Every once in a while I tell people from other countries about how the health insurance system works in the US and they are aghast. Yesterday a guy straight up didn’t believe me when I said people can die because of not being able to afford medicine. He was sure I meant in the distant past.

Look Out. 2026.

2025 job market: 26 rounds of interviews, cage-fight two large land mammals, take the One Ring to Mordor, and then find out the job never existed

2025 job market [healthcare workers]: if you go outdoors in scrubs, you will be bagged and thrown in a van. you work for them now.

You will never get a livable wage.

You will never get free or affordable healthcare.

You will never get lower college tuition or reduced college debt.

You will never have affordable housing, be it a house or an apartment.

You will *never* have these things

…until y’all stop hating Black People.

i think it should be a bigger story that the president held a meeting with a foreign head of state where he ranted about the most gutter white supremacist propaganda you can find on the internet

Title: How to focus on writing your book There follow eleven tiny images telling a story. The captions read: Turn your devices off (a writer with a phone and laptop. The screens are dark). Put them in a drawer. Lock the drawer. Throw away the key. Leave the house. Do not look back. Keep to backroads and hedgerows. Feel your old life slip away. (the writer has shed his clothes) Sleep by day. Forage in the evening. Write by the light of the moon When you have a passable first draft, commit a minor crime and use your phone call to contact your agent. (the naked writer is in a prison holding a phone while an unamused police officer looks on).

doing some reading on conservatives' long love affair with foreign authoritarians and one thing i'm struck by is their credulity and gullibility. you see this now with orban: "serious" conservatives hailing orban as an illiberal leader, while actual Hungarians are like "this guy is a two-bit thief"

Cloven Hooved Horned Satan sitting in a library reading books to kids since we can't do drag storytime anymore....i thought we'd try something else

I wish I could express to political pundits in other countries that "Yes we care about the troubling things our president is saying about your sovereignty, your economy, and your culture... But he just told us, his voting population, that he isn't sold on defending our constitution. We're busy ATM."

Black and white etching-style triptych showing 8 hours for work on the left, 8 hours for rest in the middle, and 8 hours for “what we will” on the right

Did you know the “weekend” and working only 8 hours per day used to be considered a radical, liberal idea?

139 years ago today, in Bay View, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, 7 workers (including a 13 yo) lost their lives to advance this revolutionary idea.

God wasted a perfectly good asshole when He put teeth in her mouth.

40 Years ago Carl Sagan knew about Climate change and he was so aware of it's impact on Nature more than us we do right now.

Jill Sobule, Singer-Songwriter of Groundbreaking 1995 Song ‘I Kissed a Girl,’ Dies in House Fire Jill Sobule, whose 1995 hit 'I Kissed a Girl' is considered the first openly gay-themed song to crack the Billboard Top 20, died in a fire Thursday.

She was a friend and I've just learned about this and I'm entirely heartbroken.

The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.

I am truly terrified for Hamdan. If you don’t know who Hamdan Ballal is, he is the director of No Other Land and he and Yuval both won the Oscar for Best Documentary this year

alt text A screenshot of a post on X by Karly Kingsley (@karlykingsley ): "Fair question." Below, a post by Mike Rothschild (@rothschildmd ) reads: "The US is scheduled to co-host the World Cup in 2026 and the Olympics in 2028. Why would thousands of international athletes and millions of fans from around the world come to a country where tourists, asylum seekers, and visa holders are being disappeared to foreign prisons?" Both accounts have blue checkmarks. Rothschild's profile picture shows a person in a suit.

Would anyone blame them if they said “hell no” to that?

please don’t text me war plans, because I’m actually at capacity right now and I don’t think I can hold appropriate space for you. do you have someone else you could reach out to?

the main concern is that with my genetic data the government can make a tiny clone of me that they can torture to get even more of my data
