I am perpetually thinking about this speech. The capitalism line is the most quotable, but so many concepts around it are much stronger.

Good day to read and watch Ursula K. Le Guin’s brilliant acceptance speech for the National Book Foundation medal.

“We live in capitalism, its power seems inescapable — but then, so did the divine right of kings.”

The No Kings March in Chicago is one of the largest gatherings I’ve seen here. Looking down from by the river, the crowd stretches for blocks down Michigan Ave and wraps around Wacker Dr. This video is from a few minutes ago and the end of the protest is nowhere in sight.

Cannot believe what I got to see. Absolute insanity

Seriously

And Snell isn't gonna put up another 8-inning masterpiece like that again

Charlie Wacholz @dontfeedthecharlie.bsky.social · 4d

Dude for real

It honestly gave me a lotta hope! Snell can't pitch 6 more 8-inning shutouts like that! And once he stepped off the mound my boys stepped tf up

honestly that's so real. I'd definitely get a cat/dog but I can't afford one and I travel too much 😭 thankfully my family is like a 20-30 min bus ride away so I can always go see my pooch. But also I would love to have a little guy - that's what roommates are for!

truly didn't understand solitude and loneliness until I started living alone and I've spent longer in a foreign country where I didn't speak the language than in my current apartment

Clearly me not posting through the Brewers game is why they won. Sorry everyone, I'll do better next time!

Besides linking Tylenol in pregnant women to autism, RFK Jr. now says circumcision is part of the reason why kids are autistic.

"Children who are circumcised early have double the rate of autism, and it's highly likely because they're given Tylenol. None of this is positive..."

Organizers in New Mexico spent a decade electing lawmakers who would put the question of universal child care funded by oil and gas royalties on the ballot and in late 2022, voters were allowed to decide on the matter directly. They voted overwhelmingly to approve it.

Universal Child Care Is Popular. New Mexico Showed Us How We Can Win It.

A vibrant, grassroots, bottom-up movement was behind the victory, offering a template that other states can follow.

the city of los angeles burned in january in part because of a man who couldn’t stop generating images of burning cities on ChatGPT, and then after he lit the fire he asked if the fire he started was his fault

As far as Midwest regional pizzas go, it's probably my third fav after Detroit and Tavern styles. But I really like the format/slice style. And again, I'm a big fan of the taco pizza (invented in QC)

Love being behind on work and then losing hours' worth of work on a draft!!!
