basically every 2024 truism is dead. Trump did not build a lasting multiracial coalition or turn young men into committed Republicans. You don’t need to cave on trans rights to win. The pundits have nothing left to tell you.

The Enshittification of eShakti eShakti ghosted workers and customers alike, and the dream of something better than fast fashion died with it.

Once upon a time, eShakti was the go-to online shop for people sized out of mall stores, but no longer. @andreagrimes.com  investigates its heartbreaking enshittification:

I see pieces like this a lot, often w/ a spin of lamenting cultural degeneration, but reading is a LABOR issue, it’s declined because so many people are working overtime or two jobs & employers expect after hours work. France has Earth’s highest reading rate b/c long lunch breaks & labor protections

We live in a funhouse mirror.

I don't think we'll ever get another sentence which sums up everything the New York Times embodies quite like "Some legal experts have called it a crime to summarily kill civilians".

A script you can use if you’re not good at speaking on the spot.

I just called Chuck Schumer’s office and, for the first time EVER, a person answered, who then politely entered my complaints into their call log.

This tells me two things:

1) They’re not getting enough calls over there, and 2) If you want to yell at Schumer, today’s the day.

I try to remember that while they were fighting the ban on gender affirming care for minors here, one of the (trans) lawyers did a thread reminding folks that they're really good at making this feel like an overwhelming groundswell, but it is one clown car of debunked experts on a road trip.

You know, it’s not like I’m half-assing this, I am actually trying my best despite the fuck-ups.

An even tighter crop, focusing more on the pika's eye.

Buddy, I can see mountains reflected in the eyes of a trailside pika.

Unashamed to say this made me cry.

Top *eight* articles on NYT devoted to Charlie Kirk, top one asks if he will be remembered like MLK. This is a man who only a tiny percent of Americans had even heard of before his death, whose views are too nasty for NYT to detail. But they are trying so hard to turn into martyr.

We could all use a timeline cleanse, here is your prescription

Losing my goddamned mind.

We can condemn political violence without valorizing a destructive, hateful bigot.

During MSNBC’s coverage of Kirk’s shooting, anchor Katy Tur asked Dowd about “the environment in which a shooting like this happens.” Dowd responded with the following about Kirk: “He’s been one of the most divisive, especially divisive younger figures in this, who is constantly sort of pushing this sort of hate speech or sort of aimed at certain groups. And I always go back to, hateful thoughts lead to hateful words, which then lead to hateful actions. And I think that is the environment we are in. You can’t stop with these sort of awful thoughts you have and then saying these awful words and not expect awful actions to take place. And that’s the unfortunate environment we are in.”

I thought he celebrated Kirk's death with dancing and drinking, but he was fired for this. Just this.

Every media outlet is fucking terrified of the potential for violence directed at them
