This perfectly encapsulates how I feel living in the US. The republican party is an insane death cult, the democratic party is 3 corporations in a trench coat, and the "socialists" are just the completely normal left-wing capitalists you'd find in any of 2 dozen European nations.

I love that the Boston cop slide never got fixed and now people just willingly go down it in tribute. It’s basically a national landmark at this point

A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death.
Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."
Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.

I'm a stickler for camera on during zoom meetings because if we don't all have our cameras on how will we see our one coworkers extremely clingy cat?

A common theme of right wing politics is gravitating towards the overly simple and easy sounding solution, which actually does the opposite of what they want. Too many drugs? More drug enforcement. Has this ever worked? No. Will it ever work? No. Do voters understand why it doesn't work? Nope. 1/5

The Onion got this letter from one of our subscribers in Alaska. She works with dementia patients and decided to leave a copy in the car for each one.
This email made my year. Read it and you'll see what I mean. People are good.

OK, this is wild.
In September 2023, geophysicists across the world started monitoring a very odd signal coming from the ground under them.
It was picked up in the Arctic. And Antarctica. It was detected everywhere, every 90 seconds, as regular as a metronome, for *nine days*.
What the HELL?

I just think it’s hilarious that people went to college with the Pope. “What’s Ken up to these days? Partner at a law firm outside Pittsburgh, that’s nice. And Bob? Oh, he’s the Pope.”

I'm musing because of insomnia. The ‐ and 3 quarters or half bob or whatever term was queer wording. And she stole it so comfortably.
Hey, if you're still supporting the hateful wealthy author who has poured her riches into making the world more dangerous for trans women, do me a favour? Head down to a train station, pick a platform, and fling yourself into a solid wall at high speed. 👍🏻

They were careless people, Tom and Daisy- they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made.
