When I say I love Cheesecake Factory, I mean this cat who was found malnourished and wandering through a Bay Area mall parking lot. Cheesecake Factory has since been rescued and nursed back to health. He's now healthy, vaxxed, & sweet, but still needs a loving home www.petfinder.com/cat/cheeseca...

i am inviting anyone from a legacy media organization to explain to me why the house judiciary dems report on trump’s epstein’s ties and multiple allegations of rape isn’t worthy of extensively reporting on. i’m serious. i want to understand.

A lot of what's wrong with me would be fixed by hugging a baby giraffe

it feels truly insane that it’s not

I know there's a lot going on but I feel it should probably be more of an above-the-fold story that members of Congress released a thoroughly documented report directly accusing the president of the United States of being a serial rapist.

Putting up a good fight, trying to win, and losing is STILL more valuable than never really trying. It builds infrastructure, voter habits, local talent. TX is on the verge in large part bc of ppl activated (and maintained) by Beto. GA went purple bc Stacey Abrams worked hard (still does) and lost.

The main negative response I've seen towards the excitement over this Louisiana US Senate race is "He WonT WIn AnYwAY!" I find it annoying because voters in this state haven't had much to be excited about in years, and change starts with people believing that change is possible in the first place!!

Well, this blows. My agent says that Wicker movie has made my script about making a wife out of Babybel wax wrappers “unsellable” and “stupid”

the only white people in the US scared to show their faces are klansmen, nazis, and ICE agents

There was a fucking hole in our planet’s *atmosphere* Like a legit, no joke, “this will unravel our entire ecosystem” hole in the world, and then we fixed it by working together across national and political lines As a species we decided, “we will survive” Let’s do that some more

Social media loves talking about how everything is getting worse. But what’s something that you’ve seen get _better_ in your lifetime?

If you thought Ben Lamm was a shithead, you underestimated him. He's worse. Genetically engineering any creatures, but dogs especially, to be weapons of war — it's unspeakable. www.forbes.com/sites/amyfel...

AOC: "As AI begins to encroach in our society, their goal is to take your cognition away from you. AI's goal is to take your thoughts away from you, your ability to think away from you, so that you become dependent on a machine ... reading books is active resistance"

I’ve been doing some reporting on a US Senate race in the Deep South — story coming soon— and I truly don’t think people realize how bad the Republican brand is right now even in “safe” states
