It’s a terrible bill. It will literally kill people. The most vulnerable among us will suffer as the wealthiest benefit. It’s perverse. I wish there were something I could do. But alas, I am only a U.S. Senator from Alaska whose “no” vote would kill the bill. So I voted yes. You get it.

What's "just not true"? Do a single one of those headlines or articles clearly state that this is a bill to raise taxes on the poor, strip away Medicare and Medicaid, and give hundreds of billions to building concentration camps?

Here’s Your Cheat Sheet for Vaccine Recommendations Backed by Science These graphics will guide you through science-based vaccine guidelines for children and adults

Vaccination schedules on the CDC website have already started changing under RFK Jr. So we published a guide to the evidence-based vaccine recommendations in place *before* all 17 members of the advisory panel were abruptly dismissed by the new admin. www.scientificamerican.com/article/see-... 🧪

as a child I thought it was wildly unrealistic that Sims would immediately give up on all their goals and dreams if a single dirty plate was left on the ground but now that I’m an adult I understand that that was the most realistic part of the game

Just by the way, much of the basic research on the cognitive psychology of attention can trace its history to early support from ONR. The problem of vigilance and detection while staring at a radar screen led to support of foundational research on visual attention now applied far and wide.

The appalling smearing of Zohran Mamdani as 'anti-semitic' It's Islamophobic. It's racist. It's also completely untrue.

My latest — The accusations of antisemitism against NYC mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani have been some of the most appalling smears I’ve seen in my years covering politics.

I wrote about the concerted attack, & pressure for American Jews to define a local political race through the lens of Israel:

What's the rationale behind "winning" the Senate if only right wing policy could win it?
Also, when has adopting right wing policy EVER caused Republicans to view Democrats favorably?

Hi fellow white folks! If you haven't picked a specific place/organization for your Juneteenth reparations, or if you've got a little left to allocate, may I please STRONGLY recommend Black Mamas Matter Alliance? Their work is more crucial than ever now.

At that stage of tattoo healing where I desperately want to just remove my leg with a hacksaw because a leg that isn't there won't itch anymore

Oh fuck don't be, I'm absurdly bad off right now, there's about a gazillion things I NEED to be doing and instead I'm wallowing in the Big Sad

This is how bad my mental health has gotten: getting myself a streaming service I've been wanting just so that I can start watching shows I actually enjoy instead of just background noise for my doomscrolling, is my biggest act of self care this week.

College Kid: how much wood would a woodchuck chuck

Jordan Peterson: define woodchuck

CK: small mammal

Jordan Peterson: so right there you’re denying the existence of fish

CK: no im asking how much wood-

JP: Listen to me! You’re speaking in abstractions, if there is no tree how is there wood?!

Twelve days before Art Spiegelman: Disaster Is My Muse (2024) was set to broadcast on April 15 across PBS stations nationwide as part of its strand American Masters, the filmmakers were told that a 90-second sequence—which shows the famous artist discussing an anti-Trump cartoon he created for the 2017 Women’s March newspaper—would be cut from the documentary.

Terrible.

What Would It Mean to Defend All Abortions? Democrats love to avoid it, and Republicans love to lie about it. But later-abortion care has never been more important.

"These are often children; these are people in poverty; these are people with very few resources; these are people who use drugs,” Horvath told me. “If we’re willing to throw the most vulnerable people under the bus as a movement, then what the hell is our movement doing?”"

Oh Jesus we're back on the "cognitive decline" shit. Ok Jake Tapper. Funny how not being adequately anti Biden is ONLY disqualifying if you're not a white cishet guy.

What do you mean? Everywhere. Local, state, national, we're not obligated to elevate Chapo/Hogg types just because the old rich fucks suck. There are genuinely progressive people out here doing real and good work. The question is why is it so important that Hogg specifically lead the party?

Like while people are out here trying to cancel Kenyatta because he was "too pro Biden" he's actually addressing real issues in the party. He was the one calling out Fetterman back when everyone else was completely duped.

No, they don't need to be kicked out of the party. But they sure as shit don't need to be placed in a leadership position just because they're young/not the current leadership. Change is needed but it's important to change to something better not just different.

YouTube video by The Hill David Hogg SLAMS Democratic Party On Bill Maher For ABANDONING Young Men | RISING

Sure here ya go

I'm not on the fence at all. It's absolutely true that Hogg is being fucked over by the DNC for all the wrong reasons, but so is Malcolm Kenyatta and yet.

Did you not see him on Bill Maher saying the left needs to focus on making sure young white cishet men get laid and don't feel like people expect them to be respectful?

This revelation brought to you by the fact that yesterday I was really having A Day in that constant onslaught of minor inconveniences kind of way and then I had a "this is the last straw" meltdown and THEN I made myself go to the baseball game I was really looking forward to ANYWAY and had fun.

Two things can be true. We absolutely need the gerontocracy the fuck out of the Democratic party and need to either tear out current leadership wholesale and build a new party - AND Hogg is a misogynist who shouldn't be in charge of whatever we put in place

This one should probably have stayed in the drafts or the therapy zoom, but anyway I noticed that my brain is wayyyy better at harnessing my single molecule of executive function in service of making me do stuff I hate than in the service of making me do stuff I will like and have fun doing.

Oh, and I, Borg absolutely bangs too.

Even though they're not DS9 relevant you need Measure of a Man and The Offspring. That's good Trek.
