I am begging wealthy people affected by various new taxes to continue posting about the specific ways they are affected by them. Get really detailed about it too. Trust me it’s going to win lots of people over to your side

Ah man, it's Steve Albini's birthday.

Julie’s newsletter is really great. “And miss me with the “Democrats need to consider running anti-trans and anti-choice candidates to appeal to voters in red states” garbage. What good is a party platform if you water it down constantly in hopes of making your candidates more “electable?”

On Democrats, the DSA, and who we label as “zealots.” Some thoughts from the Midwest.

This ultimately got so bad because the cdc stopped tracing several pathogens that aren't usually a major issue BECAUSE WE TRACED THEM. Trump's cdc is the villain of this piece and they're hoping we don't notice.

Smells like campfire out here.

Not pleased that an accomplished author is selling a book here on making audiobooks with AI tools. From the back: "You want your books to be audiobooks but can't justify the money," which apparently means you CAN justify theft and environmental destruction. A better idea: save up and hire a human.

Yep. This. Also, I’m a sucker for the term The Art Life.

lots of new people on my feed because of yesterday's jeremiad... and i feel some duty to give a little bit of a pep talk, because, yeah, i get it, that shit's kinda dire, so buckle up, here's the part where i tell you why it's worth it to deal with all the slings and arrows...

Look, I love Chicago, but sometimes the weather…..

All of these cases are basically litmus tests for any Dem nominee. Are immigrants Americans? Do trans Americans deserve human rights? Are corporations superhumans who get to spend endlessly on elections to put whoever they want into power? These are simple questions with simple answers.

I’m worried the green pool is preventing us from acknowledging the cardboard-looking mini-arch as a lasting symbol of the tacky-ass fake grandiosity of the Trump era

Wow. Big crowds at the the Epstein-Trump memorial festival.

I've said it before but the rise in adult ADHD diagnoses is just because it stopped being socially acceptable to unknowingly self-medicate with cigarettes as a cheap stimulant and fidget toy.

I like this. Go on, let's get a few more: what's your low stakes conspiracy theory?

The claim that "Israel wants to kill its way out of every problem" is the sort of thing that tends to draw a DOJ investigation and the blocking of federal funds when made by campus actors.

Vance blasts Israel’s response to Iran deal: “You're a country of nine million people. You can't just kill your way out of solving every single national security problem that you have.”

The UFC press conference was postponed due to rain and lightening. Thank you Jesus. 😂🤣👇

The Spurs made mistakes in this series that they will not make two years from now

Man, the stop-start sequence Brunson just put on Wemby is insane!

Has a team ever won a title by winning the same exact same game four times?

When the Knicks last won a title, there was no such thing as hip-hop.

I’m just afraid that now I won’t get to hear what religion everyone’s mayor and bagels are anymore.

If you’re a fan of a sports team A good team A bad team A team that can’t get out of their own way A team that seems like god has cursed them Keep being a fan of that team

winds of winter next

Can you Spot the Game Trump attended... 🕵️‍♀️
