Bluesky suspended Sarah Kendzior today for no reason whatsoever. She just shared excerpts of her articles, which were as always incisive and not offensive at all. Hey @pfrazee.com this is super not OK. I know her- we've interacted a fair bit via chats and her work is essential.

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.

I’m a constituent that voted for you. Do not cave to open the government that does not include reinstating subsidies for those that are enrolled in the ACA/Obamacare. Courts are requiring F47 to fund SNAP. Citizens need affordable health insurance! Do not cave!

This is great to hear - hope some of the “squishy” folks think twice!
Dem Senator Ruben Gallego is a no on the CR:
“I have been clear on this from the beginning: I will not turn my back on the 24 million Americans who will see their premiums more than double if we don’t extend these tax credits.”

A scene from yesterday’s warm afternoon run. Certainly not the glorious colors of a New England fall, or the golden aspens of our nearby mountains. But I love the subtle gold and silver of Rabbitbrush and Winterfat at this time of year.

I was always proud of being a Cornell PhD alum - admired the philosophy/ideal of educating any person in any discipline. But this capitulation by Cornell means that ideal has been extinguished.
BREAKING: Cornell caved.
Here is the settlement agreement, signed today by the university's president, Michael Kotlikoff: statements.cornell.edu/2025/documen...

Tom Hanks explains to Stephen Colbert why he masks on the subway:
"I'm doing a play right now so I cannot get sick... I've had COVID enough in my life, I don't need to do that again. So I'm wearing this for health reasons."
Thank you Tom! Masks are still a key part of public health.

Generative AI being 'wrong' in the information it produces, and being unethical in how it steals human labor are both overlapping issues and it's important to show a bit of damn solidarity even if you're not a scientist, or information worker, or a writer, or an artist, or a photographer

Bad news: there's only enough to last half of Nov.
Congressional Republicans, you're in charge, end this shutdown and fund the federal government!
