The Specifics Hardly Matter

Before the law. He/him. King County, WA, 🇺🇸 Grant me the arrogance to correct the posts that are obviously wrong, the obtuseness to interrogate the posts that make no sense, and the incuriosity to scroll past both.

What was once before you, an exciting and mysterious future, is now behind you, lived, understood, disappointing. You realize you are not special. You have struggled into existence and are now slipping silently out of it. This is everyone's experience. Every single one.

I'm a shut-in. All celebrity news looks like this: 'LOOMERED: Milo Yiannopoulos is in ICE custody after I exposed his illegal alien lifestyle. Marjorie Traitor Greene hired Milo to work as her "intern" where he produced her podcast, wrote her book and lived at her house.'

It's depressing. It's frustrating that "Vote blue no matter who" only and always applies to cishet white men. On the flipside, antiblackness IS a reality. Still, I ALWAYS vote for who I think is the best candidate in a primary. Because for Black Americans, it's the "real" election.

The sailors on the USS Gerald Ford who keep stuffing their t-shirts into the toilets so the bathrooms flood and the carrier can’t deploy to Iran should be awarded a collective Nobel Peace Prize


In one four-day period in March 2025, engineers logged 205 maintenance calls. Sailors reported working up to 19-hour days to fix leaks and restore suction, with problems in a single head capable of disabling an entire section of the ship. Since 2023, the Navy has carried out at least 10 acid flushes, each costing about $400,000, though the procedure cannot be performed while the carrier is underway.

if i ever get fuck-off rich my hobby is going to be running for state legislatures that pay legislators $30,000 a year. top agenda item will be raising pay for legislators so normal people can afford to serve. as soon as i achieve that i will resign to live with my model wives on a yacht

If you're thinking about running for Portland City Council in D3 and you believe in legalizing more housing, creating diverse, welcoming, walkable neighborhoods, fighting freeway expansion, protecting important programs like Preschool for All... give primarying Senator Taylor a thought instead.

Frodo and Sam watch Gollum climb down the cliff face behind them, splayed like a spider. Sam tackles him. He fights, but Frodo draws his blade. ‘Let go! Gollum, this is Sting. You have seen it before once upon a time. Let go, or you’ll feel it this time! I’ll cut your throat.’
