The cross-country Greyhound I took in 1989 had a "smoking section."
I commented on the fact that yes, things smelled terrible for a long time but I also want to say that a lot of people on here may be old enough to remember the tipping point for places like bars and restaurants but the OLD olds remember airplanes, movie theaters, most workplaces.
this is a good reminder of how things that are shitty but have been accepted as normal and inevitable can actually turn out to be abnormal and evitable with some science, time, education and political will

@itspetergabriel.bsky.social why were you hanging out with Jeffrey Epstein in 2011?
By 2011 Epstein had already:
-registered as a sex offender
-plead guilty to solicitation of prostitution with a minor under the age of 18
-settled multiple civil lawsuits brought against him by victims

Statement from the NYT, which is useful context, but still feel like you gotta mention it in the column!

CNN has suddenly discovered Tennessee's Patriot Front compound that was a subject of an extensive NewsChannel 5 investigation back in March. Here is my report: 1/ www.newschannel5.com/news/newscha...
'This isn't your granddad's KKK.' Inside the hate group expanding its presence in Tennessee
They are the largest hate group in America, wrapping themselves in the red-white-and-blue of the flag, marching into the middle of American cities and claiming to be patriots.

It’s wild how little attention this story has gotten.
This report from Fox doesn’t mention that the killer was enraged that one of the girls had dissed Charlie Kirk, nor the fact that he laughed about it on a stream after cops questioned him but didn’t make an arrest.

Alleged stalker detained then released after girls’ hit-and-run deaths, arrested days later: officials
A 17-year-old charged with murdering two girls in New Jersey was allegedly detained for a short time on Monday before he was arrested on Wednesday.

So, he's bonkers.
Every part of this is bonkers. The intro is bonkers. The transition to his health is bonkers. The mention that other presidents didn't need cognitive exams is bonkers. The claim that this screening test is somehow hard is bonkers. The idea that criticism of him is treason is bonkers. All of it.

Hot dang this video essay hits hard, is well researched, and aligns so well with what I think ails this world.
I feel that now, more than ever, solidarity of the 99% will truly be one of the few things that can fix this absolute mess of a techno feudal-ish world.

What is that thing when you're up late and start thinking of something you should do to make life less hellish but then immediately realize you're never actually gonna do that?

I used to think I was pretty savvy about music. Then I looked at The Quietus year-end list. That opened up so many new things to me.
Year-end critics’ lists exist for people to fight over, so I’m happy when people complain about them. But the complaint I will never get is, “I’ve never heard of most of these movies/albums/shows.” Yes, and? Why be mad about learning about stuff you didn’t know before from the news?
