Neither does the Guardian obit
The New York Times obit for Alice Wong doesn’t mention Covid or Gaza

It ignores two of her biggest causes because of political bias

Alice fought tirelessly for Covid mitigations

She fought for the people of Gaza

She rightfully reminded us that the genocide in Gaza is a disability justice issue

I have never hated a man more than—Well, Warner.

But I still hate this centrist piece of shit so fucking much.
Tim Kaine: "I don't tell Ro Khanna or AOC or anybody else who you should pick as your House leader, because I got a full time job being a senator. I don't need to freelance opinions about House leadership. They should focus on their own leadership and let senators do what we need to do."

Shout out to my mother’s lunch group at her job for willingly agreeing to let me test my thanksgiving recipes on them.

Hope they appreciate my brown butter onion & sage stuffing and my Cajun brined chicken.

Also my maple-bourbon cranberry sauce.

So… The New York Times longs for a time where it was chill to be in a wealthy cabal of pedophiles?

Rudy Bridges is younger than the Sitting President of the United States and 29 sitting United States Senators
It’s useful for people of my generation to be reminded that this wasn’t that long ago. Ruby Bridges isn’t just still alive—she’s only 71, not ancient!
65 years ago on Nov. 14, little Ruby Bridges was escorted into an all-white elementary school in New Orleans. Norman Rockwell, renowned for blissful depictions of Americana, did this remarkable painting for Look magazine. Printed as a double page, over-size spread, it's his masterpiece.

I love the Chidi levels of insanity behind this stance of being anti-Heinz.
Sometimes I actually agree when people say Bluesky is the most insufferable social network.

By this logic James Bond should be in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang because Ian Fleming wrote both.

Congress’s shutdown deal eliminated key food safety rules, blocking agencies from enforcing measures to prevent contamination and trace outbreaks. This rollback has coincided with a surge in hospitalizations and deaths from foodborne illnesses.

The gutting of these rules coincides with a huge increase in hospitalizations and deaths from foodborne illnesses.

This doesn’t seem like all that far a departure from Francis’s meetings with lay people and clergy to help find middle ground between dogma and the reality of how people live.
The pope is gonna have a trans brunch! I wonder who is gonna bring the wilder hat, the pope or the trans women?

But seriously - this is nice but i hope he also chats with some enbys or trans men too at some point.

So these people want to make comic books.
I’ll say this much: This reads exactly like what it is: people who discovered romance five years ago and decided they had all kinds of amazing new ideas to “fix” it. Connections between books? That feel kind of cozy to the reader? How did no one ever think of that?? www.nytimes.com/2025/11/13/b...

Since Sarah Kendzior’s account has been restored for a “death threat”- I’m wondering why Link’s hasn’t… does Bluesky take alleged threats against their CEO more seriously than ones against other people? Will Patton Oswalt also have a full account ban?

The U.S. should provide its people the same benefits as it provides the military.

Free four years schooling, cost of living,free healthcare, government run grocery stores and box stores that provide tax free goods, housing.

I'm just chasing the socialist dream land I grew up in.
"my least woke opinion is---"

That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.

Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

See, I told you. I TOLD YOU that the freaking filibuster is why the Democrats caved in and gave Republicans everything they wanted!

Democrats sold out the country for an institutional privilege that doesn't even help them.
Heaven forbid the Republicans get rid of the filibuster…

In the lead up to Wake Up Dead Man, in addition to watching the movies prior, I am also watching the movies that inspired Knives Out.

Which is amusing because having never been a Christie person, Knives Out really is just Death on the Nile with less steps.

So the emails are real, but he didn't really do pedophile shit?

He just watched others do it?

I didn't care for season 2, but I still wanted a season 3. Peacock is the worst.

So those four are compromised and can’t be trusted as President.

Which, with Shapiro and Newsom, we already knew. But it’s a shame about Pritzker.
Schumer reached out to leading presidential contenders to try and mute criticism of the deal, calling Josh Shapiro, Andy Beshear, JB Pritzker, and Gavin Newsom.

While Schumer voted against it, the eight Dems behind the shutdown deal said the minority leader was aware of their plan. trib.al/lcNlGik

Character design looks exactly like Apple and Onion (not a negative).
‘Living The Dream’, an animated sitcom from ‘Apple & Onion’ creator George Gendi, is in the works at Netflix.

I love how I use Netflix so little that after finishing Frankenstein their suggestions for what I would also enjoy ranged from Grey’s Anatomy to something called Uglies to The Diplomat.

Just out here like “You seem to like white actors, I guess?!”

It’s not like anyone was seriously attached to Whishaw or Fiennes.
