? i desperately need to know which seasons they hated each other BTS

also the fact that he didn't tell her he was quitting??? i never considered it a possibility for c and m but liiiike how did it actually go down
