Still, I wanna be sedated, Ramones. Please advise.

And this, folks, is yet another reason to never set up facial recognition on your phone. Don’t be part of a lazy plot point, use a passcode!

I’ve watched too much antique roadshow and counting on finding a million dollar gem in the junk I hoard. That’s my retirement plan. No there’s no plan B.

A world ruled by force rather than law is a world where no one is safe. That's exactly where this train is heading.

Stop saying that all Schumer and Jeffries ever do is write strongly worded letters. Bullshit. They're not strongly worded at all.

My whole life, advocating war has been fed to me as “the adult position,” akin to drinking your coffee black or reading the business section of the newspaper. Let’s be very clear — war is the childish nonsense of impulsive destructive idiots playing baby-brained video games with real human lives.

We need an age limit and recall powers

Reminder for everyone operating at situationally-diminished capacity.

If you let him get away with this, he’ll do it with Iran and whatever other neocon bugaboos have been lingering around conservative media since Obama first started running. Maybe Greenland but less intense because white. One of them will invariably respond in the mainland U.S. Stop him before then.

Can we get a break from this nonsense?

Again stop putting dumb white men in charge.

U.S.: “Borders are SACROSANCT… unless we want to bomb and invade your country for its resources. But the people affected by our violence BETTER NOT COME HERE!!!”

Next time you look at your greatly increased monthly bill for healthcare, remember that Republicans chose to use the money set aside for supplements to defray your costs to, instead, invade Venezuela to make ExxonMobil even richer. Thank them with your votes.

73% of the U.S. uses social media but people are telling me the apps and algorithms don’t matter. Combine that with the literacy crisis and the hostile government takeover of mainstream media and you have a ticking time bomb

I am not seeing coverage about this act of war as illegal. This should be the frame on every serious news show.

This administration is going to “run” Venezuela when it can barely run the United States?

You should be embarrassed to be a member of congress and issuing anything other than impeachment resolutions. You're in the model UN. They should give you legos and a propeller hat

The president unilaterally decided to attack a sovereign nation and kidnap its leader, and now he says he's just going to run that county himself for a while too. Call your representatives now and demand they impeach him.

Hi! Are you doomscrolling? Do you have something fun planned today? Naps and trips to Costco count! If your job does not involve being on social media, I recommend logging off and doing something else. Lots of options, including reading a book, going to a museum and watching the gay hockey show. 🏒

i don't want to experience the next great evolution of immersive worldbuilding i want to be dunked in a bog

Can't help but feel like this is one of the reasons why the Constitution says If a dude in office does an insurrection, don't let that motherfucker hold office again Bc clearly they cannot be trusted with power & control over the levers of government, & they do not care about democratic constraints

Once again, Trump's actions as president are both unprecedented and very much precedented

People are going to try and lure you into debates about whether Maduro was a good guy or not and the thing is, it doesn’t matter for the purposes of discussing whether violent kidnappings and extrajudicial murders by the US government are ok. No, they aren’t! End of convo.

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts. Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal by @theauthorguy.bsky.social More wisdom in there than would be expected from such a funny, fantastical book. 🙏🏽🤪

Oy. Not surprised. But still: Oy 🫤

Love it. A must-read from @joho.bsky.social, reminding Prasad, Bhattacharya, Makary et al., reminding us that the U.S. is facing several disease outbreaks, so they have a great opportunity to show the rest of us how their way is “better”. We’re waiting…

it is painful to think about how back in 2016, we were all running around going “lol that was the WORST YEAR, nowhere to go but up, huh”

Resisting him almost always works, trying to bargain with him never ever works

If we acknowledge that Trump just serves Putin, everything becomes clear. Putin's word is Trump's law, although Putin lies as much as Trump. Trump does not care about Ukraine, Europe or NATO. Trump will not offer Ukraine any benefit whatsoever, nor has he done so far.

Shaming rarely works on most people, so I will simply say: follow the facts, both scientific and economic, for they tell the same story: The pandemic is far from over. SARS-CoV-2 is still spreading; COVID-19 is still disabling millions today. It's never too late to align one's conduct with reality.

May her memory be a blessing and serve as an example to all of us on what it means to be a patriot and a public servant. ❤️‍🩹

A Bay Area legend passes. Thank you for all the knowledge, Betty.

Betty was one of the most generous people I had the privilege of interviewing. An extraordinary person who lived an extraordinary life.

They ignored a lawful subpoena, recycled public records, and conveniently left out Donald Trump. This is not transparency.

BREAKING: The Democratic National Committee will NOT release its long-awaited autopsy on Trump's 2024 win. The report is completed but Dem leaders decided it could distract from their winning streak, so it will remain secret. Not good. Details here: newrepublic.com/article/2045...

New article from me today about the new study of Finland's basic income experiment that found recipients of unconditional income had 33% better mental health than the control group that got the same amount of money with conditions. I also dive into a lot of other evidence about UBI and mental health

Really seriously please take the 30 seconds and actually fill out the form.

I don't know, Aaron. I think we need to take this seriously. In fact, after surveying hundreds of years of history in the past few days, I've written an article assessing the originalist case here: papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

I’m not making free content for a website owned by a guy who thinks my family existing is a form of genocide against white people, which is why I’m not going back to that place.

Rob Reiner is a guy you'd fly flags at half mast for.

I love birds so much. Look at this face #birds 🌿

The anti-Semitic mass shooting in Australia will cause a national conversation and policy change. We know this because the 1996 Port Arthur massacre led to significant restrictions on guns. The shooting at Brown will do nothing. We know this because it occurred on the anniversary of Sandy Hook.

What does escalating material precarity do to people's minds? What does the perception of threats, real or manufactured? We are siloed and isolated by the very nature of capitalism, and capitalism itself is grounded in coercive dynamics.

Most of 2025 has been me muttering "I fucking hate it here" in various settings and contexts
