Listen, if there really were medbeds, I'd jump into one, thyroid first. But COME ON.

One reason I do not think Trump is going to create a 1,000 year reich is because he failed to cancel a middling funnyman and immediately pivoted to trying to outlaw not having a headache.

A few days ago, @alisondoyle.bsky.social and I stumbled across a serious contender for worst career advice of 2025. A career expert suggested that people who are not passionate about their jobs should quit. Please do not do this. thejobhopper.substack.com/p/please-do-...

if the democratic party were led by van hollen instead of chuck schumer or hakeem jeffries right now democratic party approval rating would fly through the roof

Just very weird to follow politics knowing that there's going to be a recession that'll make everything we're talking about feel like it happened in prehistoric times.

Jarvis: I hate to say this to my friends here at CNN, mass media is dying, so they're taking the last of these vestiges of institutions that matter and they're trying to turn them into propaganda organs under threat from the head of the FCC

I am begging political editors at legacy outlets to wait for confirmation before publishing misinformation that contributes to targeting vulnerable people. You don't need to be first on this. I promise you there are things more important than being first. Like your integrity.

have spent the last 12 hours in some sort of pre-grief for what's clearly coming, an imperial boomerang with x-ray vision now unconstrained by whatever law we had left

The problem with allowing guns everywhere is that no one is safe anywhere.

BLS Reports 900k Fewer Jobs Than Initially Reported. We're Not Surprised. My co-editor and I have been saying for a long time that there are a LOT fewer jobs out there than the data have shown so far. Now we have proof. (Being right isn't always fun.) open.substack.com/pub/thejobho...

This is a scary job market. There’s no way to make the data tell any other story. #jobsreport #jobsdata #unemployment thejobhopper.substack.com/p/jobs-repor...

I'm reporting this thread to the police.

Pritzker: Any rational person who has spent even the most minimal amount of time studying human history has to ask themselves one important question: Once they get the citizens of this nation comfortable with the current atrocities committed under the color of law, what comes next

This is a weird time to be Going Through It. Whether you’re dealing with family stuff, career issues, or health problems, it’s hard to balance the specific bullshit with the general shitstorm that surrounds us. open.substack.com/pub/oldmomth...

remember folks, we cant have gun restrictions because if we do the federal government will occupy our streets, imprison people without due process, ship dissidents to foreign gulags and things of that nature

“My friend got hit in the back… my friend Victor saved me, he laid on top of me…” We are failing them.

one thing i've taken away from surveys asking the public to evaluate trump's most authoritarian moves is that the ordinary americans have a much clearer sense of what's happening than most professional political observers

Pritzker: To the members of the press who are assembled here today and listening across the country, I am asking for your courage to tell it like it is. This is not a time to pretend here that there are two sides to this story.

Powell: "GDP growth has slowed notably in the first half of this year, to a pace of 1.2%, roughly half the 2.5% pace in 2024. The declining growth has largely reflected a slowdown in consumer spending ... higher tariffs have begun to push up prices in some categories of goods."

Illinois is launching a first-of-its-kind legal hotline for LGBTQ+ individuals — Illinois Pride Connect. As the only state in the nation that will provide free legal advice to protect the LGBTQ+ community, we'll help fight ignorance with information and cruelty with compassion.

Reporter Eddie Kim went downtown to cover the detainment of an immigrant by ICE this morning. Then he was pepper-sprayed in the face by an ICE agent standing a foot away. Completely unprovoked. See our exclusive story and video from @eddiekimx.bsky.social here: sf.gazetteer.co/i-reported-f...

I wish more politicians understood how the economy is rigged against regular people the way Bill Burr does.

Because nothing says “you should feel free to come visit Washington” like standing in front of dozens of armed soldiers next to a guy who thinks women shouldn’t be able to vote 🙃

when the AI bubble finally collapses and everyone who spent a year smugly hyping it suddenly has to come crawling back with their tail between their legs, i just want to say i am not going to be the bigger person about it. i am going to be meaner than you can even believe
