Tells me that you're overthinking it.

Israel bars 37 nonprofits from Gaza, West Bank for not abiding by new guidelines Israel says move won't affect aid; delicensing comes as 10 foreign ministers decry 'renewed deterioration of the humanitarian situation' in Gaza as rain floods tents

Amidst the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Gaza and spiraling settler violence in the West Bank, the Israeli government is barring 37 NGOs from operating in the Occupied Territories.

A Battle with My Blood When I was diagnosed with leukemia, my first thought was that this couldn’t be happening to me, to my family.

Tatiana Schlossberg has passed away at 35. Please read this beautiful essay she published last month. It's one of the best things I've read in a long time.

"If we win this seat in Iowa, Democrats are going to take back the Senate, and if we have full control of Congress, that stops the bleeding...

Zach Wahls, in my humble opinion, is one of the most important candidates in the country right now.

...Donate to his campaign. Please."

One of my favorite things that @zachwahls.bsky.social did was his work on Scouting for Equality.

That work opened doors for many of the folks I volunteer with on a regular basis in scouting.

LGBTQ+ scouts can be found in every council in every state. Zach was a big part of that.

I recommend you read Charlotte’s post & donate through ActBlue in the link!

We Can Win the Senate With This Democrat I have never been more confident.

"It is a remarkable gift to us that Congresswoman Hinson has decided to obliviously tie herself to Trump with more enthusiasm than a violinist on the deck of the Titanic."

I once got to hug Danica Roem. That was pretty cool. <3

Your comment makes no sense.

My take on people wearing face masks is very simple:

It's not my face, so I mind my own business.

That's it. That's the whole take.

My dumb ass: "Oh, wow, it's only $15. Yeah, I'll take one."

That's the infuriating thing: most of these damn products really are that good. You know what I bought last month? A goddamn tiny violin that I can stick in my purse and pull it out during a convo with a friend and press a button to play a sad, mocking melody. And it works. I don't deserve money.

I feel you, friend. I'm just saying: if this only amounts to effectively stalling Trump from further collaborating with Russia to screw over Ukraine, I'll take it.

A huge drawback of social media is the vast improvement of gadgets and various tchotchkes marketed to us in random ads. Ten years ago, it was a fidget spinner. Now, every other ad is for, like, a keychain washer/dryer combo that doubles as a personal assistant. I hate how susceptible I am to this.

Another home run by Charlotte -

"It's 2025, and we're sharing bootlegs of “60 Minutes” segment broadcast in other countries because our own nation is being run by fascists and their billionaire-owned state media helpers"

No, I really don't find it funny, friend, but moreover, it's AI slop. We shouldn't be using this nonsense if we can help it. AI is generally bad. Really bad.

No offense intended, Dan, but please don't post AI slop in my comment section. I'm asking nicely.

Remember, kids: press play on Phil Collins' "In the Air Tonight" at exactly 11:56:20 on New Year's Eve to get that iconic drum fill when the ball drops.

I'm jussayin: it's fine if this is how you want to present to the world on social media. Totally your call. But if I had never interacted with you--like he hasn't--and this profile was trying to dunk on me, I'd block in a second. Not worth my energy, you know? Just a friendly heads up.

You QT'd him--which is definitely inviting people to dogpile, and I think you know that--and called it "the silliest thing I've read in a long time."

C'mon, now. Not to mention, respectfully, everything about your profile screams troll. I know you're not, but it definitely comes across that way.

With what capital? If you wouldn't mind, please lay out the numbers for me. Make the nuts-and-bolts argument for why Europe can be relied upon solely to oppose Russia.

I completely agree with him. You didn't just call it a "silly take." You said: "this is one of the silliest things I've read in a long time."

You are not entitled to his space, and he isn't entitled to yours. I see no issue with him blocking you.

I would never wish that on the good people of Free Press.

Volodymyr Zelenskyy is a miracle. This man has spent years doing the diplomatic equivalent of somersaults on a tightrope while his country remains under siege. I don't believe in the Great Man Theory, but he's about as close as it gets.

Legit thought this was The Free Press for a second -- you know, Bari Weiss' propaganda outlet. This poor org.

This is AI.

Further developments: King Herod has announced his intention to eliminate all male children under the age of two from the area. "You can't be too careful with these undesirable elements," a spokesperson said. Local mother Rachel, when reached for comment, was crying too hard to speak.

So much of this feels like when my parents first got email in the mid 2000s and could not comprehend why it would be used for malicious purposes.
