Alice Wong’s legacy is the political horizon she helped articulate. A horizon where disabled knowledge is central, and care is a shared commitment. She taught us to name grief & rage without collapsing under them, to celebrate disabled brilliance without ignoring the material conditions shaping life

We've raised an entire generation of politicians who's take on things is "if it makes money, it's good". It's the end-game of the neoliberal era, where everything, literally everything, is evaluated based on ROI. It's the "shareholder value" bullshit, but applied to society as a whole.

Just give the President some gold so he can keep hoarding it and displaying it in his golden lair where he spends most of his time sleeping, the President is Smaug, it’s fine, America wanted Smaug as President, it’s what they voted for

Long ago on the hell site I made long list of historically interesting things to use in dnd ttrpgs and I'll start dragging them over here starting with 2000 years-old sapphire ring presumably belonged to Roman emperor Caligula, depicting his fourth wife Caesonia.

I just don’t see how we can pretend even for a moment that anything involving our federal government is remotely normal when the president is covering up his involvement in a child sex trafficking ring. Like, what are we doing here

everybody gonna scam it up some more I see

ahhhh, topped off an excellent week of food with the best batch yet of laziji.

The important thing is not whether the Trump performing sexual favors for Bill Clinton thing is true. The important thing is that we all pretend it’s true, and that someone asks Trump about it every day.

I am honestly a little shocked that I haven't heard more pundits and interview subjects pointing back to the Trump/Miss Teen USA stuff from 2016, in light of all the once-again-increased Epstein scrutiny. I mean, it's right there. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

they are down now, THANK GOD, but this was truly one of the most egregious scams I've encountered in 30+ years of working in the music industry.

protect the pastor at all costs.

Scammers. Every last one of 'em.

golden age of scams

everything feels so scammy.

I'm Jacob Bernstein, and I've just gone over to your house where there are freshly-baked cookies on the counter. "She sits in her kitchen, where cookies were invented, and all cookies are born."

THE EUGENICIST'S GIRLFRIEND by NORA EPHRON AND CARL BERNSTEIN'S SON "Olivia Nuzzi loved him. She loved the eugenicist, even though she was a political reporter and he was then a presidential candidate she had written about." THERE I FIXED IT FOR YOU, NYT

First a woman from the 1300s named Diot Coke, and now this

GREAT JOB ALERT! ProPublica is hiring another senior editor for our Local Reporting Network. The editor will edit the work of 4-5 reporters from our partner newsrooms, collaborating on projects that spur change. 💰 Salary range: $150,000 to $195,000 ➡️ Apply: propub.li/3JAIqme

The copy here is an all-time example of NY Times passive voice. Matt Gaetz has no agency here. Even in the image, look at the phrase "left vulnerable to exploitation." Who exploited her?

truly. I have been far more uptight about putting things in email when managing bands.

What the Epstein files show is the *solidarity* of many men-across class, race, religion, profession & party affiliation-in the global political project of keeping the boot on women's necks. People have no problem understanding class solidarity among the rich. Why can't they see gender solidarity?

It's not just that he's a pedophile, he was the least popular pedophile

Just incredible work everyone involved in the slop business, great job.

I’m going to think about watching this moment unfold in real time for a long time. for all the horrors coming out of Chicago and its metro area, the principled courage of everyday people, in the face of such intimidation, never ceases to astonish. www.chicagotribune.com/2025/11/12/k...

OMG

New York Times killed Weinstein and Epstein stories but just asked Ms Rachel if she was funded by Hamas.

this week I have made sourdough pizza, masala dosas, gongbao jiding, and teamed up with the 15-year-old on raspberry/pistachio macarons. tomorrow I am going to get back on the sourdough boule train.

Anyway... did we ever figure out whether or not women ruined the workplace?

Jeffrey Epstein advised Steve Bannon that the lawyers representing Brett Kavanaugh in his confirmation hearing should accuse Christine Blasey Ford of being on medications that cause false memories or memory loss.

I just googled this man like 'ew who tf is this Tom Barrack guy' and the answer is the sitting, Donald Trump-appointed U.S. Ambassador to Turkey

you worked for a man you knew harmed children and you couldn't find the decency to quit...

Also please note that the moment Rs actually seat Grijalva is almost certainly the sign that they've gotten an R to switch to NOT releasing the Epstein files.

forever and always.

I have some fresh questions about how Wolff got almost 18 months of unrestricted access to both the Trump campaign and, later, the West Wing to write his book (that curiously doesn't mention this at all to my knowledge)

I tracked down the people that uploaded duplicate copies of BK records and all of their emails to me are like "lol, our bad" "it was a mistake" "can you rescind the takedown please" "oopsy" IN WHAT WORLD IS DISTRIBUTING A RECORD YOU DON'T HAVE THE RIGHTS SOMETHING YOU ACCIDENTALLY DO?!

spoke with the executive director of my local food bank today and got this really incredible line: "if you donate 1 can of green beans, we can give away 1 can of green beans. but if you donate a dollar, we can give away 6 cans of green beans"

‘Nickname’ is not ‘nick’ + ‘name.’ It was originally ‘ekename.’ ‘Eke’ was the Middle English word for “also” or “in addition.” Since ‘ekename’ began with a vowel, people used ‘an’ before it. Over time, 'an ekename' became 'a nickname.'
