Oh yeah, this is one of those stories that's going to Haunt Me for a while.

Thank you 😊

I know that I sound like a broken record but I think once this society was ok with accepting mass covid deaths just to be able to eat at Applebees then all bets were off.

I would like to personally smack every single person who said in 2024, “It can’t get worse.”

I do actually think there is a serious imbalance on this app. A lot of politics and not enough culture. Some of that has to do with the fact that Black Twitter mostly went to Threads.

Text reads: log in to TikTok. Manage your account, check notifications, comment on videos, and more. Then there is a box with my user name with a trash can icon next to it.

Help, everyone. I thought I deleted my TikTok account a month ago, but this still shows up when I open the app to check if the account is deleted. Is this normal? Is there a way to tell if the account is gone for good?

FFS how many times do they need to reboot Mortal Kombat? It feels like Hollywood has completely lost its guts and only recycles content now.

‘Unbelievably dangerous’: experts sound alarm after ChatGPT Health fails to recognise medical emergencies Study finds ChatGPT Health did not recommend a hospital visit when medically necessary in more than half of cases

Quelle surprise

I think that you're right, and I hate the fact that you've put this thought into my head

Insert sad trombone noise here

I think the Nobel Prize for Peace should go to the people of Minnesota in recognition of their struggle against fascism

oof, stay warm

Just to be clear (because I've had questions):

*** We are currently open to submissions. ***

Ok if you succeed can I have the recipe? I love that stuff so much I could eat it multiple times a day.

I might get my Taiwanese citizenship revoked for this, but I can’t stand pineapples. If I wanted to chew needles coated in sugar, I would just do that.

Pope Leo is JD Vance’s Joyce Carol Oates.

Black folks have a right to go into public spaces and not have slurs hurled at them. Two things can be true. You can be empathetic to this person and their Tourette’s, but also be empathetic to Michael B Jordan, and Delroy Lindo.

Boosting this!! There are still a couple weeks to apply. It will be very fun

Anyone else buy fancy lotions from places like Lush and then forget to moisturize or am I the only one with this personality defect

Niche complaint: why do the fake session transcripts in psychotherapy manuals always sound like they were written by people who haven’t actually talked to anyone in thirty years? A bunch of “I sure am!”s and “Gee, I never thought of it that way”s.

American individualism meant people could not conceive of committing to an incredibly small sacrifice, wearing a mask, for their good & the communal good. Capitalism meant the wheels had to keep going & no one could stop to contain a virus, & people had to or chose work sick. Societal choices.

ChatGPT promised to help her find her soulmate. Then it betrayed her ChatGPT sent screenwriter Micky Small down a fantastical rabbit hole. Now, she's finding her way out.

I initially had sympathy but then theres the bit about how she started with using ChatGPT to outline screenplays and I guess I'm into personal responsibility now

A meme of the boy in the brown hoodie who fist booped the obnoxious MAGA spawn with the word “OKAY” under the image. The background is yellow and the image is black.

He’s already earned legend status.

Third American death linked to ice uncovered by Newsweek While the 23-year-old's death was reported in March 2025, it was not made clear that a federal agent fired the fatal shot.

“A federal agent fired shots through the driver’s side window”.

Sound familiar?

That’s exactly how Renee Nicole Good was killed.

This 23 year old lost his life and ICE’s involvement was covered up for a year.

They’re killing people and hiding the evidence.

i get a lot of publicity emails about books, and the biggest difference between books that lean literary and books that are firmly genre is that the literary emails lead with praise & blurbs, sometimes there isn't even a summary included. what is the book about??? who cares. it is ~illuminating~

Learning that James Van Der Beek’s wife is extremely anti-science and was against him doing chemotherapy in favor of holistic nonsense is so sad. Colon cancer is one of the most survivable cancers. It has a 90% 5-year survival rate when treated early. He could have lived to see his 6 children go on
