Doomscrolling is an attempt to binge-watch the current season of our shared reality.
You're tapping into the instinct that if you just keep reading, you'll find out how the story goes! That's not how reality works, though; it happens on its own schedule and no amount of scrolling will speed it up.

Folks, if you are hungry, please contact your local Sikh gurdwara. Or just show up for langar, which most gurdwaras do several times a week, for a free meal. Lots also do weekly or monthly drives giving out groceries.
No conversion necessary. Feeding anyone who is hungry is a key part of Sikhism.

A lady on TikTok has been calling churches pretending to be a mother with a baby who needs formula and several churches turned her away. But wouldn’t you know that when she called a Mosque (Islamic Center of Charlotte) they immediately said yes.

The average American uses enough water for 800,000 chatbot prompts. per day. That seems insane because normally we don't think about the amount of water it takes to make a single sheet of paper or (if you're in for a wild ride) to produce a hamburger or pair of jeans.

Yes, excellent point. Mikie Sherrill's use of the "liberty and prosperity" slogan is really important. It captures this emerging Dem politics of the Trump 2.0 era very well.
Sherrill was hammering “liberty and prosperity,” the NJ state motto — which is a very flexible and nonpartisan message for Dems. Freedom from corruption, kidnappings, speech crackdowns, etc, and a chicken or at least an affordable dozen eggs in every pot
Mamdani-Spanberger-Sherrill axis suggests outlines of an emerging Dem coalition organized around anti-Trump *and* affordability politics. This is doing serious damage to the MAGA coalition. Its success this week undermines the idea of a big Trump 2024 realignment. 7/

I do think the idea of "run charismatic candidates" is underrated as a strategy. Especially on the presidential level it's a good predictor of Democratic success.

if there was a rich person with the will, you could build the most incredible news organization that has ever existed just from the wreckage of this year alone.
I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day.
certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

This is why I regularly let people know how awesome I think they are.
We often think that awesome people must naturally know they’re awesome, but they don’t. And letting them know could be the little push that they really needed that day.

Low key, this is why I think you should send fan mail to the niche people you love and not huge people. Bts is gonna get thousands of letters, but that soundcloud rapper may go there entire career getting nothing.
Tell your niche favs you love them in a way that is not weird!!

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.

It’s still remarkable that Disney produced - and released - this segment in 1940. A horror short that should rank with its Universal monster movie contemporaries… The animation is lush and experimental, and really shows off the Disney special animated effects team…

Elaborating b/c there's a lot of misunderstanding on this.
Insurrection Act does nothing except you can then use soldiers as cops. They can enforce laws, but they're the same old laws. It doesn't suspend the Constitution. No martial law, no closing courts, no removing state officials, none of that.

Even if he did, which I'd bet is likelier than not, none of this is true. The Insurrection Act is not a declaration of martial law. It doesn't close the courts. It doesn't suspend habeas corpus. It means you can use the military to enforce federal laws, but the laws themselves remain the same.
Trump: "I'm allowed as you know as president, like 50% of the presidents have used the Insurrection Act. Everybody agrees you're allowed to use that and there is no more court cases, there is no more anything. We're trying to do it in a nicer manner, but we can always use the Insurrection Act."

What I have seen at these No Kings protests is some of the most authentic belief in the idea of America that I have seen in my life. Irony and academic detachment has been the disease, what people call cringe is the cure.
After 2024, pundits brushed off the Resistance as cringe. I submit: Yes, it was. And cringe is good. Cringe, in fact, will save democracy.
