No, grocery store, this is not actually good news, because I scheduled my pickup window at the time when I can come get it, not earlier!

I don’t want to formulate words yet, but my friend Alice Wong, @sfdirewolf.bsky.social of the Disability Visibility Project, has passed. Here are the words she left behind: www.instagram.com/p/DREMDNBjnq...

I shouldn’t leave this buried in the replies. Sound on for the full Snicker experience.

Why can't every tech guy be like Tom from MySpace: make $500 million and then fuck off into obscurity. Why do they have to keep bothering us

In MUCH nicer news, here is a Big Potat

Liberated from the evil website

Small joy: my new glasses will be here on Monday :)

All the Epstein emails are powerful elites saying shit like “Hello my friend the pedophile, i need your advice as a pedophile, what do you think about this other pedophile? Pedophilic Regards, your Friend ;)” and instead of swinging from a gibbet most of them are still writing op-eds against leftism

I am still masking when teaching and when in large groups generally so why is it that this fall I keep getting sick!!! Today I went to teach my Tuesday night lessons and had to leave after the first one because I felt so nauseous and achy. What the heck.

Jesus CHRIST Angus what is going on

Chuck Schumer if he was a caveman:

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

“New York Times conducts hostile interview with children’s education influencer questioning her recognition of comprehensively documented war crimes” is not a sentence I could have imagined a few years ago

America's safety net is gossamer thin, but I know that had I been born elsewhere, I would be dead by now. We are being led by a cadre of spoiled, ignorant Darwinists who do not realize that they have not survived because they are special or hardier, but because of wealth handed down to them.

do the water fountains in the Senate building just run straight lead

Did ChatGPT tell the Democratic Party to kill itself??

Chuck Schumer is such a crate trained GOP lackey he's making Generic Moderate™ Hakeem Jefferies look like Malcolm X

Angus King really doing the most he can to disgrace himself after decades of distinguished public service. What a fucking disaster.

Don't forget you can fax them as well for free faxzero.com/fax_senate.php

Last night, the Trump Administration sent a letter suggesting Wisconsin should return our FoodShare payments. My response ⬇️

As his work would have been orally composed rather than written, I think it's more accurate to consider Homer an early sort of podcaster

for my colleagues & friends in the American Musicological Society, a small (but big) update about what has transpired at this year’s meeting www.facebook.com/share/p/17Gz...

I don't want to "drill down," or "circle back" I want to go to sleep on the floor

AMS was fun and slightly less stressful than last year! It was so good to see folks that I’ve only met online before, plus I got to see some fabulous papers.

Saw some very cool papers and excited for more later this afternoon! But also I am hilariously tired (got to MN at 11pm last night) and need a siesta. Also: I’m pretty shy irl so if you see me do say hi! I want to chat but I find it paralyzingly difficult to approach folks cold.

Come join us for lunch tomorrow :)))

Tentative plans — anything crucial on Friday/Saturday that I’m missing?

He didn’t even fucking graduate! As someone who has two doctorates from UW, I do not claim him and the alumni association will be hearing from me repeatedly.

Hey, I feel like they're not publicizing this much, but SMT is doing free livestreams of selected sessions. Info is gathered here: minneapolis2025.ams-smt.org/smt-hybrid-s... #amsmt25

Golden's out. Someone with sense and decency REALLY needs to step up in ME-2 or we'll end up with a MAGA idiot in that seat. #Maine

What is HAPPENING

IT’S ALMOST LIKE TAXING THE RICH AND FEEDING KIDS IS A POPULAR POSITION

Tonight's even more proof the mainstream reporters who are still on Twitter are suffering from a brain problem akin Havana Syndrome that is preventing them from accurately doing their jobs. They are being cooked alive by a snuff-focused apartheid algorithm.

Bluesky rn

OMG Mamdani opens his speech with a quote from no less than Eugene Debs: “I see a dawn of a better day for humanity.” 😭😭😭

Permission to lib out

Werner Herzog directing a Maybelline ad: Perhaps she is born with it. What a frightful notion, to be imbued with the fetters of capitalist commodification from birth. It suggests God Himself is a part of our dreadful pattern instead of a refuge from it.

This is my third year teaching at UW-Baraboo and unfortunately it will be my last. Really glad to see folks like Representative DeSanto and Dr. Kraus speaking up about this situation. www.wortfm.org/uw-system-be...

"Bury him face down." This barn burner of an obit might feel hyperbolic to people who entered the world in the wake of 9/11; it's not. Cheney was one of the architects of today's American Christian conservatism. He was directly responsible for millions of deaths. Salt the earth where he's buried.

I did actually buy some bigass hydrocolloid bandages, let the experiments commence 💀

Music studies folks! I will be at AMS/SMT Friday & Saturday! Please come say hi as I try to network while navigating crushing imposter syndrome!

It's not in this article but the government asserts that the sandwich was thrown at "point blank range", which implies subway sandwiches have defined effective weapon ranges of varying lethality, and I would like to see the government's chart of these ranges.

Something that I’ve been struggling to articulate in X-Files rewatch: Modern showrunners seem to 1) Truly enjoy punishing/traumatizing the female characters 2) Be allergic to any type of happy endings 3) Treat their most dedicated fans with disdain & contempt

Me googling: pimple patch that can cover whole neck

This whole second puberty in your 30s thing really fucking sucks, I just want to have a neck clear of acne again

this is a wild take but I don't understand the point of having discords treating fanfic like a bookclub activity instead of just.... leaving the author a comment???? Like THEY ARE RIGHT THERE?? THEY WOULD LOVE KNOW THAT YOU'RE ENJOYING THEIR WORK??

bro biologists won't even agree on the definition of "alive" you think you can get them to back you on "two genders" lmao

Yes. All the empirics on misinformation indicate that the way to defeat bad ideas is to mock and marginalize them. Constantly declaring "hey the far right isn't so bad" is a terrible strategy both morally and electorally. Dems should be way more comfortable saying "look at these fucking psychos"
