Fellow bitter southerners,

North Carolina, Kentucky, and Virginia all elected Democratic Governors. Georgia in 2020 wasn’t a fluke. South Carolina, Florida, Texas, All y’all of the y’allternative persuasion. Keep being loud. Keep getting into good trouble. Protect black folks and trans people. Vote

James Watson, the sexist racist who stole Rosalind Franklin’s ground breaking research on DNA, created his own (sadly widely believed) genius mythology with a popular book, is dead.
In case anyone is wondering if Watson was really THAT bad, @lpachter.bsky.social compiled a list of quotes that are absolutely not for the faint of heart.

Stories like this around people rising to meet the SNAP crisis are easy to frame as inspirational and I appreciate the reporting here that stresses that this is a crisis of the government's making with long-term consequences that individuals alone cannot fix.
As SNAP benefits run dry, 'grocery buddies' are footing their neighbors' food bills
With federal food aid frozen during the government shutdown, there has been a wave of people rushing to help — sending gift cards or buying groceries for SNAP recipients in their community.

WWJD about SNAP

John 6:10-12
Jesus then took the loaves, gave thanks, and distributed to those who were seated as much as they wanted. He did the same with the fish.
When they had all had enough to eat, He said to his disciples, “Gather the pieces that are left over. Let nothing be wasted.”

I feel like I say this every year but I really need people to hear it. Halloween is the best American holiday. Just kids outside welcomed into their world, marching around together, showing off their costumes to the elderly, parents meeting parents, neighbors catching up with neighbors.

Scientists are using mushrooms to create sustainable insulation for housing in Alaska’s extreme climate, which sees parts of the state swing from minus-78 degrees Fahrenheit to 100 degrees throughout the year.
Are mushrooms the future of insulation?
Scientists in Alaska are working to develop a sustainable and affordable fungus-based solution for insulation.

It’s funny to think that the masked ICE Agents terrorizing communities are the same folks that spent two years saying they couldn’t breathe with a mask on.

I was at a hotel recently that had a cutout in the glass shower pane so you could reach in and turn it on without being in the shower proper. It felt like the first real societal progress in decades.

If you want or need SNAP benefits, literally the only barrier should be...signing up.

"But what about fraud?" My sibling in red, white, and blue, THE PENTAGON HASN'T PASSED AN AUDIT IN YEARS AND MONEY IS FAKE. I don't care if too many people have food assistance.

Ahead of the 1st shutdown of US food aid to hungry Americans in 60 years, some of the 200,000 Little Free Library locations are converting into food pantries. Thanks @littlefreelibrary.bsky.social

A new art show at the Museum of Contemporary Art and the Brick in Los Angeles features 11 decommissioned Confederate statues. It's a pointed reminder that U.S. history is constantly being made and remade, despite attempts to freeze it in place. nyti.ms/47An3cq

One Halloween I dressed up as the GOP's Healthcare plan.

I never made it out of the House.
