A secret, never-mentioned fact is that the people who voted for Zohran are also taxpayers.

Most well-known L.A. comics (which would be Kumail's circle) are far from rich. They're middle-class folks. Yes, the ones who get more TV and movie roles (like Kumail) might be wealthy, but most definitely aren't.

Kumail clearly does more than "nothing but attack Democrats".

You can vote for them and generally support them and fundraise for them, and also criticize them and believe right now is no time for, "things are always this way and everything will be okay."

There is one place, however, where Musk, with the help of his minions, achieved his goals. He did indeed shred U.S.A.I.D. Though a rump operation is now operating inside the State Department, the administration says that it has terminated more than 80 percent of U.S.A.I.D. grants. Brooke Nichols, an associate professor of global health at Boston University, has estimated that these cuts have already resulted in about 300,000 deaths, most of them of children, and will most likely lead to significantly more by the end of the year. That is what Musk’s foray into politics accomplished.

Musk should be asked about this in every interview he does now and forever. To ignore it is a dereliction of duty.

An important reminder that measles vaccines save millions of lives every year across the world.

The measles vaccine is arguably the most life-saving vaccine in use.

Scientists have been studying remote work for four years and have reached a very clear conclusion: "Working from home makes us happier." An Australian study, conducted over four years and starting before the pandemic, has come up with some enlightening conclusions about the impact of working from home. The researchers are unequivocal: ...

Study begun pre-COVID finds remote work increased sleep by 1/2 hr/night, decreased commute by 4.5 hr/week replaced with work, family & leisure and led to healthier eating. Remote and hybrid employees report higher job satisfaction and well-being. farmingdale-observer.com/2025/05/16/s...

Good on the Episcopal Church for taking a stand and committing to racial justice and reconciliation.

It's amazing *how many* are completely blind to the outright and obvious racism of the Trump administration. (But at this point, sadly not surprising.)

Team Trump Is Gaming Out How to Ship U.S. Citizens to El Salvador Donald Trump’s administration is talking internally about denaturalizing American citizens — and potentially sending some to El Salvador.

i have argued before that MAGA is recapitulating antebellum pro-slavery ideas about citizenship and bodily autonomy. one thing i am also thinking about, when it comes to the rendition of people to a foreign gulag, is the way it is reminiscent of the kidnapping of free blacks for sale into slavery

Poilievre would be another term for Harper, who is pulling the strings here in Canada and with right wing extremists around the world.

Except it would be worse… imagine Harper in power today, with Trump in charge next door.

If that doesn’t frighten you, it should.
