I really appreciate this TikToker with Tourette syndrome, Shay, for taking the time to educate so many of us (including me) about her disability and coprolalia in light of what happened at the BAFTAs with John Davidson when Michael B. Jordan and Delroy Lindo were on stage.

I learned a lot.

Really excited for this conversation with the great @timothysnyder.bsky.social -see you at 4p ET / 1p PT on Substack and later on YouTube. Please consider subscribing and supporting independent journalism. Thanks!

I don’t understand how media isn’t talking all day, everyday about Trump’s dementia, his rapid cognitive decline, his utter unfitness for office. Every meeting with the media should begin with Trump reading an analog clock. He can’t do it. You know he’s too far gone to even read an FN clock.

you should want to repair harm you caused, even unintentionally

I have done this a few times. 😬

it will forever be funny to me that apple tries too hard to make their products pretty, to the point they removed their USB ports, so people need to use converter dongles, which are known to interfere with wifi, so the dongles need to be wrapped with the jankiest ass aluminum sheets

A whiteboard leaned against a shelf with many trinkets. On the whiteboard, it says “When you look at a blank page, think of who you love”

In his acceptance speech for award for best screenplay, Ryan Coogler said “when you look at a blank page, think of who you love” and I dunno, that really moved me so I wrote it down and sat it on my desk to look at while I work

I once dreamt my balls hatched.

politics is not about being right, it's not about justice - that's what *our* politics is about, but politics as such is about who has power, and how much. if we don't have power, things we want will not happen
