THREAD: I got laid off from NYMag/Vulture after 14 years. The family lost 75% of income + medical. Now mzs.press bookstore, once a side project. is do-or-die for Judith & I. I feel weird telling you this because others are doing much worse. But if you could like or share this, we'd be so grateful!

there's so much bad in the world but there's also people who lift up and carry an elderly bat around every day so he can pretend he's flying again, and that's the part of the world I think is worth fighting for

send this to a friend to jumpscare them

A few years ago Chris Fleming described himself (and me) as "the kind of guys who also would have been killed during the Salem Witch Trials" and tonight he has a very funny comedy special on HBO!

They won't start with banning birth control. First they'll lie about it. Then dictate who can prescribe it, use it, fund it, in what forms, and for how long. Suddenly, your doctor won't call you back. I know this is what they'll do because it's what they're doing to transgender healthcare right now.

MAKE AN EMERGENCY DONATION to Trans Continental Pipeline right now.

They are a Colorado based org that helps trans people relocate there and they are overwhelmed with requests. CO borders KS, and TCP has the infrastructure to help get people out.

GO DONATE.

Doctors say that vaccines are the best way to protect children against measles. A guy who eats dogs and snorts cocaine off toilet seats says they should just swim in untreated sewage water instead. For busy parents, it can be hard to know who to trust.

Oh god, was he in the files too?

probably the worst photo illustration of the year; also the worst homage to the Replacements’ PLEASED TO MEET ME

Fascism is here and yet we insist on continuing to make things. Keep creating. It's so important. Do not let the fascists colonize your imagination or curtail your creativity.

The sheer scale of the corruption - announced just today - is astounding and shameful.

‘A KNIGHT OF THE SEVEN KINGDOMS’ is averaging nearly 13M viewers per episode in the U.S.

Episode 5 got a new series high of 9.2M viewers in its first 3 days.

I promise, no cancer. And no deathbed scenes.

The anti-trans propaganda push is one of the best examples I know of real-world disinformation in action.

RALEIGH!!!! Will y'all be my Valentine this weekend and whatnot? Four showtimes to accommodate your busy ass schedule and so forth.

people who say that all creative endeavor can be replaced with AI probably need to reckon with the fact that all televised sports events with human athletes could easily be replicated by high-definition computer-animated simulations….and yet we don’t do this and no one seems to want to.

Political earthquake. Nithya Raman is running for mayor.

Not only does this pose a serious threat to Mayor Bass, but it reframes the June primary in a way that benefits down ballot progressives in other city races.

Rising Progressive Star Shakes Up Race for Los Angeles Mayor

LA: @runforsomething.net alum Nithya Raman is running for MAYOR, the best possible news you could hope for. There are few sharper leaders or fighters out there. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/07/u...

Don’t let a data center consume more water than you today.

The thing about all these men is they could date anybody. They're rich, they're famous. They could bag socialites or models or actresses or whoever. Instead they single out the most vulnerable women and girls they can find. They cannot form relationships with women who are their peers.

This is Zeus. He's 13 and can't howl quite like he used to. But that doesn't stop him from stepping pup when his community needs him. 14/10 #SeniorPupSaturday (IG: zeustheoldiegoldie)

Calling up your Dem senators and thanking them for doing this is how you encourage them to hold the line, no matter how low your estimation of them is
