Ironic, considering c-suite are probably the only jobs that can really be replaced with AI.

ICE DETAINED MARILYN. Fuck these people. www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...

I'm Almost Dead Why Shouldn't You Be Too seems to be a pervading Trump Administration 2.0 theme.

This is an important message to get out across the board, not just with the military. The utter lawlessness of the last year was fed by a sense of impunity when nobody stopped them. There has to be accountability.

Every Democrat in Congress should put out a video saying troops have an obligation to refuse unlawful orders. Make them prosecute all of you. This isn't a close call. I'd add Republicans too if I thought any of them had the courage to actually cross Trump on this.

dear men: plz find a route to self-actualization that doesn’t run through someone else’s uterus

Really looks like the United States is about to launch a regime change war against Venezuela with: -No casus belli -No authorization from Congress -No allies or international support -No plan for a post-Maduro Venezuela -No preparation for any sort of stabilization or containment of the fallout

Air Travel could be significantly improved by the FAA stipulating three things: * One free checked bag for all customers * Minimum legroom set at Comfort/Premium Economy standard (which was the old pre-9/11 standard legroom) * Disallowing stock buybacks for airlines Every flight instantly better

Great observations on the growing fissure in MAGA.

🧵 We are, in fact, doing the thing again for @onesimplewish.bsky.social. In 2024, the kind people of this community put the money cannon on blast to help grant $75K in wishes for children in foster care. Toys, tech, a suit for job interviews. Here we go again! 👇 www.onesimplewish.org/giving/megwa...

I don't blame people for assuming there's no good, healthy version of online community. Anyone younger than me has probably never seen it. But it used to exist, I swear.

If you're wondering why a large chunk of ostensibly left-of-center pundits are waging war on environmental protections in the form of an "abundance agenda," it's because Silicon Valley has quietly developed a culture of rampant pollution.

I don’t want to claim that American national security has become equivalent to the Argentinian secret police. But I do think the dynamics to create an unaccountable and abusive coercive national security infrastructure are falling into place and we need to acknowledge and reverse this while we can.

the bricks are alive at this day to testify it; therefore deny it not.

1/ Today, ProPublica is running a piece I've been working on for a bit. It's about what happened with a devastating wave of bird flu earlier this year, as egg prices hit record highs. And it's a story that illuminates the ways the U.S. is failing to control what could become the next pandemic. 🧵

40 years ago today the world was introduced to a small boy and his best friend. Happy birthday Calvin & Hobbes.

Friends, I never ask people to retweet/reskeet something I've posted, but this is REALLY important to me and to a lot of dedicated, hardworking people who've been shit on over and over again for the last 10 months. PLEASE reskeet this and PLEASE call your Senators and Representatives.

Given that for my entire life the most insane far-right viewpoints in this country at any given time have become the GOP mainstream position within five years, the fact that the Edges or Fringes of the right are now open blood-and-soil Nazis bodes ill for the future.

Stop doomscrolling and look at these capybaras.

it's fascinating that you can see when exactly the Reagan revolution happened

As we speedrun toward a future that leaves food safety to chance, re-live the national crisis that was the cranberryless Thanksgiving of 1959.

They did this today www.nytimes.com/2025/11/14/t...

No one demanded the market distorting effects of personalist dictatorship more than capital, they should be happy with their choice. bsky.app/profile/carl...

When they say "quick" couscous, they are not counting the time you spend sweeping up the stray bits of couscous that go absolutely everywhere when you're cooking, serving, storing, and reheating the stuff.

There's a lot we have not visualized in a useful way. One of the big ones is the SHIFT in govt employment from "people who cure cancer" and "people who make sure your Social Security comes on time" and "people who care for veterans" to "people who kidnap your neighbors."

Mayor Daniel Lurie appointed this extremely unqualified and inexperienced person and immediately had to walk it back. Nobody can figure out why he appointed her other than "vibes." It does not seem like a good sign.

Remembering how Biden revived the practice of releasing visitors logs and was rewarded by the press for his transparency with a front page story at his weakest possible moment about how he had Parkinson's based on a Parkinson's expert visiting the WH. (Turns out, Biden did not have Parkinson's)

New: Google has chosen a side in Trump's mass deportation campaign. Google is hosting a CBP facial recognition app to hunt immigrants; no indication Google will remove. At same time Google takes down apps for reporting ICE sightings “Big tech has made their choice” www.404media.co/google-has-c...

What sick dogshit place are we living in where "child sex trafficking and pedophilia" is an "issue" and not a "put everyone in jail and throw away the whole jail" situation

if you wanna blame somebody I think Mark Warner is a pretty good choice. also I think a lot of the Biden Go drama was because Warner thought he could and should be President. he's on the ballot in 2026 and does not afaik have a primary challenger

Shutting down the government is a big deal. People have been hurt in big ways as a result of the decision. To have that suffering be for nothing—to re-open the government without actually having protected people’s health insurance and economic well-being—is unconscionable.

i’m just so fucking tired of living through crisis after crisis and feeling like we have to beg for and negotiate with our own representatives to address the crises seriously. they shouldn’t have to be disciplined by the base into mustering an appropriate response to a fucking coup!

I’m not sure they’ve lost interest. This is kind of like saying people stranded on the moon lose interest in playing volleyball.

SNAP cuts hit families hard—but pets go hungry too. You can help: search #petfoodbank in your state, ask shelters. In NJ, Bergen County SPCA’s No Empty Bowls feeds cats & dogs—and they have an Amazon wishlist: 🐾 #SNAP #NoEmptyBowls

Yes, this will do the trick. The terrifying rictus of an employee's fake smile, their anxious eye-measurements of whether they're close enough to trigger the mandatory interpersonal interaction, those are the missing ingredients. Those are the things I was looking for.

The BBB really is an onion: layers and layers of kicking ordinary people and poor people in the teeth. A neverending gobstopper of awful.

Just need everyone to Google the name "Rosalind Franklin" at this moment.

one of the top 5 sitcom characters of all time. the world lost a lot when we lost andre braugher.

So there’s a website called Deer Of St Nicholas which posts Christmas wish letters from Ukrainian children who had their childhood stolen by the war, anyone can pick a child and get them their present and it’s that time of the year again to achingly scroll it for hours again

bobby thought he was dead, he was going to get the dry rub

More proof oh how Facebook's business model is knowingly predatory

😍 No interiors, though...

Grateful to spend two days on the Klamath watching chinook, liberated by dam removal, return to streams from which they’d been precluded since the Titanic sank. Fish are everywhere, in numbers that stagger the mind & locations that biologists figured would take years to repopulate. Too beautiful.

If the sandwich don’t split, you must acquit

It would be nice if the sheer scale of the wipeout made a lot of people in government and around government pause and think to themselves “what happens to me if Democrats get subpoena power next year” when faced with illegal directives from a rotting administrative corpse

I actually believe this has just dawned on him, because he's surrounded himself with a sycophantic information bubble so thick that it took these results to penetrate it. But he's outsourced too much to fanatics, and the GOP is too invested in seizing power through autocracy, to course correct now.

This is a big deal. A very big deal.
