BREAKING: BELGRADE, Serbia (AP) — Serbia's strongman leader Aleksandar Vucic has conceded defeat to a student-led movement in a seismic political shift.

New desk chair arrived on my bday. It replaces a 20-year-old Aeron my ex stole from a studio temp gig. The box says says "MADE FOR LADY." Has a good headrest, hidden leg/footrests, flip-up armrests, lumbar support, & washable, flooffy seat covers. I can lie flat & nap in this thing. I LOVE IT.

I don’t want to meet Muse. Stop asking me. 

Ok, I've located the source of the 'don't bring iced coffee to a job interview' thing and my contribution is that I once carried a clown nose in my purse for six months and have no business in a full-time office job, but I think that's on of those 'correlation isn't causation' things.

Hirono to Patel: "I'm still pretty mystified as to why beastiality was taken off the list. You have been so drunk that briefings have been rescheduled so you could sleep it off."

Busy open house on our street today. At one point, someone parked a vanity-plated Cybertruck *in the driveway* (it's not your house bro) & the neighbor group chat went wild. A li'l eavesdropping (wasn't hard, they were LOUD) & reportage later & suffice it to say their offer isn't gonna cut it. 🫡

I’ll say this for me… I’m real good at laughing at my mistakes. (That’s supposed to be challah.)

The thing that keeps me watching the Traitors franchise is how consistently the most arrogant bro is among the first to implode.

We’re watching Backrooms. Hubs asks where he’s seen Chiwetel Ejiofor. I say “the potatoes in space movie.” Because that’s what it is.

AOC on why men depict women in nonconsensual deepfake AI porn “What these abusers are trying to do is make an example of women who are in the public eye in order to discourage women everywhere from standing in their own light, and that also goes again.“ www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Reporter: Isn’t there concern that this slippery slope to socialism inevitably ends up as full-blown communism? AOC: They want to call everything they don’t like communist because if people actually wake up to the fact that their elected officials are screwing them over when they get here

Seen in Cleveland, Ohio.

Mantra of the day: I can't wait to discover why this didn't work out.

Needing two days of solitude after one day of even moderate socializing.

This is super interesting and practical.

I'm Wang Chunging (Wanging Chung?) Thursday night. For real.

The Tate arrests are for an extradition to the UK for rape and sex trafficking charges. So Donald will have no ability to pardon his fellow rapists.

Sounds like growing up in suburban NJ in the 90s.

We should be so lucky.

In nine months we're gonna have thousands of babies named Jimothy

A real patriot would ask him to pinky promise.

Went to the ER yesterday (burned my hand.) A very kind nurse applied silvadene cream & said “we’re not allowed to let patients take this home but it’s not scanned into the system and I’m gonna leave it here and walk away.” We’re forcing nurses to be benevolent mobsters. Good work, America.

This is a good summary of everything HHS Secretary RFK Jr. is doing both publicly and behind the scenes to destroy the US vaccination program. He even wanted to end requirements for the polio vaccine. He will not stop, and Republicans in Congress will continue to do nothing about it.

Here's something I saw here on Bluesky that I wish Democrats would say every day: "Trump was elected while Obama was president Trump was elected when Biden was president Trump lost the election while he was president But the democrats are cheating? How?"

Is there a better feeling than giving up on a book you haven't been enjoying? Not today.

Aging has its downsides but today a bro flipped me off because I got in the way of his speeding and it just made me giggle... so that's an upside.

Think my next read is gonna be Careless People: A Cautionary Tale of Power, Greed, and Lost Idealism, by Sarah Wynn-Williams and I hope and expect it will finally motivate me to ditch Instagram, my last tie to Meta, for good.

Six state and local election results you should know about, before we call it quits for the night. Let's go. 🧵

Secret date reveal... Jazz night at a cat lounge.

(Yes, it's real. Found in Brazil and reported by multiple sources in 2021. This message brought to you by how annoying it is that one has to include an AI disclaimer with any cool thing. And the letter C.)

Encouraging kids to be their authentic selves is suicide prevention. Conversion therapy is a death sentence. It’s time we all get clear on that.

Excuse me, what did you just say? WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU JUST SAY??? www.nytimes.com/2026/03/31/u...

Might be the greatest opening paragraph of anything ever.

You need to see baby goat zoomies. Trust me. Sound up.

A single gallon of gas is approaching the price it costs me to charge my EV once a week.

That’s just my two cents.
