If he just changed his attitude about the ice a little bit… he could be so happy. Like, just do it for yourself, buddy

This guy sucks.

Claim: “Prices on beef are way down…”

Reality: Prices on almost all groceries are up. Beef has increased an avg. of 22% since the beginning of 2025.

Anyway, I can’t afford real fur and I am an unconvincing smoker, but I do feel called to the tweezers….

90s. Smoking cigs is also a rejection of our health obsessed culture and a way of expressing, clean girl aesthetic and purity culture bc smoking is, of course, sexy.

*thin eyebrows. More 90s. Definitely happening.

real fur to come back. Is it possible there’s an arguement for ethical real fur? Fake fur is undoubtedly bad for the environment, but real fur is the skin of cute critters so idk. Anyway its back.

*cigarettes. Maybe fur and cigarettes are related bc they’re both things we all agreed were bad in the

Things I think are back in style in 2026:

*real fur. I’ve been thinking this for a little while and then this week I saw that Vogue wrote an article about it, so clearly I was onto something. My theory is that the current obsession with natural fibers and rejection of “vegan leather” makes room for

More than 75,000 Post readers cancelled their subscriptions after the recent cuts. An even larger number bailed after Bezos killed the endorsement of Harris, but now the decline feels terminal. Bezos does not want a great paper with a conservative opinion page (like the Wall Street Journal).

When you put it like this, a $75 million bribe to Melania and gutting the Washington Post seems like a small price to pay.

Please no more rejected baby monkey content, I’m begging

I thought that was a chicken nugget at first glance

We're all going to have to keep paying higher prices because the president is throwing a tantrum

It remains astounding how unfaithfully the media covers Trump’s ramblings day to day. We’re a decade into this — and his rambling gets worse — and yet the coverage continues to portray his public appearances as if they’re coherent.

i hate to be the “both sides” guy about trump’s incoherency but please don’t forget that aoc said “uh”

Dfw a couple of sloppy inches is the very most we can expect :(

My heart can’t take it 😭

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

Deleted tiktok finally. The “pizzagate was right” videos were the final straw. I can’t take it anymore!

Every. Single. Time.

I did want to see this. Thank you

They think good is weak & evil is based, because they are wicked. ICE is doing wicked things & hiring wicked men to do them. It is difficult to look such a thing in the eye, but that is all there there is to them

Max and I watched it last week and it was a trip. Very campy. Max loved it.

The new Burbs show is fun. Solid watch for both the grown ups and the tweens in our house.

photo of Pam Bondi testifying in the foreground as a group of 7 women and 1 men raise their hands

Likely-historic photo by NBC News of all the Epstein victims asked to raise their hands if they've not yet been asked to meet with the DOJ as Bondi testifies in foreground

Yessss.

When someone tells me how old their child is I say "that's such a fun age" even if it's 37
