True story: When I was a contractor at a NASA facility I kept M&Ms on my desk. A civil servant I worked with ate a few one day. The next day I came in to find a pound bag on my desk. He wanted to "reimburse" me because he didn't want the few he ate to be seen as a gift. Anyway

I just saw a woman sitting alone at the food court in Costco, wearing plastic gloves, eating a rotisserie chicken directly out of the bag. I’m going to be thinking about her for a while.

I just really need everybody to understand that everything that’s happening in and to the global economy now (and all the businesses and people in it) is the entirely predictable result of the intentional decisions of one guy who doesn’t understand how the global economy works.

Just sayin', as someone who grew up Catholic: if you can call the new pope by his chosen name instead of the name he was assigned at birth, you can do the same for the trans folks in your life. It's a sign of respect in both cases.

NPR receives $2-3M/year in federal funding. PBS receives $80-85M. The military-themed birthday parade Trump is throwing himself will cost taxpayers $92M. We’re told cutting news and kids programming to fund an authoritarian birthday bash somehow “makes America great again”

Heads-up to fellow Peloton folks especially newbie @502eire.lol — I reflexively returned a high five from someone before I noticed they had #Trump2024 in their profile and then I wished I hadn’t. I will happily cheer you on in your riding but if I know you still support that guy, it feels bad.

Something I hope everyone covers this tomorrow notes is that...the President has no authority whatsoever to make trade deals without congress. None. Not even the pretext of one.

just so we’re all clear: the reason they keep using dolls as their example is because they’re trying to frame caring about material stuff as feminine and thus inherently shameful

Energy Star was created under George Bush in 1992. It’s helped save households and businesses $500M+ in energy costs and prevented 4B metric tons of greenhouse gases from being released into the atmosphere. The EPA under Trump plans to kill it. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/06/c...
