I personally have never gotten over the shock of @nickbryner.bsky.social and I discovering the hard way that he used to name search himself on twitter 🫥

you mean you didn't find zeldin's presser a shining example of clear communication?

darth my dogwalker found this creature on a walk, any idea what it is?

"The vibes are bad," said Meredith Hankins, a senior attorney at the Natural Resources Defense Council.

my Very Serious Professional Opinion on what's happening at EPA

nothing like whining about “pronoun policing” (not even a link on that?) when since Day One, Trump has been using the power of the state to police pronouns on passports, erase mentions of trans people from landmarks to the CDC and NIH, confine trans women in federal prisons to men’s facilities…

everyone reading this who's texted me in the last 6 months and I forgot to reply: yup, checks out

joke's on them I'm already extremely good at immediately forgetting a text message exists after I get it

A frequently memed still from a Simpsons episode where Homer is reminding Bart that it's only the worst day of his life "so far"

I may be sitting in 2,071st place overall in @vulture.com's movie fantasy league following the Globes noms, but pleased to report I'm 2nd in the all important Team Names Involving Phil's Tire Town Challenger category

Wild that you can be a sitting Supreme Court justice and totally unaware of the history of discrimination against LGBTQ folks and the ways in which gender expression/identity has been lumped into that

Sure, Alito is mad that Dobbs doesnt trump Bostock but he's even more mad that Elizabeth Prelogar is a vastly better lawyer than he is
