Did someone unplug the Web?

NYC subway rule: the train is never 1 minute away. It goes from 2 minutes to "here".

I’ve been disturbed ongoingly by how many people seem to express glee every time a case of sexual violence or exploitation is in the news, as if it’s a gotcha of the bad guys to feel superior about. We have to be able to face and address this violence not play it for clicks…and I donno…

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.

It's bizarre that Sarah Kendzior is suspended the same time all of this Epstein stuff is blowing up.

Damn. I relate to this so much. My cousin being murdered when I was a teenager was the catalyst for my descent from depressed misfit to a much darker place.

I read every Jeffrey Epstein email with the subtext of "we can have a nice perverted time or I can destroy you"

The business world embraced Trump over Kamala because he is corrupt. There was much to be gained from his win and little to be lost if he didn't.

So on Epstein, the Democratic position should be "Trump should resign." If you are a Democratic elected, practice saying "We demand the president's resignation" in front of a mirror as many times as it takes until the dry-heaving that comes from having a phobia about actually doing politics passes.

Why is Sarah Kendzior banned?!

We're all just trying to find the guy who did this.gif

Whenever some sanctimonious Dem announces that America needs a functioning Republican Party, I always think “I’d settle for a functioning Democratic Party.”

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

Chuck Schumer Helps Pull Democrats Back From Brink Of Courage

My statement on the proposed Senate deal

My family has been without half our income for 40 days. It has been.. very hard. We are willing to feel that pain so people can have health care next year, or to undo these illegal recissions. We are not willing to have been put through this for NOTHING.

I will not support a deal that does nothing to make health care more affordable. We are in a health care emergency. A simple one-year extension of these tax credits would cost less than Donald Trump’s $40 billion bailout for Argentina. A vote for this bill is a mistake.

Did he pay one of them $130k to cover up his affair with them, falsifying business records to cover it up? If not, don't care.

Absolutely glorious day at Mount Rainier National Park earlier today

ryan is right. people HATE hearing this. but it is just a matter of simple incentives. if you want a more representative legislature — and if you want a legislature more resistant to corruption — then you need to jack up the salaries. serving as mayor of NYC should net you a cool 500K *at least*

TRIAL LAWYERS: I have a mock final trial culminating my trial advocacy class in one week. It’s my first time lawyering in front of a jury and (real) judge in a real courthouse. Any advice?

It's gotta be possible to make cars that are safe for kids to ride in without bulky aftermarket accessories.

By the way: Please CALL AHEAD to your local food banks, ask them what they need most, ask what they have too much of, ask what they can’t take right now, and ask what’s the best time/place/way to give your donations. Food banks lose an IMMENSE amount of time and money to people treating them as…

CNN did an interview with Candace Owens about her theory that a cabal of Jews killed Charlie Kirk, and I must ask why the fuck would you do that

i’d also say that the GOP’s obsession with this gives candidates an opportunity to articulate and stand up for their values. “i refuse to make anyone feel like they don’t belong in my [state/city/community]. and i want everyone to live the best life they can achieve [insert policy slogan]”

basically every 2024 truism is dead. Trump did not build a lasting multiracial coalition or turn young men into committed Republicans. You don’t need to cave on trans rights to win. The pundits have nothing left to tell you.

Federal Workers are not getting paid & Trump is cutting off SNAP. We have to come together & take care of our community. We’ve Organized a few spots where you can drop off non-perishable goods. AFGE will help get these items to federal workers in Central Florida. Please help out if you can 👇🏾

If I'm understanding the results, looks like Mikie Sherrill smashed Ciaterelli. I thought she had it in the bag but wasn't expecting a landslide.

It's a scandal that there is no restaurant called Space Noodle in Seattle

“As a neurodiversity advocate and as an autistic person, I’m really grateful for so much of the work that’s been done that allows me to be myself and to be successful being myself.” Link, who has been *banned*!?!? from this platform? thinkingautismguide.com/2025/06/spac... #AutisticWhileBlack

Bluesky has burned a lot of trust with me and with the community. But I'm very open to these ideas. This place has been trending towards pre-X Twitter for a long time. And pre-X Twitter was not a healthy place. bsky.social/about/blog/1...

Let's just lay it out. Epstein was a glorified pimp who used and sold the services of children to the wealthy, the elite, and the powerful. His clients will destroy anything and everything to stay hidden. They will even starve poor people. They have no bottom and no conscience.

Loved this essay from @broskoski.bsky.social www.are.na/editorial/pe...

After years of internalizing that JS proxies are suuuper slow, I was surprised to find that in Chrome, they seem faster for running function side effects than simply wrapping a function: jsbenchmark.com#eyJjYXNlcyI6...

We're free at last

What a pair of pitches from Will Klein!

Before Wikipedia, the announcers were the sole arbiters of what we knew about athletes

I switched to the Daily Show, fell asleep, woke up, and the World Series is still on

This is true, but the billionaires are less concerned about the taxes than the fact that it seems like Mamdani won't defer to their wishes by default.

Never been a Swiftie, but the first two songs of the new album are dope, and most albums don't have two bangers. So it seems like the album is fine to me 🤷

Anyone else ever have paralyzing fear of "what if my dreams actually did come true?"

Let people have an awful opinion sometimes. This post is about Ezra Klein.

🤣🤣🤣 Damn

RIP Robert Redford. What a titanic figure of film.

Sea Hear Now on the Jersey Shore is the best vibe, year after year after year

Everything I write and say must be free of cognitive dissonance.

Unreal

Autistic / ADHD people out there, has being diagnosed and/or treated helped with your executive function?

I think I should indeed take the survival risk and try to do something about this. I'll also try putting up a flyer in my building, but if there's anyone in SE PDX who would be willing to help a little: the position I'm stuck in is I don't need as much help these days (couldn't hire for it)--
