I would truly rather you come to my house, knock on my door, and punch me in the face than send me a text that says, "Hey."

Tweet From Obama mentioning my firing from the Washington post. Wirh a photo of me

The last political column I was allowed to write in the @washingtonpost.com was a criticism of Obama.

His people took issue with my piece, but we were respectful.

Now he is tweeting in support of me.

This is how free political speech and respect for debate *actually works*.

Or used to work.

one forgotten reason about why newsom blows ass is that time he vetoed a *unanimous* vote in the legislature that would've capped copays for insulin at $35. stated reason was because CA was going to start making its own insulin.

that veto was in 2023. CA still ain't making its own insulin.

When people ask “why is there famine in Gaza now?”
Here’s why:
•Gaza’s farmland has been bulldozed.
•Fishermen are shot at sea.
•Bakeries are bombed.
•Aid trucks are blocked.
•Water systems destroyed.
•Relief workers assassinated.
This isn’t new, it’s escalated.

Other people have better imposter syndrome than me I bet

I think Democrats should offer voters a broadly defined anti-fraud platform. Yes, obviously, start with Trump’s influence peddling, but don’t stop there. Online fraud is massive, almost every phone call you get is a scam, and the solution has to be federal or it just won’t work.

I’ve always wondered if other nations honor their traitors the way the U.S. does.

We need to teach people the difference between being uncomfortable and being unsafe. Because the discomfort of the safest people is endangering the most vulnerable, all day every day.

"Sex scenes are pointless"

look inside

Actually "Sanitized Hollywood sex scenes are too shallow to meaningfully add to the stories they're in, as a direct consequence of American puritan culture underpinning the way they're made"

if you call and they hang up on you, call back and immediately say you want to escalate to a supervisor because you were just hung up on. you don't even need to say any other details, just that you were hung up on and need to escalate

Visa and Mastercard are taking on substantial damage to their sales quots and support times for this. Don't stop calling.

I’ve taken a dozen screenshots to share from this story by @annamerlan.bsky.social and @kieraevebutler.bsky.social, but I’m sharing this first because I think it exemplifies how much thought they put into explaining a story with a lot of complex information about both law and medicine.

i hate the game politicians play where they back israel 100% until it starts killing too many people too fast, then they start calling for peace until the killing slows to levels acceptable for them. they're not opposing genocide, they're negotiating how quickly it should proceed

Gaza suffering man-made mass starvation, says WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus issues warning, as more than 100 aid groups urge Israel to ease blockade

When Andrew Jackson sent Native Americans on the Trail of Tears, it was a policy choice.

When the British diverted food away from the Irish during The Great Hunger, it was a policy choice.

The starvation & death in Gaza is no different. This is a policy choice & our government is complicit in it.

I feel like we owe Kojima an apology because he’s like “This is my villain, Corrupto Moneyguy. He controls the media and eats children.” As it turns out, this is a nuanced and accurate view of global politics.

Mastercard: Sex Work is Work. End Your Unjust Policy. Mastercard's new policy unfairly targets the adult content industry, making sex workers more vulnerable, especially Black trans women. It must be stopped.

Once again, there is an ACLU petition specifically made to stop Mastercard from unlawfully policing adult content. It’s getting pretty grim for us out there. Please sign and/or spread the word.

Does Superman get time to prepare

they’ve even plowed tens of billions into a man-stealing operation so vast and unaccountable that it makes the fugitive slave act look like a modest and responsible use of federal power

I can't tell if it's because I'm too NYC focused but does it feel like the news cycle spent more time crashing out on the fact that NYC picked a brown Muslim dude as is primary candidate then it did on a right wing extremist who shot 2 Minnesota legislators killing one, her husband and dog?

toomajofficial "Evacuate Tehran" is nothing more than a populist slogan meant to later claim: "We didn't intend to kill Iranian civilians; they just refused to leave the war zone." But how are over 9 million people - without fuel, often without enough savings to relocate, and with no second home in another city - supposed to evacuate Tehran? If your intention is to kill the people of Iran, at least have the honesty not to hide the burden of that responsibility. Your war is not with the people of Iran. If you attack them, you are, in truth, killing hostages. And you know very well that such a crime will plant seeds of hatred that could deprive generations - both ours and yours — of the peace and calm we all long for. No child should become a victim of decisions made by politicians hiding behind the iron walls of their palaces.

Toomaj, the famous Iranian rapper and freedom fighter who has been one of the biggest targets of the Islamic regime, has posted this statement.

Toomaj has been out of prison for the past few years and has sacrificed a great deal fighting for freedom.

Truly insane how much better the world would suddenly get if like a dozen people suddenly died

Oh youre jacking off to the sabrina carpenter sexy dog pic? Boring. Ill instead be jacking off to the album covers of Schubert , and Strauss

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving.

There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later.

They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

Speak up.

Has the fucking thing gotten into orbit?

No, it has not.

They even REDESIGNED Starship, and remember the previous design never made it into orbit either.

No matter how many metrics they try to apply, American taxpayers have spent at least $5 billion for a vehicle that still can't achieve orbit.

These kind of comments can't even get a rise out of me because... prove it? Like, where are all these ChatGPT written novels on the bestseller list or racking up acclaim? Where is the evidence of all these writers claiming to have 10x or 100x writing power already?
