when you have the conference room booked for a recurring meeting but the previous people just won't leave

One of the many terrible consequences of making education impossibly unaffordable is that getting one for any reason other than making money isn't feasible for most people.

Also expecting people to have their whole lives mapped out before they're adults is a bad thing.

Imagine knowing your platform was a playground for predators, fueling teen depression, eating disorders, and suicide and deciding the best course of action was… absolutely nothing. Meta didn’t just “miss” anything.

Key context; this was not filed in the case in front of Judge Xinis in Maryland, this was filed in his criminal case in Tennessee, where they're saying that the new revelations that the admin lied about Costa Rica are yet another sign of a vindictive prosecution.

It's clear now that what we really meant by "Recession" & "Suffering From Inflation" in 2022-24 was "folks liked the large income spike in 2020-21 & wanted more stimulus checks & welfare spending like what came with the ARP, perhaps permanently," but we are clearly not ready for <that> discussion.

🏆⚽️✈️ After winning the NWSL championship Saturday night, Gotham FC have just departed San Jose on board the very same all-white Avelo jet (N805VL) that lost cabin pressure with shackled ICE abductees aboard two weeks ago and had to make an emergency landing in Las Vegas 😬

But whether it was the NWSL or the club itself that hired this plane, they should know that they can stipulate in the contract that they will not accept flights with these specific carriers that are involved in daily transport of chained humans.

Yesterday I tried to put everything I knew about whistles—where to get them, where to get instruction sheets, how to distro—into one place so you can build off it for your own community's whistle needs: dansinker.com/posts/2025-1...

A snowy owl preening. November 22, 2025, Chicago.

For over 300 years now, it is a bedrock principle in Anglo-American constitutionalism that obedience is owed according only to law. Refusal to follow an illegal command is not only a moral choice but an absolute duty.

there was a lot of “you gotta hand it to ‘em” about musk and rfk jr that you didn’t see about other cabinet members and initiatives and i think it was very class coded

Yep, Congress bravely condemned socialism today!

David Hogg was spot on about needing to primary these corporate sellouts. That’s why the DNC did everything they could to smear his name.

Socialism is what they called public power.

Socialism is what they called social security.

Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.

Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

—Harry Truman, 1952

Hakeem Jeffries was literally voting for a resolution condemning socialism while this meeting was taking place

Chicago isn’t actually a city, it’s 50 tiny fiefdoms ruled by scheming warlords with soup for brains

i'm howling.

area academic man in the House of Lords unaware of words with multiple definitions

It remains insane to me that DOGE was treated at the time as an impressive shock and awe accomplishment - “you can’t deny he’s getting stuff done!” - and then instantly memory holed by the press once if became clear it was a total failure by every possible standard including Musk’s own

Watching this again and really appreciating anew the Bugs Bunny windup

It’s always about the racism. Particularly targeting Black people and Black woman. They stole the term woke from Black culture, fucked its meaning, and used it to stoke anger. Utter bullshit.

My hot take is that over the next 10 years, we're going to see more emphasis on and investment in the humanities at Ivy League and other fancy schools just as state schools and small privates continue to decimate and even eliminate the humanities.

Let’s see if one single pundit who said there was some great realignment of American sentiment with this last election, based on what they saw on the Nazi-owned platform overrun by foreign actors, offers any retractions or corrections for their gullibility.

During last week’s Endorsement Meeting, UN35 members voted overwhelmingly to endorse two progressive champions in their upcoming primary elections: Miguel Alvelo-Rivera, who’s running for IL State Rep - 40th District; and Karina Villa, who’s running for State Comptroller.

Congratulations to Miguel Alvelo-Rivera and Karina Villa on getting endorsed by United Neighbors of the 35th Ward.

Why some alderpeople are pushing back on Johnson’s budget proposal: borrowing, head tax and cuts to youth programs • The TRiiBE Vasquez has an issue with borrowing money. Scott’s issue is with the head tax and TIFs. Other alders question transparency and impact with the latest budget proposal.

every year someone does a study that’s like “we gave 100 homeless ppl money and their lives improved” and every year the government kills that guy

ChatGPT has been telling me not to trust that motherfucker Gemini, and Claude informs me that Grok really likes the taste of Nazi boots

Before state troopers & other cops took over security outside the ICE facility, some of the most brutal verbal assaults on ICE that we witnessed came on weekdays when there were just two women protesting.

They eviscerated these guys & you could tell they got under ICE’s skin in ways guys couldn’t.

The extent to which I was completely abandoned with pcos/endo is hard to quantify, and plenty of people tried to sell me WooWoo solutions for pain.

Doctors completely failed me on every front for most of my life, I am sympathetic to not trusting them. It is a hard convo.

High school senior, a U.S. citizen, detained by ICE in Oregon The 17-year-old was held more than five hours Friday in an ICE facility, his brother said.

The teenager told officers he was a U.S. citizen, but an officer broke the car’s driver’s side window and detained him. In a video, the boy can be heard telling an officer that he is a citizen, to which the officer replies, “Get out of the car” and “I don’t care.”
