Serious question, how may of these people are out there? Because that’s all these dudes seem to talk about, “the able-bodied individual with no dependents or sickness” that just doesn’t work

Found an old New Yorker published on 1 September 2008. In it I found this article by James Surowiecki about the Global Financial Crisis that was just getting rolling. He used variants of "uncertainty" many times for many rhymes. @carlquintanilla.bsky.social #JameSurowiecki

Good Morning, friends. Some early morning excitement at the casa. The nursery was missing one of the littles. I assume it got separated. This is what it sounds like when the crew calls one of their own after they get lost. #mountainlife #elkmagic

I’m devastated to hear my friend of 50 years has passed. Just spoke to her 2 days ago & she was her usual feisty, hysterically funny self. This is a hard one. I was her 1st house guest in her new home in 1975 & helped her paint her NYC apartment. Just heartbroken. So hard to lose old friends.💔💔💔

Guns aren’t America’s favorite tool for self-defense, they are America’s favorite tool for self-destruction.

A corrupt system is when you need 60 Senate votes to protect voting rights, universal healthcare, reproductive rights, climate justice, lgbtq rights, immigration justice, and a living wage—but only 51 votes to strip them all away. #BigScamBill 1/3

We were just suspended without warning from threads and Instagram. We have no idea why. If any of y’all are on those apps and want to let them know to fix that we would be appreciative.

Worth a watch: Head of Signal, Meredith Whittaker, on so-called "agentic AI" and the difference between how it's described in the marketing and what access and control it would actually require to work as advertised.

He came from a fake boardroom, ran a fake charity, a fake university, faked his net worth, faked Time magazine covers, lied about crowd sizes, and ran on a fake law and order stance. Now we’re stuck in the rerun of a rigged reality show.

An addled president is shredding the Constitution to usher in white nationalism and fascism while destroying the economy and our health care, so if you’re going to write an alarmist op-ed because a mayoral candidate might open five (5) city-run grocery stores, you can kindly get bent.

Finally a corporation is reacting to what’s happening here. Don’t be surprised that it’s not a car company or a shampoo brand. They’re all still pretending that life is normal. It’s a bookstore. Barnes and Noble fills their store display windows with Orwell’s 1984 and Atwood’s Handmaid’s Tale.
