"But masking gives me acne"
Please don't let your fear of getting acne while your nose is full of gross boogers lead you to do things that can literally get other people killed, ok?

Here's a really easy New Year's Resolution:
If you're sick with something contagious, you will stay home if your circumstances allow.
If you can't stay home, you will mask around others until there is no possibility you are contagious.
By making these choices, you will literally save lives.

When was the last time a disease was un-eradicated? I genuinely don’t know if this has ever happened.
The US will no longer be considered a country that has eliminated measles—just about the most infectious disease we know of & extremely dangerous—in about twenty days because measles transmission has been sustained in the United States "SINCE AROUND JAN. 20."

The mail is a public mass communication service ie essential to democracy
“the USPS must turn a profit” makes me want to set things on fire
they put a clause in the fucking constitution about postal service, that’s how important it is
nothing in there about “only if you can make money on it”

🚨SCOOP: Amazon is preparing to sever ties with USPS and expand its shipping network as a true coast-to-coast rival.
It could cost USPS more than *$6 billion* a year in lost revenue, and lead Amazon to dominate yet another facet of the economy.
USPS posted a *$9 billion* loss in 2025.

a cool thing about the heart hoards (available for pre-order at nora.jewelry/products/kob...) is i basically looked up how florists and chocolatiers do gifts with customization options and modeled them after that

If the Republican Party, and Trump at its head, had seen themselves as malign stewards of the Leviathan that is the modern American government, and had tried to bend it more gradually to their will, they may have been more successful. But they couldn’t do that because they can’t do that.
The past year has been terrifying. Really, the past two—I lost a lot of sleep in 2024 over the promises of the Trump campaign, promises they immediately sought to make good on. But at the end of the first year of his would-be dictatorship, I am calling it: we are going to win.
We Are Going to Win
Trump's revolution will fail, but we still have a long and painful road ahead of us.

Moxon, whose name autocorrects to “login,” is being self effacing but you really should read his stuff
Hey everyone shut up for a minute and listen to spaghootighost, he's making a really important point that we aren't talking about enough.
If you haven't been reading A. R. Moxon this year, here are twelve great places to start.

The biggest mistake liberalism made was to watch conservatives worship the constitution and “the founders” like idols for decades and believe they really meant it.
The constitution and the rule of law they hold dear are the versions in their heads where they get to do whatever they are want.

Maybe, if you're not actually in university classrooms, teaching students in the age of gAI, perhaps you might want to stop and listen when people actually in those classrooms raise concerns about what they are seeing; and not just dismiss us as luddites, or boomers, or cruel profs playing cops
