It was a good theory: That calling Elon "President Musk" would get under Trump's famously thin skin, causing division. But it's not working. I have a theory why — and it helps explain why Republicans in Congress are okay with giving up power, too. www.salon.com/2025/02/07/w...

This is what the government did with 120K+ Japanese Americans in 1942. I know. I was there in those camps.

From sunrise to the moment my head hits the pillow at night, I’m out there kindnessmaxxing. Just compassion grinding non-stop with a phenomenal ROI: my heart is twelve times the size it’s supposed to be. Doctors are freaked out.

Elon Musk's salute is a standard-issue far-right trolling tactic. I call it fascist peekaboo, and explain how it works here. But it's not working so well this time. I explain how progressives and the press are getting smarter on how to respond. www.salon.com/2025/01/22/e...

The year is 2035. I meet President AOC in the Oval Office. "You've done well," she says. "By telling men to dress gay, you've lowered the population rate by 90%, thereby reducing carbon emissions." She slides me a manilla envelope. I can now afford a home in a walkable neighborhood

I can see already this is gonna be one people repost and comment on without reading. I dislike that Bluesky is going in this direction. Read stuff, folks! Let's not let this turn into the same sewer of short-term and shallow thinking that Twitter was.

A lot of things suck in this lifetime, but I remember when the thought of this was incomprehensible. This is beautiful.

I would be grateful if y’all could repost this for the evening crowd. Had a book come out today. People seem to like it. We definitely still need your help to make it a success. It’s a great read, a great gift (for others or yourself). And I can’t write without you. :)
