Wine, popcorn, and a pear. Before 9? Might be an early sleep. Haven’t had a full sleep since the astrology started a couple weeks ago.

Reuters Exclusive "U.S. military investigators believe it is likely that U.S. forces were responsible for an apparent strike on an Iranian girls' school." "The strike would rank among the worst cases of civilian casualties in decades of U.S. conflicts in the ​Middle East."

Holy shit

Last year when I was checking into a hotel, the desk person was wearing Meta glasses. I kindly asked them to take them off. They were annoyed. I said, “I do not consent to you looking at my credit card and ID with Meta glasses on.” My instincts were correct: www.bbc.com/news/article...

A lot and none of it good 🙂‍↕️

US oil prices have passed the $80 a barrel mark for the first time in 13 months, up 45% since December. US gas prices are set to rise above $3.30 a gallon.

This is what I expect from online “educators”. Mostly, they’ll tell you something like “PS is a longtime gay destination and weekend getaway…” and they’ll never be able to walk you along the path to explain why. Superficial; maybe wikipedia summary depths; key terms, no detail, not a journey.

I’ve posted this before, and the point is, nothing is an accident, not even among the gays: • A virus appears • Government and both parties sit on their hands • A community suffers, is vilified, criminalized, left to die • In SoCal, gay men head to a dessert oasis to die: Palm Springs.

I don't live wherever josh lives but this bigot should be cut off from the rest of the lgbtq community there and everywhere. He doesn't deserve a place in it and he should be reminded of that every time he logs onto scruff or heads to a bar for shitty sex

having meta glasses makes you a weirdo. point blank.

I definitely am trying to pick up reading more, especially during downtime. It’s been challenging because I’ve also been resting more. I’m physically wore out. Joining a book club has helped motivate me to read more. I’m trying to keep that momentum going. I have a TON of unread books.

west wing brain is the single biggest problem affecting the democrats - the leaders, the voters, all of it. even if they didnt directly watch the show, theyre addicted to its ethos of not fighting in the mud with the monsters.

Strom Thurmond had a Black daughter.

To think that bigotry — a tool of power and control — requires an internal consistency and logic is to know nothing about its practitioners, its legal/conceptual definitions, and its lack of consistency over time. It has one purpose: maintenance of power. Robust logic? My side hurts from laughter. 😂

Wait until you learn about the white supremacists who date Black women. Bigotry is illogical.

This is why I will never stop reading for pleasure alongside reading as a scholar. And, I’m happy to see my husband reading more as well.

“It makes my job easier!” You’d sacrifice drinking water, clean air, creator income, and a brain that works, all to make your job “easier” while electric bills go up and your employer is the only one benefitting from higher productivity? Let’s talk about the lack of thought put into this trade.

Millennials grew up hearing our elders talk about staying active and to do puzzles and reading to keep the brain from atrophying. As adults, so many Millennials are focused on staying active to “look young”, but stopped reading and then let ChatGPT do their basic thinking. Doomed. Cooked.

The reason they’re called human rights is all human beings have them. If you’re talking about the supposed exclusive rights of the herrenvolk you should use another term or just switch to German entirely.

100 girls are dead because of generative AI

These guys are constantly telling on themselves that they can’t imagine anyone acting on an actual principle. Protesters? Must be getting paid. Bishops noticing that Jesus had some thoughts on welcoming the stranger? Gotta be a payday in there.

weird how nicely this meshes with the stories about how Gen Z men aren't having sex

Remember that billionaires financed the Chesa Boudin recall that resulted in her having this job.

Do we add the Miller fellow? I think we add the Miller fellow. Everything the “red hat whisperers” said for a year has been proven wrong — by both polling AND by actual elections.

I don't have a problem with Tim. But I do think it is deleterious that so many smart people spend so much time on X, which has essentially become an algorithmically and AI-optimized far-right MAGA message testing and propaganda machine. People assume X posts represent the masses, but they don't!

The most amazing thing about the latest GOP Nazi group chat story is that the ending is *exactly the same* as the ending of a different story by a different publication about an entirely different GOP Nazi group chat!

Total turnout in the Texas primary 🔵 Democrats - 2,309,696 total votes 🔴 Republicans - 2,142,151 total votes

A war that isn't a war, documented with videos that may or may not be real, funded by elected leaders who are neither for nor against it, is the most dystopian thing that's happened in my lifetime

Finally got to @gelliottmorris.com's piece this week on how poll question wording dramatically affects responses. It's excellent. This is classic stuff in the political behavior subfield of poli sci, but we don't hear enough about it in punditry. www.gelliottmorris.com/p/many-ameri...

Would love to shake the hand of the person who first realized that America’s housing crisis is directly related to America’s myth of righteously gained land granted to the deserving faithful.

I’ve seen drag queens and DJs take gigs but like, what are they gonna do, when community is passing around the same $5? And then some need the $ and insurance coverage or, literally, they might die. And then kids, family members… Some people take care of others. So is there a point? A limit?

Is there an income level where you say, “okay, you working for that company is a choice not about survival.” I’m thinking about Gayle reupping at $15mm, that one lefty human who was found to be working for a defense contractor… I wonder how much grace people should expect with all this happening

this guy challenged a sitting Democratic lawmaker in yesterday's primary, angered by her pro-ICE vote, and he ousted her 70% to 22%. boltsmag.org/north-caroli...

Past recession indicators not holding up cuz inequality and economic consolidation mean more of the avg people are just low on funds and The Economy as a whole is chugging along. Economy shaped like a Waterford decanter doesn’t tell the same stories.

BLACK NEW YORKER: Maria Davis is an HIV/AIDS awareness advocate and has been a central figure in the New York area for more than 20 years, using her story to educate and help as many as she can.

to blackmail and coercion. I have repped people who lost clearances in similar situations. This isn’t about tabloids. It’s a matter of national security. If she isn’t having an affair, denying it is a necessity. If she is having one, allowing her to maintain her position is an unacceptable risk.

To be clear, Noem’s position requires her to maintain a Top Secret security clearance with eligibility for access to Sensitive Compartmented Information (and likely Special Access Programs too). Concealing an extramarital affair is a major national security risk, as it exposes a person

I didn’t think anyone would ask but

KAMLAGER-DOVE: At any point in your tenure at DHS, have you had sexual relations with Corey Lewandowski? NOEM: You're peddling tabloid garbage K: You should be able to answer if someone asks if a federal official is sleeping with their subordinate NOEM: It's garbage K: It's about your judgment

Always someone wanting to throw an outlier and what if into a discussion. Which is wild to me. That’s fine for contingency planning—when you are contingency planning. But if you are trying to address a significant, or root cause issue and want to talk about outliers, you’re derailing everything.

The cycle: Clever white men on the rise, liberals grow to love them, they find prestige and acclaim, then they get extra cranky and side with the worst views to protect their own comfort — gotta find mass appeal to maintain that mass media platform. Maher Barro Klein Yglesias Sullivan Favreau Etc

Every upcoming BOSS event on the calendar, now through the end of April. Parties, daytime events, community spaces, some free, some in the morning… All of them part of the portfolio of our Grown-Up Get-Downs. ✨💗

Variety. But a good thing to have. We try to create spaces to address cultural perspectives, community practices, and the needs for both within the Bay’s queer community. Anyway, this is what we are working on. 💚

They have all these words for “not war” but think gender is a binary. It doesn’t mean we follow their arguments. It means we know they know better and that means it’s a narrative lie for control and obedience — what power always does to maintain itself.

Remember when the Simpsons were finding ways to cut expenses and Bart was like “I’ll take up smoking and give that up!” That’s the level of “creation” and “work” and “thinking” involved in these LLM / AI scenarios.

“So you’re a supporter of hers???” That is a whole other sentence. But as a non-Black person of color, I do try to be attuned to the ways racism finds its way into leftist/liberal language and practice.

I dunno. People talking about Jasmine Crockett and “proof that Democrats are no longer falling for identity politics” when 60% white, 29% Latino, 9% Black Austin, Texas is repeated as the place that put Talarico over the top seems… “But she was supported by…” And that’s not identity politics.
