Nah, who made this 😆 #frankenstein 👏🏼

Every US Government agency that helps prevent death has been decimated and that's upsetting to me because death is something I am generally against.

It's wild that Trump has completely disowned the one good thing accomplished during his first term in office.

That feeling when someone who irritated you for no reason proves you were right to dislike them.

We're definitely entering an era where the Internet is so hollowed out, so untrustworthy and compromised, that real world interactions, things identifiably done by human beings, will take on greater value and purpose.

The push to replace PBS with PragerU is by itself cause for revolt.

There are no words strong enough for how much I DETEST the artificial umm-ing and voice inflection of the AI customer service bots. It's like being forced to make an appointment with the exact kind of audible book readers I avoid.

I'm starting to really see how often I use "was" in my writing. It's so bad to do, and I find when I fix a sentence by taking the was out, the sentence gets immensely better. One chapter I revised had it 60 times. From me, another new writer, to you. Limit that word to a minimum #writingcommunity

It’s crazy to me that the people who have to cheat to win never reflect on what it means that their ideas are so wildly unpopular that they have to cheat to win.

Such an important point: “Progressive policies…are very popular in this country…but you have a segment of the Democratic Party that keeps trying to convince progressives we’re losing elections because their policies need to be more moderate.” Matt Dowd I wish more understood this. A confession… 🧵

A guy whose fraudulent university was shut down is telling the Ivy League what to do. A guy whose businesses went bankrupt multiple times is telling the Fed what to do. A guy whose best friend was a child sex trafficker is telling the DOJ what to do. That it’s all the same guy is pretty wild.

Today's IndyStar piece from Jacob Stewart about degree cuts at IU makes some surprising arguments. He just may not know he's making these surprising arguments. 1/4 www.indystar.com/story/opinio...

It most certainly is!

Oh nothing, just the richest guy in the world who was re-making our entire bureaucracy and hoovering up every bit of data from government systems is a drug fiend. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/u...

Check out the pod. I’m at the end talking about two cases that will affect health care access in Indiana.

This‼️

“Can we go outside and play now?” “Soon, boy.” “You said that ten minutes ago.” “As soon as I finish my cof-“ “Oops.” “You did that on purpose.” “It slipped.” “I’ll get my coat.” “Excellent.”

“No children are dying on my watch,” said Rubio. It's blatantly false. Credible estimates count 190K deaths so far. In Kenya, I am seeing devastating impact, incl this child's starvation & many deaths directly caused by Rubio’s actions. More in my @msnbc.com clip. www.instagram.com/atul.gawande...

BREAKING: AOC on GOP bill: “When you wake up in the morning, you will realize that you voted to defund planned parenthood and take away health care from 13.7 million Americans and when this country wakes up there will be consequences to pay for this.”

Here is your occasional reminder that The United States has plenty of resources to feed, house, and provide medical care for everyone We have made a choice as a society that, rather than doing that, we would rather allow people to selfishly hoard these resources This is a choice

My favorite bit of writing advice from @fulmerford.com in last night's short story class (a class was absolutely LOADED with great tips, btw): If you're stuck, or your characters are flat, add a dog to your story. That's writing advice you can take to the bank! 🤣

The Supreme Court holds that fascism is bad. Thomas and Alito dissent.

I'm preparing to record audiobooks for my two novels. What program do folks like for recording? Please no AI suggestions. I plan to narrate it myself. #writersky #authorsky #writingcommunity #indieauthor

Wait, are *we* a level 4 country?

Only city to produce a president, a pope and this view. Good morning, Chicago 💙

It was a good day, for late night comedians.😂😭🤣😂

It didn’t used to be this exhausting.

For the hypocrites in the back, “every kid gets 5 pencils and 2 dolls” looks a fuck ton more like communism than universal health care.

If you use ChatGPT I think you’re a loser. Hope that helps.

“girls are fine with fewer dolls” the guy says to the Poors when his wife once did a photoshoot where she ate diamond spaghetti

Failure to include women in medical research

The way there are overachievers and overunderachievers...

Remember, Trump's pretense for acting to shut down Democratic funding platform Act Blue is the unsubstantiated claim that it accepted foreign money. Meanwhile Trump is operating a massive scheme to accept foreign gratuities for his own personal enrichment. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/29/u...

Indiana University has served the young people of the state and the country and the world as a model public university. These measures, passed without review or discussion, destroy IU’s independence and will if allowed to stand undo its essential character. (1/3) www.axios.com/local/indian...

Welp, glad we get an 8 month break from that disaster of a legislative session How’s about we break this supermajority so we don’t have to do this again… mmmkay? #hoosiersky
