everyone has that one friend who launches a new gofundme every year

it's hard to weigh against the 1M body count we can attribute to W—it seems ridiculous to say as much—but at the very least the evisceration of state capacity (in which, it's bizarre to say, the greatest retrenchment of healthcare benefits in US history is only a small part) is singular

Made it to Act 2 of Silksong without beating the Act 1 boss, apparently. It's really fun to bop around the Citadel now that I'm better at moving around. Reaper crest makes pogoing extremely easy

Airline idea: an coach-minus class in which the flight attendants are allowed to spit on you but tickets cost $40 less

Last year I got into Wikipedia editing a little bit and it's an insane (compliment) community — people really, really take quality, unbiased editing seriously.

One thing TikTok has been very good at is demonstrating that a lot of absolutely insane people don't sound crazy and live otherwise "normal" lives

I had never read this interview with Fran before. It’s about restaurants, but it’s also about—though it took place years ago—this campaign, and what we’re fighting for, and why we’re doing it. www.meal-magazine.com/meal-digital...

Good morning. Sunday morning.

I hung out with this Canadian academic last night, an older gentleman who wrote a book abt the history of Canadian healthcare. when I mentioned how many people I knew got married—or stayed together when they didn’t want to—because of insurance, he was speechless. USA #1 baby

Fran and I hosted about a dozen Medicaid town halls earlier this year, and I learned she's the real deal. For the past couple of months I've been helping with her gubernatorial campaign prep — I believe she is *the* left/progressive candidate for Wisconsin. Let's talk about policy:

"you're throwing up blood" man I am throwing up lots of stuff don't worry about it

Looking for suggestions for a portable (not battery-powered) PA! Gonna need to lug it around and give some talks from it.

There’s a guy on this Amtrak who’s drunk as hell and is just… speaking in movie quotes from the 2000s. I heard a Borat and an Anchorman. I had no idea guys like this still existed. I thought they all like drowned or got lost or something
