American sports rivalries are nice and all, but India is about to play Pakistan in a world cup cricket match and the loser is probably going to try and start a war with the winner for the next 3 days so there's that

There is no Saturday for you. Go write your book

Don't be a fan of politicians. Don't. Do. Not.

Be ready to turn on them if they even think of stepping out of line. You know how corporations aren't our friend? Well, voters aren't THEIR friends.

We are angry, feral, and tired.

Oh you "wrote" a book that's cute where's my fucking health care

It's December.
This is hard; I'd curtailed my GoFundMe so much from anxiety, I'd not realized I'd miscalculated the GoFundMe by $365.
I'd thought I'd be able to handle it the past few weeks.
I'm reopening the GoFundMe to rectifying the error, and swallow my embarrassment.

My cousin who had a cancer scare in Trinidad, seems to be in the clear for now, by the way.

I was INVESTED in this story.

How Hollywood horror’s ‘killer wolf’ trope is sabotaging rewilding efforts Our natural landscapes need wolves. And right now, wolves need all the good PR they can get.

Wolves need a good PR campaign. While I appreciated the metaphor in the recent Frankenstein movie, I did roll my eyes pretty hard at the wolf scenes.

This Pluribus ad on a fridge caused a schizophrenic woman named Carol to be hospitalized.

this feels like another iteration of the "what if I give a homeless man money and he buys booze" thing. So then he bought booze, so what, you are not his personal life coach. You did your bit now go live your life.

Authoritarianism hurts all of us.

But don't forget: Venezuela is not waging war on America or Americans, and the men killed were not combatants.

The first strike was every bit as illegal as the second.

Remember: Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or sought better lives for themselves and their descendants.

Politicians who stoke fear and hatred over immigration want you to forget this.

Do not.

Reminder that Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024.

This was the widest CEO-to-Worker pay gap in the entire S&P 500.

And we're supposed to believe Starbucks can't afford to bargain a fair contract with its unionized workers?

Anyway. We are paying like hell for our car culture. Insurance, cars, car maintenance, road upkeep, the incessant road widening which SHOULD NEVER EVER HAPPEN AGAIN.

I do not want it. I want trains and public transit. I would GLADLY get rid of cars.

But here we are.

Sunday thought The rot at the top

Most average working Americans abide by laws and norms. Most are kind and decent. But there is growing rot at the top of our system. And its stench can no longer be ignored. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/sunday-thought-732

If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?
