LCSW alt account where I express my feelings about politics and culture without bugging my people who aren’t chronically online. They don’t need to hear that mess. Trauma therapist. Addiction Specialist. Chronic Pain. Has seen some things. She/her.
The thing about Timothee Chalamet choosing to shit on ballet and opera is that his mom “majored in dance at LaGuardia High School and attended Yale University on a ballet scholarship. As a child, she danced with the New York City Ballet and later went on to perform in several Broadway musicals.”
I’ve started sayin “He’s wearing a wire!” when I see these glasses.
One man overheard and pulled them off. 😭😭😭
brianmcginnisnc Brian McGinnis' wife has NOT been allowed to see him in the hospital. He is currently awaiting surgery for severe injuries. Legal counsel has also been denied access. A Marine veteran. A firefighter. A father of four. And his family still cannot see him.
so apparently Brian McGinnis has been denied access to both his family and legal representation since a sitting senator broke his arm
I think this is a great argument, beautifully constructed
Vinay Prasad has been an a noxious influence on public health and drug regulation. Good riddance. UCSF should not take him back. He should wander in the wilderness forever. www.cnn.com/2026/03/06/h...
LA City Council’s City President Marqueece Harris-Dawson says he has been pulled over four times while a member of the council; the most recent was this week. He missed a committee meeting because of the stop, according to him.
Among the questions: “how do you have this vehicle,” according to him.
Yes he hateses us. 😂
My favorite feature about Jack Dorsey is that he is eternally cursed to work on promoting technologies that end up serving people he despises. There can be no greater revenge upon a person with shitty ideas that labor all they devote themselves to turns against who they are in theory and practice.
1. Yesterday, Joe Rogan called transgender people perverts and school shooters to his audience of tens of millions of people.
It was his most overt display of transphobia yet.
Democrats wanted to court this man and his listeners.
The latest from our journalist, S. Baum.
What a great idea. Hope it works out.
There’s a pretty strong norm in the union world against publicly criticizing other union leaders but at some point I think it becomes necessary for labor movement leaders to start saying “Sean O’Brien sucks.”
Otherwise this guy represents all unions in people’s minds

I do think “Graham Platner was a bartender who personally served some DC pundits and reporters and was known to them” is a pretty big part of the skeleton key to unlocking how he got so much cash and media attention so fast and why they’re so determined to stay all in on him now

Hi everyone! My name is Andrea LaFlamme and I'm running to unseat Susan Collins in the US Senate. I'm a feminist public health professor and the ONLY candidate in this race who has worked in education, municipal health, and as an elected union leader. (1/2)
ProPublica investigations can resonate for years
In 2023, we revealed how Columbia Univ had let an OB-GYN still treat patients despite despite decades of warnings he sexually assaulted them
Now, the NY AG is investigating

zero percent chance that Susan Collins doesn't immediately drop all of this the second the general election starts if this guy wins the primary - the DoD is 100% sitting on the file on this guy and will send it to her the second he wins the nomination
Killing people should not be something we do quicker than the speed of thought
100% it’s the reason I didn’t go into politics. I switched my major from political science to social welfare and psychology.
I’d suggest that the people who use Claude are feeling anxious, and the AI model is mirroring anxiety back to them.
It’s hard to properly convey the lunacy of these proposals to people outside aerospace.
Reflect wants to put gigantic mirrors in orbit and beam down sunlight at nighttime.
SpaceX wants a million more starlink sats.
If either of these actually happens, space will be unusable.
My daughter reported that the ICE presence outside her school during recess last week involved ICE officers sitting IN AN ICE CREAM TRUCK. And this wasn't kids misinterpreting. We had an email from the school the day it happened; we just didn't get the ice cream detail in the email.
I wish this quote wasn’t still so relevant
figure 5.1 U.S. Economic Growth, 1790–2012
it's funny you can see how much the New Deal fixed macroeconomic stability within the United States, and the elite hated FDR for it
A digitally drawn homage to the George Herriman comic strip Krazy Kat. Starting left of frame we see yellow Ignatz Mouse having just thrown a brick which is sailing across the center of the frame and in another instant will bash the oblivious Krazy Kat (a blue bipedal cartoon cat wearing a red scarf) in the back of the head as he walks innocently to the right. Everything is drawn in rough black pen and colored in pale washes. A speech bubble from Ignatz reads ‘Maybe it will…’, the word ’Happen’ appears in the whooshing trail of the sailing brick, and a final speech bubble belonging to the Kat reads ‘…Today’.
Powerless people are being sent to jail because of your cowardice @mayor.nyc.gov do something beyond empty words
They have identified more people to arrest
the Austin mass shooter was a Tesla employee who assaulted a coworker during a company-allowed prayer break late last year
the company refused to give the victim her assailant's name so she could press charges, and he went on to become a mass shooter

This thread is not about whether Platner is a Nazi. It’s about how he lies like a toddler when he’s cornered. And that’s enough. He’s not electable, and Susan Collins knows it. You can too, if you can read this thread, or this 18-page document. 2/
It's 1992, there's a Republican president with a war in the middle east and a recession.
It's 2008, there's a Republican president with a war in the middle east and a recession.
It's 2026, there's a Republican president with a war in the middle east...
Imagine this headline but with "Abolitionists" or "Muslims" or "Socialists" or even "Unitarians" instead of "Evangelicals."
