I love how the rules change at every checkpoint but they act like the same dozen people have been going through theirs over and over and are flouting the rules out of spite
Former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro is back in the hospital with a rare skin infection. The doctors announced that the antibiotics are working, but he's being transferred from Manaus to a hospital in Brasilia today.
@lunch_enjoyer
Probably to figure out if it’s ethical to attend a “no loads refused” cumdump event when the bottom has blocked them on Twitter even though they never interacted with them
@roadtoserfdumb
I once consulted with Obama’s FDA chair on a script and had written the raw milk people as nutty but ineffectual eco-libertarians and she told me, of all the details, that was the only one I got wrong. She told me theirs were the only death threats she took seriously
@BrandyLJensen
I remember some tweet on here where the person said they grew up in a small evangelical town and when their school did the play they changed AIDS to diabetes
@ByYourLogic
What the past decade taught me is that all the people who are wound up about imaginary child trafficking or whatnot love nothing more than watching actual children suffer
My whole TL is people saying kind things about
@cushbomb
for good reason. Here’s my story. My wife was freaking out about the capitol insurrection, so I showed her Matt’s cushvlog that day. she felt better. a year later she met him and thanked him and he gave us both a big hug
@RepJuanVargas
I'm Jewish and the first part of this is an absolute lie. The second part of this is an insult to the U.S. Constitution. You should be ashamed of yourself.

@honeydewlacroix
I would say that Harvard and MIT, and that tech corridor, keep Boston relevant (not saying that’s good necessarily). I love Philly but the last time it was relevant was before the Civil War
@kthorjensen
I saw The Flaming Lips open for a Canadian hardcore band called The Dayglow Abortions in 1987 and everyone found the Lips to be boring hippies (sidebar, I bought a Dayglow Abortions shirt that was the Reagans eating a fetus on a covered dish, my mom made me get rid of it)
@dizzydoinggreat
I do remember, towards the end of my career teaching comp (full-time contract, 70+ students) I got contemptuous about low-effort papers and my comments made a student I liked cry, she dropped the class soon after. Bad mistake and shitty situation! Never wanna do that job again
@iwishiwasafinch
What’s always funny about this is that none of these weirdos have probably read The Bell Jar, which is essentially the girl Catcher in the Rye
@ksorbs
I dunno, I think most feminists think Sarah Sanders deserves equal pay, access to health care, freedom from sexual assault, and the right to determine what happens to her own body, despite the fact that she's an incredible sack of shit
@TheWapplehouse
Oregon is weird because almost everyone is very chill but then all their spare evil gets concentrated in insane homunculi like this guy
@ByYourLogic
I know it’s beside point but the weirdest thing about antisemitism becoming the all purpose British accusation is the notion that England has ever liked or given a fuck about the Jews
@RedIsDead
@thucydiplease
These are both great but has anyone posted that her trainers tried to find her a boyfriend, but she didn’t like him so she named him Stupid Toilet
@cushbomb
In Prague there's a park/historical site with a big fat bear living in it, and people would throw grocery store rotisserie chickens off a medieval stone bridge for him to devour

@itplol
Former waiter here: they’re awful. Also lots of high end caterers add a hefty service charge, use it to pay an hourly wage, then skim the rest. I tip well but tipping should be abolished
@willmenaker
Lorraine reminded me of that Tom Friedman column where he said the Airbnb experience thing where you could kayak with a stranger was gonna change everything. The rightest man alive!
@isaiah_bb
I remember rooting for the Axis-of-Evil Avengers. And also wondering whether Mark Millar, who’d I’d vaguely thought of as a Scottish leftist, was doing Judge Dredd/Verhoeven style parody or just selling out
@HeerJeet
As a longtime playwright and leftist, it’s because both are about policing boundaries: you can be a weirdo as long as it fits approved guidelines that preserve the status quo. It doesn’t hurt that you need local rich people for funds, or that the NYT has a monopoly on criticism

@ardent_4ng3l
Except I’ve lived in LA for 8 years and I’ll still walk a mile to go to the grocery store because I lived in NYC for 17 years before that

@Atrios
Hey now let’s not disparage people who can’t get through a whole sentence without uh... ( wanders into the kitchen to find a seltzer, does not return)
I'm Gen X and I really don't understand when a Gen X person gets mad at millennials. Every millennial I know is in middle age and freaking out about all the same stuff I've been freaking out about for the past 12 years. They even think the bands I liked in college are good

@steelydante
The Manhattan Plaza. Even today a good portion of it is subsidized artist housing. My uncle lived there and when we visited I hung out with that dude’s daughter (we were like 8)
