We’ve lived 15 years under Citizens United, watching billionaires and corporations shape democracy with their wallets. Reform once seemed impossible. But now, a group in Montana is asking a radical question: What if states simply stopped granting corporations the power to spend in politics?

Ok, i haven’t done my research, but have a pretty good idea how many people have complained publicly about not receiving the Nobel Peace Prize.

“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.” Diary of Anne Frank January 13, 1943

Finally got a chance to watch the
@joshjohnsoncomedy.bsky.social
routine about Trump and Epstein that came out a few days ago. I am blown away that he managed to put together a full hour of stand-up about breaking news and it's somehow polished and funny as hell. Give it a watch and share it.

A lot of people asking where I watch silent movies. Lots of physical media, frankly, but also, a lot of freebies from archives! Here’s a thread:

I dont love roses. They are too much trouble, require too much attention and they hurt. So I don’t know why I like this one so much. The white rose my wife planted died and this simple lovely root stock makes me happy. 🌱

"As recently as a decade ago, a majority of Republicans said they had “a great deal or quite a lot of confidence” in higher education." And that trust has collapsed. Very true. Now, either the behavior of faculty changed dramatically about a decade ago, or something changed in American politics. 🤔

30 April 1945 | As Soviet forces neared his command bunker in Berlin Adolf Hitler shot himself. Hitler's Thousand Year Reich lasted twelve years, four months & eight days. We need to commemorate all the victims & remember where ideologies of hatred may lead humanity to.

Andrew Susman, exec. director of the Institute for Advertising Ethics, watched the UK ad & said it violated numerous principles. “The ad appears to present a first-person account, yet it’s unclear whether the narrator is recounting her own experience. If dramatized, that must be clearly disclosed.”

A climber with cancer whose life was saved by UK HealthCare? Not exactly. | Opinion
Linda Blackford: UK HealthCare made a dramatic, stirring ad about a young climber who said her cancer was cured by UK doctors. But the ad did not disclose that she was an actor, not a patient.

I’ve decided to leave Scientific American after an exciting 4.5 years as editor in chief. I’m going to take some time to think about what comes next (and go birdwatching), but for now I’d like to share a very small sample of the work I’ve been so proud to support (thread)

Time to be gross and put some unsolicited joy into the timeline. Here is my best story from this election season. It is not at all about politics. For a few days last month, I was on pool duty following Harris to a few events in Nevada and Arizona. For those unfamiliar, pool duty involves... 1/

Writing a cookbook review ending with “Can’t wait to try some of the recipes” is like writing an automobile review without having driven the car.

Always liked this. Maybe because I took it with a cheap phone and a flashlight in the rain. 🌱
