A reminder we can and should ALL call and mock him for this (and encourage him to do something). Here’s his number (202) 224-5824

kind of darkly funny that "gender studies" is the stereotypical "useless degree" because gender studies will help you understand a large and important chunk of the current psychosis in american life

Worlds on fire but a student in their eval said: "Maybe the university can buy Prof. Porras a pony, or like some sparkly crown jewels or something….(1/2)

MoMA is seeking a Research and Development Fellow (a two-year position) to support its R&D Salons! recruiting.ultipro.com/MUS1002MOMA/...

oh shit tomorrow is circle back day already

Found the coolest website that takes random found cassette tapes people submit and digitizes them. I’m listening to an NYC hip hop station from 1994: intertapes.net

The casualties already coming in. Grandmothers in their apartments….

My attitude on this is that I'm not calling them because I think I can change their minds. I'm calling them because it is unthinkable to let them do this without hearing how evil and awful they are. My spite powers me. If I can get just 500 people a day to join me, we could fuck up their day.

Mark Kelly puts out a statement saying "The President of the United States just overthrew a foreign ruler and explained to the American people that this is about taking control of the oil reserves of a foreign nation." This is probably the strongest statement alongside Gallego's I've read.

FYI my LA folks. Also @reptroycarter.bsky.social how about we promise to fast track impeachment ?

I am still in my bed, still have my retainer in. I called.

hey remember when a bunch of middle-aged drunk korean lawmakers climbed the locked gates to the national assembly to hold an emergency session after the president gave illegal orders to the military, all of which ended with said president being sentenced to prison

Nine Delights 2026

Flying to Manila in June and I CANNOT WAIT

rewatching the residence w the tween and it is CRIMINAL that this show wasn’t renewed.

In a new personal best, I lost my Costco card *in* Costco: in between scanning to enter and check out.

Teen and partner watching stranger things finale downstairs / me and tween watching season 3 upstairs (they were too small to start the show til last month)

Well guys, I didn’t make black eyed peas and greens last year and look how that turned out. So this year I am made enough to feed me for approximately one month. Not falling down again.

In 2026 I want all of the decent people to remember one thing. You aren’t meant to be this disciplined, this self-sacrificing to survive. The environment is supposed to support good living. We can have that. You are not a failure. That is politics. That is all.

My neighbor texted me ‘come over to [other neighbors] house, he’s got too much food!’ Walk over and returned with: brisket, egg casserole, spinach and artichoke casserole, a pint of cream of chicken soup, a plate of fruit. And a champagne cocktail in a go cup. I have the best neighbors.

Left my dog at home while I was in CA and she is retaliating by laying ON TOP of me while I sit on sofa

Shout out to my former organizing home. This was our anthem #FreeHer #SkyFundathon2026 youtu.be/Xv8FBjo1Y8I?...

So it should surprise no one that City Council is using the recently commissioned Transient Lodging Study as yet another excuse to expand its long favored program of allowing short term rentals to destroy neighborhoods. www.instagram.com/p/DS553dplNz...

More gems from the family archive of John and Anya Berger, as discovered and compiled by their daughter Katya. Here, on her uncredited contribution to the concept of ways of seeing. www.theparisreview.org/blog/2025/12...

"There is no sense calling for independent or solitary action by something called “the humanities” when that category has been so thoroughly absorbed by concerted attacks on democratic governance, due process of law, rights to privacy, security, assembly, and expression. We are all humanists now."

Now this is how I remember SoCal Christmas

Finally made it to monuments at MOCA and the Brick. Some astonishing works and juxtapositions. Catalogue not available yet, can’t wait to bring students.

Honestly? Living in Alabama. When you live between Selma and Birmingham and Tuscaloosa, it is fairly impossible to fall into the "this is the worst it has ever been and it can't get better" pit. It was way worse for people here, in living memory, and they didn't shrug & give up. So I can't either.

It's annoying to see the hand-wringing over a small number of wealthy people making empty threats to move because of tax increases, when there are actually people leaving desirable places en masse because they can't find affordable places to live

That time of year again!

Drinking red wine and singling all the words to baby beluga, don’t mind me. (Brother and I discussing all the videotapes we watched repeatedly as kids) youtu.be/f29jl4w0Uh8?...

Every Democrat running for office needs to promise investigations and full prosecutions from top to bottom, remove its funding bloat then break up the agency and distribute its core remaining useful functions across other agencies.

ICE detain father shopping on Christmas Eve—then steal his family's groceries. Then 3 agents divvy up his paid for food—taking what they want for themselves. "Can I just get the wife's number to call and let her know?" woman asks. "No, guess he should've complied," agent says. Yakima, Washington

Merry Christmas, everyone!

Look I know folks joke about how bad SoCal folk drive in rain but I just dodged fog, heavy downpours and a mudslide (!) coming back from the desert and every driver around me was on peak safety behavior- appropriate speeds, use of hazards, etc.

I have four brothers and this is accurate as hell for my kids

In the desert visiting family. Made the family trek to the OG del taco in Barstow

Today! #nolasky

Really pushing at the limits of how many tamales one woman can eat in 48 hours

I just donated $250 to the Internet archive. I chose that amount because they perform a vital service in our democracy—digitizing decorating magazines from the 1960s—and because making knowledge accessible to all, for free, is essential. Here’s the link: archive.org/donate Who will join me?

Hey y’all. I just checked the three community fridges by me, the two on lower Jackson and the one on Washington, and all three were completely empty. My family and I are making some stuff for those three, but go check the ones by you! Let’s get people fed! #nolasky

This story would’ve never come out w/o the research, interviews, writing, photography, editing and hard work of trained, experienced journalists. It’s a heartbreaking piece that deserves a read. Subscribe to your local news org and support their work.

One minor problem with this: Louisiana law prohibits dual officeholding.

Eating well over here on the Best Coast

My tía packed me a to go cocktail (I’m in Cali w family) and that’s why New Orleans has always felt *right* to me

Niche SGV treat. Opening your mom’s fridge to find this bottle - a true Christmas gift
