It's just insane the degree to which the federal government has simply declared war on a U.S. state. A punitive war with no discernible objective other than to immiserate its people. bsky.app/profile/apne...

Thinking and wondering and questioning over job skill training. Forever. My god.

(3) But the Democrat view is also bad: while it's fine for people at Princeton and Harvard to study Latin and Sanskrit, public higher education is about job training and $ ROI. There is no room for the idea that curiosity-driven inquiry is a good that should be supported by the public.

Joanne Freeman says, write it down. Write what you do, how you feel. The diaries of today will be the stones that the next resistance stand on.

What's the plan, Chuck? I run a fake news website. You're the Senate Minority Leader. What's the plan?

Seven democrats and every republican voted to fund this… YESTERDAY

genuinely stunning image

The story that the ecru saw... was this "kinda" zany ... "Kinda" quirky jaunt about revolutionaries sticking it to "the man"

The story that Black people saw was emblematic of that fetishized space the Black body happens to exist within the white consciousness

Grateful to you for expressing this. You, the absolute best reason for the internet.

(The play is Antigone (one girl takes on laws of men, for justice is love) translated by poet, essayist, scholar Anne Carson) I’m not usually a classics person, but feeling directly connected to those who have leaned into this play in political crisis for…thousands? of years is massive to behold. )

Rehearsing theatre production with university students in Saint Paul, MN right now. Sharing space and working w/for developing artists who are keenly aware of creating something for this moment, their moment, their place.

Pouring into the world what we can give.

It doesn't actually matter if Chuck Schumer votes for this or not.

If he can't keep his caucus unified to protect healthcare for over 10 million Americans, he should resign as leader.

Thank you, Senator! I tried calling tonight to share my contempt for any bill that ignores health care tax credits or which kicks the can down the road with a sketchy promise. Your vm is full.

Holy crap

Organist w “Neverending Story” in the 18th. Organists forever!

I know I shouldn’t and can’t expect more from the Fox broadcast booth. But stop talking about Kirk’s body. How about how he PLAYS. And not how he plays despite his body. It’s lazy, cheap, mean, and uninteresting.

No Kings always has me singing “No Cats in America.” Have we discussed this? Or am I the only one dreaming of the streets lined w cheese?

Procuring non-Bezos whistles…

And he didn’t have great range as a shortstop…

Sing it, Papi!

And when ordering from usps there is so much additional packaging. It’s so useless and gross. USPS can’t make money but then they are wrapping sheets of stamps 27 times! And the WASTE. I’m still grieving gummed/need to lick them stamps.

They are KILLING IT with these campaign ads.

OF THE FATE of unrequited love! Oh man, for the edit button.

It was inevitable; the scent of bitter almonds always reminded him of unrequited love. Congress has not authorized the use of military force.

NESN needs to secure Lou Merloni as color analyst. He’s great. He’s ours. He gets it and us. He even manages to make O’Brien more tolerable. A great part of this turn-it-around season. Framingham Kid FTW! Red Sox postseason, here we go!

My bran autocorrected it to Poland. I thought the troops must be about Ukraine?

Bc how could the president be sending his department of war to Portland. My brain couldn’t even let me read it that way.

Every single thing is more dumb and terrible and hateful than the last.

…two hours for pancakes?…

There are very real things wrong w the worlds but watching a game w playoff implications as natl broadcast is annoying enough. But Apple has no score box on the screen? The count? The score? Pitch count?! But rbi probability?!?! Losing my mind.

Josh sass forever.

All the people who will miss so much of the match?!
