WIFE: I learned that the day after Thanksgiving is the busiest day of the year for plumbers...
ME: Because everyone clogs the toilets?
WIFE (eyes narrowing): ... because people dump turkey grease down the sink.

One of my favorite takes on this website by the Ball Knowers was that the year plus of cracking down on anti-genocide youth movements in this country, on campuses and otherwise, had no effects whatsoever on turnouts come November nor in general for mobilization etc. Goldfish levels of myopia.
I think @brendannyhan.bsky.social is exactly right in this piece, but I’d go one step further here. Elites very explicitly told young people to sit down and shut up. Society punished them for standing up for their beliefs, and targeted and vilified the organizers. Now we need need them.

Biden's "we will cure cancer under my administration" may have been laughably optimistic at best, but it sure beats the Trump admin's "not if we have anything to say about it"

Ryan Lizza is playing the role of Haters’ Santa for me right now which makes sense because Santa is definitely Olivia Nuzzi’s type (several hundred years old, still owns slaves)
Feels like Christmas has really come early for the haters this year but I think they can still give us even more

The Zohran press conference is your regular reminder that the entire administration folds like tissue paper at the slightest hint of confidence and conviction, and thus the fact that national democrats are playing a game of capitulation and weakness is exactly why they're all getting away with it

This week, I withdrew from a speaking engagement at a public university because they sent me a list of prohibited “words & concepts.” I will not humor this censorship. It does a disservice to the stories I’m discussing & the audience, who deserve unfettered access to information & conversation.

One of the smallest and most important acts of resistance you can do as a Queer person is to refuse to hate yourself.
