I know posting "the girls are fighting" seems funny, but it's actually insensitive and shitty. My father died in a girl fight. He tried to break it up and the girls pulled him apart like freshly baked bread. He didn't even scream. One moment he was there, the next just a spray of dad viscera.

I'm laying in bed watching moonlight come through the slats in the blinds while my fan spins and it looks like an old timey black and white gangster movie scene in the detective's office at night. I'm very high right now.

You can think about what others think about you and have whatever emotions you want, but know who you are and believe in it and have rigorous reasons for doing so, loving your friends and those closest to you is the only counterbalance to being a gigantic hater.

One of the hallmarks of the dangerously stupid is the consistent belief they've found great solutions that experts somehow missed.

Even after @jaketapper.bsky.social's new book, people are claiming they had no idea Joe Biden's condition was so bad. But SNL was never fooled - they had been pointing it out for years. Here are the receipts: www.anti-knowledge.com/p/snl-knew-a...

You have three days, starting today, to leave a public comment with the FDA about, say, why COVID-19 boosters should remain available to everyone and also free. "Individual consumer" is the category you most likely want (unless you are one of the other categories; if so, choose that).

When mask mandates were enacted to try and save lives, the right screamed about freedom. When mask bans were passed? They celebrated. Because it’s not about freedom. With vaccine mandates, they screamed about autonomy. When vaccines get restricted, they cheer. Because it’s not about autonomy.
