We are so fortunate to be alive at the same time as Queen Latifah. My mom had me fell in love with her song on Q’s Juke Joint and then “Living Single” happened and all the movies. Also, her rap songs were probably my first encounter with feminism. “Who you calling a bitch?” She raised a legion.

The full spiked 60 Minutes CECOT package, clean & subtitled. 1/5

Seriously though, most college events with public speakers are open to the public, including with folks like Vance, what exactly is Weiss offering that local universities have not provided for decades? the answer is nothing and a lower tier nothing.

This is very very bad and I appreciate @yasharali.bsky.social for reporting it in detail

Fuckin' yes

Amen

I just don't understand why D leadership is dead set against impeachment. he's shredding the constitution! his approval is in the toilet! impeachment investigations generally cause presidential approval to fall even more. like, what are they afraid of?

"Okay but do you have any proof it was Manute's? I feel like this could've been anyone's warm-up."

BREAKING: Kilmar Abrego Garcia has been released.

For those of you watching 🏒The Gay Hockey Show™️—aka Heated Rivalry—allow me to go on a neurodivergent rant about how Connor Storrie’s Russian language work is so stunningly perfect that it makes me feel like I have wasted a decade of my life. We begin with this chart and the worst/best vowel ever! 🧵

I'm at the combination

i’m really digging the new democratic catchphrase “from the window, to the wall”

I would enjoy podcasts if they wrote everything down instead of talking and then published it as written text

So grateful to everyone in NYC who mobilized to stop the ICE raid of Canal St. The violence being committed against immigrants is heart-wrenching, but the shows of solidarity we have seen around the country give me so much hope.

Right up your alley @samalcorn.bsky.social

What a great headline

I once asked a bookseller at a large indie store how many people would have to buy a book for it to get the attention of the store buyer and cause an additional order and they said: Three.

We've all seen the Terminator and we know how this ends.

Sometimes I think it’s going to be the librarians who will save us all.

In what little is left of his authentic self, Trump is two things: A New Yorker, and an interior decorator. The only head of state he considers impressive is the Mayor of New York City, and the only thing he really feels pride in, is his interior decorating choices. Mamdani hit him in the heart.

I'm sorry, are we entering an era where the Infernal Algorithm can be defeated by the power of poetry? Do I have that right? Because if so, my depression is officially cured

Autocorrect has become our worst enema.

I'm at the Target boycott, I'm at the Starbucks boycott, I'm at the combination Target boycott and Starbucks boycott

I am gutted to learn of @sfdirewolf.bsky.social (Alice Wong’s) passing. She was always a warm friend, a wonderful spirit, and someone who fostered my own growth. She helped me see that, as a #disabled person with chronic illness, I matter—I am whole. I’ll be posting some of Alice’s work. ❤️ forever

Too few people are talking about the fact that for eight years (2011-2019), while Jeffrey Epstein was raping young girls and trafficking them to hundreds of other rapists from his home base in Palm Beach, Florida, the Florida district attorney was Pam Bondi. Connect the dots.

In the century leading up to 1975, nearly 6000 freighters went down in the Great Lakes. The Edmund Fitzgerald was the last. The last. In 50 years, not a single commercial freighter has been lost in the Great Lakes. Why? It's NOAA. Of course it's NOAA.

Don't you dare cave @whitehouse.senate.gov @democrats.senate.gov

Last night, the Trump Administration sent a letter suggesting Wisconsin should return our FoodShare payments. My response ⬇️

This is fucking brilliant, and you should read it: lithub.com/maybe-dont-t...

Actually, Mr. Potato Head was the name of the inventor

Wait my Twitter account has a banger lemme just repost it

if you are the public defense investigator who just subpoenaed Sam Altman on stage know that i love you and think you are a wonder upon this earth.

I would really love to think that the exactly five years between Four Seasons Total Landscaping and Sandwich Guy Getting Acquitted mark some sort of bookending.

this looks like a trick daffy duck would put up to get bugs bunny into "the oval office"

Okay, grandpa.

This is why they are doing things like shutting down Teen Vogue

my happiness would kill them so I shove joy like a knife into my own heart over and over #SaturdayPoem

"strewn with obstacles" is an interesting way to spell "unconstitutional"

I respectfully* submit: If you manage to become a “disaffected democrat” based on a thing that happens 10 times on half a million student-athletes, you weren’t much of a democrat to begin with.

I very much like the idea of this series. Teen Vogue is really out here meeting the moment.

this is something that individual members of Congress could do tomorrow. The government is shut down so they could use their district offices. I suggested in January that they turn those offices into full on community centers where people could find each other re: mutual aid etc...

Important update from two months into my “experiment” (lol) assigning college juniors and seniors to read whole physical books and then having a seminar where they use the physical book and physical notebooks and their ideas and questions to fill three hours of class time: It rules

That’s the other thing that baffles me about AI and creative writing, actually. The work IS the joy for me. I don’t want to be able to snap my fingers and have a completed “product.” I want to be transformed by the process. I’m an author but I do this because I enjoy the rigor of being a writer.

the Muppets have been real quiet since the Louvre heist

“It’s the same picture”

Yes yes yes
