Main character energy is OUT, this summer we’re bringing NPC energy. We’re posted up at the bar dropping lore and suggesting side quests. We’re leaning casually near a locked door and saying “I don’t think you have the key for that” when someone tries the handle. We’re staring at a tree.

I have been logged out of my toothbrush.

For starters, Democrats need to actually field a candidate against Mike Johnson, unlike the 2022 and 2024 campaigns when they let him run unopposed. The odds of unseating him will be long, but use the campaign to put him on defense and make our version of Pierre Poilievre sweat a little.

My thoughts on how journalists should report our time. jenniferschulze.substack.com/p/the-trump-...

"[B]y some estimates, 66 percent of incarcerated people are disabled. ... [T]he kinds of medical records that carceral facilities keep are not usually detailed enough to support a claim for [disability] benefits."

"the worst people you know who also have inordinate power over this dying empire might be having sex with each other" is not something I wish to spend my one wild and precious life on

I am not celebrating this. A world in which the courts save us from the parts of the Trump II program that hurt everyone, while allowing or being powerless to stop the parts that only hurt disfavored minorities, is the worst of all worlds. Americans—all of us—must feel pain for what we’ve done.

Editors, please assign a deep dive piece on the grave damage musk & doge have done to the United States, rather than how he’s feeling about it.

I want to tell a story about voting in 2016 that I suspect is still relevant. I had just moved. I doublechecked my registration and polling place the night before the election so I knew I was clear and I knew where to go. I had a client at the end of the day offer to drive me.

while I knew judges have been getting anonymous 'I know where you live' pizza deliveries, I didn't know til writing this piece on Trump endangering judges that many orders were placed in the name of a judge's son who was murdered by someone posing as a deliveryman ballsandstrikes.org/law-politics...

Don't let this amazing resource get lost or forgotten.

Mercy once calculated that I would need to drive two million miles to emit as much carbon as is emitted by an hour in an F-35 and I think about that every day now. Ending imperialism is literally how we save the planet. The United States military is the largest carbon emitter in the world.

I am so exhausted and angry and sad and scared all the time these days. I’m still going, but goddamn.

college is where all kinds of people escape their parents, which is why the most controlling, narrow minded people on earth are terrified of them. they see their children as property.

we need a Democratic party for the left

I'm so deeply, deeply disappointed that those in power couldn't even manage to not set our house on fire and stop pouring waste in the drinking water. We the people deserved so much better than this. What a tragic waste. Only planet w/ life we know of in the universe, ruined for billionaire greed.

getting really goddamned tired of living in a hypercapitalist technofascist hellscape where i need money to not be made homeless and then incarcerated BUT every corporation is given a free pass to scam me at their whim and there is no meaningful way to hold them accountable, at all

getting a lot of tags on this post and that is fine i understand buckaroos are just tryin to have fun, but please understand this has nothing to do with the tingleverse or my style of writing. automatically equating anal sex (which i do write about) to rape (which i dont write about) is harmful buds

The failure here is one of political judgment; the inability to tell things that are superficially similar (complaints about "elites"), but actually different, apart. One needs to have the courage to interrogate what makes someone an elite against whom populist rage is appropriate. (Doctors aren't)

The feminists are wrong. The Drs are wrong. The biologists are wrong. The Quakers are wrong. The UN is wrong. Helen Joyce is right.

There’s a recent piece —maybe on wire cutter? About a journalist who wore one of the new AI enabled all day recorders. It records your every conversation & transcribes it all day. I just want you to know that once basic social trust is broken in this way? It’s over

A Bronx high school student was abducted by ICE at his immigration court date and has since been disappeared across four states in five days in order to evade contact with his lawyer. The US is now undeniably a rogue state. www.chalkbeat.org/newyork/2025...

Financial reporting is almost completely letting someone who is constantly wrong make a prediction, then writing a headline as if that prediction is true. And that's it. There's almost nothing else. It's like wrestling promos for people who wear ties.

Yeah I 100% believe that if our taxes went to paying people to clean or maintain at a dignified rate commensurate with what police make shit would be spick and span and also people would be safer overall because people being present and attending to things automatically makes spaces safer.

The notable thing about this piece is that the “crisis” it explores is purely one of brand positioning and nobody in it (including the writer) appears to have any moral beliefs outside of that frame.

"[Project Esther] goes so far as to ludicrously equate Karl Marx's Communist Manifesto, Soviet agitprop and Adolf Hitler's Mein Kampf. (The Soviets ... fought against the Nazis in [WW2].) The proposals offered up by Project Esther can also be traced back to [Sen. Joseph McCarthy's] witch hunts."
