If the news has you needing to disassociate for a little bit, please enjoy the @mobute.bsky.social & @davidjroth.bsky.social It's Christmastown podcast I guested on, along with @andylevy.net and @ugarles.bsky.social -- where we dissect a Hallmark movie's attempt at latkes and Hanukah
A magical matchmaker who looks like Lady Moff Tarkin brings together coastal deli dynasties with the help of Lisa Loeb and a doorman so two cloned Bubbes can fight over potatoes in an almost anthropologically Jewish Hallmark movie.

Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer.
He is a computer safety researcher.
And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine.

I can't make a joke about finding Schumer's alt because there's absolutely no way he knows what the internet is
And how do you know what he did?
Do you have inside senate information or are you just making it up?

agreeing to make a terrible deal while your main opponent is quite literally being boo'd on live tv by an entire stadium of people is the kind of political instinct you'd normally only find in a 3 week old dead goldfish

these are surprisingly still available. I know I’m not the only person who goes to concerts but maybe I am one of the only ones who goes alone
I lined up concerts around work trips I had. Due to the shutdown, the trips are canceled.
Chicago: 1 tik to Patti Smith on Nov. 18th
Pittsburgh: 1 tik to Wednesday (in McKees Rocks) on Nov. 20th
If you can't afford to pay for it, it's ok. I'd just rather they weren't wasted. DM for either ❤️

This is the facility that I and many others have been protesting. We’ve been hit, thrown, gassed, and shot with pepper bullets but none of that holds a candle to what is being done to people *in* the actual facility.
Read this thread. Don’t look away. Keep your eyes and the pressure on Broadview.

A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.

Scalded by negative reviews for their first "Hanukkah" movie ("Who Is the Secret Jew Among Us at Christmas?"), Hallmark responded by making a movie that is the MOST Jewish. Naturally, @davidjroth.bsky.social and I made @mauraquint.bsky.social, @ugarles.bsky.social and @andylevy.net watch it with us.

"women ruin everything" factoid actually just statistical error. average woman ruins 0 things a year. Maura Quint, who lives in a cave and ruins over 10,000 each day, is an outlier and should not have been counted

As a suburban soccer mom, I can tell you that quite a few of the even moderately left suburban soccer moms you know are pissed off, amazing at multi-tasking and organizing, and ready to fight
I gotta say, I’m seeing the most Live Laugh Love women I went to all girls high school with in Ohio posting anti-ICE Instagram reels and demanding people pay attention to the threat of fascism

To put this in scale, Elon Musk's salary from Tesla alone could fund the SNAP program for the entire country into 2034.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk scored a resounding victory on Thursday as shareholders approved a pay package of as much as $878 billion over the next decade, endorsing his vision of morphing the EV maker into an AI and robotics juggernaut.

I asked a neighbor to continue walking my kids to school and I turned back to document and confront the ICE agents.
