I don’t think I’ve seen a more complete degradation of a person than in watching Marco Rubio’s collapse of integrity. Does sycophancy really rewire the brain this much? or is it just raw selfishness, a willingness to drop all morality? Little Marco, indeed. youtu.be/g1QMLAXUW9U?...

I think one of the worst parts of recovery are the vivid dreams you have of falling into a relapse. I just had one where I was out with my loved ones celebrating my almost 600-day mark, only for me to come home to vodka. I woke up feeling so ashamed and sad. But, grateful that I didn’t do it!

If you, like me, are the parent of a neuro-atypical child dreading this autism press conference, please remember: These are the people hurting our kids. Not us. They are the ones stigmatizing and pathologizing them. They are the ones peddling untested science. And we should be very, very angry.

Reading this essay by @sarosecav.bsky.social on thriving in challenging times has given me some great, practical, & hopeful ideas to focus my academic energies on for the year ahead. Here’s hoping I can take them to heart before the system breaks my heart (again). www.chronicle.com/article/how-...

the Brazilian right is attempting to pass measures through the legislature to shield Bolsonaro and other legislators from the legal consequences of the failed coup, for which Bolsonaro was recently sentenced to 27 years. these photos are of the massive protests in response.

We should start asking all of these brand new Charlie Kirk fanatics what their favorite quote of his is

Posts claim Charlie Kirk once introduced Kyle Rittenhouse as "a hero to millions." That's true. ✅ www.snopes.com/fact-check/c...

Protect Seth at all costs. Also, this Closer Look packs twice as many laughs in half as much time as Stewart’s way overdone parody tonight. Both are appreciated but boy, Seth is just in peak form right now. youtu.be/bGpYFjwClr8?...

I got my Nov absentee ballot for Virginia today. Voting for Governor and state reps! I won’t lie, it made me emotional to see the ballot in my inbox. I sure hope I get another chance to vote again next year. These days, I’m not so sure I will.

On this day, you should post nothing but Kirk's actual words.
