Went to a local #industrial show last night. The highlight was Fleshing Machine - an electro-industrial act in the vein of Suicide Commando, Wumpscut, etc.

If you are young enough that you didn’t have measles but were born before 1989, then you may have only had one measles vaccine, and not the two that are needed. There’s no known downside to an accidental third vaccination. This is why I got my MMR booster today.

Remember how Trump cancelled $1 billion in USDA spending on food aid, eliminating that funding to farms? Well, now food banks don’t have enough food. Impoverished seniors are going hungry while nearby farmers scale back production. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/28/u...

The right for autistic people with intellectual disabilities (and other disabled people) to live outside of institutions was only granted by the US Supreme Court in 1999.
Perioidic reminder that the reason you didn't see autistic people with intellectual disabilities on the street five decades ago was not because they didn't exist. It's because they were sent away to institutions and their parents were told to put away pictures of them.

Trump is basically pressing all the “do not touch” buttons simultaneously: mass layoffs, increasing prices, undermining consumer and international confidence. Not sure what else he could be doing to trigger a recession, let alone longer term US decline
March saw the third-highest number of layoffs in U.S. history, and 80% of them were caused by DOGE
This was before the tariffs
It's just...unbelievable

This is also important. Like a lot of people, I’m no longer going to accept “put it back the way it was.” Democrats need a vision that’s as radically inclusive and expansive as Republicans’ vision is destructive and extractive.
They should also ask Democrats about their plan to rebuild and strengthen them. We’re going to need a new New Deal

We reported on this a few days ago, but I want to point out this headline because this is where we are at.

If one thing gives me a little bit of optimism in This Current Era, it’s that we have mounting reminders that citizens can be the mechanism that forces the FIND OUT phase upon those who dared FUCK AROUND.
Target’s stock plummeted by ~ $27.27 per share by the end of February, erasing about $12.4 billion in market value.
The drop came on Feb. 28, the designated economic blackout day, and coincided with mounting backlash over the retailer’s decision to abandon its DEI commitments.
