and sincerely, fuck everything Charging Bull stands for but, "I snuck an 11'x16' bronze statue that weighs 3 AND A HALF FUCKING TONS into the financial district of Manhattan in the cover of night" should earn you the Nobel fucking Prize
It's Surrender Cobra season!
Why do you appreciate unions? Iāll start: Weekends off Paid vacations Work breaks Sick leave Paid holidays No child labor Safer working conditions Health care and retirement benefits
Atomwaffen = accelerationist neo-Nazis, for those wondering they think they can force the collapse of democratic liberalism with enough violence
RFK is cutting us off from vaccines.
in other news I know this is an issue bc Nick Offerman is not a Yid (yeah, I genuinely believe in authentic rep in casting) but uh if they were ever gonna do a movie about the Rebbe (they'd fuck it up if they were, I know) (I'm just SAYING, look)
Horny on main, for lyfe
This is, unfortunately, the future sci-fi novels promised me.

Ladies, if you worry he'll fight a divorce, just let him buy a Cybertruck.
IF he opts to leave office, watch him transfer the ownership to his own company/himself.
Forever my vibe.
When a top CDC scientist resigns citing eugenicist rhetoric from federal health agencies, everyone should absolutely be paying attention.
When Satire Isn't.
Not even 0800 and I just watched some dipshit have a crashout in a thread defending Margaret Fucking Thatcher. In TYooL 2025. I'm going back to bed.
The young people who would have been most likely to lead the domestic anti-fascist fight in 2025 were repeatedly arrested, beat, jailed, mocked by elites and non-elites over the past 5 years. This was bipartisan. I find it interesting whenever some people ask 'where the young people are' now.
not to be dramatic but i get genuinely emotional watching a show like game changer that proudly builds its brand on working professionals respecting and loving each other to the point of creation
Believe it or not, layoffs.
this is genuinely baffling to me. $80k a year to help a professional writer produce one 800-word column a week?
Unboxing the new Quiet Year! This is a hand-stamped box that's the perfect size to hold the how to play booklet, cards, skull tokens, and little wooden dice.

only gonna say this once you can acknowledge that Gavin Newsome is at least doing something to stand up to Trump, you can even like what he's doing but you must also acknowledge that he is a politician who is willing to sacrifice trans people choose your path accordingly. I know where I stand.
Hahahaha that's PROBABLY Verizon. Comcast is the lowest in PGH.
Are they the lines mounted higher or lower on the pole? The lower lines are usually comms lines, and power are the top lines. That will help ID who to call!
On my mind recently: "It's All Nothing 'Till It's Everything."
do you ever talk to someone you work with and instantly feel dumber
Respectfully, this is at least 5 steps.
Genuinely funny that MAGA voters think Trump is really going to beat China when China is already running laps around the U.S. in so many sectors, and the rest of the world decades ahead of where we are, because Republicans have destroyed our innovation because God told them to fear science.
Finally started decorating my machine.
Use your Karen powers for good, fellow white women.
The problem is I spent my whole life learning useful skills and following the rules. So I'm totally useless in the Trump economy.
I'll take it.
My fellow Americans... Are you willing to die to protect your neighbors, for even a MOMENT? Because that's what's coming. I've heard firsthand stories of pre-war Italy, and can connect dots.
You didn't kill Jecki. That means you rank higher in my book, anyway.
You're telling me a shrimp fried this radioisotope?
Yāall pushed so hard to elect Corey OāConnor but are silent about the fact that he hasnāt been attending Jail Oversight Board meetings. Today he violated state statute by sending an illegal designee to vote in his place. STOP ELECTING LAZY WHITE MEN WHO DONāT DO SHIT FOR MARGINALIZED PEOPLE.
Remember when they said things would be cheaper with no CD production costs?
MF killed full-grown Jedi faster than Vader could take out the younglings.
All Generative Systems will be able to give you is literally the most average and predictable versions of what you're asking for. How the fuck is that art?!
My favorite review of Wednesday season 2 so far: "Jenna Ortega is carrying the show on her back like a reluctant goth Atlas."
If you have friends & family in DC, check in on them. When the military + local police presence + curfew hit its zenith in DTLA, I got so down.. Familiar spaces & walks were not the same, & at times it felt like my home was not my own. Community, both near & far, is really important right now.
My belief that we had built a comfortable life, not excessive but nice, was swept away. It is fragile and fraught with decisions you canāt control. Hereās the truth about housing after a divorce - Pittsburgh Lesbian Correspondents www.pghlesbian.com/2025/08/here...

hey everybody who could've guessed that defunding transit in PA would have negative impacts outside of pittsburgh and philly?!
Liberals here in the States went from Broadly Anti-AI to Gleeful Resharing because some corpo-fuck Democrat in California made fun of Trump with it. The bar is in hell, but I refuse to let go of chaotic whimsy.
this comes up so regularly in our house. both of us feel so underwater already.
Zelensky should bring a gun.
āIt is deeply irresponsible to lure kids into becoming Pirates fans before theyāre emotionally equipped to handle the kind of disappointment and chronic underperformance this franchise will almost certainly inflict on them.ā Thank you, @theonion.com for making our day!
Trump just vowed to ban mail-in ballots and voting machines, citing debunked lies about voter fraud. Anyone that wants to make it harder to vote is sending a clear message: they can't win on their ideas alone. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
It's going to come to that, since Biden exterminated the rule of law in his idiotic obsession with appeasement and optics over justice or duty. His pardon storm actually did a lot more harm than good. It was a short-sighted, idiotic attempt to compensate for his cowardly refusal to uphold his oath.
While our attention keeps getting pulled in so many directions, the US continues to coerce other countries into serving as sites for its ongoing renditions. One way to track these disappearances is to stay on top of the data - big thanks to @humanrightsfirst.org for keeping this info flowing.
Itās wild to think about how people feel that MeToo, Black Lives Matter, etc went too far as we watch the rights of women and the safety of Black people being further stripped away. It is just part of the same pattern as weāve always seen: any inch towards equality is seen as an existential danger.
This idea that death in a video game equals failure to be judged by others is such a deeply insidious part of "gaming."
i suppose this is the logical endpoint of several currently ongoing trends. people mistaking discomfort for harm. people not understanding what art is and their relationship to it. people taking their feelings and making it everyone else's problem. don't show this person half life
I wonder if the Florida AG is going to charge her for an illegal abortion?
Fuckin DUH

Sure this seems excessive, but look at everything they got off the streets.
Me: "Not going to touch that most-recent fascism with a 12-inch ..." Also me:
Nothing says "End of Summer" like white-knuckling a family vacation, getting irradiated at a PET scan, and cutting a wrestling promo about birth control. My life is weird.
After 5 years of virtual meetings being the norm, I don't have a ton of patience for "mixing up the timezones" when I send a calendar invite AND include the time in all participants' zones in the body of the email.
DC Statehood is a voting rights issue. DC Statehood is a racial justice issue. DC Statehood is a gun safety issue. DC Statehood is a reproductive justice issue.
Canāt believe this happened again.
Our state Supreme Court handles state-specific issues that impact our daily lives. On November 4, 2025, Pennsylvanians will be voting on whether to retain our current judges. #PACourtsMatter #PAVotes #StayInformed
Mike Judge doesn't get enough credit for co-writing and directing one of the greatest films about America ever made. It's the CITIZEN KANE of the 21st century.
"DONT"
Something I rarely see discussed: If higher-ups in a company are posting job openings, but none of the workers who handle the actual day-to-day operations are reposting those openings, there's a reason. It's their warning to stay away, as they can not in good conscience encourage people to apply.
"the republican-controlled senate has yet to take any of them up for consideration" harrisburg's dysfunction in a nutshell
Four separate faculty members have reached out to me personally to let me know how upset they were that I got let go, and that they and others gave our department head a hard time in two different faculty meetings about the decision. It doesn't change the outcome, of course, but it is nice to hear.
"Southern Italy is just Northern Africa, and Northern Italy is just Southern France. That's just science."

I'm told this is true.

I got a flu booster today and it made me reflect on the sense of national accomplishment I felt when I drove to a public facility, waited in my car until my number was called on an app, and got my first covid jab. It's fucked the right gets to erase what a moment of technological liberation that was
PBS Passport for $60 a year and well worth it. As they say, defunded but not defeated. Please consider donating to your local PBS station. They need you!
an enormous number of problems with modern society trace back to the widespread acceptance of fraud and lying more generally and we should change that a functional future DOJ should massively crack down on this kind of behavior
