Apparently my contribution to Paris culture is inspiring "balcony fridge". My across the walk street neighbor has taken it to Costco storage bevvy levels 😆.

I woke up to freshly made perfect purple sweet potato rice because I set my Zojirushi timer last night and have never felt more successful at adulting.

Again, Jews were less than 1% of the German population in 1933.

Say no to Prime It's owned by a slime.

Fox News reported that JD Vance had to move to an “undisclosed location” due to protests at the Vermont resort where he’s skiing this weekend. For inflicting misery on the world and here at home in America, this is exactly the energy that should greet Vance wherever he goes for the rest of his days.

Hey! Don't forget *NOT* to use the iOS Patreon app to buy things or subscribe to memberships because the app store now has a 30% fee which either the creator is covering themselves or is increasing the price on whatever you're buying (patreon emailed me today to tell me I could choose which)

No flying until conditions improve.

As this article notes, immigrants, particularly Haitian immigrants, are the backbone of the human services industry in Massachusetts. If these folks are deported, it will exacerbate an existing staffing crisis and reduce quality of care for tens of thousands of people.

I went to the tesla protest for a thing I'm working on and I talked to several onlookers - not protesters - and asked them what they knew about Elon and Doge and I'm telling you people don't know

The NYC Democratic Primary is ranked choice. DO NOT rank Cuomo. DO NOT rank Adams. Thanks.

Also, Cuomo almost single-handedly cost Dems the House. He let the GOP gerrymander NY’s Senate to thwart progressives, pushed through an amendment to try to block future Dem maps, & chose conservative judges who blocked Dems from gerrymandering after 2020 while the GOP ruthlessly drew TX, FL, etc.

“Here’s a fact that should appall New York voters, especially women: You paid for Cuomo’s lawyers to seek the gynecological records of an accuser. Why? It’s a good question that voters should ask the candidate as he makes the rounds.”

Vermont showed up to sour Vance’s ski vacay! ❤️ Photos by a friend

WHOA. Confirmed this is real and live— get it while you can, kids.

HEY EVERYONE REMEMBER WHEN TRUMP WAS IMPEACHED FOR DENYING AID TO UKRAINE BECAUSE HE WANTED ZELENSKY TO LIE AND SAY BAD THINGS ABOUT BIDEN AND ZELENKSY WOULDN’T DO IT? Maybe literally one fucking American newspapers could mention this in their, “think pieces,” about what happened yesterday.

Learned the hard way why you only buy bread for what you eat day-to-day in Paris! It's bc at 95% humidity everything goes moldy 😓.

local egg prices, meanwhile, remain stable

Join me in not buying stuff. Don’t think of this as a one-time thing, protest is a muscle… let’s start exercising it. Baby steps here, let’s do 10min on the treadmill.

My undergrad thesis was on what happens when people don’t get the proper weather warnings, focusing on the 1938 Great New England Hurricane. The work @noaa.gov and @nws.noaa.gov is essential. These people save lives and infrastructure. Nothing can replace their passion and dedication. Such a loss.

Per Dr Atul Gawande, ex USAID: “All malaria supplies protecting 53 million people, mostly children, including bed nets, diagnostics, preventive drugs, and treatments – terminated.” There are no words that sufficiently describe this level of cruelty and sadism.

Here's the best thing I ever read about Gene Hackman, by @rbuas.bsky.social at @flaminghydra.com flaminghydra.com/gene-hackman...

We are having the worst flu season in 15+ yrs & staring down an avian flu threat that has already spread unchecked in other mammals and taken American life Our government response is to cancel planning for the next flu shot, cancel funding for bird flu vaccines & treatments, & cut Medicaid coverage

a bunch of the stuff currently being cancelled right now will end up being contracted out at 4x the cost in 6-12 months.

DOGE looking for $880M in "waste" reminds me of cops having quotas, which they swear they don't have. 🙃 I saw a clip on the news of a cop, angrily letting slip that he had 30 more traffic stops to do. Are you a cop from Minority Report? Can you see the future?...No?...

NEW — House Republicans are putting the brakes on town halls after blowback over the Trump administration's cuts. One GOP aide said House Republican leaders are urging lawmakers to stop engaging in them altogether. www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...

This exactly who this will attract. They’ll be lined up.

Tell everyone you know — DON’T RANK CANDIDATES YOU DON’T WANT

Always deeply relevant

Regular White House reporters would never do anything this courageous.

Stealing the tax money we paid for disaster relief from us and instead using it to rip out EV chargers from government facilities.

No more flying in America until conditions improve.

These are just coincidental near miss fatal air collisions. Coincidentally, we no longer have air traffic controllers.
