You did such an amazing job!! It was a delight to watch. I can't wait to see more on Sunday (and hopefully even more after that)!

We're not running out of ideas. We're in late stage capitalism and just trying to survive while everything is measured against how it can perform for the shareholders.

Oh gosh, Shallan is actually my favorite character in the cosmere 😅 she's witty and tragic and messy and artistic and morally complex and I just adore her.

But you're going to eat very well in books 4 & 5 as a fan of Navani and Adolin, I'll say that much.

Personally I struggled with the first half of book 1 (though now I love it), adored book 2, book 3 DRAGGED (I am not a Dalinar fan), adored book 4, and very much enjoyed book 5 even if it's much weaker than the rest in retrospect.

“It's both possible, and even necessary, to simultaneously enjoy media while also being critical of its more problematic or pernicious aspects" was such a simple message that was so thoroughly and viciously rejected, but i think many of you still need to learn it

Now that they aren't offering the sourdough breadbowls anymore I have literally no reason to ever order from them again.

The whole point of a demonitized video is that YouTube is saying the content controversial enough or risqué enough that advertisers won't want to be attached to it. If YouTube is running ads on demonitized videos - videos THEY CLAIM advertisers won't want to be attached to - their point seems moot.

He spends the majority of the time trying to take accountability through action - by giving his honest (and extremely scathing) opinion of the company and product. Whether you think it's genuine or enough or whatever, the 25 minutes are not an over-extended apology.

How did America normalize having AT LEAST 100,000 COVID INFECTIONS PER DAY at any time of the year?

Each infection raises the risk of long covid, chronic disease, and negative economic consequences.

tweet from user @starplatinumSOL with a pair of pictures, one of a group of NFTS with "image not found", the other being an earlier tweet advertising "CloneX #4594 by @RTFKTstudiosjust sold for 450 ETH ($1.25 MILLION!)" with a picture of a shitty cgi guy with an octopus hat. Tweet reads "Today the community found out the entire Clone X collection has no art All images are blocked by Cloudflare Even holders who spent millions can’t see their NFTs anymore Pure disappointment (9/9)"

NFTs from a couple of years ago are starting to succumb to link rot.

Someday the final server holding the last NFT image will go under, then truly all my apes will be gone

“If you’re buying Rowling’s works, then you’re putting money into the fight against trans people. If you’re sharing things about her fictional worlds, you’re telling your trans friends that they can’t trust you […] and giving her words more weight to speak out on political actions.”

I may be tired and a little hoarse, but as I said again and again on the Senate floor, this is a moment where we cannot afford to be silent, when we must speak up.

Whoa. Kirkus thinks The Fifth Season is one of the best books of the 21st Century so far, and TWO of my books are in Stacker's 100 best! www.kirkusreviews.com/fiction/best...

Cory Booker just gave the longest speech in the history of Congress and concluded by apologizing to everyone who had to stay up all night keeping the chamber open and operating.

You really Geminislayed hosting the pre-show! It was such a treat to watch. Can't wait to hear more about the trip!

I’m the Canadian who was detained by Ice for two weeks. It felt like I had been kidnapped I was stuck in a freezing cell without explanation despite eventually having lawyers and media attention. Yet, compared with others, I was lucky

powerful detailed account of ICE captivity

"To put things into perspective: I had a Canadian passport, lawyers, resources, media attention, friends, family and even politicians advocating for me...Imagine what this system is like for every other person in there"

🚨 Everyone needs to call their Dem Senator right now. They are starting to cave.

Tell them:
1. Vote NO on Cloture
AND
2. Vote NO on the Republican spending bill.

Don’t let them pivot to reconciliation. GOP doesn’t need Dem votes on that and they know it.

TODAY is the showdown.

One of my companies informed me they cancelled a $2m conference in Florida. Why ?

They didn’t feel they could pass on the incremental cost of tariffs. So they are cutting expenses.

That’s a city that lost a ton of tourism revenue.

The cost of tariffs isn’t just the cost of the tariff

I think it's important to remember, with everything extremely fucked up and dumb right now, that at the root of it, fuck fuck fucking fucking fuck.

Senate Dems Show Spine, And National Sports Ban Bill Dies The failed legislation reflects a wider effort to disallow trans women (or anyone suspected of being a trans woman) from women’s sports and spaces.

1. Today, Senate Democrats showed spine, and killed a national transgender sports ban bill via filibuster.

Not a SINGLE Democrat voted for cloture.

S. Baum writes about what happened today, including some of the speeches.

Excerpt from a public letter Roald Dahl wrote encouraging people to vaccinate their children. Olivia, my eldest daughter, caught measles when she was seven years old. As the illness took its usual course I can remember reading to her often in bed and not feeling particularly alarmed about it. Then one morning, when she was well on the road to recovery, I was sitting on her bed showing her how to fashion little animals out of coloured pipe-cleaners, and when it came to her turn to make one herself, I noticed that her fingers and her mind were not working together and she couldn’t do anything. “Are you feeling all right?” I asked her. “I feel all sleepy,” she said. In an hour, she was unconscious. In twelve hours she was dead. The measles had turned into a terrible thing called measles encephalitis and there was nothing the doctors could do to save her. That was twenty-four years ago in 1962, but even now, if a child with measles happens to develop the same deadly reaction from measles as Olivia did, there would still be nothing the doctors could do to help her. On the other hand, there is today something that parents can do to make sure that this sort of tragedy does not happen to a child of theirs. They can insist that their child is immunized against measles. I was unable to do that for Olivia in 1962 because in those days a reliable measles vaccine had not been discovered. Today a good and safe vaccine is available to every family and all you have to do is to ask your doctor to administer it.

The measles outbreak in Texas is reminding me of the public letter Roald Dahl wrote about losing his daughter to measles in 1962, just before the vaccine was publicly available.

I spoke last night about the need for “wedges.” Between Trump and Musk. Between Trump and congressional Republicans.

Yesterday Trump had to walk back from his implication that he might not follow judicial orders b/c prominent Republican Senators were pissed. Every wedge is an opportunity.

Keep calling your Republican Senators and Reps.
