People, Wired, Teen Vogue have consistently met the moment better than most legacy media- and considering the high quality reporting their reporters are still doing, this is all the fault of those in the C suite.
Oh I lean into it sometimes and make them watch old memes. I showed them the hamster dance as my walking to school up hills both ways story.
I explained today that in 2000s nobody was lcalling before 9 pm unless there was an emergency or sending text messages bc they were 10¢ each (which is why we all used excel instead).
Y’all the feral little gremlins (fully grown 18-22 year old college students I teach) are 1000% going to ask me about this in case to see how hard I sigh.
They don’t actually know how government works OR they think this is bigger and better OR he thinks this will last longer?
Also, please join my campaign to bring back calling people posers for the low low cost of absolutely nothing but submitting yourself to this dumpster fire.
But wait— this offer isn’t limited to the USA! If you’re from one of those countries with extra vowels, try bringing back poseur instead.
Same.
Also my god the bad faith arguments. SBA’s done cooked their brains on Facebook glurge
Remember, Larry Summers had a degree.
Y’all. The lack of degree is not the problem. Him being a punk ass poser is.
Also is Lewdoskey or whatever (no, I don’t respect him enough to look up what his name actually is) gone too or is he still running DHS with Miller?
He totally fired her because she blamed him.
But also, I’m not against your second option either. Why not?
I mean I do it because it’s funny and I’m not above going to Xmas next year to give everyone a “who’s a cafeteria Catholic now?” (Also there’s a lot of pain in previous church leadership ignoring stuff but still finding the time to deny communion to pro-choice politicians)
A tuxedo cat watching Saja Boys finale
Decided since the kid was watching one piece I’d put on K pop demon hunters. Turns out, kid is annoyed but me and the cat are into it:
In keeping with today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme of #ShoutItOut, check out this handsome little barn swallow. I saw him singing his heart out trying to attract a female. Don’t know if he eventually got a girl, but if he didn’t it wasn’t due to a lack of effort! #Birds 🪶
I will say I’ve never had a bad iced tea from there (this is referring to unsweetened; don’t drink sweet) until yesterday. They actually do brew it and it’s not the powder tea mix.
ISNT THERE ENOUGH PAIN IN THE WORLD?!?
It’s Azealia Banks. All her posts are troll posts and it’s quite possible she’s doing this because she just thinks it’s funny or wants to start something. I would not rely on her until she pulls out receipts.
Oh man. Needs to join the support group with @mattgertz.bsky.social and @hakeemjefferson.bsky.social
They don’t bake them in store anymore and it’s Russian roulette every time you go. Either your drink is perfectly fine or it’s been made by someone who has never seen coffee making whatever they imagine an “iced latte” could be. The rush before the 1st sip is the only emotion allowed btw Jan- May
Suggesting that they don’t believe other people are real is the nicest thing I can say about these asshats. Also, screw sending Barron to war. Send every appointee under the age of 40.
It’s a cat. He’s sleeping.
Okay this is being muted. You’ll have to come yell at me elsewhere.
Anyway here’s a cat:
Habibi they didn’t even tell Congress why would they tell you?
Y’all I just saw a video that’s a guy asking how he’s supposed to leave the Middle East and some MVP left this comment:
No I think there’s a place for it all— literature and fiction are places where you can play with those ideas BUT it has to be on purpose. When it’s not, it gets weird and uncomfortable fast. It’s the you can’t start breaking the rules until you know what they are.
I’m entirely powered by a low simmering rage.
Yeah it’s very much the cake thing. You have to be aware if your villain is a villain, an anti-hero, misguided or whatever and — above all— forgivable by the person they are currently with. But yeah the whole wanting what you shouldn’t is a thing for a reason.
Look desecrating religious sites never has negative consequences. Nobody is ever attached to them unreasonably.
Cop-out. Jesus what a brain fart.
