A friend just told me I am her most evil friend.

Had the opportunity to review ‘Shucked’ and it was well worth staying up past midnight to turn in the assignment the next morning.

Unfortunately it’s illegal for poor people to have fun.

Guy who has been banned from every leftist party: "You're all doing it wrong"

@cascadiaresistance.bsky.social its time to push them back. These fucking terrorists do not belong on our land. Theyre the bad guys

This really captures my experience holding babies.

I’d be interested in hearing your thoughts when you’re done.

It's theatre season and I'm back on my review bullshit.

This Day in Labor History: October 19, 1980. The Amalgamated Clothing and Textile Workers Union (ACTWU) forced the textile company J.P. Stevens to sign a contract for the first time in North Carolina and Alabama. Let's talk this epic campaign, made famous by the film Norma Rae!

Why Is Trump Bailing Out Argentina’s President Javier Milei? We speak to Argentine journalist Pablo Calvi about the U.S. government’s multibillion-dollar bailout for Argentina, which could grow from $20 billion to $40 billion as Argentina is rocked by an ongoin...

President Trump's $20 billion bailout of Argentina is meant to bolster his right-wing ally President Javier Milei ahead of legislative elections this month. But the move could "backfire," says journalist Pablo Calvi.

And you can just tell when someone is not a cutie pie.

It ensures a good life.

🛢️ Zenith Energy update 🧵 🛢️

Last week, Oregon DEQ approved Zenith's air permit. DEQ officials argued publicly that the permit represents an improvement in air quality because of supposed concessions.

Instead, adding risk to an already highly risky situation is a betrayal of the public interest.

I recently participated in the third game of TELEPHONE, a game played by artists across the world. The last few months of my life have been difficult but it was a pleasure to be handed a writing project. You can trace my story back through dozens of other art pieces back to the source.

In Oregon nurses and residential care facility workers are SIX times more likely to be injured at work than police.

‘Locked up for 24 years’: joy and sorrow as Palestinian prisoners and detainees return home Nearly 2,000 prisoners and detainees – including about 1,700 people seized from Gaza and held without charge – set free from Israeli jails

‘Locked up for 24 years’: joy and sorrow as Palestinian prisoners and detainees return home

the actual story here, which the media never talks about, is that police in this country have become a discrete right-wing political operation. the story isn't about cops leaving (they're lying about that), it's about the police trying to exert influence over elections.

Trump has begun dismissing federal workers, with furloughed staff at the Department of Health and Human Services now facing permanent layoffs. The cuts are hitting the National Institutes of Health and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention especially hard.

A couple of years ago, the Democrats in the Oregon legislature passed a domestic terrorism law over of the objection of civil liberties advocates, environmentalists, and ordinarily reasonable Oregonians who told them this would only be used against the left.

It fits right in with Trump’s strategy.

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems... SIMON: What? SHAPIRO: ...Or saying... SIMON: You imagine that? SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over. SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level. SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this. SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.
