Congratulations Abdul!!!! I can’t believe I know a Democratic nominee for Senate! Or that this picture was 11 years ago. The idea of Abdul being in the Senate advocating for public health and access to health care, especially at a time when RFKJ is in charge at HHS, is incredible to contemplate.

Kathleen Bachynski@bachynski.bsky.social · last mo.

I don’t exactly have the power of an AOC endorsement, but I’ve known Abdul for quite some time and I would be thrilled to see him represent public health in the Senate. He was our class speaker when I graduated from undergrad (Go Blue!) and then I got to know him better when were both at Columbia.

Nor do we want to be on Truth Social. I would hate to find a welcome home there. I would hate to be somebody who would be palatable to such a place. We don't go on Truth, because nobody needs bullies. They *do* try to come on Bluesky, because bullies need the rest of us.

The burden is always on us lefties to welcome them, debate them, compromise with them, find middle ground, and generally make them comfortable. It’s totally one directional. No one is calling for Truth Social to make any room for us.

The irony of this is that what should be happening is the complete opposite: degrees that don't make enough should have their student loans forgiven. Yeah I said it. Go to law school and study corporate finance law? Pay back your loan. Go to grad school and study social work? Pay back nothing!

The New Republic@newrepublic.com · 3d ago

President Trump is banning students majoring in degrees that don’t make enough money from taking out college loans. Degrees for social work, art, religious studies, teaching aides, and music will be hit the hardest. trib.al/aaAEu6v

It's common knowledge that one of the most dangerous times for a woman is after she leaves an abusive man. It's terrifying to then, with shared custody, let that man have access to your child. Knowing his anger and violence issues, you will do almost anything to try to keep him calm and happy.

Things I and friends have done to calm an angry abusive man from further escalating and killing us or our children: -Smiled -Kept normal schedules in order not to trigger a fight -Appeased with kind acts (cooking, cleaning, favors) -Forced friendly tones and words

Rep. Max Miller: "My former wife has claimed that during a custody exchange at my home that day, I assaulted her…If I had assaulted her, would she have offered to cook me dinner six days later?"

Pete Bachman (he/him)@petebachman.bsky.social · 3d ago

While I’m generally against a diagnosis of asshole being considered a psychotherapy matter, I’m generally in favor of politicians acknowledging what’s obviously true - Miller’s unfit for office, parenthood, marriage, being around other humans ….

senator bernie moreno finally makes a statement about the allegations of abuse by rep. max miller against his daughter and granddaughter after miller went live on X this morning to deny everything.

No one would ever, ever, demand that a man be grateful and quiet after selling any number of books because of an unsolicited shout-out, and Wilson is right in this interview with the brilliant @katekilla.bsky.social to not even engage that argument.

Question One of the things people are saying on social media about your review is that you ought to be grateful that Nolan mentioned your translation, that it probably helped your book sales. Answer: Oh my gosh. I mean, that was very predictable that people would say that, right? I mean that is sadly not a surprising reaction. I don't know that I have to say very much about it because ... yeah, there it is again.

I talked with @emilyrcwilson.bsky.social for the @bostonglobe.com. I don't think she loves all the attention online, but she's definitely tough enough to handle it all. www.bostonglobe.com/2026/07/31/a...

Let’s be clear here, when scientists say mistakes were made at the start of the pandemic, we DO NOT mean that we did too much. We mean not socially distancing quickly enough, not making tests widely available, and not acknowledging COVID is airborne and distributing N95 masks to everyone.

bought candy at the pool for a 13yo and she tried to give me cash. i was like nahh it's nbd, and she goes "girl i have seen your car." 13yo girls remain undefeated. you think you're talking to a child but you're actually talking to whatever gods used to send to punish mortals for their hubris

Wait wait wait wait wait … if you’re putting Earth, Wind & Fire, and Luther Vandross, and Chaka Kahn on this list, then, Mr. President, you damn well know The Rubberband Man by The Spinners. I don’t know what this Mumford and Hozier rubber band man song is, but I think this tent’s too big. Yikes.

Here are some of the songs I've been listening to this summer. It starts with a song Michelle and I love by Glen Hansard, a great musician who passed tragically this week. Our hearts go out to his family.

Pete Bachman (he/him)@petebachman.bsky.social · 6d ago

I can never stay mad at Barack Obama. I’ll be walking around thinking about the apparently inexorable creep of executive power and then he’ll be like, “Sam & Dave,” and I’m like, “damn it … fine, turn it up.”
