Dunno how many fans of SPRINTS are on here, but apparently I was in their top 100 listeners on Apple Music this year!

I love this idea. My dad died when I was three and I had to figure out simple things like how to tie a tie and even shave on my own. Please retweet this because I know there are a lot of kids out there who could use some help with day to day life.
When he was 14 years old, Rob Kenney's father abandoned him. After becoming an adult, he launched a YouTube channel called "Dad, How Do I do it?" that teaches kids how to do things a dad would normally teach them.

Zionism 2025: Pay a Nazi a monthly stipend to call other Jews "court Jews"
Tweet by "Dr. Sara Yael Yirschhorn": This isn't the 1st time in Jewish history that a foreign ruler appoints their "court Jew"- Jewish history teaches some have lived to regret it; the most unfortunate even died to regret it (murdered by the same regime that appointed them). Beware of Jewish history, Rabbi Stein: Embedded thread by Rabbi Abby Stein: “Five local rabbis are among the more than 400 New Yorkers tapped for New York City Mayor-elect @ZohranKMamdani’s transition committees.” @JTAnews coverage of Jewish specific engagement on the Transition Team Committees: https://x.com/SaraHirschhorn1/status/1993373662767202319

Happy Labor Day!

Today we're bringing you The First Union, as told by HBomberguy (@hbomberguy.bsky.social) and illustrated by Skutch (@skutchdraws.bsky.social) It's the dawn of the industrial revolution, and of the way many of us work...

Have you ever heard of the term "Luddite" from an elder?
Stanhill, Lancashire, 1764. Wear and carpenter James Hargreaves invents the Spinning Jenny, the first practical spinning-frame, to make the tedious task of producing cloth a little bit faster. He doesn't know it yet, but this will destroy the world. Spurred by inventions like his, the industrial revolution will transform everything -- work power, the wealth of nations. Society as we know it began here, and it wasn't great for everyone. But a group of weavers and textile workers saw this future coming. And did their best to prevent it. "Curse you spinning jenny, you ruined everything!" The standard narrative does that LUDDITES were foolish lunatics who, in fear of technology, decided progress was bad, and started hitting it with sticks. But the truth is entire ways of life were being destroyed. Previously, skilled craftsmen were respected for the time and effort it took to do their work. The entire family usit would form a cottage industry - creating something valuable, and command a decent living. But when a machine can work 10 times faster its owner can charge less for the prodcts- craftsmen couldn't compete and were left out of work almost overnight. And as factories became a fixture of the british landscape, these now unemployed labourers often ended up working the factories that had just destroyed their way of life. Britain was the most prosperous nation in history, factory owners became extremely wealthy and influential. But the people doing the actual work saw almost none of it. Factory work paid little, since "the machines" did "the real work" human labourers were deemed unimportant and replaceable. FUN FACT!: Factory owners preferred to hire ORPHANS since less people would notice if they were maimed or killed on the job! Now the owners quickly realized the workers might notice they did all the work for almost no pay. If they went on STRIKE or ARGUED FOR HGHER WAGES, this would threaten their tremendous wealth. In 1799, Parliament passed the Combination Act, which made FORMING TRADE UNIONS, COLLECTIVE BARGAINING, AND GOING ON STRIKE ILLEGAL. Organizing against the rich became a crime. If you were living through it, opposing the industrial revolution wasn't techno-phobia. It was SELF-DEFENSE. The combination act forced unions underground into secret societies. And the greatest secret of all was their leader - Ned Ludd. Ned had been a folk character for years. In one version after being whipped by his master, he smashed two knitting frames in a rage. In more fanciful versions, he then escaped to the Sherwood forest, here he lived among the animals as their king. Some versions specifically call him 'Much Better Than Robin Hood'.

If you want to know where the BS idea that there was a connection came from, @hbomberguy.bsky.social has an excellent video going into it. I low-key think the story could be turned into a Spotlight-esque film.

therapy is just someone going through the junk drawer in your brain going “why do you have this? what are you ever going to use it for?” while you go “we can’t get rid of it, I might need that for something!”

“One in which tens of thousands of dead children have only their support of Hamas to blame-an organization that last won an election before those kids were born.”

Such a damning sentence.

in five days i will meet with the book group at the town senior center to discuss Omar El Akkad’s _One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This_, and i wonder how, given the media environment people in the US have marinated in, they will have grappled with passages like this. 📚
There is, and has been for decades, a version of this phantom reality imposed on the Palestinian people, one in which they left their land willingly and were never expelled, never terrorized into movement. One in which, as Golda Meir stated and so many Israeli politicians have echoed since, there was no such thing as Palestinians. One in which Palestinian identity, if it did exist, was meaningless, and certainly conferred no rights. One in which these nonpeople were nonetheless treated well by the government and institutions that now rule over them, given good laborer jobs and sometimes even afforded free passage on the roads they're allowed to drive on and the buses they're allowed to board and behind the walls that are there purely to keep everyone safe. One in which every failed peace agreement is the fault of these intransigent, unreasonable people and not the state whose officials to this day gloat openly about never allowing a Palestinian state to exist. One in which every round of violence is the sole consequence of the last Palestinian act of violence. One in which tens of thousands of dead children have only their support of Hamas to blame-an organization that last won an election before those kids were born.

I’ve met a tame raccoon at a wildlife rescue (she can’t survive in the wild due to health problems) and she climbed onto my head and cleaned the inside of my ear. Her name is Giz and she’s my friend.

If they win, Democrats will have to use their newfound authority to rethink, even dismantle, agencies like U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and U.S. Customs and Border Protection. They may need to walk back the Bush-era decision to consolidate those agencies and others under a single department, given the wild abuses perpetrated under this administration and its predecessors. It will need to give serious thought to major political and social reform, including D.C. statehood, a federal ban on partisan gerrymandering, a new voting rights act and federal protections for reproductive rights and bodily autonomy, including the rights of gender and sexual minorities. Democrats will also need to embrace the legislature’s constitutional authority to structure the executive branch and the judiciary, up to and including Supreme Court reform. If they win next year, Democrats will need to treat the next Congress not as a return to the status quo ante but as the beginning of a new era in which the principal task is to roll back the president’s effort to create and consolidate a personalist dictatorship. They’ll need to fortify the American political system against future attempts to play dictator and lay out a project of genuine democratic renewal. None of this is possible without a willingness to use power rather than just hold it. What we’ve seen this week is that there are still too many Democrats whose instinct is to retreat to normalcy rather than face the conflict at hand.

Marjorie Taylor Greene says Trump is lying about her interactions with him — and posted their text exchanges today about the Epstein files.

A sitting member of Congress just posted her messages with the president of the United States.

Fall 2017: Then-NYT reporter literally warning Epstein that someone is "digging around again."
From: Thomas Jr., Landon Sent: 9/27/2017 2:47:47 PM To: Subject: Got another call from Connelly.. Importance: High Jeffrey Epstein [jeevacation@gmail.com] He is digging around again -- not clear if its another book/or expanded paperback version. Was asking me all sorts of questions about why you hired Ken Starr. I told him I had no idea - I think he is doing some Trump-related digging too. Anyway, for what its worth...
