A really funny complaint about the Zohran discount grocery store idea is that non-poor people could use it when there’s a grocery store half a mile from my grocery store that has everything cost 20% more that rich people go to because they don’t want to shop with normal people.
I'm not going to a white doctor or barber unless I have to. Sitting there the whole time thinking this mfer listens to podcasts.

I mean yeah they’ve been snatching toddlers out of finger painting class and breaking in the car windows of abuelitas on their way to clean hotel rooms and leaving cancer patients to die in concentration camps but are they not also human at the end of the day?
“Music publications BrooklynVegan, Alternative Press, Revolver, and Goldmine have been gutted by parent company Veeps... Nearly all the staff at each publication appear to have been laid off yesterday. Veeps, which is now owned by Live Nation, acquired the publications in 2024 or 2025”

What if all the points in a basketball game were scored at once but we randomized the unveiling on the scoreboard
this is the thing that really bugs me about california's slow vote counting. reporters can't help but describe it in terms of momentum, when it's really scanning across a snapshot
Losing an election seems like it must fucking suck. Fortunately I am not a freak who Desires Power so it’s not my problem.
looks like my poem “The World” just baaarely snuck into the emily wilson/odyssey issue lmao

This is the tricky part though. If an author simply wrote the words "war is hell" on a piece of paper, or "man in conflict with nature" that wouldn't be very interesting to read! The same is true of posts. Sometimes one puts other words into a post that are technically superfluous to its meaning.
Remember how in school the teacher made you read a little short story and then you had to determine what the theme or takeaway so to speak of it was? You can do that for posts you read to. Boil them right down. For example in this one it would be "polls are fake."

There is a pretty big flaw to the thing people are saying about AES squeaking out a win despite polls having him up big recently and that is that polls are fake.
This machine wasn't killing any fascists at all. Zero dead fascists due to this machine. On the contrary a lot of them were dancing.

"Cis people who still do their Wordles or who still like Harry Potter? I cannot trust them. They are a threat in the sense that a drunk behind the wheel is dangerous or a sleepwalker stumbling towards a staircase is dangerous. Willfully or not they may cause actual harm."
Well, here's an exciting thing ... I have a new short essay live today on @lukeoneil47.bsky.social's excellent Welcome to Hell World: www.welcometohellworld.com/who-goes-tra...
They're saying Luke don't do a whole series of posts about 2Pac right now have another beer first. Then do it.
Me when Shock G shows up in the 2Pac video (thank you).

It rules how much this weirdo gets around.
NO IRISH in this one specific instance.
Yes, there is a world of difference. You just have to look at who's in the audience at their rallies. Look at endorsements. Black Democrats in Michigan are largely rejecting AES. That should be a canary in the coal mine and an urgent invitation to reexamine your priors.
I moved us to this school district last year to avoid this exact sort of thing. To preserve her innocence. She still hadn't even heard the news about Santa Clause.
I eat meat like a carnivore so I don’t have shit on my ass hole or ass area at all. Nowhere around the ass.

I love thinking and talking about boys playing against professional women athletes because I was a boy once too. So in a way I could also beat them if I wanted to.
