A sense of defenselessness, of being unheard and unhelped, has become the common American culture, the thing that unites people on left and right. And we need to understand that deeply if we’re going to stop political violence from spreading further. youtu.be/_VaabzCALlQ?...

I don't know who needs to know this, but Pro Publica has an online thing that will format a letter to your US health insurance company to demand the records behind a claim denial. (which the insurance is then legally required to provide in most cases) projects.propublica.org/claimfile/

So a reminder: It’s not ‘liberals’ saying Hegseth abuses women. It’s his mom. It’s not ‘liberals’ comparing Trump to Hitler. It’s his vice-president. It’s not ‘liberals’ calling Musk a liar and a racist. It’s his own child. For the record.

My mom, as many know, has said some truly unpleasant things to me over the years, but this far surpasses that. While this mother has apologized for that letter, it sounds pretty truthful to me. I cannot imagine ever writing such a thing to my sons unless they deserved it, even at a tense time.

sometimes this app reminds me of a childhood story: when i was 6, i interviewed/tested at a school in LA (john thomas dye). i had to do a reading test, and it was about a bird in the sky. probably because i was nervous, i kept mis-pronouncing sky as “ski”… because of my last name. curtsies

The way we build & grow social networks and apps can amplify and exacerbate the existing inequities in society. But it doesn’t have to be that way. (This piece is from 7 years ago; it’s about how networks are shaped by who gets access.) https://medium.com/humane-tech/network-inequality-3309fb1aac59
