I remember being 17 and about 130 lbs riding those subways at all hours of the day and night in the 1980's when NYC was about 50x scarier than now. Grow the fuck up.

It's been noted that the last time stocks fell this sharply, we were in the midst of a global health pandemic. To which I say, please be patient. by Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.

Every so often, it just comes back to me in full force. The political and economic order that allowed this man to come to power is obviously no longer tenable. The leaders who let it happen obviously have to be replaced. This is an epoch defining failure and we have to turn the page completely.

I’m not judging individual scholars for leaving the US for theoretically safer universities. I’m judging the rest of you for not noticing or caring that roughly 75% of your adjunctified colleagues have neither the putative protection of academic freedom nor the means to leave.

Hey, your "nothing's going to happen" reply has been seen and *deeply* deeply appreciated. If you'd like to go sit in the corner with your depressing doomerism while the rest of us try to make something happen, that'd be terrific. No, no, a little farther away. Keep going.

The only things that matter for a political party are whether it can deliver the fucking goods when it’s in power and whether it will fight the opposition when it’s not. If it can’t do those things it’s fucking worthless.

If the Senate Democrats do this, yes, it’s a massive betrayal of their base and an unconscionable abdication of their duty. Every single one of them who’s complicit in this scheme needs to be driven out of politics forever.

my dad was a diabetic who was uninsured for most of his adult life and often couldn’t get the meds and treatments he needed to control his disease. we never voted the same way. but that doesn’t mean he deserved to die at 67. some of you sound just as broken as the people you want to beat.
