What better way to show the world that you deserved a Nobel Peace Prize than ... *checks notes* uhhhh, spitefully invading Greenland.
He should have been in prison after January 6th. This is what happens when you fail to hold people in power accountable. Everything we're seeing is the act of a despot who realizes he will never face consequences for destroying democracy.
The President of the United States unilaterally levied a tax on all of us and is redistributing our taxes to a core segment of his supporters.
Trump: "I'm delighted to announce this afternoon that the US will be taking a small portion of the hundreds of billions of dollars we receive in tariffs ... and we're going to be giving and providing it to the farmers in economic assistance. We love our farmers. The farmers like me ... $12 billion"
I just don’t see how we can pretend even for a moment that anything involving our federal government is remotely normal when the president is covering up his involvement in a child sex trafficking ring. Like, what are we doing here
The most powerful people in this country are defending child rapists. Not victims. Not survivors. Rapists. This is America in 2025.
I was at this show and I am definitely one of the blurry little dots in the background and that makes me very happy.

Okay, we'll that was longer than I meant to go before trying these but anyway: round 1 of cardamom kouign amann inspired by @everywhereist.bsky.social comment in this interview. Not my best pastry work on these but happy with the first test of the flavor.
I talked to the brilliant @everywhereist.bsky.social about her book, the meaning of Red Lobster, the relationships between reader and writer, her favorite snacks + more. Stay for the postscript, in which she sends me the one of the worst candies I've ever tasted. snackstack.net/2025/01/19/c...
When journalism was cool. And risked everything to challenge power.
Yeah, so when one side is like, "Maybe unfettered access to guns is bad and school shootings need to be stopped and trans people deserve to exist" and the other side is like "Fuck you" this isn't a "both sides are valid" type of world anymore.

Attention young people: please, while you are still young, do yourselves a favor and eat all of the dairy and fried food that your body can handle. Because north of 40 you will literally be in physical pain when you try and eat these things. Also register to vote. That's important, too.
Yes. I also felt this way about the assassinations in Minnesota. In fact, I continue to feel this way about the assassinations in Minnesota.
Feel like one political party kidnapping an opponent should be bigger news
The fact that I read we might have radioactive shrimp and I'm like, "Yeah, that tracks" tells you everything you need to know about this timeline
The FDA warns public not to eat, sell or serve certain Great Value raw frozen shrimp sold at Walmart due to possible contamination a radioactive isotope

I own If You Can't Take the Heat by @everywhereist.bsky.social, but haven't read it yet. Every post I've seen about the book has been positive. Plus, Geraldine is the author of www.everywhereist.com and is a great follow on socials. www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/720922...
If this shit were happening in another country with America's wealth and resources, we would have invaded by now.
7 years later and I still whisper, “We’re disabled, Daniel, not werewolves” to myself like a sacred mantra whenever I see a non-disabled person discover ableism like it’s the latest hipster indie band.
When a network lays off one of America’s greatest satirists, it’s not because he failed. It’s because he succeeded too loudly.
I keep seeing people say things like, “Well we’re not going to HAVE elections,” and with all due respect, I think this is both wildly pessimistic and also wildly naive. We are not going to have free and fair elections. We also have not had them in the past.
I just need one reporter to bait him by saying he's not famous enough to be in the Epstein files and I swear he'll confess.
Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

[worst possible stuff happening everywhere] man why do I feel bad
Can someone more well versed than me in EU261 confirm that the representative from American Airlines is straight up lying to me here? They're saying she's entitled to only $600, but earlier in the email they confirm she's entitled to 75% of the value of her downgraded ticket.
RIP to Brian Wilson, who gave us many perfect albums but also the perfect interview
