I usually hate defending airlines, but it’s funny that everyone understands that luxury isn’t cheap until it comes to air travel. Aviation is a super low-margin industry. Prices would skyrocket if the median passenger experience resembled a midcentury magazine ad

Food, man. Food is so much better than it was in 1986. All of it. Poor-people food, restaurant food, fresh food, frozen food. Food is just a hell of a lot better.

Can you at least wait until the polls close to blame black people for your losses?

I’ve gone back and forth on this one. If it were a certificate program, I don’t think it would be the worst idea in the world

Arizona State University launches degree in content creation

I’ve seen liberals and feminists make almost this exact speech. Hope you’re all proud of sharing a camp with people like this

Chris Hayes@chrislhayes.bsky.social · 2d ago

It was this one, and, yes, I do believe that was an All In first.

This is why I’ve started getting toiletries, cosmetics, and medicine at an actual grocery store. They have it all with better prices and coupons

CVS is doing the most!!!

My alma mater has scholarships for anyone with a good GPA and standardized test scores. So do many other public universities and community colleges. Parents are better off investing in tutoring instead of sports if college is what they’re worried about

Marisa Kabas@marisakabas.bsky.social · 2d ago

the obsession with trans women in sports is, apart from the abject bigotry, a symptom of how we take amateur sports participation way too seriously in this country.

People from Africa or of African descent make up less than one half of one percent of China’s population btw

Manya Koetse@manyapan.bsky.social · 2d ago

Chinese viral AI videos are turning foreigners into villains, flooding Chinese social media. They depict foreigners as threats to China’s social, moral, and national order. Strong, confident Chinese people confront, violently beat, and humiliate them in defense of their country. See more below🧵

Super disappointed in Meet Cutes for participating in this

“Dubbed the ‘Missed Connections Booth,’ the photobooth is a collaboration between Matchbox (a dating startup), Meet Cutes NYC (a popular social media account), and Faceplace (a photobooth vendor).” ToS on this thing must be a sight to behold.

The real political homelessness happening right now is being an American who isn’t a raging antisemite or islamophobe

I love this make believe world that Serious, Intellectual Conservatives live in where Texas is forcing the Bible into public school English out of reverence for the Western canon and not to move full speed ahead on Christian nationalism

The New York Times@nytimes.com · 2d ago

In @nytopinion.nytimes.com “There is nothing inherently conservative about the idea of a stipulated reading list, nor about the belief that children need to be exposed from an early age to great works of literature and to history taught chronologically,” writes James Traub.

This warrants a search on his hard drives, I’m not kidding

Uhhhh, what a creepy video for Mario Lopez to create using AI and then post… Especially since the subject is his niece!

Buc-ee’s opened their first Arizona location last month and the lines are still massive. What is the deal with this place!?

Anyone who has worked with domestic violence victims know the answer to this is too often yes.

Glad I have a father who would storm my house with a [redacted] if he ever found out I was being physically abused by a man. This isn’t meant to be smug or anything, a lot of women do not

“Does that sound like somebody who’s been abused?” Yes?? What a psycho

Rep. Max Miller: "My former wife has claimed that during a custody exchange at my home that day, I assaulted her…If I had assaulted her, would she have offered to cook me dinner six days later?"

Fast food has become a very worthless purchase. My dollar goes much further at some local places where I live

Throwing in another one that’s more local to me: there’s a mall near my city that’s full of anime, perfume, and candy stores that barely ever have customers. I have no definitive proof but I’m convinced they’re fronts

What's your personal great white whale of an unsolved mystery? The thing you desperately hope is solved before you die because you need to know the answer? Mine is the Isabella Stewart Gardener Museum heist. Where the hell are the Rembrandts. I need the full story

It's 2026 and Shoe0nHead is still doing GamerGate bullshit and complaining about feminists, and complaining about female video game characters not being conventionally attractive enough.

Not *the* greatest but the steep drop in communications costs. Americans can now get unlimited phone plans for $30/mo. That would be unfathomable to most in the 90s and early 2000s

Matthew Downhour @matthewdownhour.bsky.social · 5d ago

I like this brainstorm: greatest achievements since 1969. Number one for me: eradicating smallpox What else?

Yesterday I watched a video mentioning that the winder of the 1930 Pulitzer Prize for fiction is a book that many today have never heard of. Also released in 1929 but did not receive any major literary prizes? The Sound and the Fury

Butlerian Jihadist of House Slytherin@shimminykricket.blacksky.app · 5d ago

I wonder which books written in the past 50 years people will still be reading 100+ years from now.

God it’s every day here in Phoenix too. Sometimes my college classes next to University drive in Tempe were interrupted by them. Noise from illegally-modified vehicles is a quality of life issue I’d love to see cities address

Peter Walker@peterwalker99.bsky.social · 6d ago

Every single person who rides an ostentatiously noisy motorbike can just fuck off. Those who do so in London or any town or city, and especially those who use chainsaw-volume engine revving as a “warning” can then fuck off all over again.

I'll never regret deleting all of my face photos from X and here. This is awful and nothing that Stancil's said or done comes even close to justifying this insane behavior

Well some nutjob of some description definitely thought they were doing something hardcore here

Widow's Bay is some of the best TV I've watched in a long time

Not that it matters to these racist freaks but Muslim WTC corporate employees, service staff, and first responders died on 9/11. This is indirectly telling their loved ones that they too are unwelcome

The Mouthy Renegade Writer@mouthyrenegade.bsky.social · last wk.

Truly. Nobody has the right to gatekeep a fellow New Yorker from attending this. Stop with the racist bullshit, already.

I cannot imagine trading NYC for this humid, car-dependent, grifter hell

TJ’s sunscreen is top two and it ain’t two

The New York Times@nytimes.com · 6d ago

Trader Joe’s budget beauty products often go viral online for being dupes of more expensive counterparts, so Wirecutter tested them out. Much like the items in TJ’s frozen-food aisle, the products in its skin-care aisle contain unskippable staples and a few flops. nyti.ms/45ulTP2
