wow, which common vaccine was it?

That’s the kind of kneejerk dismissive advice that makes me violent. Telling people to just grow their own food is tantamount to telling them to eat cake.

@nicktroehler.bsky.social signing emails "cheers" just triggered my PTSD

I feel like most the people I knew just had a phase where they got really into artisanal whiskey drinks

People at CBS who worked in scripted arena hated working for a whole array of assholes so much the place leaked like a sieve. At diff points, mgmt was so angry about my reporting, execs speculated furiously about my sources & methods. I know this bec I was sent recordings of those rants (twice lol)

all these people protesting today in groups of a few dozen on the main streets of small towns in deep red Trump country - where they will absolutely take shit from their neighbors about it at church tomorrow or at work on Monday or next time they go to the grocery store - are braver than the Marines

I bet @atennantcytoact.bsky.social has some!

What's something you never/rarely get asked but want to talk about anyway?

The Hack: Where David Tennant puts on his Doctor Who voice, only it sounds the volume is turned down slightly, and it's on 0.7x speed. 😇 #TheHack #ITV #DoctorWho

"How tinted are these windows?" AHHHHHH

I try not to repost news from Meidas because, and this is important, they click bait and rage bait and honestly I don't think any of us need that shit.

Deep in the article, there are quotes from young liberal staffers too. There is a problem with inflammatory rhetoric on both sides.

Resisting School AI Mania Help Sheet Help Sheet: Resisting AI Mania in Schools K-12 educators are under increasing pressure to use—and have students use—a wide range of AI tools. (The term “AI” is used loosely here, just as it is by man...

I've updated my document that tackles four of the common arguments used to encourage teachers to use AI.

I hope this will be helpful to those educators wanting to push back on AI mania.

This Halloween I’m going as the scariest thing of all, emotional intimacy!!! ha ha just kidding I’m prion disease

No

Also: if you work for ICE, even if you’re not one of the ones arresting citizens or tackling 15-year-olds or zip-tying kids together and segregating them by race, you’re part of the mechanism making it happen, and you should suffer long-term social and post-regime-change consequences.

I'm going to choke from laughing so hard at this 😂😂😂 WHERE'S THE LIE

a broken clock may be right twice a day, but you should still throw it out

Have you read The Only Good Indians? Thoughts? I just finished and am still rotating it in my mind microwave.

I'm getting more excited every day for this production!!!

practically a requirement for this administration to be a sex pest

What utter buffoons. I don't have a single shred of faith there will be any consequences, but in another timeline this is career ending.

Manifesting 🙏🏼

I love how Mike Johnson, the Speaker of the House and #2 in line for the presidency, is always like, “What? News?! I never read or hear anything that happens in the world, anywhere. I’m totally offline. What even is ‘social media’? They play news all day on TV!? Wow! That’s a surprise!”

As I recently wrote, "globalist" has long been a term that antisemites have used to attack and demonize Jews.

Part of what’s happened is that as (neoliberalism, if you prefer) our political theory of governance starves one part of the social safety net, people flee to the other parts. Disability claims is, for a lot of people, an onerous, right to get last stop on a train heading for a brick wall.

"Well I'm not a policy maker"

We're currently watching over a century of complex societal issues manifest into the total decay of democracy, then just boiling it down to "it's just a distraction from <insert current thing>". It's very unlikely we'll avert disaster if people can't even accept that this is real and happening.

Pritzker needs to take some sort of demonstrative action against this. But nothing he does will stop this.

Still, liberal voters and elected leaders are confronted by the fact that the police are not democratically accountable. They have no interest in protecting you or your rights from the feds.
