To be fair Amish farmers buy groceries because they are largely not engaged in subsistence farming. But also yes, it has been a long goddamned time since one farm produced everything a family eats. Things you will buy include sweeteners (sugar or honey), salt, and spices (most are tropical).

Alright because this is popping up more and more- the situation in Gaza (and I don’t say this lightly) is the worst it’s been. People are being constantly displaced, no aid has gotten in for weeks and I’ve known more people have relatives die this week than any other week since it started.

About 5.8% of the American workforce is the trucking industry. 10.3% is involved broadly in transport and warehousing. One in ten employed Adult American Men drives a truck for a living. This will be a catastrophic collapse.

An example of why American news doesn’t get Canada. @nytimes.com 🎁 article states PM Carney has won a full term. He has not. If it’s a minority Liberal government, it could fall at any time. Americans: get Canadian news about Canada - it’s accurate. #Canada www.nytimes.com/live/2025/04...

NEW from @nytimes.com: A bone-chilling account. A Venezuelan man detained alongside the 238 sent to El Salvador on March 15 seems to have disappeared off the face of the earth. His name isn't among the names of those sent to CECOT that day and no one spotted him among those men. He's just... gone.

it's important this go as viral as the original story for morale purposes if nothing else. despite the image they project these people are NOT unaccountable. consequences CAN be forced. focused anger and outrage MATTERS.

Someone should tell RFK Jr that Emily Dickinson is suspected to have been autistic & one of the most prolific poets of all time. His mischaracterization of autistic people shows him to be hateful, ignorant & uninformed. More than that, we ALL have value. Evaluating “worth” shouldn’t be a spectrum

Recently saw someone asking for a "White Mirror" show that would celebrate all the good things that technological advancement can give humanity and, my brother in Kahless, there are ELEVEN Star Trek series and THIRTEEN movies. We're good. We're beyond good. Though I could use more #LowerDecks.

It is unbelievable, but also a reflection on the cowardice of much of the western media. And the efficacy of the Israeli tactic of just wholesale murdering Palestinian journalists.

Yesterday RFK Jr said we will know the causes of autism by September then eliminate the contaminants (or something). Today is the day you pitch local media to say: here’s what we know, it’s complicated, RFK Jr is lying. File by Monday morning.
