AI Bro from yesterday blocked me. I get that he was upset that people mocked his profession and said it was bad and useless.

Michael Sheen, John Oliver, Trae Young, and others have bought and forgave millions in debt — not for fame, but to free strangers from financial pain. Quiet kindness like this deserves celebration. Here's to using power to lift others. #DebtForgiveness #KindnessMatters #ChristmasSpirit
The actor Michael Sheen used all his money to start a fake debt collecting business, buy 900 people in Wales's debt, and excused it. If Musk bought ALL $194 billion in medical debt in the U.S. and excused it in the same way, he'd still be the world's riches man by hundreds of billions of dollars.

Times have been tough in this Ohio town since they closed the old sex crimes redacting factory. So when Trump, Bondi, and Blanche redacted Trump’s name from hundreds of documents describing sex crimes, they finally had something to cheer about. But now the woke mob wants to take that all away.

It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans.

The contrast between ordinary citizens courageously confronting Trumpist bullying, and billionaires and CEOs obsequiously bending the knee– this spectacle in its clear simplicity provides a lesson we should not forget.

Let's make a deal. The CDC can end recommendations. States, on the other hand, should make the counter-rule: if your unvaccinated child comes to school, infects other students, and one of those children dies, the parents will be charged with negligent homicide.
RFK Jr. is going to end CDC recommendations for most childhood vaccines.
It will take a few years before the deaths and disabilities ramp up to a level that even the most vile Republican cannot tolerate.
RFK Jr. will be long gone and unaccountable, as our babies die from preventable illness.

Telling me that Trump will suffer in jail and lose all of his ill-gotten gains, but only if Clinton endures the same is like telling me that I can have two million dollars instead of one million.

Maybe I'm wrong! Maybe people will love this! But man, it feels like there are a million different ways you could engage with interesting questions about the roles that faith and religion play in Americans' lives, and "Steven Pinker vs. Ross Douthat" is just the laziest and hackiest one.

It feels like I've run out of things to say about the Democrats.
When we're almost a full year into this and they're still voting for Trump's nominees, I'm not sure how you can make the case that the party is salvageable.

Sorry to always repeat this, but it’s important: my trans kid saw multiple specialists +had therapy for over a year before receiving any gender-affirming care. My short cis child had hormones/puberty blockers aggressively pushed on him by drs starting at age 5 bc they were concerned about his height
cis people are NOT FUCKING REAL. they don't exist

Some Dems have told themselves only ~1% of the population is trans so they can dip their toe in the anti-trans filth and come out clean.
I don't have any trans family members—but it still makes me irate. I see it as a huge red flag, a sign you are unprincipled and untrustworthy. And I'm not alone.

We are parents of a trans kid and our family takes this very, very personally. If you intentionally make life harder for our beloved daughter, it’s EXTREMELY hard to think of you as an ally, to say the least. @amyklobuchar.com - you still send us requests for money, while hurting our kid. Disgusted.
Here are the 28 Dem Senators who voted to advance the first federal ban on trans athletes & a federal definition of sex that would make trans & intersex people non-existent: Angela Alsobrooks (MD), Tammy Baldwin (WI), Richard Blumenthal (CT), Lisa Blunt Rochester (DE), Chris Coons (DE), ->
