My most old person complaint is that The Children don’t appreciate Patrick Swayze enough

Dude, this is so cool. A canoe from circa 3200 BCE just chillin in the dirt in Wisconsin

The definition of a murderer’s row

Founded in WI, currently based in Chicago, accidentally or not, The Onion is doing right by the NFC North.

I wrote about the man Florida plans to kill tonight and how the death penalty impacts people in ways we might never imagine.

Want to know how little women's health matters in this country? Just ask Wisconsin's Assembly Speaker, who blocked a vote on a bipartisan bill that would have extended postpartum Medicaid coverage from 60 days to one year. www.wmtv15news.com/2025/11/20/v...

Deeply grateful that the worst stray I’ve ever caught in someone else’s memoir was being called a “mousy blonde,” and that didn’t survive from the ARC to the final published version.

some people in the news business really didn't get an early enough exposure to semiotext(e)

Editors have a really hard job, and the good ones can make something unreadable readable, and the great ones can make something unreadable into something good. But they're basically invisible, until someone tries to write without one.

darmok and jalad comic books

NYT: And you take an oath, right? There's a series of binding ethics you swear to. Doctor: We do. NYT: What's the first part of it? Doctor: "First, do no harm." NYT: And what did you do? Doctor: Harm. Narrator: But what victims didn't know was how much love was involved.

weird how you never see this going in the opposite direction on bluesky, like there's not someone here posting "my cows are in a herd for collectivist reasons. i think they're becoming more ironic, one of them ran out to some grass and then stood there not eating it to own me"

Finally looked at my insurance costs: From $308/month to $720/month, so I guess I'm getting off easy?

What better way to celebrate my last months of being able to afford health insurance than begging for reimbursement for out of network urgent care visits?

Which of These Endangers Jews? By @elivalley.bsky.social

Currently fancasting Saw VI (the health insurance one) with only Democratic senators

THE FOLLOWING DEMOCRATIC SENATORS VOTE “YES” ON THE CONTINUING RESOLUTION IN EXCHANGE FOR NOTHING: MAGGIE HASSAN (NH) CATHERINE CORTEZ MASTO (NV) JEANNE SHAHEEN (NH) JACKY ROSEN (NV) DICK DURBIN (IL) TIM KAINE (VA) ANGUS KING (ME) JOHN FETTERMAN (PA) ITS OVER

Just blast this on a speaker outside all their offices

Spent the day more depressed than I’ve been all damn year, but the mere rumor that my senator was on the list of possible cavers was enough to rage me out of the hole enough to call and leave her a message.

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

Astonishing how hard this administration is working to keep people hungry. It's clear they are trying maximize public suffering, in hopes of getting people to blame Dems for that suffering. But it's transparently the White House working overtime to keep the suffering going! bsky.app/profile/cram...

This perfectly encapsulates how I feel living in the US. The republican party is an insane death cult, the democratic party is 3 corporations in a trench coat, and the "socialists" are just the completely normal left-wing capitalists you'd find in any of 2 dozen European nations.

The only sound I hear is The Coup’s song “The Guillotine” getting steadily louder

A trillion dollars

I'm one of the four fired employees. I was a writer & producer at Bon Appétit for nearly five years, during which I helped organize our union and sat on our bargaining committee. I am, to my knowledge, the only trans woman in our union and the only trans woman on editorial who doesn't work at Them

Federal agents pulling a woman out of Rayito Del Sol, a daycare by Lane Tech high school

this morning, ICE went into a Spanish language immersion daycare and took a teacher from the building in front of screaming and crying kids and parents at dropoff and the daycare had to shut down for the day (near Lane Tech, where they were yesterday). Really hoping today's "theme" is not "daycare."

Zohran Mamdani won the precinct with the combination Pizza Hut-Taco Bell on Jamaica Avenue 81-14.

Great song to sing at an election party. Flawless choice.

We did it, guys! We outlived one of the motherfuckers. Stay active, eat your vegetables, and get your moles checked out. We have a lot more motherfuckers to outlive.

“In January 2021 after the politics section had broken our traffic records with coverage of the COVID pandemic, George Floyd protests, election, and Capitol insurrection, Anna Wintour asked [news and politics editor] Lucy Diavolo if we still needed a politics section. After all, Joe Biden had won.”

The @us.theguardian.com has a number of open positions, including two reporter roles focusing on organizing and movement building. Jobs are 12 month contract, full-time, union, flexible location workwithus.theguardian.com/job-search/e... workwithus.theguardian.com/job-search/e...

This is why even good elected officials should face primary challenges every single election cycle.

Destroying politics coverage at its women's magazines is one of Conde Nast's most consistent business traditions, but Teen Vogue's work (and @leximcmenamin.com's tireless effort) was really special.

another win for the "destroy anything good" wing of the american media

For the GOP, racist tropes are the train that is always on time when it comes to public assistance - “nails” & “weaves” are clearly directed at Black women. The reality is Wisconsinites in every county rely on SNAP. Of course, Ron Johnson, who married a millionaire, will never understand.

Bovino's visibility has always been strategic, a performance of authority that sends the message: The federal government will no longer defer to local resistance in sanctuary cities.

CPB showed at a client’s home in nyc today for “consensual chat” about their social media posts. client is an american citizen if you care about such things.

"it doesn't mean anything bad, i just think it's unfair for people to judge me based on my face tattoo of a klingon bird of prey" and yet they will. too bad! time to go back to singing "the downeaster alexa" to yourself while pulling apps out of the seabed for mom's bistro. i don't make the rules!

Antibiotics are truly an amazing thing, but I highly recommend pairing them with mochi for a more pleasant convalescence.

My grandpa had a friend named Cowboy, but he wasn't a cowboy. Don't think he owned a horse. I just called him that because that's what my grandpa said to call him. If I'd been told to call someone "aunt" I'd have done that too, who gives a shit

New from 404 Media: ICE is using a university building as a deportation office. The university is basically powerless. We got audio from a meeting between students and administrators about it. "We inherited those tenants, we didn’t invite them to be in that building." www.404media.co/ice-is-using...

Much fighting fascism. Much films. Listen here: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/l... Or here: open.spotify.com/episode/3nfh... Or here: on.soundcloud.com/gQrBDuSgQuJF... @allisonkilkenny.bsky.social @meredithlclark.bsky.social

the needs of the anxious comfortable white male doing midcentury working class drag are at the very bottom of my list right now

One of my favorite Friday rituals is texting with @allisonkilkenny.bsky.social as she settles in for a morning screening of whichever movie is opening that day. Her most frequent message: "It's only me and one [or two, or three, never more than five] dudes here"

DID YOU KNOW? The Famous Racing Polish Sausage lives in Wauwatosa in the offseason.

One new leader asked a colleague in an email if Planned Parenthood Southeast had ever worked with Students for Life, one of the country's largest anti-abortion groups. (As one activist noted, “That’s like asking if the ACLU has ever partnered with the KKK.”) www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
