I hear *someone* is having a sale next week. I guess they have to try and recoup some of that $2.5 billion they’re forking over for *checks notes* being deceptive? Who would’ve thought? Feels like Oct 7 & 8 will be prime days to support independent bookstores. 😌

there is no fear in America that informs policy so profoundly as the terror that we might accidentally afford someone human rights or dignity without first determining that they have earned those things; and, by extension, the idea that those things must be earned.

More people work at Arby’s than at the entire American coal industry

Why even have a congress

Only an administration intent on committing war crimes in the present and future would stoop to calling Wounded Knee a "battle" rather than what it truly was: a massacre of over 250 Lakotas, mainly women, children, and the elderly. 1/

Motion to change the name to the Indiana Healthy next year, for science

Good luck saving the Queen of England from a targeted assassination involving an unwitting baseball player now.

i think america would be a better place if everyone just stopped paying attention to politico til they went out of business. there’s no “autism problem” just like there’s no “trans debate.” both of those things are eugenics. both questions are really “should these subhumans be allowed to exist?”

I love _The New Yorker_'s style. If you want to ask me to pass you the magazine I'm reading, you should say "Can I have the _The New Yorker_?" but the NYT is the "New York _Times_."

Person in a local community chat: Anyone do side CSS work? Me, to myself: Not to brag, but yeah. Everything I do with CSS ends up to the side...usually the wrong side.

if we get a democratic president and congress, i really hope they zero out ice because i don’t know how it ever evolves from being a brown-shirt brigade.

Whatever you do, please don’t stop reading. Read for joy. Read for education. Read for resistance. Read banned books. Read books by marginalized authors. Read about experiences that differ from your own. Just. Keep. Reading.

Defending trans people is obviously morally just and ethical. Beyond that it just is tactically the correct thing to do because the GOP is going to say the same thing about Dems no matter what and either you can respond with 'well my opponent has some points' or 'look at this hateful shit'

Hey Siri, show me a user experience change made by someone who doesn't actually use the product.

i really hope it sticks now for any lost young buckaroos who find something interesting about a libertarian trot or similar way: these people have been fakin it the whole time. none of them actually care about free speech. they are either: 1 embarrassed conservatives or 2 dummies

This week I wrote about Open Source, and how we could use those principles to power more than software or commercial products: We could use it to power our own revolution. www.leahreich.com/open-source-...

Anyway, now we know what the FCC thinks is in the public interest: Fox host advocating for executing homeless people? Yes ABC comic suggesting Trumpers are using a death cynically? No

just eat the bay leaf. nothing matters.

Bob Iger is a fucking coward. That is all.

ABC Is Doing Cancel Culture the Right Way by Ezra Klein

Trying to drag my 11yo through their homework is going to be a leading factor in my eventual mental breakdown.

Incredible achievement that the one price that the Trump administration has brought down notably is "cocaine."

A good example of why you should take the time to write things out. A note from my doctor said "fatty liver on us" and I thought "um, thanks for the freebie, but I don't think you did anything." And then I realized "us" meant "ultrasound".

Planning ahead is the most important part of code of conduct enforcement A pre-defined code of conduct enforcement process doesn't make the work easy, but it reduces the strain and increases fairness.

Calling peoples' employers in a rage because their tributes to Robert Redford weren't horny enough

If there was anything that convinced me of the unseriousness of libertarianism, it was libertarians themselves. All the internal consistency and deep thinking of your average high school freshman.

Do not put your name on a website to register for a rally in this political climate. What the fuck's wrong with y'all. Are there any people of color that work at this org who might knock some sense into your peach colored heads.

been very hard to watch a bunch of 50-year-old podcasters come to terms with having a job.

Google is taking a page out of the Robert Moses playbook: ask for less than you need and when you have to come ask for more say "you don't want this partially-done project to just sit here empty, do you?"

Ugh, I'm going to have to do a thing where I say nice stuff about myself. Gross.

Whether it’s Barack Obama giving the eulogy at his former political rival’s funeral, or it’s JD Vance threatening to imprison anyone who doesn’t nominate Charlie Kirk for sainthood, both sides have had debatable responses to key Republican deaths.
