Scientists: "Food gives you energy"

Me after eating:

"The Islamists oppose women getting an education," I mutter, as I aim my missile at the girls school

Social media created this nonsense idea that not exposing yourself to hatred is isolationist. Choosing to not spend your free time with bigots isn’t living in a bubble. I don’t need to know what’s going on at X. I won’t be smarter or more knowledgeable or empathic by being there. Neither will you.

casual reminder: there has never been a free and fair election for the entire electorate in america because at least one party has been hyperfocused on voter suppression since america was founded by slaveowning racists who only cared about their own power and liberty.

if you believe in any form of free enterprise at all, the idea that the Pentagon can not only cut off your contract but designate you a supply chain risk and prevent other companies from buying from you just because you won't build killbots for the government should be terrifying

In the Epstein story, the rape and trafficking of girls has been made into a metaphor for the economic exploitation by the elites of the American people. But there’s also actual rape involved, and it’s not a metaphor.

It has to start with the pro leagues taking an active role in sponsoring (bankrolling) a baseline of accessibility in youth sports.

In grad school I looked into MLB's RBI program for a class. This was in spring 2022. Their website hadn't been updated since before the pandemic.

She’s raised almost $20m to help Minnesota – she thinks you can do it too Ashley Fairbanks launched Stand with Minnesota as ICE raids rocked her home town – now donations are pouring in, and families’ rent is being paid

I need to address this immediately, because I am WAY too Minnesotan to ever claim credit for this.

I built a thing to point the fire hose of people's generosity in the right direction. That's it.

I am thankful for the piece, because hopefully it means people will donate more money.

you coulda just said nothing

It says that if someone else - including a cop - kills someone while you're involved in a crime - *you* legally killed them.

Every other country in the developed world has abolished it. But we have more people serving life sentences for felony murder than the rest of the world COMBINED.

Henceforth, I will be describing the way that U.S. men’s hockey spectacularly squandered good will, brand recognition, and fan loyalty as “pulled a Target.”

They pulled a Target.

ooooh also accurate!

papaya tastes like feet. you cannot convince me otherwise.

I know this will probably have asshats in my mentions again, but periodic reminder that everything happening now has a precedent. And that precedent is closer than slavery, internment, boarding schools, Jim Crow...it is the very modern school to prison pipeline. It is the last 40 years of policy.
