autumn

It is wild that Charlie Kirk of all things is becoming *the* litmus test.

Even just talking about the event publicly without a sufficient supply of sackcloth and ashes is cast as "promoting political violence." I haven't seen this kind of mandatory performance of allegiance and piety since 9/11.

due to funding cuts, foodnet is no longer requiring state-level monitoring for campylobacter, cyclospora, listeria, shigella, vibrio and yersinia. the 10 foodnet states can still do that, but they’ll need funding to replace CDC’s

Stacey Sobelman staceysobelman ICE is offering a $45,000 SIGNING BONUS plus $100,000 starting salary. I make $55,000 as a teacher in my 8th year with a Masters. It was never true that wE dOn'T hAvE eNoUgH mOnEy to pay teachers more. It was always intentional. Education has been INTENTIONALLY defunded for decades because an educated populous is a threat to power. Read the books. Do the work. They are TERRIFIED of education.

I think the Democratic party hates Zohran on a personal level because he's not a bloodless quant. Dem insiders seem to adore people with self-evidently craven, dull and obsequious personalities. They are flummoxed and angered by someone who has the behaviours and predilections of a normal human.

caring about anyone's SAT score above the age of 18 is peak midwit behavior

Love that they think Adams being pardoned by Trump is something that no Dems or progressives will care about.

1 year. Miss you, Scoot! ❤️

Yes every conservative social media site becomes a tropical rainforest of school shooters and Ponzi schemes but did you know that there is a left-wing social media site where people are rude to the nation’s center-right political pundits

Ify, Katie, and Brennan holding hands in shared trauma solidarity. Their arms connect to form a triangle between them, and the Virtuous Economic Cycle is superimposed atop it.

For Trans day of visibility you should be able to go up to Contrapoints and ask for a favour like in the Godfather

A photo of 4 different tea towel designs

Need to tease the new tea towel designs coming next week!

Trees line the bottom of the photo. A cloud pattern with orange and grey is in the sky above.

Good evening. The days are getting longer.

this washes away any residual doubt. the real motivation behind Meta’s policy changes isn’t some misguided conception of free speech, it’s just discrimination.

Aron Ralston with Blair braverman

NEW EPISODE! What would you do if you were pinned down by an 800-pound boulder, and no one knew where you were? In 2003, Aron Ralston had to answer that question. Today, our survival correspondent @blairbraverman.bsky.social is here to tell us the tale of the man, the myth, and the multitool.

None of it made any sense. The women's movement was (obviously) correct on the merits and women still severely lagged behind in employment and wages throughout the 1980s. The scare stories about feminists destroying workplaces and judging women for staying home were either false or anecdotal.

The scope of the data is incredible. Cover stories in Newsweek about how no-fault divorce left women worse off. Pop-psych bestsellers about how feminists were driving men away. The right launched a "pro-family" movement to put women back in the home. Hollywood produced schlock like Fatal Attraction.
