All this money, ahead in the polls by like 30 points, and he still has to spam text me twice daily despite being constantly blocked and reported. Cool cool cool. Thanks Josh.

I have a strong natural aversion to flim-flam men and one of the great confusions of my adulthood has been realizing many, many other people do not.

I went to an all Black deeply under resourced elementary school and ended up at an elite PWI. Your parents can, in fact, make up for the deficit. They just have to actually DO THAT. Not just complain at the principal. They have to actually engage in educating you.

If ROOTS doesn't continue here it needs a new home or things will get worse @coreyoconnorpa.bsky.social. I don't like the sound of "the ROOTS program as a whole will continue, even without a fixed location."

I simply wouldn't put any individual trans person on blast like this, ever, particularly one with like 300 followers, if I had 98 *thousand* followers. What the fuck are we doing here George.

It's Labor Day. A day born out of a working class uprising that helped shift working conditions. Here's the story of how it began, and how it matters today:

Good morning. Mason Heintschel's 453 passing yards yesterday were the third-most by a Pitt quarterback in school history - but they set the new record for passing in a regulation win.

It is very funny to stake out this "do you even understand" position about a book series that came out in 1997. Like girl we all understand, everyone on this website was born since then. You're not referencing some ancient scrolls here.

Just scanned this for my film project & only remembered we had a copy yesterday as the last monuments were taken down in Richmond. I've never seen this image duplicated before, it is a man standing next to the Lee monument on Monument Ave with tobacco growing on all sides. From Valentine collection.

Jennifer Nelson’s entry to this year’s Minnesota State Fair crop art
A localized version of Guernica with a loon at the center and a person holding an ICE OUT sign 

“My piece was inspired by Picasso's Guernica, a work that was his response to the Nazi's bombing of the Basque town. I thought there was a fitting parallel between these incidents about the high price paid by ordinary people when aggressive regimes try out new tactics of war, as well as a fitting juxtaposition of the darkness of living such an experience and the light we shone through it in our own resistance and care for one another. The patterns near Renee Good and Alex Pretti’s mouths are actually their last words in Morse code: ‘I’m not mad at you,’ and ‘Are you okay?’”

I appreciate that the city has put in more crosswalks, and many of them are at bus stops, which I imagine makes a lot of sense, but it turns out I personally can't tell for a damn if someone is waiting for the bus or to cross the street.

The AI trainers destroying rare books do that because it's the fastest, cheapest, and easiest way to digitize, and requires no post-digitization preservation of the physical object, which costs money. It's not any more complicated or nefarious than that.

To live under constant, growing threat like that from the most powerful person on the planet. Imagine what it’s been like for…

This broke my Yinzer brain. Insane way to talk about the Homestead steel strike. Frick and Carnegie sent *300* shooters for their own men. Three hundred. So hey you should use AI y'all?!? What on Earth are we doing here.

I think an overlooked aspect of millennial partying is that there were a bajillion of us. Stuff like teen nightclubs made a ton of money, it wasn't all 'let's do things for the kids.' We're Boomers 2.0. Capitalism was laser focused on us for a very long time.
