I just saw Library Journal’s review of _I Would Meet You Anywhere_, a “stunning, brave, extraordinary book” by @thesusanito.bsky.social. We will be adding it to our collection, of course. This will be one you cannot miss. 🥚

There's a bakery up the street from me where they saw my email on an order and started drawing tubas on the bags. So I saved em for a year and made a collage for them. Which they then hung up and curated like a museum piece. I love em there and they're always happy to see me ❤️

yes, we boiled the planet, but it was worth it to make a machine that, instead of adding two plus two, takes the statistical average of every answer to questions containing "what" "is" "two" and "plus" from a database of illegal cell phone transcripts and returns a fake nude pic of a high schooler

1923: Hitler’s failed coup. No real consequences. No fundamental changes. 1933: Hitler takes power. Make no mistake, “Project 2025” is Trump’s art of “Mein Kampf”.

I'm not thrilled with Biden, but I'm ignoring the bullroar because DJT as President is an existential threat to me. DJT said he wants "others" out of the country -- this means YOU if you are BIPOC, LGBTQIA, or otherwise non-normative.

Biden's age and poor debate showing is obviously a legit story, but what we've seen over the last week is a hysterical feeding frenzy aimed at some combination of self-vindication, settling old scores, claiming a scalp, and the desire of some in the media to have Trump back in power. (1/2)

Deeply ironic that immediately before the 4th of July--the annual celebration of the Founders' decision to break away from monarchy--the Supreme Court justices who profess loyalty to the founding era understanding of the Constitution decided to make the president a king

I don’t know how to explain to our nation’s top editorial boards that the Democratic Party is an actual organization with a lot of rules and history to it, not just a store that distributes team jerseys, and it has already selected delegates to its nominating convention.

It’s a very obscure question but I did some research and it turns out that the president who led us out of the Depression and kicked Hitler’s ass was actually in a wheelchair? Who knew?

Some of them are ALSO so far up Trump's network that we should read accordingly. NYT has now assigned Haberman to Biden stories. That's ... a confession.

"...I don’t think now’s a good time to cave to a pundit tantrum..." As an old fart, I don't think anybody should pay attention to anything the pundit class spews out -- we all have eyes to see and ears to hear and dumbass filters won't help to clarify anything.

As someone who writes a fair amount of public facing articles that are always rigorously fact-checked prior to publication (something I greatly appreciate), I'm always amazed to see how many articles get through the publication process with seemingly no fact-checking at all.

Days after the Chevron ruling a corporate healthcare system - which doesn’t pay any taxes despite being a profit-driven business - is now suing Medicare so that they can collect more *tax dollars* w/o having to meet the standards of care set by CMS. Some CMS regulations may be silly but this is bad.
