In Salem. Doing Heresy.

Kid 1 got a full ride to Seton Hall! He will not be going but, still, pretty cool!

40 years ago we’d have congressional hearings falsely accusing metal bands of putting backwards messages in their songs that told kids to kill themselves & now we have a planet-killing chatbot that’s all like “bet you won’t commit suicide chickenshit bitch” & the government is like here’s $5 billion

Both parties actively endorsed Andrew Cuomo and he STILL couldn't beat a vocally pro-Palestine, pro-trans, socialist, Muslim immigrant. The vindication I feel IS a part of that obvs coz I'm a petty little cunt. But I mostly feel intense joy and relief that another way has been shown to be possible.

In the war of the sexes, women are fighting for equal pay and bodily autonomy. Men are fighting for sex slaves.

Adults preoccupied with children’s genitalia harass child. Fixed it for you.

Best Salem Massachusetts recs?

Thinking only of Rosalind Franklin today, and what was stolen from her (and so many other female scientists alongside her).

If I'm doing the math correctly, Musk's big pay packet yesterday could have made each of these now-dead people millionaires instead. He is among the sickest men the world has ever produced.

A distraught man came to Broadview searching for his wife of five years after she was taken by ICE at her court hearing. He wasn’t told anything, tracked her by her phone, and was left weeping in the parking lot.

is a sandwich a speech act

Happy Birthday, Albert Camus! Born on this day, November 7, 1913

To put this in scale, Elon Musk's salary from Tesla alone could fund the SNAP program for the entire country into 2034.

Should I admit that this reminds me of my 16yo and 10yo children?

Ocean tonight says Aidan is right

New phrenology just dropped!

🧵Brian Straw is one of the folks charged, along w/ Kat Abughazaleh, w/ felony conspiracy to impede federal officers in Broadview [Chicago]. As it happens, he's also my friend, a deeply decent man whose compassion shines & fairly shimmers off him, no matter what he's doing. If you can help, pls do.

If I give god grief for the prayers that don’t get answered, do I have to give credit where it’s due when the thing I didn’t want to do gets cancelled?

Your periodic reminder that mRNA vaccines are a scientific and public health game-changer. Those that have been approved have passed stringent efficacy and safety checks. They protect you and your child against potentially fatal diseases. You may, however, get a sore arm.

Ellis also finds that the feds' use of force in Chicago "shocks the conscience."

Ellis: "The government would have people believe, instead, that the Chicagoland area is in a vice hold of violence, ransacked by rioters and attacked by agitators. That simply is untrue. And the government's own evidence in this case belies that assertion."

Anyways. That's why every woman you know is bloodthirsty. Here's the moon.

Is it hard to steal a boat? Asking for research purposes, not crimes.

"should women work" but it really means "should men have to ever answer to or even encounter women who are not their wives, offspring, and/or other servile figures"

What is happening at Goddard is absolutely devastating. We are losing history. We are losing an incredible amount of human talent, skill, and knowledge. Rebuilding it will be impossible same for same. Industry can not absorb the people or the equipment. This is undoing space science in the US.

Semi-regular reminder that it took less than one generation for women to outcompete men in degrees and home ownership once the legal barriers were removed. The problem we are faced with is that men would sooner burn down the world than admit they are not now, and never were, naturally superior.

Women should have jobs, but Ross Douthat shouldn’t.

Girl, are you the workplace? Because I'm going to ruin you.

Omg. Less than half of the rooms in the Louvre were equipped with cameras!

Wait, so, what the far-right are saying is, "We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children"?

"Imagine being a single father who supports a series of younger and younger ex-wives on just a CEO’s salary, and having to tell your semi-estranged children that the caviar on their plate tomorrow night might be Osetra instead of Beluga."

me and who??

It’s good to see someone is living my best life.

They think they are entitled to any woman's body. Even a president. Pure trash.

Some have suggested Zohran's success is rooted *only* in cost of living. But he also ran hard against Trump's authoritarianism/ICE raids. He ran the most explicitly pro-immigrant, pro-cosmopolitan campaign in memory. Let's say it: He ran an anti-fascist campaign. 5/ newrepublic.com/article/2027...

A whole new generation is going to be reading about Eugene Debs this morning. Read him from Haymarket in his own words. www.haymarketbooks.org/books/1246-t...

It’s men who built a world that’s on the brink of collapse because they over exploited every natural resource on earth— including their fellow human beings. Maybe it’s their turn to stay home and let the women be in charge?

Young Republicans leaders praise Nazis. Here’s why that’s bad news for Zohran Mamdani. by Jonathan Greenblatt

Sometimes I think I’ve reached the acceptance stage of grief over the death my late husband. And sometimes I join a fundraising committee for a new park so it can include a dedication to him.

I wear a white poppy. I'm an RAF veteran who was shot in the leg in Afghanistan. Fuck every single person trying to mandate red poppies in November. They're all flag shagging fascist fucks.

I love that British people call clueless people a 'donut'. how many other pastry based insults are there (in English or any other language)?

Dog may be man’s best friend but the cat is mine

New paper out today: "The Bell Tolls for Folk Psychology: Are Societies Ready for a Public Health Quarantine Model of Criminal Justice?" co-authored with Alan C. Logan and Susan Prescott. www.mdpi.com/2075-4698/15...

Jared Golden isn't seeking re-election because early polls show him getting his ass kicked and his primary challenger has a better chance at winning than he does But he can pretend it's because progressives are bad, flail on your way out dude, whatever, byebye

More Maine 8”x10”

Everyone should pay careful attention to the Maine voter ID ballot measure (Prop 1). It is on track to lose -- thereby proving that the GOP claims that voter ID laws are overwhelmingly popular is a lie. Perhaps now the legacy media will stop repeating that nonsense.

I miss having sex but at least I don't wanna die anymore, and I think that's pretty cool ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

TRANSITION CO-CHAIR LINA KHAN!?!?!??!

Live, laugh, lebensraum

here is my story about how Zohran's focus on community amid the loneliness epidemic helped young people connect their politics to an organizing infrastructure, that interviewed ZM, and does not use the NYT's framing of "they don't know how to make friends" :-) and also ran 4 days before NYT's lol
