Here is my opening statement to the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee today.

It's the most wonderful time of the year! I'm VERY excited about the slate of final presentations for my "Sex & Gender in Reality TV" class.

The theme of power without any regard for the other’s humanity starts with Tyra vs the industry. But it shifts to stories with contestants, treating them like one dimensional characters for “good” tv ... TikTok video by Gwendolyn

Shoutout to Sociology Professor @djlindee.bsky.social who offers fantastic insight on the narratives and cultural implications in Reality TV.

a Free Press headline, Why Is No One Having Sex? https://www.thefp.com/p/why-is-no-one-having-sex

The Free Press is discovering new levels of Telling On Yourself that scientists previously thought could not exist

The Love Language of Perfectionism Unhealthy perfectionism's preoccupation with infinitely increasing status and security misses the ingredient that makes perfecting a worthy pursuit: love.

Noted psychoanalyst Don Carveth wrote, “The point of analysis is to get over yourself.” Yet, I can’t tell you why I believed I wasn’t allowed to settle and just love one thing, trying to perfect it. Perfectionism’s healthy form is a love language. www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/perf...

I don’t know who needs to hear this but listening to an audio book absolutely counts as “reading” a book.

In fact, I’d argue that listening to an author read their own work aloud is an exceptionally magical and even holy experience.

I love it so much. Especially as my eyesight gets worse.

Rep Ted Lieu speaking at a congressional hearing

Ted Lieu: “Were there any underage girls at that party or any party that Trump attended with Epstein”

Pam Bondi: “There is no evidence that Trump has committed a crime”

Ted Lieu: “I believe you just lied under oath”

Imagine a President bulldozing 1/3 of our Historic White House pocketing $300 million and that doesn’t even crack the top 100 most destructive, vile, disgusting things he’s done, yet here we are

Likely-historic photo by NBC News of all the Epstein victims asked to raise their hands if they've not yet been asked to meet with the DOJ as Bondi testifies in foreground

If Bad Bunny can cover the history of Puerto Rico, colonialism, transatlantic slavery, hemispheric consciousness, as well as contemporary life and politics in under 14 minutes, you can do your 15- or 20-minute conference presentation with time to spare.

I tried to take a photo of a grasshopper on my windshield, but now it looks like a gigantic bug destroying the town.

When you get visited by three Puerto Rican ghosts

Imagine if this administration put the same effort into stopping school shootings.

OK "god bless america" and then naming every country in the americas from south to north is absolute king shit

Was driving my kids to school and the first thing on the radio was reporting about Trump's video depicting the Obamas as apes and I think many people still don't fully appreciate what it means to have to raise Black children in a country where the president is so brazenly and consistently racist

so much clothing is marketed as "conversation starters" but as an introvert, i want "conversation enders." no more talking. let me go home.

Our founders, though deeply flawed, understood that democracy requires an informed citizenry and a government accountable to it people. That’s why the press is the only profession protected by the Constitution. It’s also why autocrats and oligarchs seek to control and destroy it.

i am trying not to joke about the Epstein stuff because it's so horrible but there's also this ridiculous element where it's like... discovering Dracula is real, he's taken over human society at the highest levels, he's involved in tons of evil and also he's a huge dipshit

Remember, if someone tells you that your dream of having a bookshelf with a rolling ladder is "unrealistic", they were never your friend to begin with.

A man assaulted Representative Ilhan Omar at her town hall, but she responded by dropping an f-bomb. Both sides need to tone things down.

Coming tomorrow, by someone who thinks of themself as a serious person.

Miller's wife apparently thinks classical liberalism is "deeply leftist" and "woke"...
