This whole decade is all about conservatives getting basically everything they want and realizing that what they want sucks and everybody hates them
i don't know if the new #scrubs is going to be good but i'm having a pretty rough time lately and the nostalgia and the bits and the theme song did just make me cry
i guess i forgot how much i truly did love this show
so i hope it's good
i am going to walk into the sea
what the actual fuck are we doing here
im sick and my #1 pho place is too far to get delivered and my #2 pho place is closed on wednesdays and i just may not actually survive
oh also every single roundup of "cRazy stuff that happened on ANTM!!!!!" that I have seen in the last 2 weeks includes at least one fake story #RealityCheck
the 9/11 one and the "keep your baby" one are both fake
i feel like that should be obvious but whatever
it is FASCINATING (and very funny) seeing the tone of the documentary Tyra clearly thinks she is a part of
#RealityCheck
my favorite fact about ANTM discourse is that people love to share the story about "this girl's friend died and the week she found out they made her pose as a dead body"
and sometimes people disagree abt whether the pic was in a coffin or not
bc yall they did it twice
Kahlen in S4 and Jael in S8
hello i am a certified ANTM Knower (TM) logging on to watch this docuseries
so what i'm learning from the women's short is that it is better to try to finish a rotation and fall than to pop out of the jump early and not fall
im sure it's been like that forever and i'm just new, but what a great way to incentivize making the less safe choice and risking injury #olympics
every 8 months people rediscover the fact that gwyneth paltrow can be very interpersonally charming and likeable
like yes, you guys. she was a massive loveable movie star
that's not like, what we're talking about when we talk about gwyneth. focus
wow this is completely breaking my heart #olympics
i wish johnny would say i have supple ankles and bouncy knees
but of course it would be a lie, so
one thing i liked about twitter was being in conversation with my own thoughts from up to 13 years ago
what if i just screenshot my own twitter archive
any way it's this time of year again
that was like a perfect hollywood sports movie except at the end the villains win for no clear reason #Olympics
i usually don't root AGAINST anybody but they both suck in real life AND i didn't see anything to convince me they were actually better. boo! very boo
Tara and Johnny are extra fun commentating the men because they're both transparently a little bit horny but for totally different skaters.
imagine how fast the luge could go if they put a team of curlers sweeping in front of them
im not a regular football watcher but one of those teams seemed to be just straightforwardly better at football
big year for Americans re: guys named Ilya who play winter sports #Olympics #HeatedRivalry
Living in Minnesota right now means getting your heart broken every day, multiple times a day. Some days it also means having your faith in humanity restored. Please keep watching Minnesota, if you live elsewhere. Things are still dire.
Incrementalism as an excuse for doing nothing is bad. Incrementalism as an alternative to doing nothing is a part of the history of almost everything we have won that's worth winning.

seeing a lot of reactions to chappelle's grammys outfit so as a queer woman who has done a lot of reading about red carpet fashion and fashion history i wanted to add some context
BARK BARK BARK AWOOOOOGA AWOOOOGA BOI-OI-OI-OI-OI-OI-OING BARK BARK BARK
hope that helps
Here's a good jumping off point for support: www.standwithminnesota.com
The political press very clearly understands “truth” as a social agreement, a compromise position between everyone important enough to have an opinion. It did not reflect on how this would allow dedicated liars to go all-in on lies again and again and dramatically shift the position.
I realise I'm just a freak, but living in a multicultural city is the best thing of all time, it's just the best possible human experience and i can not understand why anyone on earth would be like "weve got to destroy this"
They don’t know who they’re taking because:
-they don’t talk to them
-they’re random pedestrians
It is literally indistinguishable from a kidnapping when you see it, except there are so many of them, and they are more heavily armed and armored than any kidnapper would ever be.
Screenshot of a data visualization titled “The Cost of American Exceptionalism,” subtitled “What would change if the U.S. matched the OECD average?” The page explains that each card shows how outcomes would change if the U.S. matched the average of 31 peer democracies. Below, a section labeled “Economy & Inequality” displays eight cards comparing U.S. figures to OECD averages. Highlights include: +$19K per household per year in redistributed income and +$96K in redistributed wealth if the top 1% matched OECD shares; a 71% lower CEO-to-worker pay ratio (from 354× to 101×); 50 million more workers with union coverage; 26 million more people with health insurance; $2.1 trillion saved annually in healthcare spending; $691 less per person per year in prescription drug costs; and intergenerational economic mobility being twice as high. Each card shows the U.S. value alongside the OECD average.
If there's one empirical insight I'd want everyone to understand about American politics, it's this:
America's problems are solved problems. Just not here.
What would change if the US simply matched the average of 31 peer democracies? Not Denmark or Norway. Just the middle of the pack. 🧵
