stellan skarsgård seems like a good dude
I just want people to care about each other. And stop wanting more than they can even spend. And to stop eating octopus. I have a few wants, I guess.
I always have a plan to get rid of a bunch of my holiday decor and have less stuff but then I keep getting more because I secretly believe holiday decorations are key to joy and these are troubled times.

This is several days old. But amidst so much else id missed it. That’s a stunning number. No wonder they about-faced. Reminder of the power of consumers in oligarch era, not subject to the same kind of targeting.
And has no filter because he's never felt he needed one.
I hate that we have to wait so long until midterms to see if midterms work.
Has Taylor Swift gotten this memo? Not that she should carry the brunt of it. We also have a few Kardashians, Bezos, Zuckerberg, and maybe Selena Gomez? Anyway, get on it billionaires.
Seems clear Republicans truly don't care about preserving any part of the country they have so boldly & loudly claimed to love. What is a country if not its land, people, ideals, law, its history? They care nothing of norms, laws, freedom, security, or prosperity. They value power & destruction.

as a note, food banks need money, not canned goods
In one week, food aid is going to run out if the federal government is still shutdown. 1 in 10 Americans will not get paid they rely on in November, like SNAP. Please give to local food banks now, if you are able. Look into local groups that are providing meals and things like diapers. This is bad.

Please keep me in your thoughts during this difficult time (the two weeks of perfect autumn weather during which I have to try to wear all of my light jackets so I don’t feel like I wasted my money on them)
And, they are willing to say it. That's the scariest part.
I think I’m team thieves.
They aren't leaders, just greedy and bloodthirsty trolls.
Oh my god. They have NO CLASS.
Right? It’s an injustice
You’re shorting me on my tall soy latte, Starbucks. Can’t I have nice things? At least a full drink? (First world problems, I know)

The whataboutism on Gaza really rankles, especially for those of us who have spent our careers reporting on the crises Israel's defenders cynically invoke as so much worse than Gaza. I wrote about how it actually compares, and what the true toll may be. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/23/o...

My latest treasure from @bookshop.org. Amazon sucks. Reading is good. Writers are cool. 😎
