Us freeing ourselves from kings only to bring them back several hundred years later would be the appropriate conclusion given our founders' obsession with ancient Rome

NEW: A Harris campaign organizer says senior officials ordered them to erase voters who asked about Gaza—marking emails as “no response” so they’d be removed from outreach. No engagement, no persuasion, just ignored. “The only clowns are the ones who decided to abdicate on this.”

I’m back on lithium and I can tell it’s starting to work because now I have the bandwidth to be angry about everything going on instead of crying all the time. Yay, progress.

"Things might be tough but it's great for artists! They'll create more!" You might not believe me but going through a lifetime's worth of stress Every Single Week for years and years- is actually not the optimal set of circumstances that inspires artists to create

I agree no one will know how to read or write in 20 years but unclear why millennials think that because of this they'll rule as philosopher kings. What about the trajectory of the world makes you think these skills will be valued. At best you'll have a Gen Alpha boss who keeps you as an amusing pet

Indie bookselling tends to be romanticized as ‘cause work’ which is used to argue that booksellers should tolerate grossly low pay because it’s just so cool and fun to sell books! To be this wealthy and not invest in the workers who make that possible is actually not cool or fun.
The Strand owner Nancy Bass-Wyden is reportedly worth more than $50 million and received $2.7 million in COVID loans. The Strand union said they are asking for $.50 raises.

I work in vet med, so I’m very familiar with the concept of propofol as a sedative. I got a mix of that and lidocaine at my endoscopy on Tuesday, and HOLY SHIT. I was down for the count in 3 seconds. My last thought was “so this is how the animals feel,” and then I woke up 20 minutes later.
