Coming into the weekend here so... I just this moment learned that Reynolds (Queen Charlotte/Bridgerton) is actually alive. I did all that gay crying for nothing??? Does Shonda Rhimes know what she did to the queers with that love story and making us think he died? 😭

Astonishing crowd inside Manhattan Criminal Court two hours before Luigi Mangione’s follow-up appearance. Organized chaos, people are in cordoned-off gaggles down the full length of the hall, chatting casually. Feels reminiscent of fans waiting for a concert ticket line to open.

Hey everyone. Come see how good the case of Nicolas de Zúñiga looks. He was so good at prison breaks, he was sent to the inquisition for making a pact with the devil. I. Am. Obsessed.

Day 3 of Tulsa being shut down for winter weather. I get it, the south doesn’t have winter infrastructure. But my northern mountain self is losing my damn mind in this house. I am not the work from home type.

Hello, office of [CONGRESSPERSON’S NAME]! This is [YOUR NAME] from [CITY OR TOWN]. I’m calling to ask about [CONGRESSPERSON]’s stance on simply putting an end to this hellscape of a world and allowing humanity to fade into the black abyss of nonexistence.

HEADS UP! We need to give this story more attention. This is the next phase - investigations of those who criticize Trump, Musk or SCOTUS. It’s already started. It is a campaign of intimidation designed to silence criticism. wapo.st/3X8d75G

For all the frustration with Ds, the single most important variable right now is the number of GOP congresscritters who are more afraid of Trump than of voter backlash. If you have a GOP representative or Senator, you should be calling their offices all the time (without a mass script).

If the US blocks access to HRT, ADHD drugs, and SSRIs, I cannot begin to describe to you how much all of the tech sector will screech to a halt. The internet is built and maintained by trans people, people with chronic depression, and the neurodivergent. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

fascinating to hear Canadians talk about sitting back and benefiting from a US academic brain drain given the abject state of most Canadian universities (and the determinedly hostile environment Quebec universities now present to most foreigners, thanks to provincial policy)

I'm just saying: Adams is the worst and has been for a long time. If you're a New Yorker, call Hochul and tell her he has to go. This is the closest she's signaled to actually doing it: let's push her over the top. 1-518-474-8390

Instead of learning how to use AI, just read more books at the library. You’ll be smarter for it. Libraries are sites of community and learning that AI could never replicate. Billionaires aren’t just immoral, but they’re dumb too.

If you're an elected Dem and your entire resistance plan is to just post on Twitter and Bluesky until midterms to roll around: you are actively accelerating the destruction of our democracy and you're as big of a problem as Musk. Just resign and let someone who will fight every day take your place.

Beginning our sections of Inquisition and Judaism in the Americas and well, they got to read Cohen’s 1972 essay, heretofore referred to by my students as “Hey, Liebman…”
