It would be the first thing he's given in his life and it was to a Democrat. Now that's a story.

I guess the Dems don’t ever want me to donate another dime to any of their incumbents

Anyone else get @kevinmkruse.bsky.social and @gtconway.bsky.social confused when quickly scrolling through your timelines?

“Someone” cancelled my family’s flight out of the country at the last second. We got our boarding passes. We checked our bags. Went through security. Then at our gate our reservation ‘disappeared.’

Charlie Kirk's memorial was a flop. The pundit class panicked, thinking it was going to be some huge win for Trump. But really, it exposed why the MAGA movement can't expand past its base. The thrid rate Christian rock exposes why. www.salon.com/2025/10/01/m...

I would like to take this opportunity to remember Melissa Hortman, a serving Democratic politician assasinated by a right-winger.

Goodnight, loon Goodnight, all those waiting for The News to come soon Goodnight, "proof" of life Goodnight, garbage wife Goodnight, weird hand bruises Goodnight, red hat losers Goodnight, nobody Goodnight, cow And goodnight to the internet whispering "let it be now"

As usual the problem is people incorrectly describing the authoritarianism, not the authoritarianism itself. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

I wrote about my conversation with Andry, John McCain's tribute to Bud Lee, unimaginable grace in contrast with the pettiest grievances, and learning about character from those who have been tormented. "Can We Ever Repair This Moral Rot" www.thebulwark.com/p/can-we-eve...

IT'S OFFICIAL. I WROTE MY FIRST BOOK! 🤯 #TheDoubleTax unpacks the cost of being a woman, why the bill runs higher for women of color, and how closing the gaps moves us ALL forward. #blacksky #booksky #econsky PRE-ORDER NOW: tinyurl.com/doubletax-or... Get Involved: tinyurl.com/doubletax-join

I get asked a lot about the glitching effects I used on NIN's "With Teeth," as it was a new aesthetic in pop culture at the time. Some of it was data corruption, but to control/design the glitches I created a manual masking technique. I have a full tutorial with Photoshop files for those interested:

I just finished off a bottle of Michter’s. How’s everyone else doing 🙃

My whoop is going to whoop my ass in the morning

It’s a good thing Congress isn’t alive to see this

Shorter Trump: The coconut milk is off!

OK, non-finance people: crash course in bonds. Bond prices and yields moving opposite directions. Yields on US govt bonds [“treasuries”] are surging (ie the prices are falling). Prices are falling because people are selling treasuries at a massive clip.

Doesn't matter. Just keep protesting with millions. Mass is more important than signs.

The yield increases as fewer people are interested in buying our bonds. So that spike in the graph tells us investors are fleeing our treasury bond market. Once thought of as one of the best and safest assets on the planet.

I will admit upfront to not understanding much about the markets or treasuries or finances in general, but I'm pretty sure Deutsche Bank talking about "the simultaneous collapse in the price of all U.S. assets" ain't good.

“I’m pissed off you let me give you all that youth for free” This Taylor Swift line is really resonating with me. Early career scientists worked hard, often far from home for low pay, through our 20s for a system that is being sledge hammered in front of us. 😓

A friend drove two hours today for her breast cancer chemotherapy only to learn it was canceled due to NIH cuts. Clinical trial ended midstream. No treatment, no restart, no plan, no information. Her bro-in-law's chemo was also canceled.

I am livid the dems allowed cloture to pass but I am curious to hear what @schatz.bsky.social has to say about it. He has always struck me as one of the good ones so I’m willing to hear him out.

A YES on cloture is a YES for the bill. Do not let anyone play games with you.

I’m so glad that we as a nation are finally standing up to the big, bad *checks notes* national parks… wait hang on
