My car developed a misfire under load and I was like "oh no... I'm doooooomed" Well, I forgot I had these sparkplugs in the glovebox I was supposed install them like 2 years ago. The plugs are supposed to be changed at 100,000 miles. Just turned 108k🫪 I don't think they've been changed at all!😬

205 incidents targeted Jewish individuals, an 8.5% rise from 189 in 2025, even though Jewish residents comprise roughly 10% of the city’s population. Again, Zohran is the Mayor of the people, uniting all New Yorkers. 🤔🤔🤔

The way that everyone sees fantom AI in original work now is such a fucked up secondary downstream AI nightmare consequence. People can’t critically identify real art any longer and so everything gets accused of not being original. I don’t know how we climb out of this hole.

To make it all make sense. A former Republican pastor of the Methodist Church has been "endorsed" by group called Mamdanification… This same pastor, I know from first hand accounts, forced a lesbian minister out of the church and leads a conservative anti LGBT congregation. "Regressives" is real

This anti abortion group really spun the shit out of their position and are using voter ignorance to nullify their wishes. It's impressive and I honestly was astounded how effectively obfuscating the message was. They're going to win, and it's disappointing

Never forget. Lindsey Graham filled Strom Thurmond’s senate seat. The seat Graham’s sister is occupying and will be fighting to keep, originally belonged to the open segregationist, the longest serving senator in history. America is entirely rooted in anti-Black racism. Period.

I haven't seen it anywhere today, so I guess ill bring it up. It was 10 years ago today that Baltimore police murdered 23yr old Korryn Gaines and also shot her young son, who survived. Names like Korryn Gaines are why the #SayHerName movement began, as Black women's names are often forgotten

Then 23 year old Korryn Gaines and her young son taking a selfie in the car

VP Kamala Harris: These midterms are coming up, check your voter registration status. Make sure you aren't someone whose names got purged inappropriately. Turning out the vote in the greatest numbers we have ever seen, so that in this environment where they're cheating, we will be too big to rig.
