honestly I think the main reason my enemies should never kill me is that true crime podcasts would give my funniest posts so much more reach imagine hating me so much you murder me and then you have to talk to every woman between 25 and 45 that you know about how funny I was

It was so damn depressing to watch every TV writer who was willing and eager to have open, intelligent conversations about their process get hounded off social by a combination of aggressive stans and belligerent wannabes defending the right to be a shithead to creatives

I keep thinking about the discourse from the other day suggesting writers are gatekeeping writing information for ourselves and I just think back to 2019 when every writer was out there giving away writing advice until one by one each stopped because social media blows and we can't have nice things.

Whitehouse: "Today I think is a sad and embarrassing day for this committee as it looks like on a party-line vote we are going to advance out of this committee probably the most discreditable person ever to seek the office of attorney general. Let's start with the Epstein files ... "

I have just been sent the transcript of a deposition my grandmother gave in 1977 while she was serving as an expert witness in a series of tribal rights cases and let me tell you, if nothing else this is proof that I come by it honest for every conceivable value of “it”

SILVER ALERTS: Hey everyone drop what you’re doing immediately and click this fucking link ALSO SILVER ALERTS: why would you all click this at once, are you insane, our servers can’t handle that

my Roman Empire is trying to figure out if the girl who shut down the LA Chess Club to vibe code a chess dating app that sucks is doing a bit about tech founders or just actually has this much AI psychosis

Michelle Kong in a substack branded graphic says “Almost sold my company last July for 100x less than what it’s worth today. Now I’m the youngest self made female billionaire in the world. Keep going (:”

this is a thing with so many political issues: any policy change is required to prove itself superior to the status quo in small, underfunded pilot programs and half-steps, and if that doesn’t work, the conclusion drawn is that policy change went TOO FAR

The core argument is that cities like Seattle are so addled by left-wing ideology that they have fallen into dystopia. In reality, the city has never adequately funded harm reduction programs and continues to rely on incarceration to address homelessness. What Powell wants is what we're doing.

A 58-year-old letter carrier collapsed & died on his mail route in triple-digit heat. He's the third DFW letter carrier to die since 2023. Yet House Republicans JUST advanced a bill to block the federal heat rule. Working shouldn't be a death sentence.

Despite high-profile deaths, ‘nothing has changed’ for USPS carriers working in heat

Less than half of Dallas-area postal workers have access to air conditioned vehicles, the USPS said in a statement.

some of y’all are like: god I’m so glad I’m off twitter, let me go see what’s happening on twitter so I can repost it to the site for people who don’t want to see what’s happening on twitter

I’ve seen labs where every student identified a skeletal specimen of a rattlesnake as an annelid, so I’m always skeptical of stories like this… but it kept getting weirder and more concerning. I don’t think this one’s on the students. Somebody fucked uuuuuuuup.

College lab class ends with 32 people on antibiotics for deadly germ exposure
