Also I love First Wives Club as much as the next person but God, the variety article about her career did not cut corners reminding us that she was a Woody Allen defender

Instead of telling us that she'd passed like a normal person my brother just texted the group chat "Dianne Keaton" with zero context

My publisher’s been very patient. I’m not doing everything I said I’d do to promote this book (out in a few weeks) because I’m an organizer in a city under federal attack. My days are full and emotionally exhausting. Any help getting the word out means a lot. It's a book people need right now.

I’ve lived in Hermosa in Chicago nearly my entire life. It’s an 80+% Latino community. There are no words for what we’re experiencing right now. I can’t stress this enough—

My home, my people are being psychologically terrorized
People are going missing
People are terrified

Don’t forget about us.

Oh this is even worse than was shared this morning.

Shoving libraries under AI. Good work, folks shoving AI into libraries. Now they're just one in the same.

do you ever just want to slam your own head into a brick wall over and over

I listened to SO MUCH "stick to the status quo" writing this, ahahaha

OH THANK GOD.

i am not saying the world has gone completely bonkers but
the world has gone absolutely completely bonkers

This is really blatant pro-Nazi rhetoric, but also the House Un-American Activities Committee following WWII considered it suspicious for people to have been anti-fascist before Pearl Harbor. So like…not new

They’re just gonna do a little lite slavery.

Big Dumper hits a 2 run shot into the bullpen that bounces to a guy wearing a "Dump 61 Here" shirt

I need people to stop referring to conversion "therapy" as something that's been discredited or doesn't work. That's like saying torture is "discredited" or doesn't work. That they don't work for their stated purpose is secondary to the fact that they DO work for their REAL purpose:

livestreamed fact checking. good use of real-time fire data and camera feeds.

Famed primatologist Jane Goodall gave an interview on Netflix's show "Famous Last Words" that would only be released after her death. Goodall shared some candid words about world leaders.

Yay it’s my book’s birthday; don’t yell about pubes in public

Update: I ended up with a 3-day migraine! I am better now though my arm still hurts at the injection site.
