Hey guys, Perez Hilton performed self-harm and may have attempted a suicide on TikTok and screenshots are flying around, so if you are sensitive, go put "Perez Hilton" in your mutes right now.

Reminder to everyone living with smoky air right now: DRINK MORE WATER. You're inhaling particulate even if you can't see it, your body needs to flush that crud out, and it needs water to do so. You're probably gonna produce more mucus and that's annoying, but it's helping clean out the crud.

“The extension of the National Guard deployment in Washington, D.C. until January 2029 will cost roughly $1.4 billion, according to a Defense Department estimate provided to Congress.“ This is insane.

OMG I got a Tahari suit at auction for ten bucks and I picked up yesterday and tried it on today and it actually fits and I look like Romy & Michele being businesswomen who do business, which, if I'm being honest from the depths of my heart, is exactly the effect I was secretly hoping for.

Please do what you can - boost or donate - to help Ahmed and his family.

Micheeel@micheeel.bsky.social · yesterday

🚨 Ahmed is losing his fight. A deadly virus is destroying his tiny body. His fever rises, painful sores cover his skin, he can barely breathe, cannot eat or sleep, cries in terrible pain, and grows weaker every hour. Please save my little boy before it is too late. !!💔🙏 chuffed.org/project/1905...

I saw this episode maybe 14 years ago & it is ridiculous how often I think of this woman & wonder if she ever got smarter or if she's just stuck on a landing somewhere powerless with indecision & also if the realtor ran away to live on an island only big enough for one house & no dock.

Jill Weinberger@jillybobww.bsky.social · 22h ago

My mom loved House Hunters, so when I was taking care of her I watched a lot of it, & there was one where the woman walked into a house & said, "I don't like split levels because you walk in & have to immediately decide whether to go up or downstairs" & I think of her ALL THE TIME b/c what.

That's what taxes are, man. That's the definition of taxes. "You are subsidizing things you might never use" man shut the fuck up. My taxes currently subsidize like oil company exec private jets, you think I'm upset at low-income people eating inexpensive bananas?

Opinion: Mamdani's idea may sound appealing, but it's NYC taxpayers who will take the hit, subsidizing discounts they may never even use.

Today in Stuff Jill Finds at Auction, these cast iron figurines are so cool. I don't know anything about them, but I think they were probably used in some kind of puppet-theatre-style show. I hope more people bid on them so they get too expensive for me b/c I find them so compelling & must resist.

“Michael Sol Warren and Arya Sundaram reported that more than 70 people held at Delaney Hall have filed federal suits alleging medical neglect, and that more than 30 of them say they were denied prescribed medication for chronic conditions.”

“He is the second man to die after being held at Delaney Hall. Jean Wilson Brutus, a 41-year-old man from Haiti, died on December 12, 2025, the same day ICE detained him, and ICE attributed that death to natural causes.”

This apparently happened underneath (and maybe because of of) a sign she had hung on her house that said: "National Guard Stop Being So Embarrassing."

"Get away from me right now," King, a retired U.S. Army captain who served in Iraq and earned both a Purple Heart and a Bronze Star, can be heard telling the three male guard members in the video as they approach her on the bench. "You have absolutely no authority to detain me."

"don't make enough money" is a fig leaf All those degree programs--social work, art, etc.--have disproportionately female student bodies. This is designed to make it harder for women to attend college--college education being a key factor in women's autonomy from men & left-leaning voting pattern.

President Trump is banning students majoring in degrees that don’t make enough money from taking out college loans. Degrees for social work, art, religious studies, teaching aides, and music will be hit the hardest. trib.al/aaAEu6v

The problem with saying, "You can be critical of pro-Israel & AIPAC-funded politicians & it's not antisemitic," is that it's actually true BUT if a rival can call a politician AIPAC-funded without any evidence & you'll just believe them because that politician is Jewish, that IS antisemitic.
