For @thepvdeye.bsky.social I wrote about my experience being halfway around the world during the shooting at Brown, and then hours later witnessing the shooting at Bondi. pvdeye.org/i-live-in-pr...

I think it’s also true that loneliness among women has historically been treated as an individual problem, while loneliness among men is treated as a societal problem. That, in turn, comes from an assumption that women are supposed to earn the company of others while men are entitled to it.

Everything is so bad. We need to lean into baby-animal photos harder than ever before.

115 Democrats just voted to codify the first federal trans segregation law.

Let’s interview Sam Altman’s nannies about whether they’re using ChatGPT

Hey, if you’re a Seattle/WA author with a book coming out next year and you have a firm pub date, please let me know for potential inclusion in the Seattle Times’s 2026 book preview. (Space is limited but I’ll do my best.) Drop a link either in replies or at my email: [email protected].

Seattle in November

immorality is contagious, and it's in both the telling and the content of the nuzzas pieces. absolute ROT.

People will die, and are currently dying, because RFK was granted one of the most powerful megaphones in the country. Two people who could have thrown barriers in front of his climb decided not to; there's a sex scandal here but it is not the biggest scandal.

This is true. It is the best email I got this year.

Very high quality babies at the airport today. absolute turkeys (compliment)

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged. Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

I’m howling.

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

A 3 year old knows this is unacceptable. it’s insane.

"Things happen" sometimes, like when you walk into an embassy to apply for your marriage license while your bride-to-be waits outside, but then you get bonesawed to pieces for having exercised freedom of speech as an US-based journalist and have to be carried out in a series of suitcases.

Still processing that an economic advisor to multiple administrations, business leaders, and top institutions was asking a known sex trafficker of minor age girls to be his wingman for attempting to coerce his academic mentee into a sexual relationship—years after he said that women aren’t as smart

Remember the recent middle-of-the-night apartment building raid where children were dragged outside naked & zip-tied in the street while black & Latino residents were _sorted by race_ and piled into separate vans while their apartments were ransacked & robbed? That raid? So it resulted in 0 arrests.

dystopian ass weather report

So many vulnerable people were hurt, harassed and raped by these ghouls and now—I’m worried—it’s gonna become hehe haha lurid internet circus instead of a long overdue moral reckoning. I’m scared of who we all are becoming. That man has brought us ALL low.

Like I dunno, maybe the reason it took a lady to break open the story of all the men protecting the dude trafficking underage girls is because the male journos were all emailing him making jokes about it?

Something absolutely perfect about Larry Summers riffing about the scourge of woke cancel culture being unfair to predatory men in a friendly email to his pal JEFFREY EPSTEIN.

But what alarms me in all this is how the girls who were victimized by these men are largely forgotten. I want us to find ways of centering them in the discourse.

i mean c’mon. the president’s best friend was the most notorious pedo in the country’s history who ran a massive child trafficking ring. every bit of circumstantial evidence we have says that trump was a participant. if this were a criminal trial we’d have enough evidence to compel a plea deal.

all my enemies are fucking morons, which really makes things feel so much worse

In case anyone wonders why it was Justice Jackson who made this temporary, administrative ruling, each of the Justices is responsible for the first take on emergency requests from at least one of the 13 courts of appeals. She has the 1st (MA, ME, NH, PR, RI.) www.supremecourt.gov/about/circui...

To my trans and nonbinary friends, I am so sorry that you have to deal with this hate. And I hope to see us reach the other side of it soon. And, we will reach the other side. This is horrifying, but it is ultimately the latest iteration of a time-worn tale. And their time always comes to an end.

Rep. Yassamin Ansari has set up a table and this sign outside Speaker Johnson’s office.

what about bringing it around town

Bluesky rn

Brad Lander is at the victory party and, folks, he has the custom one-of-one “GOOD FUCKING RIDDANCE” shirt.

The Atlantic seems to be on a hiring spree. They could make up for the hires of the Jonathans Chait and Haidt by snapping up every Teen Vogue politics writer who got laid off today. Add some much-needed journalistic freshness and diversity to the bullpen there.

I see that CBS chose not to air this part. It probably explains much of what they did decide to air.

this makes me want to flip a fucking table

Just want to make sure: We are not fucking giving out ramen and beef jerky on Halloween. We are giving kids CANDY and TOYS and a NORMAL HOLIDAY and then donating to food pantries and stocking our local community fridge.

I'm directing $2.2 million per week to provide support to Washington's food banks in the wake of the Congressional Republicans’ shutdown. Our state will keep looking for innovative solutions while SNAP is suspended. President Trump needs to tell his party to do their jobs.

as a fellow full size bar house- costco has these at decent prices this year.

I am interested in starting to hear from care workers on SNAP about your concerns. I'm @motherjones.com's disability reporter. Please be in touch. My email is [email protected] and my Signal is juliametraux.49. Reposts are appreciated.

If you care about SPS and want to help, we need folks to text-bank for Sarah Clark! It's super easy. I've automated the process to just a few clicks from your phone that you can do between tasks. If you're up for it, DM me! (heads up: it will use your SMS number)

If you want to help your neighbors who are food insecure and/or losing SNAP benefits, click here, plug in your zip, and DONATE. www.feedingamerica.org/find-your-lo...

Wondering who to vote for in Seattle school board races? The great Albert Wong has a truly excellent explanation of why it's crucial to vote for Sarah Clark, Joe Mizrahi, Vivian Song, and Jen LaVallee. Read it!

one of the 4th grade girls on my soccer team told me she wrote an essay about our team 🥺

🚨 ALERT 🚨 It is now officially babies in tiny jackets with ears on the hoods season. Please be on the lookout for babies in tiny jackets with ears on the hoods at all times.

Me by the end of every social interaction and gathering:

these are a different set of republican racist texts than the previous set of republican racist and nazi texts

The whole point of democracy is so one person's derangement does not become everybody's problem. It's social hygiene. The fact the richest men in the West are a mix of grotty twelve year olds and deranged apocalypse fanatics is a problem, and we should be honest about it.
