@BigMikey as an avid devotee of the original, (a) how dare they release it AFTER tornado season and (b) idk it looks like a soulless beat-for-beat remake of the original 😕

I decided to go back and read my morning newsletters to see if anything has happened on the mifepristone case, and just to demonstrate how egregiously unserious the NYT is... (they did me the favor of highlighting the relevant text already)

@BrentSullivan my concern is not for the avid Trumpers who would show up to rallies and protests, but the uninformed and apathetic who would vote for him because they have forgotten the chaos of his first term and are only thinking about their present dissatisfaction with Biden not making them instant millionaires.

@MrGoat @th3j35t3r it's stochastic terrorism, same thing he's been doing for the past 8 years.

Day 1: screenshot and post reactions to morning news
Day 2: screenshot morning news, no energy to post reactions
Day 3: just react to morning news in my head
Day 4: don't even read the morning news

Kids, help.

@VelvetDuchess as long as there's a tree! 😊👍

@VelvetDuchess ☹️

@VelvetDuchess I was starting to get discouraged because I ran out of coins & diamonds REALLY fast and then some of my designs didn't even get 4 stars.

How do I add you as a friend? I clicked the link you posted but it just took me to the app store, I'm not even sure they planted a tree :(

@VelvetDuchess LOOK!! 🤩

@th3j35t3r why can't we see her face? how can we be sure that's even her in the photo? she's definitely the type to take a picture of her cousin holding puppies because she hates animals and claim it's her for the PR

@sfleetucker they're also pretty crowded, and from what i hear they're almost never on time. i assume the majority of people driving/taking cabs into NYC (especially at rush hour) do so because they need to, not because they want to.

like, if you need the money and you're gonna do it in a way people HAVE to pay, just raise taxes on the rich.

I hate this world and everyone in it.

it's the dumbest such program in the country, as if rush hour traffic is caused by people going to downtown Manhattan for funsies

why, because Charles has been in a coma for the last 8 years? gee I wonder what might have happened that would change how Trump sounds between 2016 and 2024

that's not a criticism, that's just a statement of fact. a criticism would be to say that it's the most corrupt, malignant, and aggressively fascist in all of history.

who are these people and how have they missed an entire generation whose lives have been made so miserable by our predecessors that we long for the sweet release of death? we don't contemplate death with dread or pretend it's not inevitable, we contemplate it with anticipation. to quote one of the highest choirs of angels in one of the best religious movies ever made: "and then this failed experiment called existence will cease to be."

this whole piece is so obnoxiously presumptuous. "you only get one life, live it to the fullest!" why? what difference does it make? the assumption that living = Doing Stuff just causes me more stress. tell me I have a year to live. if I go see the Grand Canyon, I'm still gonna die. if I don't go see the Grand Canyon, I'm still gonna die. and either way, I can't take those memories with me. I will plunge into nothingness regardless. if I die tomorrow? good. I've been waiting.

@MrGoat it can definitely be loud, but i don't find it annoying. it's almost like white noise, and it's the hallmark of summer. even animal crossing has cicadas in july and august!

... what do you want the cops to do about it? shoot the cicadas? 😒
