lmao I just heard a song from that for the first time with a caption that said something like "you're right, I don't think opera is for you"
my hot take is that Timothee has always been one of the weak links in Dune so now I can finally say it. he just is not the talent he thinks he is and the ego is not justified.
there's a lot of sincere yearning from people who were denied humanities higher education because they felt they had to get a degree for their career, but desperately want to engage in a deeper way. i made the post for them.
they said I was being "just like fox news"
20-somethings sure love to say "media literacy" at you without knowing what that means at all
was called anti-intellectual on tiktok for saying it's really important if you're getting into reading magazines to look up writers and recognize that many prestige writers have horrendous records (like pushing for invading Iraq) and you should consider that before uncritically taking on their POV
"Black text on playful red backgrounds: “I have four certified in-home childcares in SE that serve 48 Preschool for All children, and their families. I employ 18 full-time staff members. No other program in Multnomah County matches Preschool for All’s model of funding the additional staffing needed to support lead teachers while they are working with children in the classroom including those with special needs and behavioral challenges. While other programs offer only training, ideas, and suggestions; Preschool for All delivers these along with classroom aids and specialized outside support."
"We rely on Preschool for All to remain financially viable. Without it, closures are likely. For the first time in my 35 years in childcare, I can offer my staff a living wage, full benefits, and health insurance. This was never possible before and will not be sustainable without Preschool for All. Preschool for All funds allow me to hire and keep highly qualified teachers who stay year after year, providing continuity that’s best for children, parents, and schools. Parents often tell me: “Without Preschool for All, I would have had to quit my job.” Preschool for All is good for children. Good for families. Good for our economy.” - Melody N, Owner of Melody's Munchkins"
Preschool For All has been a game changer for preschool providers in our County. Keeping a big reserve tells providers like Melody that in case of an economic downturn, they won’t be left holding the bag. This keeps their doors open, letting parents go to work - creating a more stable economy✨
this is exactly right
the majority of the working class in the US is female
a disproportionate percentage of the working class in the US are people of color and/or immigrants to the US
these pundits and consultants just want a Tough White Daddy
Been really wild to watch Rolling Stone make a very obvious shift in editorial direction over the past few months. (And laying off most of the talented people who had been working there.)
A Statement from the Buffalo & Erie County Public Library
The Israeli regime is fascist and genocidal. The population supports the regime's actions at more than 80% in most polls. You don't have to argue with people online when these are facts.
My Condoleezonances to all the zoomers about to learn this name
Republicans are using kids as a smokescreen for what Big Tech lobbyists want: a national surveillance program to harvest our data with zero protections for people and their privacy.
We must fight this dangerous expansion of surveillance technology.
Well, gas is expensive, and food is expensive, and we’re doing a war nobody wants, but at least there are no jobs
Just last night I learned it's because we're seeing the space between colors broken up by tiny air bubbles (this is why colored plastic looks white when you bend it)
adding "as a parent" as if the status of being a parent out weighs public health expertise in order to yell at you and not seeing the irony of that
“A request for a restraining order shows Palacios’ ex-wife also accused him of assault, pressuring her for sex, and kicking in a door in her home.”
first time I saw this discourse was on livejournal in the late 00s and it goes the same way every time without fail
yes! this is exactly it. like I made $650 from my newsletter last year and that probably put me in the top 10% of earners for all I know.
my mom is the sort of person who really strongly believes that it is easy and likely to win a national contest in a country with 350 million people.
i cannot believe she was so sincere that she wrote it down. the paper said "wendy's chief tasting officer. $100,000 wendyschieftastingofficer.com "

cute
today my mom greeted me with a piece of paper telling me to apply to be a wendys work from home taster
Rolling back NY's Climate Law will do nothing to reduce costs, because it isn't the cause of rising costs. The oil and gas status quo created the affordability crisis, and cheap, quickly-deployable renewables, storage, and efficiency will get us out of it. spectrumlocalnews.com/nys/central-...
I'm a pessimistic person by nature. I've spent the years since 2020 building the skill of writing about policy with a hopeful, determined tone even when I'm denouncing something I think is very dangerous. It's felt a lot harder over the last year, and basically impossible since the start of 2026.
I've blocked all the guys with 30k+ followers who kept really getting under my skin posting "no one is writing about this" because they literally just do not read the work of women journalists and it has improved the bluesky experience greatly
From Casey Means' own book: "the ability to prevent and reverse" conditions like cancer and Alzheimer's "—and feel incredible today—is under your control and simpler than you think."
This week on The Optimizer, @vicmsong.bsky.social lays out how wellness influencers exploit public hopelessness.
