His racism is still so shocking to me.

I’m watching cookie icing. Like a lot a lot. I’m icing flooding maxing. I will make no holiday cookies, nevertheless.

Let's be clear: no Republicans in seats Trump won by less than 10pts is safe. We're coming for all of them.

She shouldn't have to keep doing this by herself. She is supposedly a member of a political party and every single one of her *colleagues* should be BLASTING the fascist in chief. ALL OF THEM. Where is the solidarity???

The 26yo became radicalized today by having to sit through an in-person HR healthcare insurance presentation. “It’s immoral!” I know, my sweet, I know.

Please. I’m begging… Someone tell him that MRIs use magnets and that the majority of the human body is water. Give him time to him respond.

The most precious commodity you have is your attention. You don’t have to waste it on poor-faith debates or arguments with strangers if you don’t think they’ll be productive. You can prioritize the things that matter to you and make your life richer.

Claire Danes’s entire reason for acting is “what’s the most anxiety a human can perform for the camera?” She’s so so good at it.

Unfortunately, in US journalism it is considered neutral to spread a lie, but it is considered "biased" to call out a lie. So, there is a structural asymmetry that rewards colorful lies with virality.

Winter Storm is on for today in Chicago. 5-9 inches predicted. Drive carefully!

The easiest blocks are those that promote AI slop. Blockity block block.

A Thursday holiday and then a three day weekend is the superior holiday format.

This weekend’s read is Joe Hill’s KING SORROW. Very excited about this one. #BookSky

I hope everyone got a bit of what they were waiting for today.

The feed is confusing when it is about sports or Star Wars.

If you are looking forward to sharing a big meal with others tomorrow and if your job is not to prep and cook, your job is to clean. Everything. It must be spotless before you sit.

People will die, and are currently dying, because RFK was granted one of the most powerful megaphones in the country. Two people who could have thrown barriers in front of his climb decided not to; there's a sex scandal here but it is not the biggest scandal.

I’ve been working on my knife skills. Here’s tonight’s mirepoix.

Google at its peak was basically the best information retrieval system in human history and they and every competitor decided going from there to “you didn’t want answers you wanted half-assed auto-complete 80%-wrong hallucinations” in a few years was the right idea

Big walk plus an afternoon of garden cleanup. Tired.

Every Christmas song is a version of Baby Shark.

Harvest is now a more repulsive word than moist.

every week just gets weirder tbh

With every passing day, America needs a bigger third reconstruction.

As an exvangelical, I encourage everyone to read this. Deconstructing the ideas I was taught about sexuality and relationships was the hardest personal work I had to do.

you 🫵 are supposed to help people

I regret calling Luke Hemsworth the Rail-Drink Hemsworth but my husband was confusing all the Hemsworth men, especially Liam and Chris to a frustrating degree. I’m sure he’s a really nice person. Luke, that is. But my husband is really nice too. Nice men all around in this post, I’m sure.

I love this hack. But I also have a fear that if a hotel room is too dark, I will simply sleep forever.

Finally! My new book Boarding Schools and the Indigenous Story is a comprehensive history of the efforts of the US government to remove native children from their families, from colonization to today. For middle grades, but for everyone. You can pre-order here: www.rhcbooks.com/books/744961...

Accounts defending MTG are out in force this morning. Blockity block block.

Why am I learning things about these people?! I hate it.

I wonder if this is how the ancient Greeks felt just watching their lives get absolutely rag-dolled time and time again by their useless idiot gods

The "worst of the worst" is a big lie. Only 2.6% on list of 614 Operation Midway Blitz arrestees had criminal histories, DOJ records show (gift link) www.chicagotribune.com/2025/11/14/o...

Chicagoland: We had 3” of snow on Monday. Today the windows are open and I’m harvesting the last of the herbs in my garden.

I might play this as my alarm every morning for the next month

I wanted to share probably the most important sermon I’ve given and it’s while I’m being arrested. It’s torture pure and simple what happens at #Broadview. I’m ok, though I was thrown to the ground and choked with my pectoral cross. A review of the video shows I was peaceful - did I deserve this?

This weekend’s read is WILD DARK SHORE. Have seen this book on so many Best of 2025 lists and it’s fantastic. #BookTok

Listen I’m just saying terribleminds.com/ramble/2018/...

For two months, the U.S. government has been racial profiling as masked federal agents hunted for immigrants throughout Chicago. They’ve repeatedly snatched up U.S. citizens while traumatizing communities. “I felt like a piece of trash.” Here is our story www.chicagotribune.com/2025/11/15/l...

I just watched a movie and did you guys know that Frankenstein was the doctor’s name?

"What if one of YOUR favorite politicians/celebrities/etc is on the list?" Did you all not notice how quickly we dropped Neil Gaiman when we found out about the things he did? Do you know how beloved that guy used to be and how loathed he is now? I think that right there should answer your question.

These emails really do highlight why rich folk are so impressed by ChatGPT.

Let this piece radicalize you about our children and how they have been taught to read. For another deep dive on this topic, I recommend the Sold A Story podcast.

You probably saw videos of a nighttime raid in Chicago. Agents rappelling from a helicopter, bursting down doors, questioning brown-skinned immigrants. We investigated -- and found little evidence to support the government’s claims about Tren de Aragua. www.propublica.org/article/chic...
