administrative and institutional democracy is a complex process. the dream of the unitary executive theorists/presidentialism-pilled media, punditry, and political class is that politics is just One Event rather than an ongoing and roiling series of actions, measures, and countermeasures

A good point people are bringing up — if they need to pretend that making this commercial was hard work to avoid getting yelled at, they are also undercutting the propaganda that A.I. will give you a ton more free time. Which fake story are you sticking to. bsky.app/profile/cult...

I just know there are more books just like it/that have what I want but they’re self-pubbed with barely any reviews or currently languishing in agents’ and editors’ inboxes and I’ll most likely never get to know about them

Also, if you want more like it, with a slightly darker bent: please read Ari Baran

Heated Rivalry, when I first read it, was everything I wanted out of romance. The faithful adaptation reminds me it’s still everything I want out of romance.

& I think its publication—ebook-only by a smaller publisher who only gave in & produced print editions after YEARS of begging—says a lot.

bubs, i’ve only got two, maybe three Motown puns left in me. Four tops.

you know how i know im a 44yo dad? how much i laughed at this shit

This technology that people in school administrations and higher education are demanding everyone get behind because it's "the future" and "we just have to accept it," which is, nfn, the language of abuse.

I am seeing some comments like “what if pro athletes really did kiss???” and I am excited for those people to learn about the WNBA

Also how Will & Nico’s relationship remains so cute and loving throughout it all, like seamlessly done 😭

Almost done with the second Nico Di Angelo book and MAN the things Oshiro and Riordan do in this series about dealing with trauma, about who is good and who is bad and who is worthy of redemption/how the only true evil is the lie of purity—man! MAN!!! Kidlit forever!!!!!

‘john’ is still such a great name man. classic, timeless, can turn it into ‘johnny’ aka one of the all time great nicknames. like a little black dress you take with you everywhere

Trans people suffer the most violence in prison. PREA was never enough but it’s just disgusting to roll it back.

It's good—very good, and very important—that district courts keep issuing these 100-page rulings upholding the law. It must be incredibly dispiriting to see them overturned in a two-page, lawless, unsigned order, but please, keep them coming. They expose SCOTUS' corruption like nothing else.

Scathing dissent from Justice Kagan:

"[T]his Court reverses that judgment based on its perusal, over a holiday weekend, of a cold paper record. We are a higher court than the District Court, but we are not a better one when it comes to making such a fact-based decision."

No-strings-attached, zero-means-testing, no-questions-asked cash payouts have been proven, over and over again, to be the most effective form of charity/aid going.

It gets people in housing, and it saves the state money. We know this. It's fact, not theory.

You know who really “hates Nashville”? The Republicans who did this to the city to steal their representation, while refusing to have a single town hall there ever. (cc: Speaker Sexton, @SenJohnson @GovBillLee @MarshaBlackburn @AndyOgles @RepJohnRose @MattForTN @RepMarkGreen @SenatorHagerty )

The one good billionaire being the lady who got divorced tells us so much about everything really

Elizabeth Taylor in an 80s press conference speaking on the stigma of AIDS “…And it so angered me that I finally thought to myself, Bitch, do something yourself.” from the documentary “Elizabeth Taylor: The Lost Tapes.”

there’s a scene in the new documentary where Elizabeth Taylor is talking about the stigma of AIDS and how she got involved in the movement and it’s fucking everything

Probably a lot because you are very very good at food

President Hernandez was responsible for smuggling 500 TONS of cocaine into the United States! He was the top dog; the Pablo Escobar figure! He wasn’t just “selling drugs in that country.”

omg what a relief. Thank you for telling us

As she sat on a bus near a tarmac in Texas in the early hours on Saturday morning, just about 48 hours after her arrest — with handcuffs around her wrists and shackles around her feet — and saw that most of the people around her were from Honduras, too, Lopez Belloza realized she was likely being deported that very day. “The thing that was hitting me so hard, it was my education,” Lopez Belloza, who is the first in her family to go to college, said.

“I was so happy when I got there [to Babson],” Lopez Belloza said. “I was just living the college life — going to events, going everywhere ... everything there was really great. I really loved the school." She and her father also had a special shared aspiration. With her business degree, Lopez Belloza was going to help her father open his own tailor shop, they hoped.

This interview with Any Lucia Belloza is heartbreaking but everyone should read it. These are the lives our country is destroying.

guys do I watch heated rivalry or do I allow it to only exist as it does in my memories, in my own head.

It will be a criminal offense to fail to make this disclosure.

PITTSBURGH'S Public Source Newspaper Guild of Pittsburgh journalists return to their jobs at the Post-Gazette after three years on strike After a court ruling in their favor, long-striking journalists declared victory and returned to a pivotal Southwestern Pennsylvania newsroom. They return as union organizing continues throughout the region. Stephanie Strasburg November 24, 2025

Natalie Duleba, local secretary of the guild, hugs Jon Schleuss, president of the NewsGuild Communications of America, as she hands him the mic. "The first day of this strike, our folks went over across the street and they sat down at a table, and they started talking about that they were going to take care of each other," said Schleuss, acknowledging the guild could not have known how long the path back to work would be.
