I do think charging people for early check-in when the room is ready regardless is tacky behavior from hotels.

Every artist I know is really struggling right now. Financially, emotionally, their confidence, in general. If you like an artist's work, support them any way you can. Buying their stuff or subscribing to their Patreon is great, but words of encouragement are also incredibly helpful.

I need everyone to be crystal clear that this is a continuation of RFK and the wellness community’s *obsession* with the elimination of the disabled and the chronically ill. They are disgusted by us, they view illness and disability as weakness, and they believe in using eugenics to disappear us.

coming this holiday season

I think it’s not helpful to repeat claims that the administration is working on eliminating “DEIA” as though it’s some kind of corporate strategy; just say explicitly that they’re trying to eliminate diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility, and explain how.

When it comes to neurodivergence, the only “cure” I can think of is to stamp it out at the genetic level. So…eugenics. That is clearly the logical endpoint of the White House’s stance, and Erin is right

My ultimate goal here is to say that Musk is leading an internal insurrection against the Constitution of the United States, and anyone who collaborates with him, accommodates him, or fails to act on their authority to arrest or stop him, has violated their oath under Section 3, 14A.

DOGE has been sending their mass emails from a misconfigured server, causing DOGE emails to fail SPF (Sender Policy Framework) validation. This means that agencies are probably marking DOGE emails as spam.

Flashbacks to the stats in BG3 Early Access where almost every single player pursued at least one romance. People may not ADMIT to wanting sex and romance in games, but their behavior says otherwise, basically every time.

I don’t think a single private citizen who is unelected should have full access to the federal government with zero oversight or accountability actually. Seems like a bad thing.

This is called theft.

At the Long Beach Tesla Takedown, lots of folks out here (I’d estimate probably 40-50 so far) and lots of support from cars driving by. Come out and join!

This is 100% correct — I have heard the Silicon Valley money guys admit as much out loud, about *all* of these fools.

all else aside this is some classic dumb guy management, just absolutely stupid time and resource wasting incompetent boss shit

To recap, a person the DOJ was arguing wasn’t in a position of responsibility is now ordering federal employees to respond to file a weekly progress report or be terminated — www.politico.com/news/2025/02...

I don't even think it's out of hatred so much as it is about making a SPECTACLE of immiserating and psychologically torturing workers. It's a core part of his brand, and should be understood as a branding exercise.

This is a good piece which ends up making an all too familiar point: American Jewish organizations are leashed to the donors, and the donors -- generally conservative and Zionist -- are not at all shy about yanking the chain

"The crowd again started shouting 'tax Elon,' 'tax the wealthy,” “tax the rich' and 'tax the billionaires.'" The county went 68% for Trump www.lagrandeobserver.com/news/local/r...

Big protest coming to Stonewall National Monument in just an hour or two. If you are in the area, get down there, be active, show your disapproval of the removal of transgender people from all online websites for the Stonewall National Monument page!

Elon is hiring criminals to work for DOGE because it is a criminal conspiracy

Last night's Pentagon massacre is much more than realized. Not just firing the black CJCS and first woman CNO but all the senior JAG officers and hiring a man who just joined 3 different crypto firms tied to Kushner and Thiel as Chairman. I did a deep dive into it open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

I don’t understand how there’s any debate about whether to characterize them as Nazis when they’re out here sieg heiling. It’s an absolute failure of messaging not to name and condemn this behavior, and build a narrative around it.

People celebrate Luigi Mangione for essentially the same reason people celebrate Daniel Penny and the society that produces the former will produce a lot more of the latter.

People loved Baby Face Nelson and Dillinger and Bonnie and Clyde, too. None of this is new. When the society itself has failed so many, so flagrantly, and the powers that be keep it going at great expense and obvious villainy, it's what happens. I don't support what he did, but it's not so simple.

Absolutely begging liberals to understand how political change happens. Literally no political progress in this nation has ever happened without violence. It's fine to dislike violence (I'm not a huge fan myself), but this kind of hand wringing is just apolitical, ahistorical nonsense

Are "more people" CEOs? My friend wants to know

Just gonna leave this bit about John Dillinger here, and remind folks that criminal folk heroes are as American as Apple Pie and Racism—you have to own up to the good and the bad.

This is the most wretched campaign of deliberate, explicit persecution the United States has perpetrated against a minority group in decades. Many of the most important people in politics and journalism are busying themselves trying to figure out how little to say or do about it.

every nazi deserves only one thing:

Don’t post front facing pictures of yourself maskless at protests. Don’t post front facing pictures of other people maskless at protests. **Especially** ppl of color. Seeing that all over with the Tesla stuff. You eagerly wanting to be seen doing something endangers both yourself and others.

Showing up to a town hall and registering your disgust with DOGE is the best thing you can do right now.

not just the government, but this government, specifically

real possibility the state of oregon will not have a single federal republican member of congress by the time the next midterms are settled

You know what to do. Make him famous

I'll say it again purging the highest ranks of the military and replacing them with retired loyalists is what you do directly before you deeploy the military against the domestic population and our allies abroad.

This is shameful.

I've said often, based on history, that there's no reasonable expectation most people will be courageous in the face of fascism. Bravery is rare. It's valued for a reason: Most people aren't cut out for it, for reasons good and bad. But man, you'd still sorta hope the ABA woulda held the line.
