I think Pecan Pie is one of those things that is divisive now because it’s just a blob of sugar with nuts on it but to someone 150 years ago who ate shoes it was probably like having 12 orgasms at once

Dems: Mamdani is too radical for our taste. Plus someone said he's antisemitic. And that name is scary to us! We need to keep him out.
Dems, 1 week later: Look lots of people have tattoos like that

Alice Wong taught us that disabled people don’t just leave memories behind—they leave infrastructure. Lineages of care. Methods of collectivity, survival. She named the connective tissue that holds our communities together, even across death, even across the losses that come too fast and too often.

A nice obituary for Alice, who was going to be recognized as one of The Post 50.

Hey guys just asking for a friend, is this... Political violence?
IDF sniper from Chicago who says he killed Gazan teenager just for trying to retrieve his brother's corpse: “They’re thinking, ‘Oh I don’t think [I’ll get shot] because I’m wearing civilian clothes and I am not carrying a weapon' and all that, but they were wrong. That’s what you have snipers for.”

Family abolition is about ending the state’s exploitation of family as a stand-in for public infrastructure. No housing? Rely on family. No healthcare? Family. No safety net? Family. The neoliberal family formation is privately subsidized state abandonment dressed with a sentimental smokescreen.

It had a funny scientistic ring to it that hardly seems necessary now. An intern drafted up some language that bothered to ransom-note a few JAMA and NEJM papers to spell out “Work makes you free”. There were hypotheses to be tested by the children of Deloitte VPs.

If we weren't a profoundly white supremacist nation (same for the hegemonic "West" as a whole), this and the 20 million other yearly preventable deaths that we allow yearly would be the only things on the news, every day, around the clock. This is all preventable www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...
USAID cuts could lead to 14 million deaths over the next five years, researchers say
An analysis published Monday in the medical journal The Lancet projects that cuts to the agency will lead to more deaths from diseases like AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis.

That estimate is six times the number of people normally cited as killed.

Every flashbang could instead be a meal for a poor kid. Every hotel room for a National Guardsman deployed to fire at our neighbors could house a homeless vet. Every "less-than-lethal" bullet pulled from a journalist's eye could be already needed healthcare for anyone else. All of this is a choice.

every college degree has only two pathways for careers
for example, if you get a degree in psychology, you can
1) help poor and underprivileged people: $30,000/year
2) research new ways to make people gamble even more: $700,000/year
