I feel like I should point out the caption on this stupid Instagram photo (I’m not seeing it in the embedded photo; I had to click through to the post) because I read it and now I can’t stop thinking about it:

That could be his perpetual campaigning slogan. Wouldn’t stop the lumpen from voting for him, anyway. Read more

Commenters going around really arguing that ‘well, actually, he doesn’t literally own billions of dollars in cash, so this criticism is nonsense’ and ‘Musk’s answer is good, because space travel is necessary for the future.” The irony regarding short-sightedness is palpable... Read more

I can’t believe the people legitimately out here saying that we shouldn’t tax Musk fairly (because, be honest, that’s what’s at stake here) just because this billionaire shithead wants to put people in indentured servitude on Mars. Like, that’s literally what he has said—if people can’t afford his space travel, they… Read more

You’re right. No reason we can’t do both at once. But we’re not. And let’s remember the massive thumb on the scale that is the imfluence the wealthy have on those politicians to keep perpetuating the system that benefits them both to the detriment of the larger body politic. Read more

My boyfriend never had dish issues, mostly because he was a distinct ‘use one bowl over and over again and just wash it in between, thus only needing one bowl, one fork, one pan, etc’ Read more

I would make the argument that, if the dishes are piling up like this to the point where anyone with working eyes see they obviously need to be cleaned, then yes, she shouldn’t have to ask. Read more

Look at me helping! Sure, it was half-assed, and I decided to stop when I got bored, but at least I did something. Read more

This was my misery when I was married. My ex had endless tolerance for clutter and dirt and never did a lick of housework. (I also did all the cooking.) I tried everything, even leaving money on the floor, and it would just stay there until I picked it up. It was one of many, many reasons I’m very happy to be single… Read more

It’s so painful to watch. It’s also a reminder that a bit of extra money can help so much. Being able to hire a cleaning lady to come in once a week makes a big difference. I’ve relied on such amenities in my own relationships. I don’t think I could handle the kind of daily grind that this women so heroically faces. I… Read more

I feel this woman to the depth of my bones.  Read more

I’m gonna miss the neon and black! It seemed to fit her dark aesthetic, too. I was completely unprepared to scroll past the Marilyn Monroe hair in the second pic and see Billie’s dead-eye stare. Read more

I am feeling this.  She is giving me blonde Joan Jett vibes and I like it.  Read more

The UK police (not just the Metropolitan Police) have been problematic for many years: I’m old enough to remember the Miners’ Strike and the Battle of the Beanfield. Recently there has been appalling behaviour towards BLM and ER protestors, and, locally to me, the Sheffield Street Tree protests. They’ve no interest in…

This reads as a rude awakening for the certain type of white women who strenuously believed that the police work for them. Read more

I’m not sure it’s possible to NOT be irrationally afraid of stranger danger when you’ve had that fear programmed into you since childhood. I do think it’s unreasonable to not inspect that fear, how rational it actually is and most importantly the purpose it serves — especially when you are trying to make a thoughtful… Read more

That Charlotte Shane essay linked is absolutely one of the best bits of writing about violence against women I’ve ever read and I’d encourage everyone to read it. Read more

Failing upward. It’s the Rich White Man’s Way. Read more

Anyone that has been following New York politics of the last 20 years are not surprised by any of this. Remember, Cuomo was the person in his father’s campaign when he was running against Mayor Koch who came up with the campaign slogan “Vote for the Cuomo and Not the Homo!” That was his first major achievement in… Read more

I mean fuck this serial sexual harasser, but he literally sent thousands of seniors to their death. How the fuck is this guy still in office? Read more
