Took a look at MSNBC ratings since they fired 2 Women of Color from their shows... 👀

The channel was always liberal barely left of center. It would be nice to have a real progressive voice on TV. I worry about that future as billionaires buy the technology progressive voices are currently using.

Why do we sleep in booths during the month of Tishrei, just when the weather is turning colder? R' Andre Benjamin and R' Antwan Patton teach that it is because there is only one thing cooler than being cool - ice cold.

NEW STUDY

Since I was born, 500 Black neighborhoods have vanished

And 500,000 Black people have been lost

All due to urban revitalization projects

Like the one for LA’s new coliseum — for the Clippers and ‘26 Olympics — that’s destroying Inglewood

From Watts to D.C.: How 500 Black Neighborhoods Vanished in 45 Years

America’s gentrified neighborhoods have lost 500,000 Black people, while gaining residents of every other race, a study finds.

David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

When prices were going up under Biden there was a constant deluge of news stories about it because the media did not like Biden and wanted him to lose. Under Trump there is not a constant deluge of news stories about coffee prices because they like Trump and want him to win

everything is on fire these days, sure, but how is it that 50% of all news stories are not about how I just spent $20 on a bag of store brand coffee at fucking costco

The Phillies are such a conundrum. They just can't stay loose hitting in big moments 2 years in a row. They made good moves for Relief that have not worked. Disappointing

I put my lactaid in a Pez dispenser, thanks someone on Insta's idea. It makes it fun and I am always excited to take the lactaid so I remember to take it.

Just to be clear:

Trans people are the working class. Black people are the working class. Immigrants are the working class. Pregnant people are the working class. Brown people are the working class. Asian people are the working class. Disabled people are the working class.

I complain a lot about the media - because it is full scale bad at it's job and throughout my life been an unabashed mouthpiece for racism with little to know apology. ProPublica shows what it could be. Important read and good reporting.

“We’re physically seeing the impacts of a changing climate on these communities. … And the fact that we don’t have a government framework for dealing with these issues is not just an Alaska problem, it’s a national problem.”

Newtok, Alaska, Was Supposed to Be a Model for Climate Relocation. Here’s How It Went Wrong.

The project’s challenges highlight how ill-prepared the U.S. is to respond to the way climate change is making some places uninhabitable.
