ABUGHAMANIA IS REAL

My priorities:

🚨 4 DAYS 🚨 Four days. We’re closing in. Join the final sprint: phone bank, knock doors, or hop in our volunteer Discord to get involved.

I think THE HITCH and THE CORRESPONDENT would be very interesting to read consecutively

today is the 6th anniversary of the official start of the COVID pandemic and I am concerned we have taken many wrong lessons from it

when you’re arguing about politics here on bluesky just remember there’s a young sheldon spinoff called george and mandy’s first marriage that’s watched by millions of people

eating a hot pocket now that they don't have the little cardboard sleeves is so humiliating

Yes I’d like to see them be held to some accountability as in having their business destroyed by lawsuits.

Cornelia is snoring so hard right now I’m actually getting upset I can’t be her and nap all day

the timothee chalamet ballet and opera thing is going for much longer than i thought it would

will i live to see the day where i'm not immediately suspicious when people compliment me

A booktok review of an influencer’s debut novel came up in my feed and they were saying the book was bad but then the first criticism was using “too big of words for small things” that they had to go look up… the examples were the words: infinitesimally, frivolous, and conglomerate ??

This is a two way race.

☎️ TOMORROW ☎️ Phone bank with Congressman Jamaal Bowman from 6 - 8 PM CT! Training will be provided if you've never done it before :) We'll talk to voters alongside @jamaalbowmanny.bsky.social about what they care about and how Kat can help.

Dan Davis, the longtime sound guy and beloved employee at 115 Bourbon Street, was found dead Monday in Blue Island, officials with the suburb confirmed.

The long wait after submitting an essay somewhere has helped me understand how so many writers got addicted to the instant feedback of Twitter

AIPAC sees we have the momentum, and they are panicking. Here’s their latest attack ad, and my reaction:

There's also the fact that Rowling has been fairly explicit that the money she earns through Harry Potter she's putting into anti-trans lobbying efforts. There's a difference, IMHO, between an artist with a shitty private life, and an artist using their money to fund regressive social change.

"I’ve long assumed that before too long, AI might take my job. I just assumed that someone would tell me when it happened," @caseynewton.bsky.social writes. Newton reports that in response to backlash, Grammarly will let "experts" opt out, but first they have to email the company. Seriously.

I have so many questions after reading this nymag.com/intelligence...

Industry-less Sunday :(

Haunted by this the.ink/p/never-eat-...

This is also how coaches that position themselves on experts behave on Instagram

In the worst cases, I think a lot of striving public intellectuals have a good instinct for this rhythm of “obvious obvious obvious wacko obvious” and that’s how you end up with an If Books Could Kill book like Freakonomics 6/

walking outside in an oversized jacket on a windy day and finally understanding how a tiny additional amount of fabric at the crotch could impact a Nordic ski jumper so much

Had a dream that when you die your next of kin gets your arm bones

We don’t need talkers right now. We need fighters. And no matter how many times they knock me down, I’ll get back up and fight with you. Every. Single. Time.

It took me too long to connect HEART THE LOVER to WRITERS & LOVERS in my mind

So much online conservatism these days is just "I miss being a kid"

This woman, US citizen living in Skokie, was detained at Ohare yesterday, taken to Broadview, then transferred to a detention facility in Wisconsin, now released. We know all this not because of DHS, who repeatedly denied that they even had her, but because her phone was pinging in those locations.

UPDATE: Sunny, a U.S. citizen, is on her way home after being shipped across state lines overnight. How the hell did this happen? Press conference tomorrow at Broadview, where we will hear Sunny’s side of the story. More details soon.

Happening now- the Broadview, IL ICE facility: a few dozen people have gathered here over the bizarre situation re: a US citizen who was allegedly detained by federal immigration agents, only for agents to reportedly say she wasn't there. Cook County Commissioner Kevin Morrison on scene as well.

I just left a concert fundraising for the National Immigrant Justice Center to head to Broadview. Here’s why:

Already had a bath today yet she yearns for the big puddle

These are so cute!!! But also y’all should know the song is Tubthumping.

Couple things here: 1. What the fuck 2. I am allllllmost more offended by the suggestion that I would give this shitbox edit than having my identity stolen 3. The CEO is scheduled to be on Decoder soon and we will see if they back out! www.theverge.com/ai-artificia...

three film photos from karaoke in nov that I just got developed, I think this was when @katmabu.bsky.social and @bencollins.bsky.social were singing a song everyone knew but I had never in my life heard

Most people also won’t finish your 500-word article. So write at whatever length is appropriate for the subject.

re: jobs, among everything that needs coverage, for people starting their work lives, it feels like an impossible labor market to break into. Impossible for everyone, but with less work experience or start of work shaped by the start of the pandemic, there's a LOT impacting young workers right now.

trying to sell something on Facebook marketplace actively makes me believe less in humanity

i cannot stress enough that if you know anything about how kristi noem found out she was fired you must tell me

i know people on here don't rly care about culture coverage but sharing because I'm proud I did it: reviewed Mitski's new residency at NYC's The Shed @us.theguardian.com seeing her perform for the ninth time in 9 years (!), I feel confident saying that Mitski is in her triumphant era.

It's easy to think of Boomer men as the guardians of "tradition." Yet surveys show GenZ men have more "traditional" ideas about gender roles. 59% of GenZ men, for ex, say men are expected to do too much to support gender equality, compared to 45% of Boomer men. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/m...

It's a great night to consider running for office. It's still not too late in some states to get on the ballot for 2026 -- and definitely not too early for 2027 or 2028. runforwhat.net

She looks like when you’re 14 and your mom wants you to take a photo and you’re like noooo

I keep getting girlboss DraftKings ads where they call betting on sports getting in on the drama and the coupon code is SLAY 💀

I'm looking to hear some specific examples of how disabled Minnesotans have been harmed by federal Medicaid pause for reporting I'm doing at @motherjones.com . Please reach out to [email protected] with any leads.
