“I felt like someone just sucked my blood, my air. Like, how do you live?"

I want to host a “MAGA + libs” party where the two sides are not allowed to talk politics. Instead they do an activity, like boardgames. I want to witness the dawning horror as they find themselves getting along

I had a friend for three years I never talked politics with who turned out to secretly be a member of Identity Evropa and was connected to a series of racial terrorism incidents on his campus. He was arrested in Florida last month for trespassing and throwing his soiled underwear at a police officer

Greatest hits redux.

I’m fucking exhausted.

11 more NYC libraries will soon open on Sundays A $2 million City Council deal will expand seven-day service to more than 30 branches citywide.

Eleven more libraries will reopen on Sundays, thanks to the leadership of the City Council. They never should've been closed in the first place.

He has every right to make this choice, and I can empathize with his decision. I won’t stop writing about AI destroying my friends’ jobs, but no one has ever suggested AI is worse than a mass school shooting—until he did. It’s a false dichotomy.

Also, if you want to learn how to resist, there are several specific examples provided, starting with the concept of solidarity providing actual power.

S2 E3: Director of Product Management Canned · Episode

Folks, you really did to give my friend @nerdseyeview.bsky.social’s podcast Canned a listen. This episode tells the tale of an entire department being wiped out because DOGE believed the rightwing framing that the government employees were basically commies because of pronouns. It’s a doozy!

Yeah, I read that in between posts.
