So glad to be here. I’m here to enjoy all the funny, smart, and interesting observations that y’all make! And maybe make some of my own. Excuse me while I hit “follow” with abandon.

an absolutely monumental achievement! A massive congratulations to her for breaking barriers, challenging stereotypes, and proving that determination knows no bounds. Becoming the world's first practicing lawyer with Down syndrome after 5 years of hard work at the Universidad Autónoma de Zacatecas

MY DAUGHTER WITH DOWN SYNDROME JUST BECAME THE WORLD'S FIRST PRACTICING LAWYER AFTER FIVE YEARS OF LAW SCHOOL. TELL HER CONGRATULATIONS

What if every country got together and developed a schedule; every few days, a different country invites the esteemed Pres T to a ceremony wherein they bestow upon him a “Very Prestigious Award.” This would keep him occupied and properly fluffed, thereby reducing his propensity to do constant harm.

Travis & Taylor should have a wedding ceremony, maybe become each others' medical proxy or whateverits called, but not legally get married. That's my completely unsolicited and uninformed legal advice.

Can we get some prominent democrats to make statements asking Mr. Trump to please not release the Epstein File. Like, can they act all nervous and skittish and thank Trump for protecting such sensitive content? I feel like that would be hilarious.

Why hasn’t Trump ordered a fake Epstein report to be generated and released? Seems like a win/win. Tell ChatGPT to say it was Soros the Clintons and the Obamas? The base would love it. Problem solved. I can’t believe he hasn’t, honestly.

Anyone have any favorite 'go to' #WeightWatchers meals to share? I'm looking for inspiration. Here's one I like: 1/2 cup rolled oats 1 scoop vanilla protein powder 1 cup unsweetened almond milk Mix those all together. Top with your choice if fruit (I do strawberries, banana, blueberries).

I bet they are using the cold as an excuse. I bet the projected crowds were set to be even smaller than last time. Moving it indoors takes care of that optics problem.

When he was named PotY in 2016, it was arguably an ominously lit picture and some thought the M was intentionally placed to look like devils horns on his head. This year, the photo composition is much more flattering to him. He meets the criteria, fair enough. But I wish they’d used his mug shot.

TIME magazine cover in 2016 when Trump was person of the year. It’s darkly lit, has an ominous make-up. Seems kinda 1940s-esq in its styling.TIME cover in 2024, it brightly lit and flattering to Trump. The composition signals hope and light, which is total bullshit.

Anecdotal, but: I used to listen to a ton of political podcasts. But since the election, I’ve stopped cold turkey. I thought I’d eventually resume, but I don’t think I will. I can’t be the only one. I wonder if the ratings bump they were chasing via Trump will be a bust.

Bluesky, Today is my 2nd day on here as an escapee from The Bad Place. I am BEGGING y’all to repost this I have $80,000 in scholarship money to give away to women and girls NATIONWIDE. I worked so hard to raise this money. Applications open THIS week. I’m scared the mass migration will impact this

I stopped doing the NYT games during the strike, which was a little hard because I did them every day and enjoyed them. And now that we can do them again, I’ve not gotten back into it. It’s weird. Like I accidentally quit a habit that I didn’t really want to quit.
