CDs don't go out of business and suddenly all the music you've bought on their platform for years goes up in smoke with no recompense.

This is one of the most meaningful worldview differences between the evangelicalism I was raised in and the Judaism I chose. Prioritizing intent over impact and remorse over repair is one of the most insidious sicknesses that the Reformation has left us with.

"It doesn't make me feel good at all to say, 'I told you so,'" said Garcia-Grewal. "I am just angry. I am livid, because I told the contractors this would happen." www.theborderchronicle.com/breaking-new...

TIL that so many passengers are trying to avoid going to the Officially Licensed Trump™️ Airport that United booking agents have been instructed to change flights to other nearby airports for little to no cost (if flyers call, this isn't something they're advertising). Honestly, valid concern. ETTD.

President Trump used a primetime address to make false claims, threaten news outlets, and release documents that misleadingly suggest Colorado's public voter rolls were "compromised" by China.

a few good Jessica’s

As I listen to the president invoke the vulnerability of American elections, I think of the Republican head of the Colorado County Clerks Assoc. who says a standardized national system would be far more vulnerable to hacks than the decentralized system today that is locally and state-driven.

This is why Dems are reluctant to run on retribution, despite its popularity. They want the power he accrued and the surveillance infrastructure he formalized. Period.

Amazing that this man can perfectly execute both of the Great New York Expressions - Italian AND Jewish

Their vision of heaven is a place where only those who have "earned it" will be there, while everyone who was too "lazy" or will suffer for eternity. That ideology informs their behavior in life: they ARE trying to create heaven on earth. But their idea of heaven is one based on who gets excluded.

Come for the unhinged, soulless ranting from disciples of an actual death cult, stay for the blood libel and xenophobia.

This is one of the most memorable moments of Jurassic Park for me. I remember watching it when it came out in theaters. I remember how deeply I felt the character's utter joy, feeling a living dinosaur breathing beside him.

There was a young artist* at the Colorado Black Arts Festival whose work caught my eye. I asked if the drawings and the photography were both hers, and she said there were no photographs - everything is pencil or charcoal. Pretty sure everyone within 20' heard me say "Are you fucking kidding me?!"

Trump approved disaster aid requests from six red states last week. Two days later, he rejected aid requests from four blue states. Not only is he punishing states who didn’t vote for him, he’s playing politics with people’s lives. Despicable.

I don't always agree with G-d, but you know what: when they're right, they're right.

I once wrote Dante had Beatrice; Orwell had Stalin; for political writers their muses are not the good things. Wrote this in one sitting today.

let's bring back wearing fancy hats. maybe ones that require a large hatpin.

always hearing terrible news about that platner guy. at this point i wouldn't be surprised if it came out that he had an actual nazi tattoo on his chest. i bet everyone would immediately cease supporting him to avoid embarrassing themselves, if that happened

Minimum wage job: a mistake can cost you a hand Medium wage job: a mistake can cost a million dollars CEO: You can set $70 billion on fire making a mistake, name your company after it, and barely even remember doing so the next day

Minimum wage job: takes training to do at all quickly and without losing a finger Medium wage job: takes training to do at all quickly without making a million dollar mistake CEO: doesn't need to be literate, can burn $70 billion on any stupid idea he wants, infinite ketamine

Minimum wage job: 12 hours of delicate, finicky, painful hard work Medium wage job: 8 hours a day of delicate, annoying hard work. With emails CEO of company: 4 hours of gooning to his AI secretary with a suspiciously childlike face, with word salad about quantum physics and how smart he is

I haven't had any desire to celebrate this day for years. It just depresses me. As a kid, I thought it was cool that I'd be alive for the 250th birthday of my country. Now I just hope that, if I live to see 94 + the U.S. lives to our 300th, maybe then we will actually be the country we claim to be.

ICE celebrating “Freedom 250” by taking shackled immigrants from our nation’s capital to concentration camps in the South.

This opening of the 1619 Project has long been the most ringing sentence for me about this country, its founding, and its founding document. Its truth could apply to everyone who sought to broaden and deepen equality and rights.

On 05 November 1996, Diana DeGette was elected to Congress. About 6 months later, Melat Kiros was born. And 29 years later, Melat Kiros primaried Diana DeGette... and unseated her. We SHOULD have 29 year olds in Congress. We should NOT allow anyone to sit in Congress for 29 years.

here is what i think: we're not consumers or spectators, we are participants with agency. you should not hope that democrats will do anything. you must work to force them to do the right thing. the odds are long, but we are far from the first americans to face long odds. we will win.

Of course they decided to hurt trans people on the last day of Pride. Because these people will never miss an opportunity to add insult to injury.

Fuck every single Democrat that has ever been willing to compromise on trans dignity, rights and humanity. I hope you assholes are pleased with yourselves. I don’t know if you could’ve prevented this moment, but you should’ve been fighting every step of the way.

expand the court. no more half measures. this is intolerable.

This birthright ruling is why I just refuse to tolerate all the Democrat garment rending over NY voters choosing progressive candidates. They are incapable of governing in this moment. The politics of appeasement and centrism gets us to a 5-4 decision on the constitutional question.

I have several new stickers, I talked to many strangers, I am slathered in aloe lotion, and my feet HORT. Happy Pride! 💖🏳️‍🌈

"People are totally still coming! They texted me like ten minutes ago saying they're almost here guys, I swear!"

Happy 100th to this mothertrucking icon.

KARL: Rs are gonna make you the poster child for the D Party MAMDANI: Let them. We don't have to ask ourselves what life looks like if a socialist wins. I won last year & over the course of the last 6 months what we've delivered for working people are the very things we were told were impossible.

not gay as in happy queer as in collective liberation for everyone means pushing beyond a world where interconnected oppressive systems have their hooks in anybody and solidarity is the only way home and also, sometimes, fuck you

And as you watch the Trump regime's sloppy, lame, politicized "celebrations" that have been thrown together at the last minute with duct tape, please understand Congress created a nonpartisan commission for 250 plans in 2016! I went to one of its first meetings, at DC's DAR hall, SEVEN YEARS AGO.

Every day or two, my Discover feed becomes a mix of people I follow, people similar to them, and A Secret Third Thing. It's usually something completely outside of my interests. Once, it was furry art. Then baseball. For a while it was Pretty Trees, which was nice. Right now it's...chickens. 🤨

I am that one friend who's too woke. Wish I was more hopepilled, but at the same time, I think 45% is still pretty impressive for an elder millennial (and Capricorn). britmonkey.com/2020s-politi

absolutely. i think that there should be more of these big, federally organized civic activities. an annual fair where each state showcases their best food and fare is actually a great idea.

"But as I learned, a jolt of hope will kick you in the head when you least expect it."

When a Jew wins a landslide election in the most Jewish city in the United States, where massive numbers of Jews turned out to reject a terrorist org that lobbies for genocide:

Just a reminder that some of the people who yell loudest about Jewish values or Jewish community or whatever do not give a shit about the most important, core teachings in our tradition, like that saving lives is prioritized over pretty much EVERYTHING even most of our other commandments to God.

the thing about greenblatt is that this is a dude who watched elon musk give a "heil hitler" and then said "looks like nothing to me." why would anyone take him seriously?

"But then on top of that, the U.S. is—we are basically alone. Everyone else is marching towards an energy transition, and we’re trying to go back to coal."

Vermont has banned AI chatbot therapy, passing a law that requires a mental health professional to conduct therapeutic services.

I simply do not understand how moving humanity to a planet that at a minimum doesn’t sustain any complex lifeforms would be an easier or better alternative than bringing the temperature back down slightly on ours

*slow clap* Brilliant analysis, Senator. Yours is a truly revolutionary grasp of the issues of the day.
