If you haven’t listened to Rosalia’s LUX yet, you absolutely should.

It’s only a few days old and in several languages I don’t understand, but this is a great listen

Refusing to provide promised, life sustaining support to a specific class of a country's citizens - especially for political leverage - should be considered a form of genocide, if it isn't already

I think the most annoying thing about my working memory is how often i will forget that I remembered something and get that “i fucked up” jolt for no reason at all

apropos james watson’s death i had an idle thought today about how stupid race/iq stuff sounds. “buh if your skin is darker you are biologically less smart” is a thing only a dumbass can believe

I spit on the reputation of the U.S. Supreme Court, not that it can get much more degraded than it has already become by the repulsive actions of its disgusting GOP members.

You can hear the transphobic sneer in these words.

Listen, EVERYBODY thinks their dog is the best dog, but here's the thing: they're right
Oh sweet I have one of those
Four YEARS of expecting Trick or Treaters without success and now the first year we bank on not seeing any and we get TWO GROUPS.

If they were here last year they would’ve gotten KING SIZE.

not that I’m complaining.
I have a similar moment with my dogs every morning, but giving all 3 the time they deserve takes time! glorious glorious time!

oh just straight up gutter racism!
So here's Andrew Cuomo reacting to Maria Bartiromo wondering if Mamdani will "change the look of New York" and have Muslim women "completely covered up," telling her that Mamdani "doesn't understand New York culture" because he has "dual citizenship" and "he's a citizen of Uganda."

It should go without saying that these mass internment camps will be much, much more expensive to operate than just giving the homeless free or subsidized housing would be.
Under Trump, the draconian future of homelessness policy is coming into focus: mass internment. Utah is building a 16-acre site to detain up to 1,300 homeless people inside locked "accountability centers." This is profoundly alarming.

Vital reporting from @ellenbarry.bsky.social and Jason DeParle:
In Utah, Trump’s Vision for Homelessness Begins to Take Shape

Autism is a social disability because most people don't have empathy for the way we communicate... yet we're the ones constantly accused of lacking empathy. Make it make sense. 😒

They want to help him because they like him.
The media's complete lack of curiosity over our nearly 80 year old President's health when he has permanent bruising on his right hand, swollen ankles, facial drooping, disappeared for days from public view twice in the last 2 months and just had an unexplained MRI is notable

Disabled Americans experience the highest rates of poverty of every marginalized group in America. 27% live below the poverty line (12% for ableds).

Their median earnings are $18,865 compared to $28,983 for the abled.

These numbers WILL get worse.

If you can help you will save lives.
