A lifetime of hearing US politicians solemnly intone about the glories of the constitution and the sacredness of law. Now they don’t even have the post 9/11 fig leaf. The whole vast military machinery is the plaything of a senile old man and his corrupt circle and most of them don’t care

It’s so hard for locally-owned venues. Go out more. See more bands. Netflix will be there when you get back.

If a modern-day Dante were writing modern day Inferno, insurance executives have an entire ring to themselves. Probably between 4 and 8.
"Due to a plan limitation your insurance does not cover this prescription"
Which prescription, you ask? The same one it has covered for the last three years. The one that keeps my brain working well enough to navigate the bullshit labyrinth of getting my prescription covered.

A reminder that it's your last day for 2025 charitable giving. Food insecurity, homelessness, and reproductive health services are big on my list of targets but whatever yours are, now's the time to finish them if you haven't

It’s important to remember there are elected officials right now fearlessly pushing back against fascism, censorship and inequality.
I just wish some were in the U.S.

A friend made this apron for me, so in honor of the gift I’ll share my guacamole ingredient list again: avocado, red onion, lime juice and zest, cherry tomatoes, chives, salt&pepper, garlic powder, serrano pepper, cilantro, pomegranate seeds. Bonus: serve with cool ranch Doritos.

This is a grim grim list
Here are the 28 Dem Senators who voted to advance the first federal ban on trans athletes & a federal definition of sex that would make trans & intersex people non-existent: Angela Alsobrooks (MD), Tammy Baldwin (WI), Richard Blumenthal (CT), Lisa Blunt Rochester (DE), Chris Coons (DE), ->
By a vote of 76-23, S 1071 passes the motion to proceed to the motion to concur. Won't know who voted for this until the roll call is uploaded, but safe to say it passed with the support of at least 24 members of the Democratic caucus. (Rand Paul probably voted nay and Steve Daines has been absent).
