Possible update to the Turing Test: if you don’t coo, giggle, or burst into delighted tears seeing @ambermruffin with a baby koala, you prolly aren’t human. #science #ohthehumanity

@dog_rates Still very unsure of those other 4-leggers.

Democrats need to start cutting ads saying exactly this: Ron DeSantis wants to know about your daughter's menstrual cycles.

That's it. Make it that simple. President Biden will win reelection in a landslide.

Covid-19 deaths in the US are up 79% over the last two weeks, still far below the peaks of the pandemic but the equivalent of a new 9/11 every five or six days.

@JenReadsRomance What about the recent Killers of a Certain Age?

@RachelLitLady1 @ItsNeeksYeah Right?!? I read “bodice rippers” as a teen, filled with being kissed into submission & couples just automaticity being good at sex together & didn’t unlearn some of those “lessons” about consent/communication with a partner til I was in my 30s. Teens deserve better!

I don’t understand how COVID is spiking again after we’ve tried everything from pretending it’s over to pretending it never happened

You know, for a long time I felt that we really didn’t necessarily need yet another film, book, or series whose only theme & message was “Nazis are objectively evil.” Like, we all know that, nothing could be more obvious!

WELL APPARENTLY WE FUCKING NEEDED A LOT MORE.

Gen X, I need a word.

What the fuck are you doing? Did you not understand ANY of the pop culture we grew up with?

You are not allowed to listen to Pearl Jam, Smashing Pumpkins, Nirvana, Rage Against the Machine or Stone Temple Pilots until you get your shit together.

SHAME

One thing we can all do to #protectICWA is to encourage as many people as possible to listen to the 2nd season of This Land, as it breaks down how oil and gas and anti Indian gaming interests are using ICWA to attack the sovereignty of Tribal Nations https://t.co/2qMimht5PO

Sheriffs control most local jails and have also been responsible for a growing share of the nation’s deadly police violence. 1 in every 3 people killed by law enforcement is killed by a sheriff’s department. *Half of those sheriffs are on the ballot in this election.*
