I'm partway into a book that received a bunch of accolades last year and it's feeling like a slog. I can't tell if I'm just a lazy millennial who doesn't like hard things or if the book is actually too much of a slog?

So if you criticize Elon Musk, Trump’s DOJ will send you this letter. Members of Congress must have the right to forcefully oppose the Trump Administration. I will not be silenced.

BREAKING — I've confirmed the DOGE staffers at SSA. They are Marko Elez (who was previously fired for racist posts and then reinstated), Ethan Shaotran, Nikhil Rajpal, and Gautier Cole-Killian. This is per Social Security Works, a non-profit working to protect/expand Social Security.

The DOGE firings have nothing to do with “efficiency” or “cutting waste.” They’re a direct push to weaken federal agencies perceived as liberal. This was evident from the start, and now the data confirms it: targeted agencies overwhelmingly those seen as more left-leaning. 🧵⬇️

Okay sleep apnea babes, what kind of cleaner/sanitizer do you use for your CPAP gear? I currently wipe all the bits down but I'd love something I could use to clean and sanitize the hose and tank and everything.

I feel stealth at the doctor when they ask me questions about sexual habits and ask "just with men"? And I don't want to do gender 101 or sexuality 201 and I get what they're asking so I just say yes

I wrote my strongly worded letter to Target. They must reinstate DEI to get my business back. It seems possible that it will go ignored, so I also published it here, and tagged Target in it on LinkedIn. Which could also go ignored, but you can also email them: [email protected].

I keep seeing this. Guys, their literal job is to figure out what to do. They are not helpless even if they are not the majority. I really hope we can stop treating some of the most powerful people in the world as helpless and without sentience.

What I really want from AI is the ability to detect, and block from my page, pictures of those fascist motherfuckers' faces. Because I hate their ugly faces and don't want to look at them.

Fuck it. I'm gonna write a strongly worded letter to Target.

I am once again convinced that the average tenured faculty member is a fucking coward. You have tenure. If you can be removed because you spoke against a fascist administration, you can be removed for any reason. Stop relying on students and non-tenured employees to do the work for you.

If you find yourself in the presence of a Democratic politician at some point in the next 2 days could you do me a favour & ask them "What the actual fuck do you all think you're doing, and when are you going to actually try to stop the onrushing tide of white supremacist fascism?" much appreciated

I think people disliked your article because its core argument is asinine! We're not upset about the mechanism by which Trump renamed the Gulf of Mexico,we're upset because it is unilateral, absurd & racist. Authoritarians often use legal means for nefarious ends, we all know this. Why don't you?
