😂Reality strikes. Sarah does it again - lol

Today, August 4, 2026, is the setting of Ray Bradbury’s short story “There Will Come Soft Rains” about a fully automated house continuing on after the family who lived there and the world around it died in a nuclear blast.

We impeached but never convicted him Had four years and mountains of evidence but never held a federal trial Convicted him at the state level on 34 felony counts and then levied no punishment, not even probation Tell me what, in all of this, would lead me to believe he’ll be held to account

By the way Mitch McConnell voted against paid leave many many times

I don’t ever want to hear Republicans bitch about people working from home. Mitch McConnell has been working while he’s fucking dead.

French botanist Jeanne Baret was the first-known woman to circumnavigate the globe. + Disguised as a male assistant named "Jean" to bypass naval law + Faced extreme physical labor & safety threats for 2 years at sea + Completed loop around the Earth, returning to France in 1775 #WomenInSTEM (1/2)🧵

This is very good.

As cosmetic procedures become both more invisible and more extreme, our connection to reality is fraying.

"Hey friend, happy with your controls yes or no"

Some people may disagree with this, but this is my opinion. If you don't intend to treat a pet as a member of your family & household, don't get one. This includes letting them on the furniture and letting them sleep in bed with you. Yes. Things will get scratched up and covered in hair. Enjoy it.

Dear world, our president is a madman, please help us.

Look. In 1776 we in America set a great example for France in 1779. But no one should be looking at us and saying, "what a great idea!!"

Congratulations to all my US friends on making it to the end of your epic 250 year experiment with democracy! May the subsequent imperial phase be mercifully brief and the aftermath painless.

A car is one of the largest purchases you’ll likely make as a consumer. If you choose to spend that $50,000 on a Tesla, you’re choosing to support child genocide. Not buying a Tesla is one of the easiest things you can do to not be a garbage human being.

You know this heatwave? Get used to it This is how it is now because generations before us wouldn’t heed warnings about climate change Oh, and those data centers they want to build are are building? Yeah, that’s going to make this much much worse.

sucks to suck

Trump ‘livid’ over crowd size at National Mall state fair, report says: ‘Who thought this was a good idea?’

If the Supreme Court can reverse a 95 year-old ruling for a country that is only 250 years old, I need you to UNDERSTAND this country still has no idea what it is or what it stands for other than it’s constant push-and-pull to oppress Black people and eliminate Native people.

Honestly, the 2016 and most recent election proved you can't save stupid people from themselves, but come on.

First SCOTUS opinion is as bad as it gets: West Virginia law banning trans kids from playing sports consistent with their gender identity is constitutional, according to the fucking fascist six. All three liberal justices dissent.

100% true. 👇

I want ALL my politicians to have this joy and energy. Why can’t we all have this. 😭😭

New York City residents are celebrating the reopening of public pools — including Mayor Zohran Mamdani, who jumped into the water while wearing a suit at an East Harlem pool on Saturday. Outdoor public pools will be open from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. every day through Sept. 13.

Why doesn't the word "stupid" appear anywhere here? Donald Trump is fucking stupid and we should specifically and explicitly say "Donald Trump is fucking stupid" as often as we can, because Donald Trump is fucking stupid.

Imagine how different the world would be now if the US spent the last 50 years devoted to developing renewable energy instead of subsidizing oil companies.

If you look you will find stories about the heatwave and about Ebola, about screwworm and about Covid, about data centers and about wars, about the trillionaire and about Prairieland, and if you look carefully you will find that these are all part of the same story.
