I wrote about what I think is a genuinely revealing document of elite depravity and impunity. It is shocking and sickening. But it's also a crucial moment. We're about to see what happens when conspiracy theorists actually get what they asked for but it turns out not to be what they want.

They cleaned subways during Covid. Now, they’ll get millions in back pay.
So proud of our team in the @nyccomptroller.bsky.social’s Bureau of Labor Law who won this $3 million settlement on behalf of 450 mostly immigrant workers who risked their safety for ours.

I am almost certain that Booker knows the record and is aiming directly to break it.
Cory Booker has held the Senate floor for 17 hours and 21 minutes.
The record of 24 hours and 18 minutes is held by segregationist Strom Thurmond, who spent that time protesting the Civil Rights Act of 1957.
I am pretty sure Booker would not mind changing that history.

The Catholic Church is objectivly evil, but dammit they have some bops!
Part 1 of my Catholic Hymn Tier List is up! I made mid and high tier available to paid subscribers as a treat for sticking with me through my Mexico hiatus, but the honorable mentions and low tiers are readable by all. Let us pray.

I don’t think Elon Musk’s tweaked out version of twitter replies deserves the dignity of being called “the discourse” any longer. As Dave is alluding to, Musk controls what is amplified in top replies and also influences who feels at home on that platform. It mostly reflects his personal hatred now.
Elon’s personal anti-trans animus and anger at censorship of anti-trans speech really affected the discourse.

The Handmaid's Tale is a good book. But did you know that there's a book written by a Black woman about a post-apocalyptic Earth heavily affected by climate change and societal decline. The book was published in 1993, but is set in 2024 following a presidential election 👀 #BookSky #BlackBookSky
