getting lost in boston is fun because I turned around on a street corner three times and some guy yelled “hey stupid! the bus is that way!” very helpful interaction and accurate insult, 10/10 no notes
one time I walked around a building a couple times looking for a bathroom and this guy went “this bitch thinks she’s on a merrygoround, where the fuck are you tryna go? bathroom? one floor down to the right behind the door that says bathroom.”
My very first time in Boston. I was absolutely miserable, trying to drag my giant suitcase up a lengthy set of stairs in the pouring rain. This guy who had already reached the top looked back at me with the most pure expression of disgust I’ve ever seen in anyone’s eyes, marched back down the stairs, grabbed my suitcase, carried it to the top, left it there for me, and walked away without ever saying a word. I think about him often.
For the people in the notes going “why is Boston like this”: a) the insults are a way to show you have no ulterior motives when helping someone (and don’t need to be thanked or repaid), and b) Boston was settled by the Irish
genuinely can't tell which part might be funnier, MTG slowly putting together the dots on this, now, at the end of all things, or the possibility that she thinks that nobody else has already
Marjorie Taylor Greene on Trump: “It’s astonishing really how hard he’s fighting to stop the Epstein files from coming out that he actually goes to this level.”
(It seems you can take them out and turn off optimized battery charging "until tomorrow", and then put them back in the case; but that is entirely too many steps)
And, unlike on other devices, it doesn't seem you can force "charge to 100%", as the phone only allows fiddling with those settings when the AirPods are out of the case, and thus not charging.
In a normal democracy, a total collapse of party leadership would result in an no-confidence vote and immediate snap elections to find leaders who can lead
it's pretty funny the sheer number of people who, seconds into the second trump administration, decided the time was ripe to go full fash instead of waiting a little bit to see if people were actually cool with nazis now. every major company was like, we need to court the burgeoning nazi demographic
I think what happened is basically that a bunch of consultants misread the rightward swing among Gen Z last election as a permanent vibe shift which is why the weaseliest Dems sprinted to do podcasts with hitlerites instead of waiting three months for trump to fuck everything up like he always does
Congratulations to all the Democratic candidates who won tonight. It’s a reminder that when we come together around strong, forward-looking leaders who care about the issues that matter, we can win. We’ve still got plenty of work to do, but the future looks a little bit brighter.
This was specifically for changing the calendar in the Gmail vacation message- seems the only way to update that was via locale, according to the Internet
If someone with a name I don't recognize is gonna randomly reach out (on bluesky, signal, discord, tumblr, carrier pigeon, whatever), they really have to do better than "hey" as a first message if they don't want to be immediately blocked and reported for spam
I'm not sure you can get more marie antoinette than taking away food stamps before thanksgiving while you build a gold and marble dance hall so the other crooks can bring bribe you over a badly-cooked (argentinian) steak
Sunday President diarrheas on the country, Monday President bulldozes White House, Tuesday President steals $230 million, Wednesday President... fucks a horse? Let's see if he fucks a horse.
I've been playing Dying Light the Beast and it's a lot of fun EXCEPT every time the main character talks
He's the whiniest, most petulant, male protagonist I can remember; sounds like some people I've met in real life but this is my first time noticing it in a game
in 20 years, the most extreme, reactionary, "return to tradition" masculinity influencer is going to adopt this uniform and you'll have to calmly explain that this was once considered non-traditional

This diagram shows the full framework of the Protect Portland Initiative — the coordinated framework structure our City will use to respond to threats of federal overreach and militarization.
In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.
