We're off to see the boss class 🎶
"The greatest trick the boss class ever pulled," says Girl, "was making management its own area of study - creating a class of people whose only BUSINESS is BUSINESS." Cat runs up behind her on the yellow brick road as she remains engrossed in her own thoughts. "And if there's no skill-based barrier to entry in this elite then their in-group social cohesion becomes paramount to maintaining their privilege." "The second greatest trick was to cast a boss class as inevitable," says Cat. "They HAVE to cover for each other," Girl says, "it's the only skill they have!" "So the question is why them," says Cat. "The third greatest trick" says Girl. "-instead of why ANYONE" says Cat. Giel pauses, sad and ashamed. "They got my nose," she says. "They could be pulling coins out of our ears!" Says Cat.

I read this year, completely at random. Bizarre and painful. I think it's an underrated gem and could be read as a feminist classic.

What a sad, strange book. After the death of her mother, a young woman is left with a violent, bullying father and his new spiteful girlfriend. What starts as a kind of Cinderella tale becomes something simultaneously more fantastic and unsettling - a story of innocence in a cruel world.

from a state party director
I don’t know how many people have actually internalized this, but the vast majority of local Democratic operations are staffed and run by blue-haired little old ladies who have been doing this for 40 years and are funding it with bake sales, and are keeping the flame alive in a time when parties are as weak as they’ve ever been. If you are under the age of 50 and you show up and act normal for, like, 3 months, they will do whatever you want because they’re so excited to have a young person there. Parties are weak right now because of some factors that are outside of our control, but a lot of factors are within our control and the big one is that we just haven’t paid enough attention to the atomic-level units, and party infrastructure. If you strengthen those, then party identity as a whole will follow. Party strength as a whole will follow.

they’ve been saying it and saying it and saying it, like we all knew, but there’s something about seeing it in print on the official government site where people who don’t know any better will still go looking for information that just really sent a chill down my spine

The U.S. government is now inarguably spreading medical disinformation that is going to kill babies preferentially.

Period.

This is an INTOLERABLE. UNPRECEDENTED. DANGEROUS. ATTACK. ON ALL OF US.
Vaccine Safety MENU V For Everyone NOV. 19, 2025 KEY POINTS • The claim "vaccines do not cause autism" is not an evidence-based claim because studies have not ruled out the possibility that infant vaccines cause autism. • Studies supporting a link have been ignored by health authorities. • HHS has launched a comprehensive assessment of the causes of autism, including investigations on plausible biologic mechanisms and potential causal links.

What's from Chicago, hates Illinois Nazis, and is holy as fuck?

It's the Pope in 1982.
Exactly what it says on the label: The Pope in 1982. He's wearing a black hat, dark RayBans, and looks like he's a member of the Blues Brothers.

Banger piece by Natalie Adler on the ultimately dehumanizing and mainstream-affirming BIG SWISS and MILK FED, among others. The latter in particular I found deeply compelling and hot, but ultimately empty and insincere.

What an insult to all Alaska. This is outrageous.
A screenshot of the ADN story with highlighted text quoting an anonymous EPA spokesperson: "A spokesperson for the federal Environmental Protection Agency on Thursday defended the decision, saying "due to the proactive cancellation of this grant, $20 million of hardworking US tax dollars are currently sitting in the U.S. treasury instead of swept into the Kuskokwim River."

my best guess as to what’s going on with gender and society is that all the discourse around abortion + trans rights bubbled up and caused heterosexuals to start thinking about gender en masse, along with all the other stuff, and the untenability of it all just isn’t something normies can handle
