...been destroyed. And Israel has violated ceasefires before, as we know, so peace is fragile. So it's important to still donate if you are able. 2/2

I don't have a platform so I don't post often, but Ruaa's is one of the GoFundMes that I have been supporting with what I can. I know it is easy to think that things are fine now that there is a ceasefire. But the border is still closed, food is only slowly getting into Gaza, and most homes have 1/2

Earbuds for the plane. They help with the pressure changes and may provide some reprieve if you, like me, always end up with upset babies in surround sound.

What have I become?

The thing is that this settlement has fundamentally turned into a piracy suit; it's been restricted to torrented titles and the judge concluded that using books to train is fair use.

It is good to finally hear this from a Senator. If only Sen. Schumer would encourage this kind of unity.

Trump is asking us to start choosing groups we're willing to abandon, and the only way to make him stop is to be clear we're not fucking abandoning ANYONE.

Call your reps. Call your fucking reps. Especially in red states. Use the @5calls.org app, it's easy and free.

I'd love a working healthcare system -which is not what we have- but you guys should fire the DNC advisors who think you should focus on this over the erosion of our rights.

I thought I'd play Koriko to give myself a benign project. Now I'm completely obsessed with over-engineered layout spreads and my cat is helping.

Oh, you might want to check out what Foundation PHI has running. They had an amazing set of exhibits when I was there a couple years ago.

Right? Same in Seattle. I get to say "Oh, the CHOP? Yeah, I went over there a few times and talked to people." And get goggled at, because apparently the whole neighborhood was razed to the ground and I just didn't notice.

No, I'm not, this is wish fulfillment at this point! But I love their food.

I probably should. And then I should go back there to see if I made it like they did.

Everything from Dishoom is amazing. That book is sitting in my closet to give to my sister but I keep... Peeking at it.

The social acceptance of slavery theme really got to me too. These movies dove eagerly into the worst thematic treatments possible.

Good luck. This is bringing back memories I thought I'd repressed (Jar Jar Binks).

Did Inadequate Women’s Healthcare Destroy Star Wars’ Old Republic? Why didn’t they just go to a goddamned obstetrician-gynecologist?

I can never think about it without coming back to this Vice piece:

-because they really care about the appearance of congeniality, and they've all probably run into That Guy, the one who won't let them get a word in.

I really wonder who he sees as his target audience. This will turn off anyone who's looked at the housing market this decade. His style of constantly cutting off Wilson and refusing to say her name can't be playing well even with female NIMBYs who think apartments kill trees and ruin neighborhoods-

Hundreds of Alligator Alcatraz detainees drop off the grid after leaving site As of the end of August, the whereabouts of two-thirds of more than 1,800 men detained at Alligator Alcatraz during the month of July could not be determined by the Miami Herald.

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

What people should be asking is how many of these firings of prominent black media are due to administration pressure we don't see. People take at face value that Attiah was fired because Bezos sucks, which is true enough but he wasn't hobbling the reporting at WaPo like this even five years ago.

I mean, part of the outcry is because the FCC directly interfered in public. But I also don't think we'd see the same level of engagement with a target who wasn't white. My parents are very not-online people and still heard about Kimmel, who they don't watch, within 24 hours.

I suspect Trump's lawsuit against them may have provided some momentum. It's been tossed out but the suits have to see the writing on the wall.
