If the GOP Tax Scheme is so beautiful, then why are they voting on it in the wee hours of the morning? Maybe because it’s irredeemably ugly and cruel.

Are y’all seeing the AI-generated story about a summer reading guide with a list of non-existent books? Published by the Chicago Sun-Times! Sigh.

β€œWelcome in” is the latest linguistic phenomenon I’ve noticed. I hear it every time I enter a store or cafe, and just now I heard it from a news commentator for the first time (CBS news).

Pediatricians say that childhood vaccines are safe. A heroin-addled nepo baby with a brain worm says they may not be. For busy voters, it can be hard to know who to believe.

The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate.

The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns.

Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care.

The list goes on and on.

Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

so i've been honing my approach and i've landed on the optimal way to interact with cybertruck drivers: give them an enthusiastic thumbs up first, before dramatically turning it upside down and scowling. did it this morning and watched the light leave a man's eyes. very powerful

Just learned a new term for a phenomenon I’ve been experiencing my whole life! Thanks to my newest audiobook for introducing it to me.

With the SAVE act passing through the house I would like to remind everyone that it took the Taliban only 3 years to ban women from speaking #waronwomen #SAVEact

I cannot overstate the importance of reading books, particularly novels by respected authors, for critical thinking skills and reading comprehension. If the big gun novelists don't interest you, start small and work your way up. Or read whatever interests you. Just read. Or listen. It's all books.
