Scary rhetoric about a majority of waiver spending being fraud. Waivers are essential to many people's lives, my kid included. We JUST got our waiver after a YEAR of applications, waitlists, and intake meetings. Those being defrauded are people with disabilities. Do not end programs, end fraud.

The Disney–OpenAI deal marks the end of an era, and I still can’t wrap my head around how casually Disney sold its 100-year-old reputation.

it's taken me a while to put this together. but I hope, if you've never heard of her, or even if you have, this tribute to Alice Wong buoys your heart and gives you a good sense of who this incredible person was. www.coyotemedia.org/remembering-...

I would like to say unspeakable to things

Rob Reiner was a good guy. He made a lot of movies about good guys, in worlds where not everyone was good and you didn’t have to be good. He made movies about people trying. He was angry, as many hopeful people are. He knew the world could be better and he wanted it to be. His death is devastating.

HBOMAX - Spinal Tap, Spinal Tap II, Albert Brooks: Defending My Life NETFLIX - Stand By Me HULU/DISNEY+ - The Princess Bride PARAMOUNT+ - When Harry Met Sally PRIME - And So it Goes, Shock and Awe ROKU - North HOOPLA - Alex & Emma, Rumor Has It..., The Magic of Belle Isle, LBJ, God & Country

I have cried more this weekend than any other in my life save June 14. It's just an endless cascade of pain and loss and god if it doesn't feel bottomless right now.

Rob Reiner had one of the greatest movie runs in history. Look at these classics. 5 in a row. Doesn't even include This is Spinal Tap. The Sure Thing was between Spinal Tap and Stand By Me, and was a fine movie. Huge talent. And now it's appearing to be a homicide.

Masked men wearing ICE vests—but who refused to present a warrant or identify themselves—roped off a construction site, trapping two men on a roof for hours in subzero temps. Protesters gathered. Masked men eventually left, and one man on the roof was taken away by ambulance kstp.com/kstp-news/to...

I just yelled “THERE WILL BE NO CHRISTMAS” for the first time. But I gentle parented my 7yo so "well," she came back later all “Mom, it made me sad when you said that. I know you were just having trouble controlling your temper. Next time I’ll clean my spill, and you take a breath.” 🫠

I haven't been able to stop crying this weekend. The sheer weight and loss of this moment is dragging me down into the depths of despair. Church today was about finding hope and joy when there seems to be none, but I am struggling to find my way there.

Obama’s weird library thing looks like the cover of a dark academia book.

Every choice you make for your kids has the potential to change the entire course of their lives and I’m just a little guy.

I’m just going to crochet a blanket fast for this new baby… ONE MONTH LATER, a quarter of the way done. I will neber single crochet worsted weight for a blanket again

A man I only see a few times a year greeted me with "So, how are you enjoying Ken Burns' American Revolution?" and I've never felt so seen.

Moment of calm: moon halo over the Washington coast.

Secretary of Defense cannot just lose his job for admitting to war crimes, he needs to go to prison.

it's the guns

Rewatching Wicked and this is such gayer(complimentary) than the musical.

My daughter thinks of Wizard of Oz as Wicked fan fiction and not the other way around.

Cop flies by with lights on. Then my 5yo cheerily calls from the back seat, “He’s going to find a donut truck!”

It's been SEVEN hours and fifteen days

My 5yo commenting on the glitter he spilled all over my husband’s jacket while he’s munching on raw cranberries “Papa, you’re cooked.”

WTF?

Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Edmund Fitzgerald

I saw screenshots this morning of Trump threatening members of Congress with death for this video but I hadn't seen the video. So if, like me, you've been inadequately online this week, this is what Trump thinks is worthy of EXECUTION.

People should be allowed to have a THC seltzer if they want to

I'm happy that Mamdani won. But I won't let that get in the way of my celebrating Cuomo losing.

Trads love the trapping of Catholicland, but hate the rules

My 69yo mother kept saying “our lives are made up of so many little traumas” to me all weekend in this amazed and baffled way as if she was just realizing this for the first time and like lady I’m on year 15 of therapy, I AM AWARE.

Finally leaving Chicago after a 6 hour layover. Plane was stuck in NY. LGA, fucking up my day even when I don’t go there.

I have been stuck in Chicago Midway for 5 hours so far with 2 more to go. This is what God gives me for making fun of the Pope’s love of the White Sox. I’m sorry, Father, for I have sinned.

I want to seeeeeee this.

If this isn't as gritty as The Pitt, I'm going to be disappointed.

You simply cannot have the lesbian flag as your title card and then not have your lesbians kiss! You cannot!

I'm over here packing for a wedding and doing laundry and apparently all of you are having a heart attack while watching basketball.

That smile says "people are going to be giving me, the Vicar of Christ, sports jerseys for the rest of my time on earth, and that is not a problem I thought I would have in my papacy."

I just yelled “THE GENEVA CONVENTION DOES NOT APPLY TO MOTHERS!” 🫠

We’re in 1930s Germany and I’m just living my life going to teacher conferences like I’m in Act 1 of Cabaret.

National Day for Truth and Reconciliation on Sept 30 is in remembrance for the victims of the Canadian Indian residential school system. I'm highlighting nonfiction written by Canadian Indigenous people about their experiences in Canada. #truthandreconciliation #indigenouscanadians #booksky💙📚

What the DFL leadership bodies need is a literal third party consulting org that leads us through mediation, healing, coalition building, and a shared vision process. Tearing each other down in the streets and in the Tweets is harming all of us. We are living through trauma.

the lesson of the kimmel thing is that a corporation that previously caved to trump was forced by its audience to defy him. they're afraid of him but they're more afraid of you.

My kids have been watching the 1992 X-Men cartoon and it's woke as hell; president threatening internment camps, false flag ops to make the mutants look violent, professor explaining scspegoating as a political tactic. Kind of freaky to see how the media has fallen. 1/2

I want to see Chess so bad, I’m going to pay money to see Lea Michele.

I have complicated feelings about Walz running again. On the one hand I feel like he’s the best bet we have to continue the DFL sweep the constitutional offices. And on the other, I have found his budget to be harmful for disabled people both on Medicaid and in schools.

I am experimenting with AI to see how easy it is to dox someone using it and my conclusion is AI is bad at finding someone without social media but I am very good at finding anyone I want. Also your address is on campaign finance filings.

In other news, life on Mars! (Probably. Maybe. Billions of years ago. But still: we are not alone. Necessarily. Look, it’s something, ok? Take what you can get.) www.theguardian.com/science/2025...
