Not a doctor. Not a scientist. No. A longtime heroin addict and current steroid enthusiast who perjured himself in confirmation hearings in order to pursue a twisted agenda that will kill more Americans than Osama Bin Laden.

This is remarkable. New Quinnipiac poll finds support for path to legalization for most undocumented immigrants has risen to 64%. Only 31% want most of them deported. That's a 14 point net swing for legalization since Trump took office. On immigration generally, he's at 41-57!

Building my dream house and stocking my dream library. After that, I'm traveling the world. I'm also taking all the damn trips to the doctor's, LOL

They're going amazing. I'm happy at my current job, I may be getting a pay raise soon, I've healed from a platonic breakup, and I'm reading more than ever. I'm also incredibly close to finishing my bachelor's.

This is a horrifying ruling that shows a disdain for basic human rights principles — made all the more unconscionable by the fact that the Republican appointees did so with no reasoning and on the shadow docket.

How are you going to make a post encouraging more critique in the BookTok community for reading sloppy work, but then take offense when I (gently and respectfully, mind you) criticise the quality of your writing, get upset at me?

Good morning, I was just casually checking out my books for dust and insects, as one does, when I stumbled upon Mitch Albom's signature.

The legal profession has had an unaddressed moral rot since the end of the Warren era and the rise of textualism, because: 1. It's arguably the least diverse profession in the US; 2. Everything is an intellectual discourse; 3. The law is seen as an end in itself instead of a means to that end.

Saying there are “too many non-working holidays” on Juneteenth is so on brand for a man who is actively trying to erase Black history. This from the same man who’s wasted over $26 million in taxpayer dollars and spent more than 30 days golfing since January 20, 2025? Please.

Disabled person does something: “You can’t be THAT disabled then, must be lying. You can do anything if you try hard enough” Disabled person does nothing: “You can’t be THAT bad surely? You must be putting it on. You’re just lazy and need to have a positive mindset” Etc… etc…

Dear parents: You see all this stupidity going around? Please read to your kids. Let them see you reading. Keep books around. Buy them books if you can. Show them how cool the library is. Tell them book banning is bad. Make reading part of their lives. It helps make good people.

If you're having trouble encapsulating how the Lot of Fortune relates to one's profession, think of it moreso as one's "trade." What one does to sustain oneself is, in many instances, divorced from what we wish to do. Given that the LOF is, as the name implies, what befalls us, that also includes

The Tea Party protests in April 2009 had about a third of a million people involved, and the political media treated it like a game changer for the Obama presidency. The No Kings rallies were AT LEAST ten times bigger than the Tea Party protests. Will the press keep pretending Trump is popular?

It’s not just that they normalize political violence. They also accuse the left of engaging in mostly imaginary violence, which gives unhinged right-wingers justification to “retaliate.”

it's actually deeply hurtful how so many "colleagues" and "friends" in the astro community immediately stopped talking to me the second I made the PERSONAL decision to convert to Islam. I haven't spoken up about the INCREASING and concerning islamophobia from these norwac types etc but it's sick

Naming someone as "pretentious" or "elitist" for criticizing the quality of the information that we consume — whether it be books, videos, through "educators," etc. — is such a lazy, insecure argument. It's a knee-jerk reaction from people who refuse introspection into their habits.

These amorphous virtues of gentility that certain people love to invoke — nonviolence, civility, respectfulness, peacefulness, maturity — are worse than empty without accounting for differential power. A power differential is the difference between me running into a car, and a car running into me.

BREAKING: A few minutes ago, a vehicle of three people was rammed by a truck belonging to federal immigration authorities in Boyle Heights, CA. According to security footage shown to me, they deployed chemical munitions & detained the driver at gunpoint. All are US citizens according to the wife.

Every flashbang could instead be a meal for a poor kid. Every hotel room for a National Guardsman deployed to fire at our neighbors could house a homeless vet. Every "less-than-lethal" bullet pulled from a journalist's eye could be already needed healthcare for anyone else. All of this is a choice.
