This is a really good thread about “abundance” and how we are all discoursing about dumb stuff. You don’t have to be anti-labor to be pro-transit and crypto has nothing to do with YIMBYism. The conflation of all of it together has been part of the reason I’ve been so confused by it all.

I would just like to mention again, though it's like the thousandth time, how much I love our electric car

there is, I am learning, little more stressful than attempting to copyedit something written by someone you know for a fact is generally smarter and has better content-knowledge than you

Okay I gotta log back off this shit on my phone lol my self control is nil

NEW: Judge Burroughs GRANTS Harvard's request for a TRO blocking the Trump admin from barring its international students from entering the United States. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

lol

okay I've now seen my first totally earnest "it's misogynistic to say 'the girls are fighting' about trump and musk" take and I do feel like that's a good stopping point for today; we'll pick this all back up tomorrow

lmfao

I think, at this point, the pro-wrestling framing is actively toxic for the understanding of politics in the US. The fundamental truth about wrestling is that it is mostly fake. The fundamental truth about politics is that it is mostly real.

Tesla cracks $277 after hours as horrified investors try to evaluate the Götterdämmerung type outlook. It was $362 on Friday.

The argument that Musk might face *personal* liability for some of the shit he did in government should get renewed interest right about now.

Does this make you want to hold more or fewer dollar assets?

very curious if/how this affects the afrikaner “refugee” program

okay but I do think that there is potentially something significant in musk using his attention-getting power to force conservative audiences to think through their ostensible aversion to deficits/big government/whatever does have to sway them all

this is the thing about two guys with incalculable amounts of power and, again, NO capacity for deescalation

deeply sensible of the shortness and uncertainty of life

The thing is, I have no particular reason to believe that either one of them has interest in, and/or capacity for, deescalation of any kind whatsoever

i'm starting to see some scoldy posts pointing out that we are laughing about a fire on the deck of our sinking ship and i have to be honest once the ship started sinking i decided i would take the laughs where i found them

O Lord, they fight! I will go call the watch.

Apropos of nothing I feel like one of the most important things to help your kids develop is an ability to self-regulate.

writing this down so I can tap it periodically to remind myself: it’s still abuse of power even if I think the target and the outcome are both very funny

I logged on on my phone to post the Al Ahli donation link but WHAT a day to be on socials for

Al Ahli Arab Hospital has been attacked again. They continue to serve all people in need in Gaza. You can donate to their lifesaving work here: afedj.org/give/give-on...

At least three journalists have been killed in an Israeli attack on the Anglican Al-Ahli Hospital in Gaza, it was reported on Thursday. The Archbishop of York has joined the Archbishop in Jerusalem, Dr Hosam Naoum, in condemning the incident

given that wisconsin said that catholic charities would qualify for the religious exemption if they were willing to proselytize or to restrict their charitable work to roman catholics, this seems like the obviously-correct ruling on first amendment grounds

I moved all the branches we cut off overgrown trees and hedges last weekend and mowed the whole backyard even though its 10000% humidity outside, bc it's going to rain for four days starting tomorrow, please clap

me, any time I read anything kathryn tanner has written: "I love kathryn tanner"

A major in the IDF ordered his subordinates to shoot Palestinians even if they waved white flags. Even though the military police have yet to investigate the incident, the officer has just been promoted to battalion commander.

I ask your prayers for the repose of the soul of the Rev. Jackie Means, the first woman regularly ordained to the priesthood in the Episcopal Church. Below is a statement from the Bishop of Indianapolis. Requiem aeternam dona ei, Domine, et lux perpetua luceat ei. ⚓

The profile for the search for the next bishop of Los Angeles is live. We would love to have a diverse slate of candidates so if you or someone you know might be a good fit, nominate them or encourage them to apply! You can reach out to me directly with any questions. Applications due June 27. #TEC
