They literally laughed about not picking up phones to stop a genocide and y’all thought they would stop your own?
Progressive groups are calling for Chuck Schumer's ouster after centrist Dems' shutdown cave. Dem senators' phone lines are "exploding" with the same demands. So far, Senate Dems don't have a ton to say.

Had the opportunity to review ‘Shucked’ and it was well worth staying up past midnight to turn in the assignment the next morning.
Behind the corn, there's more corn! And then there's catchy songs and an abundance of jokes. @ihavequalities.bsky.social reviews the touring Broadway show 'Shucked'

It's theatre season and I'm back on my review bullshit.
If the idea of watching a revamped 17th century English drama sounds dry, think again. Profile Theatre’s production of Witch summons its audience into the dark tale of a cunning figure (the Devil!) and the power he exerts over others by promising a better life. (Sound familiar?)

🛢️ Zenith Energy update 🧵 🛢️
Last week, Oregon DEQ approved Zenith's air permit. DEQ officials argued publicly that the permit represents an improvement in air quality because of supposed concessions.
Instead, adding risk to an already highly risky situation is a betrayal of the public interest.
