The Times is in the pay of Big Cat

The hell people in Gaza are facing is getting even worse. Heavy rains are bringing floods to areas where nearly 1 million people are living without shelter. Due to damaged sewage systems from Israeli bombings, sewage could mix with the flood waters.

Every couple of years, new USians are re-educated about how difficult prosecuting cops [at any level of government] is. Yet, I am subjected hourly to "THEY MUST BE CHARGED AND PROSECUTED" and it takes everything in me not to reach across the screen to punch folks in the neck, lol.

I yearn to live behind a door this ominous and charming…

I made an absolutely stunning cherry pie last night, my best work on a homemade crust possibly ever, but certainly since I got over my crust making yips… and then…

The value of reading history is you know that in 1860 there were abolitionists who were so demoralized that they thought chattel slavery would be permanent. 5 years later those still alive had lived to see its end.

Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer. He is a computer safety researcher. And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine. In under 1600 words. aphyr.com/posts/397-i-...

I love my book club so goddamn much. It’s such a precious community to me. Thank god for these people, here and now.

actually this is the worst mostly bc of how people smirk when they explain how this one ai hack has made their work more “accessible” as if to say how could I argue with such a good use of technology?? reader I COULD ARGUE but usually they do not have 45 minutes to hear out my full rebuttal!!!!!
