I think that we should be talking about what Trump is trying to do to trans people in the context of the Nuremberg laws.

Raw milk is one of those ideas that can really only take hold when people haven't seen a cow. if you see a cow from let's say ten feet or less you immediately understand the problem that pasteurization is solving

They're playing right into his hands and making him a martyr. They're showing who the system protects and who it doesn't.
People die because an insurance company denies claims? Too bad.
CEO gets murdered? CEO hotlines are created and the full force of the government comes down on the murderer.

Over on X, Musk seems to be pushing his own posts directly onto users' notification pages, even if they do not follow him, in a category comically labeled 'Elon Musk' above the breaking news that 'Elon Musk posted'
He's making those X devs implement new levels of dear leader shit over there

This feels like one of the definitely moments of the government funding saga today. Congressman openly and straightforwardly bowing to Elon.

if we’re going to abandon reason, embrace superstition, and regress as a society, we should at least bring back tunics, houppelandes, and elaborate hats. we do not need to look this boring while we’re at it

A Christmas Carol is the scariest ghost story about the scariest fear known to humankind, wasting your life
I was always puzzled by that "scary ghost stories" line as well, but someone explained it as Dickens' Christmas Carol. Not sure how scary it is, but I guess it qualifies as a ghost story.

One of my immediate thoughts about HBO not renewing Sesame Street is that we live in a moment where being kind is an inherently political act.

Explaining to my three year old that Elmo has to go away because he wasn't providing enough value to shareholders. My son turns to me and says "while I personally enjoy Sesame Street I understand that corporations must put their obligations to shareholders above consumer demands."

Seeing a lot of takes on the Sesame Street cancellation that forget how we got here. The show is expensive to produce, as these things go, and PBS could no longer afford its license fee. And in the streaming era, it had limited ways to pay for itself.
