I can't get over this number: in 2007, there were 360,000 newspaper jobs. Now, there are 80,000. "My local paper sucked!" Sure. What sucks even more? The void. "I get all my news from the Guardian!" No, the Guardian doesn't report on your town council, your school board, local cops.

This was months ago, but it is still disgusting. Shame on them!

This is, I will remind everybody, 1) genocide by definition and 2) una guerra sucia como Argentina

When will this nightmare end? I so tire of exclaiming over and over . . . "He can't do that!"

This is not hyperbole. It is the literal truth. Ten years ago, the only media that gave this ANY credence were fringe Neo-Nazi & white supremacist forums.

Some of the replies to this are so dispiriting Let me introduce you to Durham's amazing TROSA, which provides free housing, treatment, work training, & education to people with substance use disorders Take a minute to meet their graduates: trosainc.org/graduate-sto... None are anti-vaxx activists

As someone who's raised over $21 million directly for hundreds of Democratic candidates, it behooves me to post this excellent explainer by @matthodges.bsky.social once in awhile. matthodges.com/posts/2024-0...

Bronze Age northern Europe was wild. Wish we knew what the heck was going on.

We are the laughingstock of the world because of our moronic and psychotic president. Deservedly so.

This makes sense if you think of the university as nothing but a finishing school with a football team.

as far as i can tell “bio hacking” is just a goofy term for giving yourself some combination of an eating disorder and a drug addiction

I just can't get over the fact that no one in the White House has done anything to encourage or congratulate US Olympians for two weeks.

“What is needed is a new system, one rooted in relationship, humility and respect for life itself,” write Forrest S. Cuch, Darren Parry and Max Perry Mueller in an op-ed. “That new system is perhaps the old one.”

Our Pulitzer-winning "Friends of the Court" series began with this story that revealed how SCOTUS Justice Clarence Thomas had, for 20+ years, been treated to undisclosed luxury vacations by real estate titan and GOP megadonor Harlan Crow. (Published April 2023)

We have seen a familiar tug-of-war: some lawmakers are working on ideas that could make civic participation easier, while other proposals would add new hurdles to registering and voting. One major example is HB209. buff.ly/mQwGJ4F
