We’re also funding death squads but what’s really offensive is that somewhere out there a poor person might be able to eat
USA TODAY Opinion@usatodayopinion.usatoday.com · 2d agoOpinion: Mamdani's idea may sound appealing, but it's NYC taxpayers who will take the hit, subsidizing discounts they may never even use.
I watched a TikTok video of a woman trying to discipline a mean rooster which was already funny enough and the comment section is full of people saying that a mean rooster goes straight in the pot. I have not stopped laughing yet.

I have no idea who Ella Langley is. But everyone knows who Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey are. I miss monoculture for real because, who?
couldn't hum you a single note of this song. there are a lot of pros and cons to the kind of monoculture that enabled songs in the 90s to reign as long as they did, but this shows how splintered everything truly is.
Pop Base@popbase.tv · last wk.Ella Langley has broken a record she previously held with Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey. Her song ‘Choosin’ Texas’ has officially spent more weeks (15) at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart than ‘I Will Always Love You’ and ‘We Belong Together.’ (14)
I was wondering which kind of property in Rittenhouse Square was gonna be enough for the big dawg

I’m so happy that Gen Alpha kids are continuing the time old tradition of tearing each other’s asses up with inflatable objects.
To the woman who moved the fan closer to me when you were done working out: I hope you get some extra money and a free margarita this weekend.
i want to be just famous enough that they let me in the criterion closet
Someone in DC set up a “little free blockbuster” with DVDs inside instead of books lol
You know, when I am alone and enjoying the comfort of my own home, I might randomly re-enact Miranda Hillard's crash-out in "Mrs. Doubtfire." Just--*SCREAMS* "Daniel? Daniel! Oh my God. Oh my God. 👹 OH MY GOD 👹"
Hunter Biden is an Aquarius man. Why am I not surprised? I have yet to see someone out-sass an Aquarius man.
Dating didn't start to get fun for me until I was 30. That was also the beginning of the era when I was in my "I'll do wtf I want" mindset. These things are inextricably related btw
rax ‘levon honkers’ king@raxkingisdead.bsky.social · 2w agoit's not a whole article that young women are dating deadbeat little jerkoffs. that's not a trend. that's just being in your twenties
As I get older, I realize that every woman has a story that changed their brain chemistry. And honestly, it’s made me a whole lot softer and more compassionate.
Here's the thing: If you are a woman and you date men, you are going to get dog walked by at least one of 'em. Call it the patriarchy. Call it whatever you want. Anyone who has ever dated a man has a story so I have nothing snarky to say because my twenties were full of a lot of dogwalking.
The only thing I hoped for throughout this entire article was that no one popped up pregnant.
The Cut@thecut.com · 2w agoGen-Z women aren’t just paying for their boyfriends, Angelina Chapin writes for The Cut. They’re mothering them as well.
What a blessing it is to have a mayor like Zohran Mamdani.
I want someone to legitimately explain to me why someone would bring a regular dog into a restaurant.
Real talk: Sometimes I miss the peak Glossier era. Boy, was that a lot of fun.
I love a good, chaotic dating show. But if I see a contestant who's under the age of 28, my interest drops expeditiously.
