This should be so obvious that it doesn’t need to be said, but given what kind of weekend it’s been on here, apparently it does: If you don’t want old rapists running the world, in office, in the board room, making decisions for all of us get comfortable with “ruining” young rapists’ lives

I don't know any of these celebrities personally, but Cruise doesn't seem at ease in his own skin and doesn't really know how to genuinely laugh at himself in public appearances, which is the number one requirement of aging into a sexy grandpa. Everything seems calculated.

For those not following NJ politics, please know that the Lt Gov resigned a few days ago because a report came out saying he did serial harassment, and yesterday he went on TV to say "i put that report through multiple AIs and they told me it wasn't sexual harassment." Former university president

These people are absolutely 100% disconnected from the material reality that their tech-obsessed lifestyle is destroying the ecosystem we depend on for food. Food doesn't grow in the ground for them, it appears on their plate. Capitalism is a brain disease and a death cult

Things we saw today at the state fair (creative arts division)

A green and white quilt depicting the life cycle of s frog from egg to fully-limbed and talless adult.

A purple, white, and black hoodie with witchy moon phase embroidery, 3D butterflies, and a witchy woman with four eyes surrounded by mystical creatures and the words STAY WEIRD above and below her.

An American robin on its nest with an egg. The robin is made of felt and paper; the nest is made of paper shreds and twine; the egg is painted resin; and the base for the piece is a paper plate.

The way I've always heard it is: trapped in an apartment with your corpse, either will eat you. But your dogs wait until the last moment before starvation claims them, then start reluctantly nibbling at your toes, whereas your cats begin eating you immediately and start with your face.
