So after the longest $hit$how, I mean, shutdown in history, & the refusal to swear in a democratic house rep, within 1 weekend suddenly Trump changes course and has “nothing to hide.”
Just days ago he was going to veto any release yes vote.
His name is EVERYWHERE.

What did they CRTL + ALT + DELETE?

My favorite are the articles that constantly but “subtly” blame women for falling birth rates, having less children, fertility issues, or smaller families. (Never do they say Men in a headline that follows “falling birth rates.”

Well I’m very pleased with their choice and the BIG REBUKE this was to a U.S. POTUS authoritarian bully. Congratulations to “the leader of the democracy movement in Venezuela, Maria Corina Machado is one of the most extraordinary examples of civilian courage in Latin America in recent times.”

Now your meds from Pfizer won’t be marked up 4000%! Yay. It will just be 400%, and we can thank this Billionaire for the “savings” as he brands healthcare.

My nightmare: Seeing his mug on the bottle while popping meds to survive late stage capitalism. With a gold painted childlock safety cap.

It’s no secret I’m obsessed with “Wild Faith”. I recommend it daily.

A book I DO NOT RECOMMEND
“God, The Rod, & your Child’s Bod.”

h/t to @swordsjew.bsky.social & a brilliant exposé on Christian parenting books.

When Kirk said “submit to your husband” the “or else” and the beating is implied.

There’s this thing called authenticity…and you see, in order to have it, you have to actually be a human and respect your fellow human beings, not dehumanize and characterize them and their culture into a costume. 🧵

Stuff he said on the news 9/2/2025 in response to a reporter asking about what do in Baltimore.

WHILE CHILDREN STARVE…TODAY:
10 richest made $43 B USD. Musk settled for an undisclosed sum (likely < $500M) for wrongfully fired X workers.

Bros like Musk didn't “earn” 22x more than 5,000 people in 1 biz day. They gamed a system that funnels wealth upward…and destroyed democracy in the process.

Genuinely made me so happy to see this. I’ve been saying this a while and love when my gut is aligned with Judaism. My take: if there’s a trolley problem invented by men with such limited, violent, Sophie’s choice mentality, then we are clearly better inventors. Proving my point in a gif:

Movie State & Main.
A big actor (played by Alec Baldwin) is driving drunk—middle of the night in a sleepy town in Vermont. He’s got a townie, a teenage girl in the car (Julia Stiles). He gets in an accident; flips the car. Gets out of the upside down car, staggers a bit and says “So that happened.”

Brilliant #Satire. NYT Headline generator is chef’s kiss.

“The New York Times (not really) coverage of Zohran Mamdani is getting desperate.”

They didn’t even vote by the buzzer. It was tied with 9 GOP holdouts. And they fell inline. Last I looked 2 still hadn’t voted. At 11:22 with :18 remaining it was tied. A full 4 min after the vote GOP finally acquiesced. Their selfishness is truly unmatched.

Small study that doesn’t have a ton of participants but enough data to validate what we already know: lack of estrogen makes your #ADHD symptoms much much worse and sleep damn near impossible. This studied menstrual cycle but imagine perimenopause and menopause when estrogen just ghosts?!

The federal budget process is the biggest scam we’re subjected to. They hide all sorts of legislation in the budget bills and The Big Beautiful Bill is as ugly as its creators.
Tax cuts that increase the deficit. Gives billionaires huge breaks.
Reduces federal revenue from bros already underpaying.
