Today in Tbilisi, a female demonstrator was detained near the Parliament entrance. She was holding a banner that read: 'Antsukhelidze is immortal!' Giorgi Antsukhelidze is a national hero of Georgia who was tortured and killed by Russians and their gangs in Tskhinvali in 2008. This is shameful.

Americans unfortunately don’t know how to protest very well. Look at how Georgians protest. In the US there is this idea that you protest without causing disruption, but disruption is the point, middle class folks getting hauled into jail is the point. But you also need leaders and clear demands.
God love them, but since I joined the marches in 2017 and 2020 I’ve concluded that unless marches are the occasion for rather than the object of organizing, they’re basically posting that let’s you get your steps in.
The People’s March is moving through the streets of Washington: “We won’t go back!”
A broad coalition of activists — among them climate, women’s rights, immigration, anti-war, LGBT, D.C. statehood, racial justice — are mobilizing in unison against Trump, three days before his inauguration. 🧵

Ya know how they always use long wait times as an excuse for not giving us universal healthcare? Well Lenox Hill cancelled a mammogram I’ve been waiting for 6 weeks with no notice. A service that I had a copay of $584 for. This after 8 months of pain. And they wonder why cancer kills people…

All NYC driver’s test should be administered in the Sunset Park Costco instead of an empty Red Hook parking lot. If you can make it there, you can make it anywhere, baby.

As a generation millennials seems to have forgotten how to want. Do any of you know what you want? I don’t know what I want. Or maybe I do, but what I want is to sit in a field with my cats, eating figs and strawberries, and that doesn’t seem like a reasonable thing to want.

My wish for 2024 is for people to learn how to correctly pronounce Khvicha Kvaratskhelia’s first name, and for travel writers to stop referring to Georgia as a former Soviet Republic when we’ve been in the same spot making wine for 7,000 years.

It’s pretty wild that regardless of party affiliation, the US government has just thrown its hands up and told its tax-payers: “I dunno bitch, figure it out.” Airlines running wild? Good luck, girl. Skyrocketing pedestrian death unchecked by DOT: don’t look at us, boo.
What do y’all actually do??

U.S. copyright world is really looking at Generative AI, acting as if we’re living in mid-2000s Brazil instead of the most hawkish copyright enforcing countries in the world. Where the hell are all the copyright lawyers in this conversation? Where did the anti-piracy FBI division from VHS tapes go?
