Hear me out…what if instead of freaking out that we aren't producing enough babies, we cared about keeping the existing children alive?

Watching the Senate “vote-a-rama” on the BOOB (Big Obscene Oligarch-licking Bill). Disgusting display of craven cowardice.

Since 1980!
This has always been the GOP's strategy:
1) Cut taxes for the wealthy & corporations by claiming they'll pay for themselves.
2) Explode deficits
3) Use the debt as an excuse to demand cuts to vital programs that help millions.
4) Repeat.

You probably have to have a lot of experience in bankruptcy court to come up with this idea, but it's still kind of inspired to try to end all of a nation's international obligations by declaring that nation's moral bankruptcy.

BRB… adding Lemony Snicket to style guidelines 🍋
Every single expert trying to communicate with the public needs to Lemony Snicket the shit out of their writing— a phrase I'm using here to mean "explicitly define any specialized or technical vocabulary in terms that would be understood by an unexceptional 7th grader."

Saw this headline in The Guardian and it took a minute to realize the story was about fertility, not the skyrocketing price of a dozen eggs or the avian flu. 🐣

Does anyone have a contact for Ann ? Would love to discuss with her the possibility of partnering with her to publish her cartoons exclusively on @bluesky
Jeff Bezos never wanted this cartoon to become public.
He killed it, and as a result, pulitzer prize editorial cartoonist Ann Telnaes quit.
Make sure everyone sees this cartoon.

Feeling so much (self-imposed) pressure to make my first Bluesky post pithy, clever, memorable, etc., that I haven't posted anything at all.
