how is it possible that That Billionaire Who Ruined The Bird Site has all the money on earth, but always looks SO BAD? That tuxedo photo is just wild to me; the simplest dressy uniform there is, & you can't even do THAT with any elegance or (haha) elan?

it really, truly hit me tonight that we are most likely going to lose the house.
I don’t know what else to do.
I’m overwhelmed, exhausted, heartbroken, angry, & SO heartily sick of literally everything being so unrelentingly awful for so long now that I can’t remember the last time it was not.

Deaf and Deaf-adjacent folks, I need some help.
I have a student who needs to hire a writing coach that specialises in helping folks who are primarily ASL speakers write in English. Where do I look to find one who is able to assist with dissertation-level academic writing? Does anyone know someone?

Gut party leadership immediately, they do not win elections and they don't want to.
The framing of this is hilarious: Democrats deeply worried about the repercussions of a victory

As Mamdani nears victory, Democrats worry about national fallout
The progressive candidate is on the cusp of a historic mayoral win. And that's adding to unease among Democrats looking for a way back to national power.

Hey PA residents: Go vote! Vote YES to retain the state supreme court judges. They're one of the last things keeping democracy going in PA, and if PA falls the Dems' chances to disrupt GOP power in 2026 and 2028 fade pretty hard.

NYC. We love you.
I know (particularly as someone born in D.C.) that it's exhausting watching people not from/not living in/who don't know a thing about your city opining (nearly always incorrectly) about your city.
You know what you need, and you know how to go get it.
We're with you. LFG.
