There are places I remember, some have gone and some remain ⌛🕯️ Keep your arms and legs inside your sanity for the duration of the trip. Bo tries something new, Archie take a sniff, Duff tries to explain. Listen here: buff.ly/sioA7ta

Seriously - if any of your social media companies informs you that stuff from your accounts has been turned over in compliance with a federal grand jury subpoena, SHUT THE FUCK UP IMMEDIATELY and stay shut up until you consult an attorney. Who will also tell you to stfu, but professionally.

This Transgender Awareness Week, we come together to celebrate the resilience and bravery of the transgender community in the face of relentless attacks. My message to you is simple: I am with you. I love you. I will never stop fighting for you.

Bingo. And imagine the Democratic politician who said this did so as he sat next to the podcaster's assassin whom he reminded everyone was his close personal friend

Just the president of the United States rationalizing that a Washington Post reporter was basically asking to be murdered and cut to pieces with a bone saw because of his reporting. As he sits next to the thug who ordered it.

Damn. A poem for a man we owe most of our lives to.

It's really cool that some of the original sit-inners were present for the unveiling of this memorial. www.oklahoman.com/picture-gall...

That metaphor is so labored it just joined a union

Somebody please snap this up, because I want to read it.

In 1582, a papal bull introduced the Gregorian calendar, still used today by most of the world. Because it’s 11 days ahead of the Julian calendar, countries introducing it simply skipped a third of October, and if you scroll back far enough in the iPhone calendar app you can see it change

And so now here are the things that aren't getting investigated while Trump & Miller chase their racist fantasies. Child predators, terrorists and human traffickers can't believe their good fortune.

The statistics here are unambiguous, and always have been. Immigrants commit crimes at lower rates than native born Americans and undocumented immigrants commit crimes at lower rates than documented immigrants. WHICH IS ENTIRELY UNSURPRISING!

“Was it your brain?” should be the follow up question to every Trump statement.

Oh wow @reuters.com got the photo here:

That’s what we call character growth, darling 🔥

Today is a good day to remember, and to say, that the #MeToo movement was right, and was righteous, and has been vindicated over and over again. There was no overreach. There was no excess. There was no they-went-too-far. So much work remains to be done.

Well, it's a little clearer now why billionaires are so invested in technology that produces better written emails.

…I need to go lay down.

A middle aged Irish woman approached me at a pub and told me I looked like Michael Fassbender, then asked if I even knew who he was. I said of course, he’s a very famous and good looking actor, and she rolls her eyes and goes “oh, he’s not that good looking” and turns heel

This reply was my favorite

this is a rich text but my favorite part is that despite being presumably good at math, her husband is so illiterate that he cannot read a baby's report card

spoke with the executive director of my local food bank today and got this really incredible line: "if you donate 1 can of green beans, we can give away 1 can of green beans. but if you donate a dollar, we can give away 6 cans of green beans"

Trump's mental decline appears to be accelerating. So why isn’t the media reporting on it? https://robertreich.substack.com/p/office-hours-why-isnt-the-media-reporting-dec

I will believe that these people love Lord of the Rings when I see any evidence that they can read.

The last annual review concluded the SS Richard Montgomery was perfectly safe! And as a demonstration of exactly how safe it is it also banned aircraft from flying anywhere near it in case, y'know, the wreck spontaneously makes itself a lot safer in a manner incompatible with continued aviation...

Which US accent is it that pronounces “both” as “bollth”? I can’t pin it down because most of the rest of the accent sounds generalized American to me, but that quirk is delightful.

we didn't immediately get a single all-time folk rock ballad out of the big boat getting stuck, huge L for millennials and zoomers

I received this email about Democrats caving to end the shutdown from one of the SNAP recipients I spoke to:

Dems backed Trump into a corner where he’s advocating for starving Americans and hemorrhaging support. If they vote to let him off the hook in exchange for nothing it’s a cataclysmic failure. I know people are in pain but insulating Republicans from political consequences is not the answer.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person. The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person. People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives. And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

just to clarify (and kevin knows this so don’t @ him) call no matter who your senators are. the caucus will pay attention to backlash

Call the United States Capitol switchboard at (202) 224-3121 and they will connect you with your senator's office. If you're represented by one of the squishier centrists, be sure to make a call. Now.

“I want you to understand what it is like to live in Chicago during this time.” aphyr.com/posts/397-i-...

Literally every dem should be shouting from the rooftops that republicans are giving Americans two choices: die from starvation or from a lack of affordable healthcare.

On National Indigenous Veterans Day, I like to share this story about my grandmother, as told by my mother and published in @thetyee.ca : thetyee.ca/Life/2012/08...

That’s my girl! My gangly murderous girl!

Once again, we need to define what “feminism” is here. Not everything any woman ever does—not even in the political realm, and not even concerning gender—is “feminism.” Opposing the rights of women as a class to equal status and dignity is in fact called “antifeminism.”

Posted this elsewhere: Patriarchy ruins the workplace every day. No universal healthcare nor reproductive care, no affordable childcare, no paid time off for pregnancy, maternity leave nor family support, because the template for ‘employee’ is a male, unattached worker paid as little as possible.

About 22 years ago I was standing on the steps of the NY Public Library with friends, waiting for an anti-war march to start, and a middle-aged guy in a faded bomber jacket called up to us “Good moooorrrning, communist pigs!“ It was the cheeriness of his tone that really stuck with us all.

God I love this stupid game.

This is the worst part of what DOGE did: databases formerly firewalled by employees dedicated to protecting our privacy were stitched together by arrogant outsiders intent on cementing the power & expanding the reach of tech bros. We can rehire employees, but how do we regain our privacy?

New: Videos show ICE/CBP agents are scanning peoples' faces on the street to verify citizenship. ICE has tool to instantly look up unprecedented number of databases with just a photo “I’m an American citizen so leave me alone” “Alright, we just got to verify that” www.404media.co/ice-and-cbp-...

DEFEND THE DAILY NEWS

The actual finding here is that a huge percentage of the population believes things that are not true. Democrats objectively did not spend significant time on climate change or LGBTQ issues in the last election campaign.

"Maybe the only way to turn the tide of misinformation... is to flood the algorithm w/ the right stuff. Unfortunately, flooding the algorithm takes resources, policy changes, and a unified, evidence-based message—the things that a fully funded federal Safe to Sleep campaign had previously promised."

If avoiding a painful and disfiguring rash - and potentially permanent nerve pain and nerve damage - isn’t enough for you, multiple studies have also shown that shingles vaccination can lower dementia risk, possibly up to 20%

friend shared this, immediately updated my settings

"Tzefardea Tzedek" (Frog of Righteousness) As soon as the Portland Frog became a meme, Jewish social media blew up with jokes about the 2nd Passover plague - tzefarde'a (frogs) - and the Rabbinical commentary around it. I knew I had to make a calligraphy piece encompassing all of it. (more in alt.)

In the wake of Charlie Kirk's death, a TN sheriff had a 61-yr-old man arrested for posting a meme on Facebook, which the sheriff absurdly construed as a threat. It was pretty clearly bullshit but I dug into the case using FB & public records and now it looks even worse. My latest @theintercept.com:
