My reaction when it's clear YouTube is forcing bullshit news video suggestions (ofc Trump) in my feed that for YEARS has been clean of that shit from not watching it. Fuck you I'm not giving in to your rage-bait traffic I'll just delete your fucking service and stop paying for the subscription.
We Are the World broadcast. Was annoyed because my mother wouldn't let me watch the Ghostbusters music video the year before because she thought I would be too scared but I had to sit through that sappy song.

Dolly Parton decided to cover "Stairway to Heaven" as a gospel song, and asked Robert Plant for permission to write a new verse for it, and Robert Plant basically said "of course you can, you're Dolly Parton" youtu.be/YhTvxVxXJLQ

There is so much human suffering at the hands of the cruel unloved trolls running the government but this one, about slaughtering wild horses, struck me right between the eyes. Fuck these evil cretins and their handmaidens, apologists and dithering centrist D morons. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/20/u...
