The thing about there needing to be a path of redemption for people who have been “canceled” is: there already is a path to redemption and it’s called “redeeming yourself.” The path is open! No one is blocking that! You just have to do it!

There is no ethical consumption of HBO’s Harry Potter series

guy who has made one failed promise after another who owns several businesses that don't make money: i'm gonna build the biggest buildings ever. IN SPACE every fucking moron: here's a billion dollars sir!

Update: I am ONCE AGAIN asking AltNPS to link to a news site. www.cnn.com/2026/04/02/p... AltNPS is not a news source. They do not report the news. They repackage the news and reap the engagement to drive traffic to their merch store.

A staggering new finding from Harvard's Joint Center for Housing Studies: since 2001, the money left over each month for lower-income renters—after paying rent and utilities—has fallen 60 percent to a record low of $210. $210 left over for food, healthcare, childcare, and everything else.

How did people overlook the insidious moral fiber of Donald Trump America will always choose the mediocrity of white men Even if it means they suffer for it

Homelessness is a policy choice not an individual failure.

The DC Metro made possible the creation of vast new urban development areas, including Navy Yard & NoMa in DC; the Rosslyn-Ballston Corridor in Arlington, VA, & Bethesda in Maryland. The Metro reshaped much of the region around public transit, rather than highways.

The IOC has announced a trans and intersex athlete ban requiring an invasive SRY genetic test for female athletes. In the 20+ years trans women were eligible, only one ever competed and none ever medaled. This is solving for a problem that doesn't exist. www.nbcnews.com/sports/olymp...

it's not that LLMs have no utility, I think that's an extremely silly claim to make, it's that their utility is limited right now and you have to understand the constraints and weaknesses. instead it feels like the most enthusiastic LLM users are just dull and lazy and lacking shame and standards

The SAVE Act would cost thousands of Alaskans the ability to vote in this year’s elections, US Sen. Lisa Murkowski said in a lengthy speech pointing out the vast distances Alaskans would have to cross at great financial expense just to re-register to vote ohiocapitaljournal.com/briefs/feder...

The Long Kiss Goodnight is a Christmas movie.

We’re very pleased with this outcome, and we think the jury got it right. Criticizing the police lies at the heart of free speech protection. It’s high time for police to stop suing citizens for unflattering commentary about them. https://ow.ly/Ye0j50Ywnin

On Tuesday, the Governor gave his final State of the State address. His talking points sounded nice on the surface, but they certainly didn’t reflect the reality of everyday Ohioans. On #funfactfriday do you agree with the talking points or our shared reality?

The Ohio State University is expected to close ranks and replace him with his hard-line son, further straining an already highly volatile situation in a region that has seen constant conflict over the past several decades

Vivek Ramaswamy’s running mate, Rob McColley, was one of the leaders in raiding $600M in private, unclaimed funds and handing it over to a billionaire. But today a court stopped him, finding that grabbing our funds to hand to a big donor, without any due process, likely violated the Constitution.

ICYMI: the paperback edition of THERE IS NO PLACE FOR US is now out. I wrote a thread earlier this week about the engineered neglect that millions are living under while this administration funnels a billion dollars a day into a war of aggression.

Does this explain why a primary school was lethally obliterated twice?

I think about this Tony Benn speech much more than I used to

The King is mad

Alt text: a graph showing a massive spike in anti-trans articles per 30 days. The x axis starts in 2012, most of the spike is just in the last decade The spike really starts to kick in around 2017 or so, corresponding almost *perfectly* with powerful sexual predators feeling threatened by MeToo.

Forgive me if I’m wrong but didn’t he write a very stupid book about how there should not be a social safety net

Commentary: Ohio State University can only recover from its numerous scandals by showing actual integrity ohiocapitaljournal.com/2026/02/18/o...

i've decided not to listen to the audio of a teacher reporting a kindergartender because frankly I don't want to become the person that that event would turn me into. but one thing I hope we are collectively coming to grips with is what it meant that we have lived among such people this whole time

Sorry to get radical but I don’t think it’s my job or yours to embrace, accept, understand - and certainly not to use - the thing being sold to us as AI. I don’t like any part of it, so I won’t. I’m missing out? Good, that’s what I want. You’re worried about me missing out? That’s fuckin weird, man.

People experiencing lack of housing are “average” people They are not some mutant strain of human being They are just people… who experienced one thing too many and couldn’t bounce back

valentine's day isn't just for couples, it's also a day to celebrate love. for instance, i would love it if housing prices came down.

Ohio continues to be #1 in public corruption.

If you know these content creators please ask them to stop harassing the community. People facing ethnic cleansing don’t want to be “content.”

I keep seeing posts going "when ICE comes to MY city, we'll be out in the streets even harder" and man, I get that sentiment but I need everyone to understand that the work in Minneapolis is partly confrontational but MORE IMPORTANTLY aaallll the stuff organized in the background to help neighbors

I would be very surprised if a full accounting in the future didn't reveal more than one mass grave at the detention centers. If they're behaving this way in public, what's happening out of sight must be many times more brutal.

“Real World” Ramaswamy. BTW, the same guy who calls Ohioans lazy is the guy who just took a private jet flight from Columbus to Cleveland. #fridaynightflights

Mamdani concentrated on things he could do as Mayor of NYC. He proposed solutions to address housing affordability and grocery deserts rather than posting messaging about the price of eggs. Schumer has a different job, and he's not even suggesting anything concrete to address affordability.

In Ohio, 75 out of 88 counties are mental health shortage areas, according to new study ohiocapitaljournal.com/2026/01/13/i...

Jan. 17, 1926: Benito Mussolini says anti-Fascist members will no longer be permitted to attend Parliament sessions unless they renounce their “absurd” and “die-hard” opposition to his rule. A day earlier members of his party had assaulted the opponents and chased them out.

It’s not too late to get your flu shot!

This isn't housing policy per se, but in a city where infant care averages $26k a year, universal child care would function as a massive, de facto housing subsidy—freeing up roughly $2,100 a month for rent. More politicians need to grasp this: when it comes to "affordability," it's all connected.

this system is fucking atrocious, it's actually a bunch of interconnected systems of power and it took 600 years for these people to get this entrenched and powerful and that's with constant opposition in one form or another it's a generational struggle you just need to stay plugged in and work

Five years ago.

Federal judge temporarily blocks HUD permanent housing cuts for homeless

Bipartisan lawmakers from Ohio and Iowa have introduced legislation to the U.S. House of Representatives aimed at increasing housing access and affordability for college students ohiocapitaljournal.com/2025/12/18/o...

If any journalist wants to talk to a trans man with a PhD in Human Genomics who was trained in labs that studied the evolution of sex, I'm right here Or just keep platforming Republicans who have a 5th grade understanding of biology so they get more trans people killed, sure 🤷🏻‍♂️

I feel awful for our expert civil servants who faithfully served our country only to be fired by unqualified, uncaring, irresponsible men who couldn't even make it one year doing government work. Looking at you Elon and Bongino.

Gender-affirming care for youth is just simple medical care. It isn’t political, it’s not radical. It is small-c conservative care that is what is recommended by doctors to protect the health and lives of kids and teenagers. Please protect trans kids.

Ummm . . . . Migrants are building houses here—not buying them. You know who is buying them and running prices up? Billionaires. Institutional Investors. Hedge Funds.
