There has never been a better argument for destroying capitalism than "if we can't make money off vaccines, then you don't get vaccines."
Hear me out: Publicly-funded vaccine research and everyone gets the vaccines for free.
posting is harmless provided you don't take it seriously- the second you start believing you're doing Important Work, that's when the madness takes hold
There is so much violence in this world - and the AI translation of whatever the fuck is happening in the Italian Winter Olympic ceremony is by far the most absurd example of it.
hamburger Patty: glad to meat you

Hamburger Helper: just add meat or something idk
Screenshot of an X.com post by The Associated Press (@AP) stating that dozens of immigrant families protested for better treatment behind fences at a Texas detention facility, where a 5-year-old Ecuadorian boy and his father were sent after being detained in Minnesota. Below is a video thumbnail showing a crowd gathered outdoors along a fenced walkway; many people wear bright blue or red outerwear, and some hold signs.
After being held in two of them as a boy, I fought for decades urging America to never again build concentration camps and put human beings in them. It breaks my heart to watch this happen twice now in my own lifetime.
A man told me yesterday that it was important to "take emotion out of the equation“ when analysing the situation in the US, at which point I told him very calmly that "a woman who disagrees with you is not necessarily emotional".
Ladies, it was a breakthrough.
I should have done this years ago.
I mean. They’re pretty real for that, it’s about as campy as they come.
I’m gonna send that with my first email of the day, no matter who it’s for. Hopefully it won’t be for a life insurance claim.
My favorite word mangle is NOT manger/manager. Though the mental picture always gets a snort. But mediate/meditate wins the mangle tangle all damn day.
If you're trying to ditch NYT Games, which you should be since their games singlehandedly prop up the entire dogshit rag financially, you should switch to Puzzmo. An annual sub is 50% off today for a crazy $19 and as a bonus doesn't enable the genocides of Palestinians and trans people
I quit them even tho I haaaaate the apple UI and you know what? It’s fine. My life is exactly as good even if I’m missing a few playlists.
I’ve already forgotten they existed and I’m not financially supporting (as much) evil. I’ll call it a win.

“Meta shut down internal research into the mental health effects of Facebook after finding causal evidence that its products harmed users’ mental health, according to unredacted filings in a lawsuit by U.S. school districts against Meta and other social media platforms.”
American minds were poisoned and conned by propaganda on Twitter.

If the 28-point plan came from Russia and somehow ended up in the hands of U.S. lawmakers, then we don’t have a “leak” problem we have a foreign influence problem. And anyone downplaying that should not be anywhere near national security decisions.
I think a lot about how much society pressures us to forgive people who don't think they actually need forgiveness
Good reminder.
You’re not a good person til you do good things and just being angry isn’t good
The desperate need to accumulate more and more at the cost of everyone else’s wellbeing should be classified as a mental disorder, and I will absolutely die on this hill.
The problem with this country is the lines to buy a lottery ticket are longer than the lines to vote.
Seeing Jane Fonda in person. Her sense of urgency re the political regime today is sobering. But also: 88!! Golldang— she’s got twice the energy and voice that I’ve got. Aspirations.
women should be weirder and more off putting
I once saw Jane Goodall hanging out in the meerkat exhibit at the Houston zoo. I honestly assumed she was animatronic. Until she spoke to me. She was gracious, funny, and kind.
The meerkats didn’t seem to mind hanging out with her, and they’re some anxious dudes. So she must have been pretty ok.
Y'all realize, of course, that if they do this successfully, there's absolutely nothing stopping them from listing gay people, Black people, or people under 5'6" as violent extremists, right? This lets them brand entire demographics as terrorists under FBI labeling if it is not stopped.
Sometimes it's nice to remember that even Marcus Aurelius was like "you don't have to comment on everything bro"

I think you have to use a lot of deeply textured fabric.
And googley eyes.
And a mouth hole that takes up +40% of the ear-to-ear latitude.
Here’s the ultra basic model.
I knew I loved you.
