ooh, some desperate last-minute fearmongering and electioneering, The New York Times!

I never would have predicted.

MCWHORTER = RETCH, WORM

"subcognitive" is a helluva word and it accurately reflects the path we're on

Turns out fascism and the arts are incompatible, The Washington Post. Who knew?

Maybe they'll put on AI-generated performances for an audience of chatbots and lobotomized MAGA-types.

>lolsob<

They will still find a way to retreat to the comfort of consultants' favorite decades-long failed strategy of moving to the center (read: center-right and beyond).

How many times must it be shown?

Religions are a scam, *especially* the ones where appointed intermediaries claim to be mouthpieces for their god(s). The fact is that their god(s) are sock puppets casting shadows on the wall.

Ah yes, "We the Democrats" is definitely what a Republican official in a Republican administration meant when she said "your government is failing you...we have failed you"

Katzenmusik - Album by Michael Rother Katzenmusik is the third studio album by the German solo artist Michael Rother. It was released in 1979 and includes the single "Katzenmusik 9" b/w "Katzenmusik 2". The album was recorded between Marc...

Every so often I marvel at how the parallel technological developments of recorded sound, moving pictures, and transportation have allowed me to listen to music while driving a car, and observe that it's an overwhelmingly cinematic experience. A simple yet complex synergy.

How the fuck else would it be pronounced, The New York Times?

mam, dan, i

It's only seven letters long and there are no complicated parts to it.

Your agenda is showing.

Privileged scolds begrudging even small bread and one-ring circuses, as they themselves rot the economy from the inside out.

It's all so incredibly short-sighted and dumb. Every aspect.

It incenses me.

On the other hand, the people who claim they want to go to Mars, I'd be happy to see them off Earth.

Genuinely such an interesting long thread on why these suits look crap and yet how a particular type of crap suit has become a cultural signifier for right-wing men.

The conversation about the NYC election is not actually about the NYC election. It’s about the vile and hated useless old guard Dem establishment finally being shown the door and the possibility of something new and better. A thing many, many people have been DESPERATE for.

“They have fun while doing it, which is deeply disturbing. We expect some level of decorum from government officials,” says Phoebe, a member of Harbor Area Peace Patrols.

Book cover for "Feminism in the Wild: How Human Biases Shape our Understanding of Animal Behavior" by Ambika Kamath and Melina Packer. The top half of the cover has a photo of lions on the savanna under a cloudy sky, with the title "Feminism" in white letters. The lower half of the cover is an off-white color, with "In the Wild" in the same font but in black letters, with the subtitle in grey below it, and the author names in black text below.

Time for a book review! My next review is Feminism in the Wild: How Human Biases Shape our Understanding of Animal Behavior, by biologist Ambika Kamath, and feminist scholar Melina Packer. (1/9)

When I worked in WaPo Opinions in 2017-2018, senior editors specifically told junior editors not to factcheck Marc Thiessen and other MAGA columnists, otherwise they wouldn’t be able to publish anything by them at all, and “we need them for intellectual diversity.”

Yet again, what would he be doing different if he were in fact an enemy agent for a rival nation, e.g. Putin's Russia.

Trump pushes an end to medical care for transgender youth nationally The White House plans to bar hospitals that treat transgender children and youth from getting any Medicare and Medicaid payments. The move would affect trans youth who have private insurance, too.

The Trump administration will soon be releasing two Medicaid rules that would ban medicaid funding for gender affirming care for trans youth and any Medicaid reimbursements to any organization that provides care to trans youth. This would be a de facto national ban

This is how you break the supply chain and cause inflation and a recession.

There is a certain meta-creepiness to it.

This will literally kill children

And pave the way for a national ban for adults as well

We need hospitals, doctors, and researchers to take a stand for basic scientific and medical ethics NOW

In Utah, Trump’s Vision for Homelessness Begins to Take Shape

Under Trump, the draconian future of homelessness policy is coming into focus: mass internment. Utah is building a 16-acre site to detain up to 1,300 homeless people inside locked "accountability centers." This is profoundly alarming.

Vital reporting from @ellenbarry.bsky.social and Jason DeParle:

The bigotry and oppression continues apace, contravening all responsible scientific and medical findings.

The general populace cannot give up on trans rights, for they are human rights. What this regime does to trans people today, they will do to anyone and everyone tomorrow.

they are trying to kill every trans kid in America

when these rules actually come out, they will be open for public comment and all of us need to flood submissions, call our reps, make noise, everything including the kitchen sink

unconscionable evil

The racism is off the charts

Horrific.

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House.

Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity.

They are not the same.

To recap: Trump is spending money Congress never appropriated to pay federal employees with guns, and cutting programs and grants even when Congress has appropriated funds.
They literally have a contingency fund for SNAP that they are refusing to use.
No Speaker has done more to weaken Congress.
