Retirement age of 75 feels just about perfect to me. It’s either the last year you can run for office or, in the case of the judiciary, the last year to hear cases. Go live your lives and stop running ours!

Fuck’s sake, had NPR on today while picking up pizza and they straight up called the Columbia protests pro-Hamas while reporting on Mahmoud Khalil’s case, what are we even doing here?

Still getting real people on the phone at Angus King’s DC office! Go tell them we see what’s happening and that Mainers don’t take kindly to the kind of bullshit Schumer is peddling!

part of the current story is that the new york state & city democratic party apparatus is so corrupt and sclerotic it's literally helping destroy the country

I called Angus King’s office today and told him this - actually got a real person, which was nice. Confirmation that he’s going to stand up for his constituents would be nicer, though

Y’all, spend your time on this rather than the horrors today. When I tell you this book gave me feelings…

Petty grievance of the day: there are too many damn announcements on planes. I promise, you don’t need to tell us the screen has shows on it, you’re just interrupting us while we’re already browsing the list

"I'm voting for someone who will I know will disobey the constitution and I hope they lose in court" is a hell of a take and I hope whoever's running against her in two years is ready to highlight this with regards to every dollar withheld from Maine

Just note the Democrats could do everything in their power and still fail to stop the fascist administrative coup. I'd still like them to actually DO THAT, though.

We're entering a period where a lot of well-meaning people may spread disinformation, about anti-trans initiatives, about ICE raids, and so on. Yes, we need a grapevine, and people under the gun need to be informed quickly. But that's why it's all the more important that your info is *accurate.*

I get that discoursing things to death and echo chambers are kind of what we do here, but something deeply depressing about how much my feed today is just infighting in the midst of all the other shit we have to deal with right now

the fact that this but not I Saw The TV Glow is what's winning Oscars is a sign that the Oscar critics are bad at their job

I've been talking with the real Mariann Budde today and she has told me that this account is a fake. She asks our assistance in taking it down. @mariannedgarbudde.bsky.social

If you won’t unequivocally call it a Nazi salute, you’re a collaborationist and don’t deserve to be a journalist.

Not lost on me that it's nonprofit tech, app.watchduty.org, showing up & actually working in the midst of the LA fires (donate to them!) Meanwhile platforms fail to surface key news, vital info is paywalled... As I've been saying, we need a new tech paradigm, yesterday!

We are so far up the ass of late-stage capitalism that people have forgotten the difference between a business and a public service.

Maybe I’m just not in tune with the right circles, but I really don’t understand why there’s not a serious movement for a constitutional amendment to set an age limit for public office at 70 or 75 or so
