TIMELINE: ok i hear what you're saying. but what if things got dumber

Anywho, as I tell the young people in my life whom I love deeply, this is your time to create beautiful works of art, to throw the most fun parties you can for no money, and to fight like hell for a future worthy of you. This is NOT a time to retreat into yourself and to forgo the world.

CBS. PBS. ABC.

The fall is happening everywhere. This is why our voices and our work on social media matter so much, and why you should not listen to those who downplay its power.

With institutions falling, the grassroots needs to stand up and take over at a rapid pace. In media and beyond.

The #1 way to explain America working properly is by saying “comedians can make fun of he President on TV.” A good way to explain fascism is “the President forces companies to fire those comedians as a condition of allowing them to conduct business.”

Thank you! ❤️

Thank you, that is really kind of you to say ❤️

Stephen fuckin Colbert has so much goddamn integrity. ❤️

I have been away from the news and social media for like 2 weeks so I'm just catching up on stuff, but wow is Colbert going to have FUN in the next 8 months and I for one gratefully salute him 🫡

The better you are at a thing, the more "AI" will be a drag on your time, because it's operating at a lower level of skill than you are, and you have to fix what it does, rather than just do what you already know how to do.

I've said this before, but: when I was researching my (allegedly) dystopian third novel, I looked at what the government might do to silence dissent. A lawyer friend said, "With a sympathetic judiciary, anything is possible."

Here’s how a Supreme Court justice impeachment works Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) on Wednesday introduced articles of impeachment against conservative Supreme Court Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito. The New York lawmaker …

Just sharing this for no particular reason

Since April 4, #SCOTUS has issued 15 rulings on 17 emergency applications filed by Trump (three birthright citizenship apps were consolidated).

It has granted relief to Trump ... in all 15 rulings.

It has written majority opinions in only 3.

Today's order is the 7th with no explanation *at all.*

This is why, if anyone who isn't chronically online starts talking about genAI positively to me in person, I channel a Godzilla ray of facts about what it is and what it does and how it's destroying the planet, and I don't care how taken aback they are.

I heard about that! Given the DC connection, it could be--who knows.

Thanks--it seems more severe than this describes, but maybe it's a ripple effect...?

Yeah, something is happening...

Maybe! It isn't that hot here though...?

Is... something going on at DCA/Logan? My husband's flight got cancelled, he rebooked, that immediately got cancelled, and it looks like no other flights leaving today?

Camberville area friends, if you have extra clothes you don't need (esp plus sizes), this is a great place to donate them!

100%. This has been one of the most powerful lessons I've ever learned.

my god daughter snuck behind a bush to smoke weed without anyone seeing and just lol lmao nailed it not suspicious at all

Why People Vote Against Redistributive Policies That Would Benefit Them New explanations from economics research.

"Even when shown pessimistic information about mobility, right-wing respondents do not want to support more redistribution policies, because they see the government as a 'problem' and not as the 'solution.'"

Save this schedule folks. Pre-RFK jr vax schedule.

Repost and pass it on to others.

I'm sorry, I see how that feels gross. (I don't run the website, just to be clear.) The goal is to spread this info widely and they ran it in a full page ad in many papers yesterday for wide reach. So I'm sure they won't mind if you close the popup without donating--hope it won't deter you.

So Shines A Good Deed In A Weary World Dark isn't the opposite of light, it's the absence of light.

"The reason people of evil try to smother any point of light is because they know that in a field of darkness, light becomes something undeniable and unignorable; a point of reference and a point of distinction. Dark needs perfect darkness to be perfectly dark.
So I ask myself: what light can I be?"

I really like this piece by A.R. Moxon, and actually every other piece of Moxon's I've read. Thoughtful and compassionate and human and humane and somehow I feel better after reading it, despite everything in the world today.

It was my honor to work with distinguished lawyer colleagues on this statement of commitment to the principles that must undergird American democracy. It appears today as full page ad in the @nytimes.com & in papers around the country.
