More damaging revelations about Ken Paxton: A previously unreported New Year’s Eve 2024 celebration where Paxton partied in Dubai with two fugitives from U.S. justice and a woman who wasn’t his wife on.wsj.com/4yKLe4d

disabled trans woman who was denied her disability claim, filed appeals but i need help while i dispute this. ive been through so much these past few yrs, pls don't let me hit rock bottom. anything helps even just shares 🖤💜❤️‍🔥 ca: $dyadicsapphic pp/vn: @dyadicsapphic mutual aid #mutualaid 💸💕

on this episode of Monk he's only bought 12 beers for a bachelor party he's hosting, one for each attendant, and they all decide it's better for one person to get "good and polluted" than for them all to get a little sleepy, thus inventing the "designated drunk" an idea with much potential

💸 ROLE ANNOUNCEMENT 🔦 They don't pay me enough to deal with these kids! You can catch me as the exhausted campus policeman FELIX in the demo for UNIVERSITY OF PROGRESS! Thanks so much to Blossom for having me onboard, be sure to play the demo and wishlist on Steam!

My job for eight seasons was to find the most corrupt guys in America and turn their ridiculous evil into television, and I gotta say Paxton is a standout for being *comical* levels of corrupt. I’d say he has swagger but I think he’s just dumb & lazy because the (R) after his name is gold in Texas.

Personally, and I am speaking for myself here, all the paperwork and scheduling and keeping track of shit in academia is a goddamned ADHD nightmare that only gets worse. The next time someone, doesn't matter who, asks how I do it in academia with ADHD, I'm just going to spam this gif:

Galactic Racer may be the most I’ve liked a Star Wars property since the X-Wing Alliance games

It’s funny how I’ve mostly lived a life of rawdogging any sort of discomfort or pain. Sleepy? Don’t wanna drink coffee or tea or energy drinks! Headaches? What are headache pills? Ibuprofen who????

flora update: flora is mad at rogi remillard the fox. my best guess is that she thinks rogi sent her to the vet

combing my mind for any straight pride flag design that could possibly be funnier and i can't, it's an exceptional joke

i have now seen the straight pride flag for the first time and my jaw genuinely dropped. you're right heterosexuals, strict binarism, black and white thinking, is a kind of imprisonment, 10/10 no notes

Loving this whole thread.

The universe at large owes Howard Dean an apology and at least, like, an edible arrangement or something.

Why do people keep writing the same "actually it's more fun over on X" blog, who fucking cares

Baby queers with unsupportive families in small towns should know that they can grow up to be whatever they want to be, whether that’s a gender-abolitionist queer theory professor or a boring suburbanite with a middle management job at a Fortune 100 company.

When people call X more "fun", I think of Tony Randall's Brain Gremlin in The New Batch shooting another gremlin in the face & saying, "Now, was that civilized? No. Fun, yes, but in no way civilized." "Fun" doesn't always mean good. Especially if your idea of fun doesn't exclude harming others.

Pssst US SNL and UK SNL are both Lorne Michaels productions, and Lorne is a pandering soulless asshat that will throw his support behind whatever appears popular where and when it will air. This is still the bad show, it's just wearing Groucho glasses.

Spied outside the Easton Purple store. I snort-laughed 🤣🤣 Alright fellow trans fems: What is The Egg Test That Never Lies? 🤪🏳️‍⚧️

ultimately if ppl want it to stop its going to come in the form of policy or labor power, not boycotts imo.

personally think if the line is going to be “no gen ai in anything” then the you might have to consider divesting from AAA games entirely because this is just what the industry is now, whether they admit it so publicly or not

The raid on Rep. Omar doesn’t “raise serious questions,” Mr. Speaker. It was an attack on democracy by a fascist admin, plain as day. Don’t just say “accountability,” spell it. Try: “When we take back Congress, we will be dragging every single person involved into the Capitol to testify.” Then do it

jeffries has released a statement on the omar raid

“I'm afraid that we will be the ones that everyone looks back on and says, 'Hey, remember they tried to tell us that these things were hazardous to our health and causing harm,' Polk said. ‘I'm afraid that we're going to be those casualties.’”

The fact that this profile is on HER, the sapphic dating app for women and non-binary folks that is LITERALLY CALLED HER, sums up what it is like being on any sort of app as a lesbian in 2026

First real game I ever played. Couldn't afford a colour monitor so I played it in stunning EGA on an amber monochrome monitor.
