Well… at least the Smithsonian museums will re-open and I won’t be hitting my head against a wall staying at home with an insanely smart and curious toddler

Congrats to America’s Sadiq Khan!

If you had told me 20 years ago that I'd be sneaking a listen to Lily Allen's new breakup album while juggling a toddler and baking from scratch on a rainy autumn day... I'd say "That tracks". open.spotify.com/album/4Dn3Z1...

My Facebook ads are full of gossip about David Harbour and Lily Allen. This is 100% my fault.

Take note of all these people turning out for protests in small towns in red states. Remember them the next time you’re inclined to write an area off because “they voted for this.”

I am in a toxic relationship with #RyanMurphy. I start his shows, all excited about the cast and the atmosphere, but I never finish them. Radically progressive portrayals of gender, sexuality, and (sometimes) race, all wrapped up in the ickiest packaging. www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/m...

I would like it if all these racists and bigots died of old age in anonymity and decrepitude, not publicly executed and crowds of people are terrorised. www.bbc.com/news/article...

One of the Jewish traditions I like most is on Passover, when Jews mourn the suffering of Egyptians even amid our liberation. When reciting the 10 plagues during the Seder, we dip a finger into our wine and remove a drop each time. The message is clear: you don’t rejoice in your enemy’s suffering.

The people sliding down holding their children 💔

In case you’re wondering what part of the (it’s self defense/I was always against it/I was just following orders) genocide timeline we are at.

Every time I yell at my toddler for touching gum she’s found on the ground she becomes so angry with me like I am trying to kill her spirit of curiousity but also yes I am very much trying to kill her spirit of curiousity stop touching trash damnit

The maximum amount of time anyone should spend being disappointed that the new Smurf’s movie doesn’t represent Marxism is 3 seconds. www.theguardian.com/film/2025/ju...

‘The inadequate provision of aid to civilians on terrain that is, in effect, under occupation is a war crime. A plan by hardliners in Israel’s government to corral Gazans into a permanent “humanitarian city” would amount to ethnic cleansing.’

Today is Friday, July 25. Good morning ❤️ eat take your meds hydrate tell your people you love them let them love you back We are here. This is real. Let's build a home for each other and fight like hell.

as a music major turned English major who couldn't think of anything to do but go to law school, that's hilarious

I’m not a heavy metal fan and I have no feelings toward #OzzyOsbourne the musician, but I love the story that a rock and roll star suffering from Parkinson’s gave one of the best performances of his career and then shuffled off this mortal coil. Love to his family and fans.

If elute US educational institutions are going to fall on their swords for Trump, I hope that leads to opportunities for lesser renowned universities to pick up the mantle.

So sorry to all the upcoming high school seniors who had dreams of Columbia.

This tiny body, wrapped in a burial shroud no bigger than a pillow case, was killed by both my govts. The Israeli one chose to starve him, his mother, father, siblings, cousins, grandparents, neighbors, & the morgue worker who wrapped him in the shroud. My US govt enabled it. His name was Youssef.

Protect trans kids, protect immigrant kids.

🚨BREAKING: The last journalists working for AFP in Gaza have said they can no longer work for the news agency. They are out of energy and they are starving to death. I have never seen a statement from a news organisation like it. 🧵

We passed that line a while ago; it seems like it doesn’t actually happen until huge numbers of people are feeling personal pain.

I know people are up in arms about “platforming” these “people” and I absolutely see where those folks are coming from, but I also think stuff like this can be a useful thing to show normies who aren’t as chronically online and in the weeds as we all are and who may not know it’s gotten this bad.

Thanks to #MAHA and the further erosion of the healthcare system, I am taking a closer look at what I’m consuming and how my body reacts to it. Staying healthy in a country that profits from your suffering is a lot of work I am not used to.

I will be happy to be wrong, but I would like it if some folks stopped acting like the Epstein story is going to be the thing that brings down Trump. He will never be “brought down”, but his hold on power might very well fracture because he only employs the most incompetent people.

Everything is so, so stupid.

I am getting the impression that mmmmaaayyybeeee all the talk about #EpsteinFiles isn’t about safeguarding women and young girls from sex traffickers. Hmmm

You’ve been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who’s coming to save you? (Aaaaaccchhh, I hasnae a wee chance)

Wow. Finally just saying it out loud — if you help Israel enough militarily, people like this don’t care about how much you’re antisemitic Really, we’re looking at a system of antisemitism credits or “indulgences” people.

The Bill Kristol plot line is the only good thing about 2025

This was our first time taking our little girl out to see fireworks. This world is dark, but if you get the opportunity to watch a toddler watch fireworks… that kind of joy is worth getting out for. 🥰

Not feeling particularly proud of America, but I am proud of all the Americans who refuse to let tyranny crush them. Grab joy and rest where you can.

I’ve fallen into another true crime rabbit hole. Almost every serial killer in the UK and the US from the 1960s to the 90s is a man with a long list of violent sexual offences against women and children that authorities passed over. Yeesh.

Word for word the same argument that got us into the Iraq War: "Look how bad this country is"

there is a saying in India used to mock bald men "the razor was too good" the implication is it was so sharp it also sliced off the brain with the hair and this guy is proof it was based on real world evidence

Oh fuck, I am that old now.

One way or another, this will likely come back to haunt Trump, which fine, but also the whole country, which is terrible www.nytimes.com/live/2025/06...

Well… at least Trump and Elon are still ugly divorcing.

Full disclosure: Robert Kagan surprised me. www.theatlantic.com/internationa...

Once more with feeling

Where my BRICS at?

Be good to your Iranian friends and neighbours.

Oh ok, I guess “we” are in it now.

Who does Trump mean by “we”?
