a great edition, especially if you missed some of the Met gala red carpet.

Don't do this.

I want to reassure everyone that abortion providers have been ready to switch to misoprostol-only abortion for a long time now, and clinics can still provide mifepristone in person. You can still access abortion and there are people who will help.

Anne Hathaway, you will ALWAYS be that girl. 💙💛

I laughed so hard at this that I snorted more than once. www.youtube.com/watch?v=WAUn...

The Senate passed the Voting Rights Act renewal in 2006 by a vote of 98-0. The Supreme Court majority gutted it on the grounds that the Justices personally dislike the impact.

Because they’re fucking stupid and can’t read? Cool, close your fucking Schwab, Fidelity and Vanguard accounts. If you have a lot of money, waste their time by requesting long private meetings about moving your money to them. Tell them at the end why they’re not getting your account.

Happy Friday

Guys! GUYS! It's back! It's coming back!!! The single greatest literacy promotion in human history* is coming back! All you 80s and 90s kids know what's up! *(this point may be a little hyperbolic, but just a little) people.com/pizza-huts-b...

Suleika's books are always dirty, messy, and satisfying.

Here’s the thing: the Trump people and the mainstream media can’t expect Americans to be distressed about this latest incident when THEY aren’t distressed about it. Why would Americans get upset & stressed out when Trump & the attendees kept laughing, joking and partying?

The left’s almost jocular response to last night’s gunfire at the White House Correspondents Dinner stood in marked contrast to the somber tone adopted by Republicans in the wake of the hammer attack on Paul Pelosi

Some suggestions for notebooks in pocket format that are NOT Moleskine. It's a thread 🧵 ⬇️

Trump and others were evacuated from White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner after shots were fired. Gun violence is never the answer. We encourage all to join us in condemning all forms of political violence! #WHCD #WHCA #freedomfromgunviolence

Amazon, Meta, and Microsoft are all planning huge layoffs. Amazon got $17.5B in federal tax breaks last year. Jeff Bezos is worth $271B. Meta saved $13.7B in taxes. Mark Zuckerberg is worth $231B. Microsoft saved $12.5B last year. Its CEO is worth $1.3B. This is what a rigged economy looks like.

@ajcousins.bsky.social I took this picture of the scarlet ibis on my street this morning and almost forgot to send to you. I always have to stop and watch them when they are looking around my yard.

A reminder while Republicans bitch about Dems finishing the redistricting fight they started: they have full control of gov’t— they can pass a law banning gerrymandering any time they want. They won’t. Republicans aren’t mad gerrymandering exists; they’re mad that they’re not the only ones using it.

With the help of the Sandy Hook families, The Onion has reached a long-awaited deal to take over InfoWars. We've enlisted the help of @timheidecker.bsky.social, who will be InfoWars' Creative Director. Please stand by for more.

Tesla. Disney. CVS Health. United Airlines. PayPal. Billions in profits. $0 in federal corporate income taxes. That money should be funding schools, healthcare, and public services. This is why people are mad as hell.

If AI was so great, then the tech companies wouldn’t be in its 3rd or 4th year trying to force it onto the public. Good shit sells itself. Bullshit needs all the hype it can get.

ActBlue donors can request refunds if they donated to Swalwell’s campaign. Pass it on.

I need you to know that being proud of yourself and your art and your life and not hating yourself is an extremely loud form of rebellion that the system does not like. They want us to hate ourselves so we're easier to control and they want us to hate our work so they can pay us less. Don't do it.

Safe it's being inducted into the Hall of Fame ♥️

Husband just learned that there men who do not wash their ass. He was so appalled he had trouble finding words and forcefully promised me that he does indeed know how to bathe. I reassured him that after 30yrs of marriage I did know.

We should be taking notes.

I saw my brother in law who lives a few states away yesterday and got to rec some fun movies that he’d never seen for them to watch with the grandkids - The Pacifier and K-pop Demon Hunters!!!

Yes. That’s what the data show. Like they do in every. Other. State.

Remember: There is nothing natural or inevitable about extreme inequality; it’s the result of an economic system that values wealth and power over human dignity and justice. It doesn't have to be this way.

Simple information about what the SAVE Act would actually do to American voters. Tens of millions would lose their right to vote unless they spend lots of $$$ and jump through bureaucratic hoops before November.

Survey still open! If you listen to/watch podcasts about romance fiction, please consider participating! (Many, many thanks from my academic alter ego!)

What's My JND? 0.0110 Can you beat it? www.keithcirkel.co.uk/whats-my-jnd... Honestly you should take this test just for the funny comments.

“There were no books.” Middle schoolers lie like this. Weak.

These memes are fabulous. The SAVE Act is disastrous.

Those videos of the DOGE kids. Glad this is all public information now. All their community should get to see their answers.

The way I have regretted not going to law school this year.

The world could be such a nice place if we allowed it. It's all so goddamn unnecessary. There's no need for any of it. It's so beautiful here. It should be so cool to be alive
