JFC 🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️
Whoa, you were rich! 🤦🏼♀️
In HS, I was paid under $2.50 USD when I was a waitress. Lower than minimum wage. Because, obviously I was raking in tips. At a diner. There is no way that I made minimum wage.
I've been warning people about this for over two decades. Almost everyone said that I was a conspiracy theorist. Even after I pointed to conservative religious websites that stated, unequivocally, that abolishing hormonal birth control was necessary. They said that the goal was to control women.
Ooph. That stings.
This is an awesome thread.
Oh, wow. My first job was babysitting in the mid 80s. $1.00 USD per hour.

💯 I have different bags for washroom, pantry, fridge, freezer. It is soooo much easier to unpack. How do people not know this?
Black women have every right to be furious. The irresponsible choices of white voters has for many of us, taken our livelihood with consequences for our homes, the education of our children, our ability to care for parents. It’s unconscionable. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/31/u...
So, as far as I can tell, they don't say that he was driving. Which of course brings up the question of how he can pay for a chauffeur, but not restitution to Shay Moss and Ruby Freeman. These people are soulless ghouls.
Weirdest press release in recent memory. Quite revealing.
Am I the only person adding Expedalidocious to the end of that sentence?
It's the judiciary or bust for the US. These judges are just doing their jobs. And, I thank them for doing it well.
I'm with Captn here. A lot of people south of the border (north, if you're in Windsor) do not understand that we don't trust US institutions to protect against military aggression. I'm from the US. So I have both perspectives. #ElbowsUp
Anyone who is a Trump supporter is an evil ghoul. If this actually went ahead without judicial intervention, I'm guessing that senior adviser Nosferatu would gleefully say that exactly 1488 children were deported. These people are evil.
Yup!
Lordy. I was a year old when that song came out.
KISS should tour again. Hot, hot, hotter than hell!
Somehow, this screenshot is perfect.
The US government is implementing child trafficking. Where are the pizza-gate freaks when this happening now. Oh, right. They just wanted to take down the perceived enemy with bs allegations. They didn't give, and still don't give, f-all about actual child trafficking.
Oh, wow. That sounds awesome!
Now, *these* are baby carrots. Miniature peanut butter cup for reference. (Narrator voice: they need a few more weeks in the ground)
The Golden Pantaloons made me chuckle. Long live Baldur's Gate!
*Inflatable It's clear what people are searching for.
Inflation screen? No, you need Giant Inflatable Beavers in order to do proper science. share.google/images/Yd5At...
What's going to happen to JPL?
Now I am going full ADD, and the Daily Show theme music is running through my head on auto-replay. Could be worse. But, still.
Oof. Solidarity.
Your moment of zen.
Yes. It's amazing to see. I don't get it. But, I suppose that we aren't his target audience.
Every day brings multiple new horrors from that person's deranged vocal chords. And most of the MSM looks the other way. (I never expected to describe vocal chords as deranged, but here we are)
😮
Thank you! I searched for @sarah... but her handle didn't come up.
I've been to DC many times. Even as a teenager, I never felt unsafe. I know it's not profound, but Stephen Miller is an idiot.
I'm so sorry @nmr900.bsky.social @uottawanmr.bsky.social And why can I not find Sarah Cady?
Lol. Great minds and all. I just posted that gif.
Insane
As Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro points out, the president can "sign whatever executive order he wants to sign -- but it won't change the Constitution." votefromabroad.org #VoteFromAbroad #DemocratsAbroad
Um. They have nationalised a company. I shouldn't be surprised.
That ship sailed a long time ago. Stephen Harper hired Karl Rove's consulting firm over a decade ago.
Speaking as a Chinese person, in the Chinese culture, money is often given to others in a gesture of bribery.

California is a donor state. We gave $83.1 billion more to the federal government than we got back. Texas and Arkansas are recipient states. They received more from the federal government than they gave. Facts matter.
There’s probably no connection between Trump’s post suggesting slavery wasn’t that bad, his restoration of monuments honoring Confederates, and renaming of military bases to honor traitors who believed that it was simply a property right being taken from them without just cause.
I guess I don't count, because I'm an expat. Totally deliberate to disenfranchise overseas voters. I don't know how this affects military personnel.
Harriet Jacobs' slave narrative is less discussed than others in part because it focuses on this aspect of slavery.
Hug your loved ones. Reach out to people you haven't interacted with for some time. Make room for yourself. Life is too fucking short, so be your best self. Whatever that means for you. Fuck.
Wow, that looks amazing.
Should have specified front/back Wiener dog corn skewers.
OMG Would be perfect for a salad to accompany corn on the cob, using our front/back corn skewers.
We're complaining about cold temperatures and So.Much.Rain But, I'd rather that then the province burning down.
The @wnba.com has condemned this Every woman should be outraged Donald Trump Jr posted a vile photo hacked image of his dad throwing a dildo off the roof of the WHITEHOUSE The MSM should be all over this They said it's a prank Do YOU find anything funny? Imagine if this was Hunter Biden
Is it still SK and MB?
ETTD was a prophecy.
A lot of people have critised me for ditching my family, but it's one of the best decisions I've ever made. Self preservation tactic.
I do too, unfortunately. I don't get how people can be so cruel. I just don't get it.
I'm reminded of when Sarah Palin made derogatory comments about drosophila research.
Authoritarians typically are. People think that he's charismatic. I don't get it. But, somehow, many people do. And the combination of ignorance and charisma lead to authoritarianism. #Mussolini Now that's a hashtag that I never expected to type.
It's so awful. Sadly, predictable.

This is absolutely awful. I'm so sorry for students. Come to Canada. We're not the powerhouse that the US is (was? That was difficult to type), but you'll have a great experience in your studies, and we do very well at having students find jobs that they want.
It says everything that Republicans are working harder to arrest Texas Democrats than anyone on the Epstein list.
This is completely insane. Drag shows in Equador was not on my list of priorities to think about, let alone lead to funding decisions.
Well, that was a mistake about furthest east. Probably Cairns.
These people are so awful.
Ah, good grief. Swartz
I'd say 'may the swart be with him', but that would do a massive disservice to Mel Brooks.
I'm assuming that means you've been to Pacifichem?

They're going after Lawrence next, aren't they. I've seen so many human rights disintegrate in my lifetime.
RV toilet paper
I know, right? I just don't have words to describe this.
🚨 Deadline extended! You now have until Aug. 15, 2025, to submit your symposia proposals for the #x2026 conference. Let your ideas help shape the conversation—take advantage of the extra time! buff.ly/QYoprDL
Cool. I'm 52. Can I join? (Note to self, get off social media now)
This is either a Tribble or a toilet brush. And, given the news coming out of the US, I'm okay with this.
Good grief. That's... not a long flight. I've been lucky this year, in my ~60 miles in three months. 👀 I do not recommend it. Also, go Card!
It'll never stop. At least in my lifetime. Pizzagate was a mirror on MAGA.
Wait, THAT comment was flagged as intolerant? Well, I'm damned proud to be intolerant.
Not the most professional comment that I've ever made.
Dying. I hadn't thought about Lobster Man in years, and I'm a Canadian academic.
Amazing. The venerable Library of Congress, folx. Not a coding error. bsky.app/profile/libr...
I am so completely disgusted. And people wondered why I was on the National and Global in April saying that I won't go into the US, despite being a citizen.
No. Not a coding error. Deliberate.
Finally. Some good news today. Awesome work, Crudden and group. As soon as I saw NHC and gold, I knew which group. 🥂
Thank you for making me laugh. Especially since I recently found out that the [redacted] Trump administration has removed inconvenient parts of the US Constitution. On an official website. I wish that I were joking. Fffffffffff...
I've had five antibiotics in the last four months. I'm begging certain parasites to come back. There isn't enough yogurt in the world...
Apparently, the Trump administration just changed the US Constitution. If that doesn't alarm you, I don't know what will.
*in Pasadena 🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️
Very true. Including some who were let back into the country, despite human trafficking.
I'm really glad that some people make it their life's work to study this. I am... angry, appalled, sickened. And, I have no clue what to do. My vote is on Pasadena. It's not going red any time soon. Apart from phone-banking, I have no idea what to do.
I feel ill. Getting some Gravol.
I don't know who this guy is, but, with this post, he's my Wednesday hero.
The farther I go in this thread, the more amazing the comments. At least I get to see the funny stuff, and don't have to endure the original raw steak and eggs idiots. I'm grossed out by raw egg white in a cocktail. Do these guys know that Dr Suess wasn't a recipe book?
🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️
OMG, if ever I were to get a tattoo? This would be it.
Is this p-hacking? (I'm ashamed to post this, but Carlson is a toxic person, so I feel justified.)
