I’ll feel like I’m in the clear in another two weeks, but as I return home on my last flight of a bush fall travel season I’m grateful to not have gotten COVID for the first time in three travel seasons.

It was a 49% to 48% election.
Fascism won by a hair.
And it took Russian and MAGA bomb threats, a hoax regarding battleground-state police raids, an illegal Musk-funded lottery, $600M given to Trump by just 15 people, Netanyahu meddling in our politics, and Democrats staying home for it to happen.

You don’t bury an ethics report that would exonerate Trump’s pick.
You don’t skip FBI background checks unless his nominees have something to hide.
See what they’re doing? Please tell me you see what they’re doing.

This amuses me so much.
Many commentators say that vigilante groups are never the answer. But they clearly don't know about the masked Ecuadorian trio named “Acción Ortográfica Quito,” who roam the streets at night with a singular purpose: to correct all the spelling and grammar mistakes they find in graffiti.

Please, if you are able, support Independent bookshops.
They are the literary & social hubs of our high streets and communities.
Without their continued support, we simply wouldn't be around to publish .
Thank you.

I’ve been poking around here a bit and it’s time to introduce myself. I care about the things in my profile and am looking forward to staying informed, learning, and sharing without trolls. Let’s hope this is that place!

The Department Under Musk (DuM) is a national joke
Not the funny kind, but the sort that willy-nilly fires a third of the work force of the largest employer in America—focusing on women, non-whites, and anyone without a science degree—causing unemployment to triple and then, soon after, a recession

Some groups are pushing to use the Alien Enemies Act as a turbocharged deportation and detention power. We explain the law, why it’s ripe for abuse, and why lawmakers must repeal it now.
The Alien Enemies Act, Explained
This detention and deportation power poses an alarming risk of abuse and rights violations in both wartime and peacetime.
