The failure of our elites to hold Trump accountable for January 6th is as disgraceful as what happened on that awful day.
Since 2010, 35 democratic leaders around the world have been criminally convicted. Only Trump went unpunished and unconstrained.
Now he threatens democracy at home and abroad.

Lost Hal Steinbrenner's vote when he said NYers shouldn't ask for little and expect less.
Mamdani: I have been told that this is the occasion to reset expectations, that I should use this opportunity to encourage the people of New York to ask for little and expect even less. I will do no such thing. The only expectation I seek to reset is that of small expectations.

I really think it's important for these millionaire athletes, none of whom are children, to feel great shame for being interested in Adin Ross to begin with. Mookie Betts, you are 33 years old. You have a wife and children. You should not know who Adin Ross is.
Yo what the hell is going on with LA athletes right now

Um, yes, I'm okay seeing a PCP before a specialist. Assuming that I ACTUALLY get to see a specialist without having to pay a specialist out of pocket, plus literally thousands of dollars for testing that my HMO wouldn't do even though they should have done it.
Ask me how I know.

Literally every healthcare plan on the NYS marketplace is an HMO so “R U ok with having to see a primary care doc before you can see a specialist ?” is maybe not the threat you think it is
For all Universal HC/Single Payer/M4A advocates.
What do the biggest, expensive hospital chains do. Do they opt out and only serve the rich ?
Who in the USA gov runs the program?

Ad-driven social media platforms pushing baked goods on me gives me a small bit of hope that maybe these platforms don't know me as well as I fear.

“How are sales?”
What’s the worst question someone can ask after you tell them your profession? For linguists, it’s definitely “how many languages do you speak?”, but I’m curious what else is happening to the rest of y’all out there?!

The AI slop situation on Facebook is truly out of hand.
I now REGULARLY see shit that has so-called "Aaron Judge quotes" accompanied by pictures of regular-sized, generic white guys.

In other news, pizza ruined chicken teriyaki and football ruined rhythmic gymnastics.

Another Game of Wool thought: Sorry, but the judge literally crying over fiber arts is incomprehensible.
I don't even get THAT emotional when I see items from my late grandma, and I loved her more than almost anyone in the universe.
Getting weepy over a porthole? Just, why?

Disability education should not be put into HHS because it's not a health issue, it's an education issue. The idea that disability = health is dehumanizing and, frankly, simply wrong.
