if you want to know what happened to Teen Vogue yesterday, my work wife @allegrak.bsky.social — who ran our politics section for 6 years until this past June — said it all in this.

can't even pull out a favorite part til I sign my separation letter lol, just read the whole thing.

My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings. Look on my works and thank you for your attention to this matter.

I’ll repost this for the handful of people who may know what this is all about

AI is going great.

This was just posted by a CBS News producer on their Instagram stories.

“Bringing back high risk pools” would mean people with pre-existing conditions would be priced out of health insurance coverage.

Elizabeth Warren: U.S. soybean farmers are in trouble because China quit buying from them. Who is China buying from now?

Julie Callahan, Trump's pick for AG negotiator at USTR: "..."

Warren: What is the country?

Callahan: "China is purchasing Latin American soybeans."

Warren: "Latin American??"

Reporters (one of whom is my daughter) were ousted from covering immigration court hearings. Trump regime using shutdown to impinge on free press and coverage of their actions. @hcrichardson.bsky.social

We keep seeing startups who want to replace something valuable (therapy, counseling, tutoring, artistic expression) with some tech bullshit under the banner of democratization. But why do we need to invest so much in bad tech that doesn't work instead of just giving people access to what they need?

“Radiologist comes up to me, a big guy with tears in his eyes, says to me ‘sir, I’ve never seen a person in such great shape here, not even these military guys who work out all the time, can I examine you in the MRI so I can see how perfect all your organs are?’
Well, folks, how could I refuse?”

Honestly at some point you have to start doing psyops with these people:

Have Obama announce that he will seek a third term tomorrow. Then watch all the con law “scholars” and Fix News MELT DOWN trying to explain why he can’t but Trump can. (It’s like Newsom taking over his social media persona)

The desperate need to accumulate more and more at the cost of everyone else’s wellbeing should be classified as a mental disorder, and I will absolutely die on this hill.

[looks around for jake tapper] hey man, do you, uh, want to write about this?

If I were running the DNC, there would be Democratic Party sponsored food relief banks across the country right now that specifically welcomed anyone regardless of party affiliation.

Along with the food, there could be voter registration and links to runforsomething.net

Halloween advice from @davidzipper.bsky.social & @wesmars.bsky.social:

Where’s Tipper Gore at now?

The most important thing here is that the president is unilaterally raising taxes on you because he got mad at his TV

A president who can tear down 1/3 of the White House can tear down the entire White House. A president who can steal $230M from the treasury can steal $1T from the Treasury. We have both legalized and tolerated Trump’s crimes, so they will only get bigger.

Our military is being paid by an anonymous donor.

Our WH East Wing was demolished for a ballroom - paid for by donors.

These aren’t acts of benevolence or patriotism.

This is the oligarchy assuming control, insidiously becoming part of how we function.

Every American should reject it.

The amount is meaningless — less than one day of salary. But the principle is important: once the armed services are paid by the oligarchs, they become a private militia, and we no longer have a country.

For the last 8 months or so I've been hosting a personal website on blot.im. I've outgrown what they offer, but a) highly recommend them for a lightweight site for $5/month AND b) when I went to cancel, there was ZERO DRAMA.

Very classy.

This is gone now. The East Wing lobby two years ago.
