Lawmakers scrambling around tonight trying to draft up legislation to ban DeepSeek by the end of the week despite the fact that the damage has been done. With any hope, the wound dealt to capitalism will get infected, and spread.

Don't make excuses for billionaires. It's that easy.

Thanks to Elon Musk and Donald Trump, Republicans cut $190 million for pediatric cancer research from the funding bill. Congrats to DOGE on their first victory.

Just a reminder that Amazon workers are striking tomorrow through Monday, and that none of the “deals” are good enough to justify crossing the picket line.

Feels like one week ago commentators were saying that we need to move past having election post-mortems, but they just spent this last week having election post-mortems. If next week continues the streak, I'm going to be in need of a sturdy rafter.

Mostly enjoying BlueSky, but the developers may hate left-handers. Scrolling down my feed having a grand old time, and then I hit that stupid arrow that jettisons me back to the top. Discrimination.

4 month-old sleep regression is real, and it's terrifying.

I can't wait to explain to every single member of my extended family on multiple occasions why Medicare Advantage is different and worse than Medicare.

I dare Cenk to take that commentary to E. Jean Carroll and see how she takes it.

By my count, there's four members of the incoming Trump administration accused of rape or sexual assault - Trump himself, Peter Hegseth, Matt Gaetz, and RFK Jr (all of whom, with the exception of RFK Jr. have denied the allegations against them). Who am I missing?

Miss me with this conflation of literal Nazis and protestors calling you out for your Zionist stance on Israel after receiving a sizeable donation from AIPAC. It's been over a year, if you're not acknowledging a genocide is taking place you are complicit.

Y'all, I miss George Santos. I miss my shady bitch.

Went to the @dsacincy.org general meeting today. There's a real feeling of motivation in the air. It's time to mobilize and help people.

There is no deeper shame than the silent stare from your 4 month-old as you wake up in the middle of feeding them from a bottle that's nowhere near their mouth.

People in my orbit genuinely excited that RFK Jr. Will be heading the HHS, and I just don't have the heart to tell them that measles and polio are about to have their best year ever.

Ramaswamy, co-chair of the “government efficiency” department, calls for eliminating veterans’ medical care - the largest program with expired authorization

Fine. I'll try this again.

I'mma make myself unelectable, Jack!

In an effort to justify retaining this app, I'm just going to create a🧵 of moments that mattered to me during 2024. Take that, suicidal ideation.

I come back to you now, at the turn of the tide.

FOP President Dan Hils, a real piece of shit, when asked about planned pro-Palestine protests happening in Cincy: "Terrorist organizations want us to be afraid.  We need to be aware but should not let them change our lives because of their threats."

Working in local news seeing reporting of the Israel/ Palestine conflict being reported on without historical context has been very frustrating. The IDF feeds us our lines, and we recite them wholly uncritically. Not even an attempt to inject local Palestinian voices into our newscast. Embarrassing.

Unless zombies feel overwhelming anxiety and depression, I suspect I may still be me, unfortunately.

I've gotten the vaccine like four times. If I don't become a zombie today, I'm going to be mega pissed.

Imagine being so pathetic that Matt fucking Gaetz of all people can successfully run a campaign against you.

BREAKING: Disney VFX workers have voted unanimously to unionize with IATSE. They become the second ever VFX team to form a union. Marvel workers won their union just last month.

Asinine decision to make during one of the largest labor movements the US has seen in decades. Show solidarity with workers, or get the fuck out of the way because we're done waiting for you to grow up.
