TFW they ask you to draw a map that looks like The Very Hungry Caterpillar, but then don't use the map 'cause it's not gritty and realistic enough.

ew.com/paula-deen-a... Paula Deen's attorney says people 'shouldn't take any issue' with her using N-word in context

We're not getting to the moon 1st, because something else is more important to us: firing all the women, Black folk, trans folk, and anyone that shows empathy towards them.🤷🏿‍♂️ The last time we got to the moon, we did it with Black and white women computer programmers, scientists, and mathematicians.♥️

I am embarrassed to be an American.

Trump is just itching to say it was “woke” to end slavery or to liberate Europe from the Nazis.

We're doing it. We're watching Hallmark's Mystery 101. A lit professor whose dad writes thrillers and also taught at her same institution is letting one student help create the midterm which will be crime fiction and the other students will have to guess "who dunnit."

Wow, you are telling me for the first time, i am learning

This isn't Road Rules, Sean.

GenAI just polluting everything it touches.

It was always a scam to silence any pushback from the voters they claim to represent.

Please assist if you can.

Remember when Democrats were saying we shouldn’t press Sinema?

……. She was crying at camps and then not taking meetings and again she gets a credit for what others have said for years and are discounted for years

You want the key right now ? Keep the marginalized in their homes Keep trans people at home and safe in their body Keep Black women reseourced and into jobs Keep immigrants away from camps

Ny ancestors farmed this land for centuries and never received welfare, get off your asses and toat that barge and lift that bale!

The wha you protect and support your neighbors isn’t dunking on the folks you hate It’s showing up in love

JD Vance's daddy, Trump, will never love him as hard as he tries, so the only thing he can do is be a pest parroting talking points in impotence on the margins of the administration, between luxury vacations with his family.

I think there’s a difference between “respecting the popular will” as in, say, acknowledging that racist fantasy got the other guy a lot of votes, and humouring racist fantasy because you think doing so might get your guy votes too

UPDATE: SUPER TROOPERS IS OFFICIALLY TAKEN. Keep em coming

This app is disgusting the way it deletes Palestinian accounts.

Wanna trigger a racist white Brit? Simply post a photo of Princess Meghan on Twitter.

But have you read Chuck Schumer's letter!??!

So, the Committee Chair aided in the crime.

I really truly thought all the way to the very last possible letter of ‘grueling’ that OP was gonna say ‘make the experience less gruyère’

Great Value Terry Bollea

So yeah. About Zohran selling out. Get ready for that to happen a lot. He’s also going to be the boss of the NYPD.

And fraudulently avoiding the swearing-in process? Please, do share your expertise.

Dying eating this like old Japanese people when they eat mochi on New Year’s Day

NEW — Speakers are rallying Chicago protestors at today’s march against Trump’s desire for a federal takeover. “If Jesus was the immigrant, then we know without a doubt that God is on the side of the oppressed, the vulnerable and those fighting for freedom today.” thetriibe.com/2025/09/chic...

He keeps getting banned so I hope we can help him to help his family quickly

Black Card: stamped. I LOVE running into white people who came up around Black folks. 🖤����

The "terrible 2s" are lowkey hilarious

The airports of the entire eastern seaboard have been on ground stop for the past 3+ hours. Guess how I know.

ProTip: “Martial Law” needn’t be “declared” in order for Martial Law to be carried out in practice. There will quite literally never be a formal “Martial Law” announcement.

This all feels so American They even took the Sarah Palin slogan www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Friends I’m running a 5K in Brooklyn on October 12 as a fundraiser for Gaza & UNRWA. If you can, join us or donate here! getinvolved.unrwausa.org/fundraiser/6...

Is Matt Yglesias on here? I have words to [redacted]

People forget Eve is from Philly, I feel like.

It used to all be called Saran Wrap but now we have to call it cling wrap because of Woke.

Cooked. Ass. Country.

Come to think of it, we should really do more blind dates on the pod. Nothing romantic obviously, but I should take two random historian friends of mine and put them together to talk about a movie we love. So if you’re a historian and you want in on this idea, message me with a movie you love.

OMFG! No one asked for a Chris Everett tribute!!! We need to move past that hating ass hater.

We lost my dog nephew early this morning. Please send prayers and kind thoughts for my sister and her family. 💔

Thought this was about my fish spread hahaha

White America really and truly believes that it’s the sworn oath itself that determines whether the witness testifies truthfully. Worship of the Written Word is wild. It’s 1 of the 15 tenets bolstering White Supremacy Culture.

Happy for Sabalenka. My problematic fave did it!!

It was a t*nkie but that particular group isn't too far behind.

Editing the next set of podcast episodes in which I bring together random friends to meet for the first time and get drunk while watching romcoms.

Canned fish spread & some beers for the weekend

Resistance is futile.

It's gonna suck when we find out Tom Hanks wasn't disinvited to West Point because of any criticism of Trump but rather because of his role in Bosom Buddies. Because "it confused Trump"

It’s open White Nationalism as formal U.S. policy, now. This is what White America chose for us.

had a drink for every time I got recognised from twitter this evening and lasses whew

This week's patreon post is about a map that wasn't. It's the story of the map that I drew for a forthcoming book published by @mysteriousbookshop.com called "The Glass Eel" and how the map wound up on the cutting room floor. The post is free, so give it a read! www.patreon.com/posts/case-o...

Rib meat don’t count get you one

Just been reminded that I have some really lovely friends

Say whaaaaaaaaat? Everybody get your tee from Mox!

Probably a good time for all of you to familiarize yourself with the work of Arno Breker, widely known as "Hitler's favorite sculptor," since his work is starting to look pretty familiar right about now www.artnet.com/magazineus/f...

Happening soon — At 5:00 p.m., protestors are expected to gather in downtown Chicago for the Coalition Against the Trump Agenda’s emergency “Chicago Says No Trump, No Troops” protest. thetriibe.com/2025/09/chic...

I am NOT okay. #TeamGracie ✨

Congratulations to Tony Redman on the launch of his book 'The Building Stones of Suffolk' www.suffolkinstitute.org.uk/suffolk-inst...

James Patterson is a corporate conglomerate of formulaic ghostwriters in a trench coat, James Patterson can easily keep cranking out bestsellers post-mortem.

Free DC merch from @moxiest.art could kinda slap?

Listen to the vanishing sounds of Mali’s legendary music scene Over decades, Mali produced global stars and became a hub for West African guitar. Now, musicians are struggling to hang on amid economic and security crises wapo.st/3JSxmjU

An epidemic of needing to git gud is sweeping the world as early reactions to Silksong come in. May need another lockdown at this rate.

Autistic people have more chronic pain from hypermobility, EDS, migraines, and sensory overwhelm etc. and so take more Tylenol/acetaminophen/paracetamol than non-autistic people do. And autistic people also have more autistic kids than non-autistic people do. This is not rocket science. #autism

Goodnight from Bob Kaye’s food truck on Barge House Lane, where his display of a: ‘HAVE YOU SEEN THE GHOST BEAR?’ poster has sparked a lot of conversation. Goodnight from Kit Wyantt, already ruing his purchase of the sleep-denying Book of Bruised Places. Goodnight from Hookland.

White people gotta be able to admit whiteness is a problem to be down with me. Gotta be working on that whiteness. Can't just get freaked out by descriptions of the phenomenon of whiteness. Hopefully can feel relief that generalizations do NOT apply to them, & if not work on that.

"It bears a striking resemblance to the creature from ALIEN." "It's six weeks old, Raylan!" "Just don't come runnin' t' me when it busts out your rib cage." 👀 Timothy Olyphant with that long game 😅

You don't get to live in a civilization which bombs, destabilizes, exploits and extracts from the global south and then bitch when the victims of the bombing, destabilization, exploitation and extraction move to your country to get away from the misery your society caused them.

If your "knowledge" of what it's like to be Black in the UK / Ukraine / China / Korea / Thailand comes from what you've seen on Fox News rather than being there yourself? You can catch a block, quick. Yes, there are super racist people in all of these places. Happens. There are also anti-racists.♥️👍🏿

It’s so frustrating watching a final when C. Everett is commentating. The “analysis” is so completely one sided as to be useless. You’d think listening to her that Anisova is the 4X grand slam champion trying to defend her title & Sabalenka the one who lost her only final love & love. 😡

White people who get triggered when they hear mention of white people, who have been triggered a lot by this, are a certain kind of white people.

My lady said “Kawhi-et as it’s kept he took 48 million dollars under the table…”

The thing about ‘what about Chicago/Detroit etc’ is these are great places that should be much greater & every measurable pattern of crime & poverty or whatever boogie man you want to apply is also traceable & it can be traced back to pulling resources & dipping because too many Blackfolk live there

Released on Tuesday, Cass Sunstein's new book "On Liberalism" mounts an intellectual defense of liberalism against its critics across the political spectrum. In a Q&A @politico.com, he discussed why he wrote it and what he sees as the most significant threats to liberalism in the US and abroad:

I will miss Gracie every day until my last.

Mark September 5th 2025 as an important day in the future history of the american holocaust

My radio producer called me "sweetie" today when she saw me in the field at the protest. Hey I'm a grown woman serious journalist doesn't it look like it?!

Idiocracy is fundamentally a movie in soft praise of eugenics but holy fuck if it didn't predict some of these really shitty values, behaviors, and aesthetics.

Males seem way more intrusive—WAY more physically obtrusive. I’ve raised 2 Ridgeback gals from 7 weeks old. Just acquired my first male Ridgeback and this is the first time literally my coffee table has been knocked over lolol Rex is a GOON! He expects people to move out of his way!

Ok so, male dogs are VERY different than females.

PAID OPPORTUNITY: Hey #authorsky I’m looking for a fact checker for my book. Please feel free to contact me via DM! #writingcommunity

From Princess Meghan and Harry’s visit to Nigeria 🇳🇬

The otherwise blessing of foresight is a curse in 2025.

It is a truly painful time to exist as a highly intelligent American.

Just turned on The School of Rock #nfotd

Whether RFK Jr committed perjury has nothing to do with “hearsay.”

You don’t even know why hearsay is.

Honestly, I just like looking at the title of the Blocklists that I've been added to lol.

I know we are meant to get triggered by his posts, but: wow!

People would have thrown their panties at Barack is Secret Service would let them. And that is what is the impetus of Trump threatening venues to not showcase him being booed.

Wrong. RFK Jr. was testifying. Stop going along with Republican nonsense.

New discovery: During excavations at the #Roman fort in Schramberg-Waldmössingen, a Roman workshop for the production of hobnails for the caligae (boots) of Roman soldiers was discovered. 🏺 #archaeology www.denkmalpflege-bw.de/publikatione...

Tom Hanks did more to help that greatest generation thing and lionize veterans more than like anyone with saving private ryan and band of brothers....but he doesn't like the fascist so he must be disavowed

Reading books is becoming an act of resistance.

This isn’t how criminality is determined, Sherlock. It is much more nuanced than your [predictable] Worship of the Written Word dictates. You look STUPID, arguing what you’re arguing; the Chairman fraudulently avoided the swearing-in process, SO THAT RFK JR. COULD LIE OPENLY WITHOUT THINKING TWICE.
