My son was suspended from school for giving another student a "pigjob" and now we're all sitting around the empty dinner table as a family with our palms flat on the surface staring at nothing in particular in silence. It is understood none of us will ever ask what the word means.

"let IPs die" 🚫 "force IP into the public domain" 👉

pumpkin done 🔪🎃

A rabid eugenicist is also a gutter racist, who knew?

EL-SAYED: I get that the President takes personal offense to my first name. He doesn't mind as much when it's the Saudis who are funding his son-in-law's private equity. Doesn't seem to mind as much when it's the Qataris who are giving them a $400 million private jet…

How are you still writing this shit www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/...

Don’t let other people make you worse. Move on. Today’s a new day and you get to make yourself a new you.

multiple times recently someone i've worked with has said to me "wow, you're so good at what you do" and i've asked them if they can help me explain what it is i do and they've responded with "no, sorry, i don't really know how to describe it" so, uh, hire me for that, i guess

Lula winning is great for the planet, great for Brazil, and great for people who aren't revanchist assholes everywhere in the world, but let's not forget that it's also going to make some of the worst people on Earth extremely sad and mad. We should enjoy that, as a little treat.
