I'm just here to keep in touch with my IRL friends.
Black Lives Matter. Trans Lives Matter. Free Palestine. Slava Ukraini. Fuck Netanyahu, the IDF, Putin, and all Republicans everywhere. I'm so fucking angry.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.
The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.
People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.
And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

Not only should the Dems refuse to cave on the shutdown; they should announce they won’t vote for a budget until: (a) the military is withdrawn from every American city where it’s been deployed; (b) the budget forbids the use of any funds for that purpose; AND (c) the healthcare demand already made.

I admit that when these people started calling themselves "originalists" I thought they meant slavery, not polio and diphtheria epidemics.

I was riding behind a Mini car today, and noticed the turn signals. They've got that British theme going, so they split the Union flag down the middle and modeled the turn signals after each half.

Corporate journalism must change or die.
The first changes need to be small—or change won't start at all.
A good first step: correctly report that Mamdani is a democratic socialist and REFUSE TO PUBLISH any claim that he's a Socialist or Communist because that's false and therefore not newsworthy.

Jeannie broke the plane again.
We're passing SLC and the Captain just announced that the lavs aren't flushing and we may have to divert due to mounding. Cabin service is suspended to try to reduce passenger fluid intake and passengers have been advised to cross their legs and clench really hard.

Not an original point but worth saying again - there is not a single element in this picture that identifies any of these folks as law enforcement agents. No badges, no uniforms, no vests. Out of context it just looks like a bunch of random guys are kidnapping a mayoral candidate.

I’m standing up for all of us this weekend. There will be a location near you to do the same. Get out there. It’s time.
You just stand up for people who are more in danger than you. You just do it. It could be a self-interest thing, that you realize that someday you will be the one in danger.
But it’s even more important to do it if that’s never true.
You just do it because humans are worth standing up for.

When I bought a plane ticket and ticked the "Disability assistance - hard of hearing" box and then went on to seat selection, it offered to let my wife choose a seat, but said that for me seat selection was "unavailable". When I went back and unticked the box, it let us both choose a seat.

So I was dropping off the hearing aids at the hearing aid place for repair, and the lady says they'll give me a call when they're done. "Make it a text, please", I asked. "Sorry, we can't do that.", she responded.

I flew in two new (to me) airplanes this recent trip.
I love the five-abreast seating on the A220. I think Swiss had it configured with short-range seating which was okay for the little hop we took. I'm looking forward to Airbus ramping up production and introducing the stretched -500 variant.
