Jeffries: This is the same group of people who raced back to Washington so they could enact the largest cut to Medicaid in American history.
Phang: I call it the big bullshit bill.

I am so sad to hear that fic authors feel pressured to write smut. You all know I read fic like it's my job, and I have NEVER, not once, decided whether to read a fic based on the rating. Write what calls to you, that is what shines through.

Ok. Now had a chance to check and, well, at least some docs do appear to be straight up classic redaction fail. And there are some *interesting* bits here.

Greetings from Kyiv.
Morning began with missiles.
My train to visit my mom left without me –
I couldn’t leave my dearest ones during the attack.
Mom said her whole town is without power.
Slept poorly. Warcoffee time. More missiles on the way.

Elon Musk battering Harvard today. Attacking people for political party affiliation. Elon is normalizing terrorizing institutions & infrastructures that are not registered with "The Party". This is enforced identification & prohibited identification blooming across the nation. A Nazi battleplan.

What a mess! Wyoming has some of the least competitive ACA markets in the country. In places like Teton County, there has often been only one ACA insurer (Blue Cross Blue Shield of Wyoming). That lack of competition drives prices way up. This is ridiculous.

My sister messaged to tell me that my nieces and nephews have decided that my boyfriend and I are getting married. They’ve already worked out what roles they will have. While I’d like to think I’d have a say on the matter, it’s nice to know that my family is ready to throw me a big gay celebration.

How do you tune (or modulate) an instrument in ancient Babylonia?
Fragmentary instructions have survived that tell you how to go from one mode to another on a 9-stringed musical instrument called a sammû

really cannot be emphasized enough that bari weiss has literally never done journalism. i don’t mean that in the pejorative sense. i mean that in the “has never performed the job she was hired to do” sense
One explanation for Bari killing the story is that she did so as a public act of fealty to the administration. But another is that, as an inexperienced journalist, she doesn’t understand that a refusal to go on the record is a kind of comment in and of itself
