Old Soviet joke for today:
A man walks into a newsstand every day, looks around, and leaves.
After a long time of this, the owner says “Can I help you find something?”
“I’m looking for the obituaries.”
“The obituaries are in the back of the newspaper, comrade.”
“Not the one I’m looking for.”

Also, to be temporarily serious, I hate that my political awareness as a citizen in a so-called representative government requires keeping up with the personal relationship of an unhinged billionaire private citizen and the man to whom he gifted the presidency

Kinda eerie how a St Louis comrade has been privately sharing disaster zone details — huge swaths of the city leveled, working-class Black folks disproportionately impacted — and how I'm basically not seeing this catastrophe reported by most national media. Read @devintoshea.bsky.social's piece ⬇️
In St. Louis, a Tornado Rips Across an Economic Disaster Area
St. Louis can either use the disaster as an opportunity to commit to the safety of all its residents, or it can continue a barbaric cycle of neglect.
