Shout out to the novelists, text heavy game makers, visual novelists, and comic writers, anyone who still writes stuff for others to read for entertainment. Because man we thought critical thinking and literacy were bad ten years ago and that's before people started willingly opting out of thinking

Sending people to foreign prisons isn’t a debate about immigration policy. Telling private universities who they must hire and what they must teach isn’t about antisemitism. Destroying the economy thru tariffs isn’t about revitalizing American industry. It’s all about power and domination.

made red lentil tofu tonight, so that's cool. we'll have an additional very cheap protein source that isn't soy and i'm kinda excited for it! really want to throw it into some indian-style curries and stir fries

if someone can explain why the stimulation simulator on neal.fun puts me to sleep, that would be fantastic Like, it's one of the most effective sleep aids for me. tf is this nonsensery

This is not an exaggeration: illegally gutting this program will cause Americans to freeze to death in their homes.

On a plane I re-watched, for the first time in decades, a film about an undocumented immigrant couple working hard to achieve the American dream: a house, a family, friends, a small business - only to be stalked by immigration decades later. It’s CONEHEADS. Fuckin CONEHEADS hits real hard in 2025.

PSA: 1. If you are not silly, it is vital you become silly 2. If you are silly, you must stay silly 2. If you used to be silly but have stopped, you must make all efforts to return to silliness

I've started to feel a bit better since making a point to take care of myself. Which is no small feat rn

John Roberts is not "rebuking" Donald Trump. He's bending the knee. If you listen to what Roberts is *not* saying, you'll see he's telling Trump exactly what he wants to hear. We've seen this before from another Chief Justice, in Marbury v. Madison. My latest in @thenation.com
