There are more little kids at this Modest Mouse show than I would have expected

Wore my Beth Stelling socks I got Friday to the Jackie Kashian/Maria Bamford show tonight. It was a great weekend to see women do stand-up in Pittsburgh!

Hey, I’m just asking questions. Ignorant questions, bigoted questions, questions that have been repeatedly answered for many years. Sorry, but I’m not listening to answers right now; I’m far too busy asking questions. It’s called being intellectually curious.

I'm kinda fully over that "the British conquered the world for spices and don't use any of them" joke because for one, you cannot recycle material for 5 straight generations and get a laugh worth a damn but also because in order to make it you have to agree with Tommy Robinson about who is British

i worry that men think being A Good Guy is dramatically and heroically intervening on behalf of an endangered woman and then being publicly rewarded on a grand scale when actually being A Good Guy is just usually saying, “hey man that’s not funny” or “wow that’s fucked up” and there is no reward

talent is a lie

A guy asked me if I wanted a pamphlet and I said brochure.

Many experts believe that estrangements are becoming an epidemic, driven by shifting family norms and changing therapy practices. on.wsj.com/4rBwger

Anybody else ever think about how gift cards are private corporate currency and that buying them is functionally equivalent to giving an interest-free loan to a corporation and we mostly pay full face value for them!

You are all in jail. Each alone, solitary, with a heap of what he owns. You live in prison, die in prison. It is all I can see in your eyes – the walls, the walls!

even if you don't care about trans rights (and fine, I can't make you care), the resistance to limitations on executive power should be EXTREMELY worrying in this moment if you're looking for a presidential candidate

Happy Demi Adejuyigbe Day to all who celebrate

A world where a twist ending is repurposed as a video title. where a thing's climax has been removed, leaving an advertisment for the gap where it used to be. such things are commonplace in. the twilight zone

Centrists’ constant delusion that their votes being pandered to is a sign that their democracy is fine is what makes them the most easily controlled subjects of fascism.

To all the people seeing the new cat and saying "OMG I want one" shut the fuck up before some shithead starts working on making a way to sell you one Think it through for one god damned second

It’s very simple and it’s been said over and over but I guess it needs saying continuously: if you deem one group too small to have equal rights you are enabling fascism, not fighting it. The people saying Dems are GREAT on trans rights are not paying attention and/or saying stuff like this.

We are not subjects of a State founded upon law, but members of a society formed upon revolution. Revolution is our obligation: our hope of evolution.

How can anyone pretend to believe this cockamamie Bob Ross story that he got a perm to save money on haircuts? Every time I hear it *AGAIN* I feel like I'm on a secret prank show. It makes no sense of any kind.

99% of ruminators quit right before they would have had a life-changing epiphany

We're being told that if we sacrifice the rights of some people, then the rest of us get to keep our rights. We all know that's some BS.

People get confused about the trans sports thing because at a glance it seems like a small issue that impacts a very small number of people and thus makes sense as a "reasonable" concession. But it isn't, because conceding that is accepting that a kid's trans identity is on some level fraudulent

First of all, they absolutely did not go to Walmart

Rep. Van Orden: "Listen, the average American has been browbeaten into thinking that things are so much worse than they were under the Biden administration. That's just a lie. Eggs were $9 a dozen. I went to Walmart the other day, it was a buck 50."

The only medical coverage members of Congress should be allowed to have is their home state's Medicaid

I take comfort in the fact that the gloves will undoubtedly be poorly produced and the officers will receive no training, so they'll probably mostly hurt themselves and each other with the gloves before abandoning them.

Let's give the unhinged, untrained, unaccountable bullies electroshock gloves. While we're at it, do a no-bid contract for this bullshit.

More cops have been arrested for using flock cameras to stalk women than there are trans athletes in youth sports.
