Indie Bookstore Day is one of the most important days for your community’s bookstores. Punkass Amazon decided Apr 23 - 28 was when they needed to have their “Book Sale”. It is designed to snuff out Indie Bookstore Day on April 26.

It should be an actual law that if you defend your possible decision to try staying a senator until 87 years old by arguing you can still eat solid food you should be disqualified from running for office right then and there

I just want to stay alive long enough to be a popcorn vendor on the street outside our version of the Nuremberg trials

I love my city.

It is becoming unbelievably difficult to stay both informed and sane

More in No, Other People: New poll: “America would be better off if more people worked in manufacturing.” • 80% of Americans agree • 20% disagree “I would be better off if I worked in a factory.” • 25% of Americans agree • 73% disagree • 2% currently work in a factory

If you ever have the opportunity to fly Avelo Airlines—don’t.

Deporting people means a judge signs a final deportation order, and the person is returned to their own country. What we are doing is kidnapping a person off the street and paying for them to be held indefinitely in concentration camps outside US courts' jurisdiction. 100% deliberately extralegal.

Printed books: a cheap form of entertainment and enrichment that doesn’t surveil you back. Tell your kids.

News flash: preferring a personal pat-down is pretty gay.

Two things can be horribly true at the same time. In this case: A) At least 75% of the Venezuelans sent to the Salvadorian concentration camp have no criminal history. B) This doesn't matter in an important sense, since NO ONE received due process. NOT A SINGLE ONE OF THEM should be there.

Unfollowing people who feel the need to liveblog every detail of certain TV shows when I'm not going to get to watch it until tomorrow.

How capitalism actually works: American product: $10 Chinese knockoff: $9 <Trump tariffs> Chinese knockoff now: $15 American product now also $15 for some reason.

Straight down seems bad

Me. I derive quite a lot of joy from that, actually. It makes me feel remarkably better. Kind of like petting a puppy, or taking a midday nap in the sun. Just pure endorphins and glee.

honestly we need talented people in congress

Used to be a regular Target shopper. Now, I haven't been to a Target since early January.

The Massachusetts governor, the city, and the university needs to drop everything to locate and free this girl and make sure this doesn't happen again. This is DEFCON-1. If they do this to someone who wrote an op-ed in a college newspaper, they will do this to anyone they don't like.

“Sometimes I ask myself, is everyone else on the bombing Yemen group chat except me?”

White House says no one will be fired over the Signal scandal because no one involved was trying to cure cancer.

So apparently a new gay bar is opening in Long Beach. Its name will be "Men's Room". Jesus Christ, it's 2025. Maybe a little tone-deaf?

If you’ve ever checked who’s on a group chat, you are overqualified to be the Secretary of Defense.

But her emails...

The dish I made for our Severance finale watch party, but also appropriate for a workplace ORTBO, these marshmallow-topped Krispie treats took more time and effort than was really necessary. But it was worth it, because we're team players. Praise Kier!

Martin Niemoller: first they came for the socialists... Dem consultants: our polls suggest we should also come for the socialists!!
