Jesus was crucified with two thieves, and remarked to one of them “Today you will be with me in paradise.” Which also might be soft on crime.

Absolutely not. Had a long conversation with a friend today about how a lot of things haven’t turned out the way we’d hoped, largely due to structural changes and unpredictable events (like a pandemic) out of our control, and trying to grieve the nebulous losses without undue self-blame.

Everybody to Congress today

going to my email job to argue with my supervisor about productivity while wondering if he meant nukes

Saying “on top of everything else, the government is slowly weakening my skeleton” sounds insane, and yet…

Two people need to answer for this: Blackburn and Broyles-Aplin.

I honestly think one reason Millennials are so angry about all this is that many of us grew up during the brief period in American history where the official line was that we had won history *because* of our values, and most of us actually internalized that.

I’m also music-first, I think it’s wild when my friends know all the words to the 2nd verse of a song. I enjoy lyrics too but it takes focused repeat listening, they’re just not what grab me.

Streets are mostly clear, but the path between the house and my car is solid ice and very treacherous. My mom and I were going to get groceries, but she didn’t feel safe crossing, so we stood on opposite sides of the ice patch yelling our plans and I had to go without her like in Land Before Time.

The gospel

I don’t want to hear anything from an elected official unless it’s a plan to defund the DHS and impeach Noem, Bovino, etc. No texts. No emails. No talk about the economy. Step up or step off.

This is exactly what I expect of elected officials in this moment - counter-legislation, and loudly and clearly declaring values. The political calculus might be different at the national level, but the right thing to do is the right thing to do.

His not being impeached by the end of the business day as a result of this threat is as much a problem as the threat itself. It’s not just Trump that the world has to worry about, it’s a GOP that supports him and Democrats who suck their thumbs and refuse to even discuss pushing to remove him

It’s time for leaders to either put up or shut up, and history will remember.

I will start to take our leader’s resolve seriously when they start shouldering the burden of courage they are demanding of us.

Members of Congress should be openly stating right now that military action against Greenland will result in impeachment and removal of the President and the Vice President.

semi-regular reminder that ICE was only created in 2003 when you are asked to imagine a world without ICE, you're basically being asked to remember where you were when Lilo & Stitch came out

From a good friend in Minneapolis: "Target is allowing ICE to stage in their parking lots, use their restrooms, and abduct people from inside their stores - so if you weren’t boycotting already, now is the time." They were staging in Chicago as well.

If ICE kills an American citizen is it still immigration and customs enforcement?

"This promise of an AI future, is really just a collective anxiety that wealthy people have about how well they're gonna be able to control us in the future." - @tressiemcphd.bsky.social with an absolute mic drop moment about AI bullshit. Incredible words. Listen to all of it!

Meta projected that 10% of its revenue was from scams in 2024. This company has major problems we will see unfold in the next few years www.reuters.com/investigatio...

Movie you’ve watched more than six times with a gif. No Stars (Wars nor Trek), LOTR, or Marvel, Disney Animated or Pixar.

lol “Thanksgiving is really a time for mushes of all sorts.” 100% chance I quote this to friends and family this week.

@wnxpnashville.bsky.social This classic Opry set is such a fun little treat!

I was there and this was a great service! I had 2 shirts and some sandals repaired, and not only did the craftspeople do an amazing job, but also the library social media staff respected my desire not to be on video because I was in messy hair weekend mode. 😂

From this minister's op-ed: "People wanting to experience God are more likely to meet the Divine trying to shut down the Broadview, Illinois, ICE facility than we ever were in church...God does not live in our houses of worship, but...with those who are bearing the brunt of cruelty in this moment."

“Federal authorities told demonstrators Friday that there would be ‘no more prayer’ in front of or inside the Broadview ICE facility, in a move that mystified local leaders and raised legal questions.” blockclubchicago.org/2025/11/07/f...

Also finally took care of some long-overdue cleaning

Sitting outside on a perfect 78 degree day and smelling an apple cake baking in the oven through my open windows as I read a novel about the pleasures of being alive. Perfect.

Gonna be thinking about this lede for a minute.

The recent ICE raid which emptied an entire apartment building was apparently at the request of Wells Fargo, which is trying to foreclose on the building.

Every day there’s a fresh reason to delete your accounts.

My favorite pair of summer pants have torn after just one season and being linen are too thin to repair. I am so salty about it, and it’s partially my fault since this brand has hurt me like this before.

How can every US holiday for the past 4+ years have “record travel”? Media outlets never contextualize the “record” being set or broken, and I have a hard time believing that the number of air travelers just keeps increasing exponentially. Someone who knows please tell me. I need a 10-year graph!

The summer I turned pretty feral

This is Archibald. He's been holding in a sneeze since last September. Finally let it loose. 13/10 bless you buddy

@philinvestigates.com @nc5official.bsky.social @wpln.bsky.social @nashvillebanner.bsky.social @tennesseelookout.com Has Gov. Lee released a statement on this? As a Tennessean I’ve got questions.

Sometimes people describe politics and they go “the pendulum swings one way, and then the other” but when did the pendulum swing away from the rich and towards the poor? Did I miss that?

Having big feelings about broken glass … but not broken families… is abnormal

kind of just endlessly sad and grieving that there are so few voices in the public sphere making the basic principled argument that immigration is an affirmative good in every way and the best way for this country to serve humanity is to welcome people who want or need to leave their homes

The Candy House by Jennifer Egan

This is Louie. He got a really bad haircut. And also a villain origin story. 13/10 (TT: maddiehilaski)

This is about AI but when I was in school getting an English degree, a pack of the secondary Ed majors never did the reading, openly complained about the books. How are you going for a job where you have teenagers do the reading, when you won’t do the reading???
