It’s a great pun in Chinese, since it’s pronounced very similarly (in some dialects identically) to an old title for the Emperor: 万税爷 wànshuìyé vs 万岁爷 wànsuìyé (the “Lord of Ten Thousand Years”)

There's been a whole issue over the CA state bar exam for this year. It was a new exam & didn't go well, and now there's this, which adds a whole new level of WTF. arstechnica.com/tech-policy/...

I have a deep aversion to local TV news, but now I am ON it because last year, the power company Arizona Public Service cut off electricity to my mother’s house outside of Phoenix, killing her.

Ten years ago, Pope Francis wrote Laudato Si, his remarkable ecological encyclical. I rushed out to translate the Italian version before the official translation was even published.

Had the day off and drove to a park I hadn’t been to before. A song came up on my playlist with lyrics about being psycho and carrying a big knife as a girl right around the time I drove past a psych hospital and then a juvie facility. Well then.

In mid-March, ICE started detaining immigrants in tent camps in the U.S. for the first time, built by a company once known for operating music festival facilities that is poised to make a fortune on Trump's deportation plans.

Ah yes, that time in a queer person's life where I have to check which Facebook group I'm reading - is this post celebrating someone's first access to prescribed estrogen in a menopause group or a trans/nonbinary group?

I haaaated The Great Gatsby when it was badly taught to me in HS, but this essay makes a compelling & intriguing case for an additional layer to the story that makes it so much more interesting. Whether or not it was intended by the author, reconceptualizing this as a passing novel is fascinating.

Trade deficit. I have bought food from say, Chilis. They have never bought food from me. There is a trade deficit with Chilis. I’m still doing fine. The trade deficit argument SOUNDS compelling, but it’s a straw man with no relevancy

Run the country like a business they said. Ok, then what intelligent company do you know of that doesn't spend 10-20% of its annual budget on R&D. Bc cutting NIG, HHS, ED, etc is gutting America's R&D budget. It's stupid and would get a CEO fired.

if a piece of legislation has a name like "The Protecting Poor Defenseless Children from Evil Online Terrorists and Kidnappers Act of 2025" you can be damn sure that what it actually does is fund facial recognition equipped robo-murder dogs and make it a felony to listen to Chappel Roan in public

The reason DEI exists is so that competent, qualified people don't get passed over in favor of mediocre incompetent white men who had a well-connected buddy. Or so that utter morons who share war plans on the group chat don't hire their brother and get away with it bc they're white dudes.

SCOOP: The Trump admin appears to be going into a visa database to quietly change students' immigration status. It's coming entirely by surprise — setting students up to be detained without warning. It's Mahmoud Khalil & Rumeysa Ozturk — on a wider scale.

Went to the hardware store & perused the carabiner wall, which as a queer person in a flannel shirt, I am obligated to do. I purchased a small selection of fun carabiners & 1 useful one, but drew the line at the 6 inch spring link, since I am not a lesbian and didn’t want to culturally appropriate.

In more personal news, my brain has decided to obsess over hits of the 70s and 80s by Daryl Hall & John Oates, a musical act I was wholly indifferent to and had never listened to on purpose before yesterday. Wtf, brain?!?
