I see grocery/takeout shaming discourse going around again, so this is your periodic historian reminder that cooking from scratch daily while working has never been sustainable, and for millennia everyone either relied on takeout & restaurants or ate in huge households w/ big dorm-like group dining.

Let’s stop acting like the HBO “rebrand” is clever. Just because they’re being self deprecating about what a stupid decision it was to rebrand half a dozen times, doesn’t mean it wasn’t a stupid decision. Zaslav is a trash human being, and they’re gaslighting you into believing it’s funny.

When I left the Washington Post in 2023, my colleagues and I were worried AI would hoover up our work and enable "zombies" to churn out stories based on our reporting and writing styles.
Today WaPo announced a partnership with OpenAI. And here it is: Zombie Gillian Brockell. I DID NOT WRITE THIS.

Trump's view that Ukraine is doomed "is more than misinformation. It is a view that distorts the battlefield reality and the critical strategic interests of the United States and our allies." Victory for Ukraine is still possible. New from @markhertling.bsky.social:
If Ukraine-Russia Negotiations Fail, Victory Remains an Option
The secretary of state and the top American commander in Europe just gave two very different perspectives on the war.

After massive public backlash, the Social Security Administration is rolling back its disastrous cuts to phone services.
This is a huge victory for the public against DOGE's rampage.

And also you can criticize what he is doing. You can say it isn’t perfect. But perfection isn’t the goal and demanding perfection and creating no space for flawed but forward moving progress is exactly how things get worse.

Listen. I believe ardently in criticizing our leaders for their failures and inaction but if you refuse to acknowledge their efforts when they do make them and if you refuse to recognize a step in the right direction, you don’t really want change. You just want to complain.
Right. The most salient point is that he could have done this over the CR, but now he's just using the energy of the filibuster without its power.

🚨 Everyone needs to call their Dem Senator right now. They are starting to cave.
Tell them:
1. Vote NO on Cloture
AND
2. Vote NO on the Republican spending bill.
Don’t let them pivot to reconciliation. GOP doesn’t need Dem votes on that and they know it.
TODAY is the showdown.

Wendy Williams has received a perfect score on a mental capacity test, TMZ reports.
These results challenge legal documents filed by her guardian who has previously claimed her condition has worsened. The results will be used in her guardianship court case.
