As I observed in my Substack Round Up this past week, the endgame of the military strikes against drug cartels in international waters is to lay the groundwork to use lethal military force against Americans at home. Pay attention open.substack.com/pub/asharang...

It was a higher than usual tide in the SFBay today.

Always fun to watch the ocean migrate onto the land.

Good to know about Toradol. I thought Dilaudid was amazing. But of course you can’t tell them what you need in the emergency room or they think you’re an addict.

I feel for you! I only had one once. But I dread ever having one again.

And, if you ever get an ovarian cyst, don’t let them mess around w the morphine. Useless go straight to the Dilaudid. It’s the only thing that works.

We called it Vitamin A. It changed lives.

Ok technically it became available over the counter in the US in 1984. But I didn’t discover it until 1985 because no one thought to tell women with menstrual cramps that it was helpful. No one even told women that their cramps were a legitimate reason to take a pain med.

It was the Stone Age.

My hysterectomy at 50 should have been at 40! I was sleeping on towels to keep the bleeding from ruining mattresses, and was anemic.

Had to use NyQuil in college when my period cramps arrived because (get this) there was no ibuprofen in 1981-5.

it's really not a coincidence that culture writing is out and right-wing shilling is in. We are trying to change that at The Flytrap. Check us out:

Heather Honey, a high-profile denier of Donald Trump’s loss in the 2020 election, was appointed to a senior DHS position in which she’ll help oversee election security.

“DHS now appears poised to become a primary amplifier of false election conspiracies pushed by our enemies,” one expert said.

Heather Honey has been appointed to a senior position in the Department of Homeland Security. State election officials and voting experts are concerned.

This is a breathtaking abuse of the law and power by the President of the United States.

America is on the brink of martial law.

This evening, President Trump is ordering 400 members of the Texas National Guard for deployments to Illinois, Oregon, and other locations within the United States. No officials from the federal government called me directly to discuss or coordinate.

We must now start calling this what it is: Trump’s Invasion. It started with federal agents, it will soon include deploying federalized members of the Illinois National Guard against our wishes, and it will now involve sending in another state’s military troops.

The premise of the series is to interview people on the condition that the interview not air until the subject has passed away.

This.

Empathy has to be formed in relationships where the “other” can confront the person who extends their compassion, not only via imagined relationships with lives that don’t or can’t challenge that person.

Without the potential for confrontation, empathy is fetishism.

Hagen Blix @hagenblix.bsky.social · 3d

Empathy limited to objects that can be *imagined* as subjects but that won't actually confront you as subjects is an essential aspect that ties a lot of fascist and fascism-adjacent projects together, imho. Animals, robots, unborn children, even the anti-feminist imagination of women, etc

💯 “This compact is a ‘reward’ in exactly the same sense that it is ‘rewarding’ to purchase protection from the Mafia. The compact is an open, explicit threat.” They tried “bespoke negotiated dealmaking with individual schools.” Now, they turn to schools deemed “likeliest” to accept their “overtures”

Joey Fishkin @fishkin.bsky.social · 4d

I thought I'd put the administration's proposed "compact" with universities in context, so I wrote the blog post below.

It's especially for journalists covering this story!

Many details about how the compact itself works and why the administration has retreated to this strategy.

October 5: Apologies for the bad news, but today is one of the 3 unluckiest days of the year in the Roman calendar. Definitely let people know that the underworld opens up to the living today (mundus patet) and so you just can’t leave your house, especially to sail (also on August 24 & November 8).

The tomb was designated the “Tomb of Cerberus” after the incredible mural of Hercules fighting the three-headed dog that guarded the underworld.

The Vice President of the United States used his social media page to tell Joy Reid, a private citizen with no connection to the government, that she should express "gratitude" for how this country has treated her.

Black women remain the most consistent targets in all of this.

No idea what started this - but I can tell you that sites like this have petroleum in the groundwater. As tides rise, saltwater accelerates its breakdown into methane and hydrogen sulfide. Both explosive gases.

Coastal sites w petroleum in the groundwater are literally waiting to explode.
