Trump’s latest executive order (that was no doubt written by psychopath RFK Jr.) goes after antidepressants. As someone whose life was saved by them, you will pry my prozac from my cold dead hands. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

Elon Musk’s ❝Department of Government Efficiency❞ mimics private equity — clueless consultants slashing essentials. Tom Krause, who led brutal PE-backed cuts at Citrix, brings familiar devastation. The pattern? Gut, flip, and leave bankruptcy behind. ⤸ www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

TikTok users aren’t actually stupid. Many have noticed the U.S. has failed to meaningfully regulate Elon and Zuckerberg’s loathsome social media platforms. I suspect many think U.S. lawmakers look like shady hypocrites when they rail against Chinese social media but let US companies go feral.

I had a teacher for 10th grad and senior AP English who was obsessed with Hemingway, and this was part of why I loathed the stories/novels. Was very proud to write my AP essay on Long Days Journey Into Night, out of love and spite.
