I've been thinking about the Harris/Walz campaign and how I think it was really important to have had these last 100 days, even--or especially--if we got this (awful) result. I think it mattered like hell that we got to see a vibrant, energetic vision of look out for your neighbor, 1/

While some of the people RFKjr wants to take meds from will be like me and immediately retreat into a black cave we may never emerge from again, I wonder if he has considered the raging power of one single pissed off manic bipolar person. Shit will burn.

Dear manager, please find a review of the past week's activity: 1) hammered in the morning 2) hammered in the evening 3) hammered out danger 4) hammered out a warning 5) hammered out love between my brothers and my sisters, all over this land

Stop reposting this. It's wrong. The news out of Yosemite is horrific, but this is incorrect. (Former Yosemite ranger here, still connected to folks in the park.) About a dozen employees in Yosemite have lost their jobs. There are still approximately 400 employees in Yosemite.

Listening to this Horace Tapscott/Michael Session for the first time in years. What a great recording—both playing as if they're thinking about beautiful things while getting farther & farther out, loveliness lurking even when it gets loud. horacetapscottmichaelsession.bandcamp.com/album/horace...

i'm so close to standing on the side of the road barefoot wearing a sandwich board that says the end is nigh, like i'm just looking for the right hat at this point

I am against this. The Yankees are the Universal Villains, the Cobra Kai (original version) or the Omega Theta Phi fraternity of Baseball. They should be clean shaven, perfectly tailored, and physically intimidating. Then they get beaten by mutts and misfits. It is The Way.

In the depths of the Nebraskan winter, 2400 people came out to listen to Bernie Sanders in Omaha last night. 800 had to be turned away at the door. Over 190,000 tuned into the livestream. There is a movement to be harnessed here. @sanders.senate.gov (📸 Anna Bahr)

To celebrate the (belated) two-year anniversary of ENDPAPERS, I'm re-sharing the reading list I loved putting together for @electriclit.bsky.social. I hope you'll check out some of these amazing novels about finding purpose and identity through someone else! electricliterature.com/9-novels-abo...

I want a motion sensor on my gravestone that plays the opening to 'Thriller' when people walk past.

The monsters under the bed asked if they could sleep with me tonight because it’s so cold

Yes, and the Dutch colonial and slaving projects can always use more light. Suriname, bordered by Spanish & French colonies on east and west & Portuguese Brazil on the South + Antilles. Decimating native populations and environments, and importing kidnapped Africans was their tech boom.

Costco and Trader Joes are yin and yang. Together they form a harmonious balance. One sells big piles of normal food, the other sells small piles of weird food. These are the two food piles people need

It's not enough to castigate Nate Silver for being an annoying cretin with terrible ideas. We have to find anyone left who still takes him seriously and bring them to justice.

The City of Boston is leading 40+ mayors, cities, and counties in an amicus brief against the Trump Administration's drastic and illegal cuts to federal research funding—cuts that will lead to immediate job losses nationwide.

I will vote for the first candidate who tells me they're going to make the biggest government possible. Reacher-sized agencies. Braun Strowman-level social benefits. Government so big it starts belching out National Parks and free healthcare. Chungus State.
