A screenshot of today’s New York Times report by Peter Baker. Baker’s lede contrasts the weeks-long “scandal” after a “furor erupted over reports” in 1994 that Hillary Clinton had made $100,000 on an investment 12 years earlier with the $28 million Melania Trump is pocketing from a film deal with Jeff Bezos, which, according to Baker, nobody gave a damn about. I have annotated the screenshot to note that Baker’s reference to Clinton’s profits hyperlinks a front-page 1994 New York Times article, while Baker’s reference to Melania’s profits hyperlinks a Wall Street Journal report, because the NYT did not cover the profits.

We’re all looking for the guy who did this.

The key to so many of these dudes' reactionary politics is that they can never stop believing that the sorting mechanisms of meritocracy put them on top because they deserved it

Freight has been in a recession since 2022, this bad

This feels true.

Also, we probably won’t want AI to take over care jobs - nannying, nursing, teaching, pediatric therapists, etc - where women outnumber men.

scene from Good Omens: "What was it he said that got everyone so upset?" "Be kind to each other." "Oh, yeah. That'll do it."

happy Good Friday to all who observe

The kid who kept filming is a real one.

This gives me hope that there aren’t as many Nazis out there as it seems.

The US govt owes every woman who has delivered a child a bidet.

It’s Bouquet!!

Lmao that takes me back…

Chicago, baby.

Parents fighting admin/Sped directors for supports is not uncommon. Social support for our kids can be low in our schools and other places (healthcare, schools, community, church).

One of the admins in a local school district got blasted by local media for her budget decisions. In her response, she wrote that she had to spend, $500,000 to educate six special ed students.

If Drump tries to kill the Dept of Ed, we will need to organize on behalf of these kids.

If it looks like we’re going to invade Canada, my protest sign is going to be “Can we just…not?”

I feel like this sign will get a lot of use.

I feel like the church should have an uneasy relationship with the police (in the US). Spiritually supportive of individual cops, harsh and condemning of police corruption. Generous with spiritual directors and chaplains to cops. No more bishops riding in police parades.

Omg he’s serious, I thought this was a joke

Get rid of daylight savings time!!!

It’s like all those underage migrants working in the meat packing plants overnight. Ofc other workers knew what was going on, but they had no power to do anything about it.

Funny, not offensive to your overly sensitive grandma/pa/parents, and you can just have it on.

If you need something to watch with all the family around (and you’ve watched Frazier too many times) may I present Would I Lie To You?

My life improved for the better when I started following more comedians and less glamfluencers on IG.

So, went to confession last weekend, but ended up not getting to Christmas mass due to illness. ☹️

“party city’s going out of business” would be a good line right before you kicked someone in the nuts

Hey y’all: just a reminder that if you’re sick, please stay home from church/gatherings. We got a nasty flu last year, and my son who is nonverbal and has diabetes landed in the hospital. It was rough. Please consider staying home bc there are compromised ppl out there! ❤️

It's fun to talk about Trump as the anti-christ but the extent that Musk ticks the boxes of 90's evangelical end times fixations almost gives me pause lol

A cashless society advocate who literally wants to put computer chips in your head assuming the role of shadow president is so on the nose

Call your senators and tell them NOT to confirm Trump’s you feel are not qualified. We must make it known how unqualified these folks are and how much we need competent government.
