BTW this week of ALL weeks, our senators/reps will be listening VERY CLOSELY to constituents. Call their offices (the one most local to you is best, if they have multiple) and tell the very nice staffers what you think about any and all subjects that are important to you. Make yourself heard.

This was a 4-3 decision.

I am once again begging the skyline to use alt text and not repost things which are missing alt text. Among other things, a lack of alt text means a lack of being able to filter things out using Mute Words. This means a lot to me! Thank you in advance.

It’s constantly astonishing to me how determined nearly every major cultural and governmental institution is to pretend not only that the pandemic is over but that it never happened at all

There are so many other useful things this senator could be doing with his time, like signing onto a special counsel to investigate Justice Thomas or backing moves to impeach Alito & Thomas. So many other possibilities 'for the good of the country.'

Well friends, the two-week US stay is nearing its end. More than many past visits, this one was geared towards the teen's interests, plus spending time with his adult brother. I think we covered the major bases without incident which I consider a win. 😌

This story reveals so much about how the leadership classes across industries and organizations have adopted neoliberal doctrine as sacrosanct. This case is particularly wild.

I don’t think “but can they do that?” is the most informed question to guide Project 2025 analysis, not without “what do they mean by that?” and “are they already working on that?” and “who are their allies on that?”

Now realize that the only US TV broadcasts I can watch for longer than 2 minutes are sports: Soccer, lacrosse(?!), basketball. Everything else strains my patience.

Watching Argentina vs. Canada after the Euros is like being introduced to a different sport. Definitely spicier, more heated, riskier play.

The perfect setting for my restless brain. Colyer Lake about 25min from Penn State. Undeterred by several T**mp supporter signs on the way here, I'm glad I made the trip.

I've been watching a mix of news stations while here and the need to create and push content 24/7 means that it's all breathless and consistently incomplete. What a context to weather on the daily! 👀

11 days spent in this country of my birth and my most extreme hedonistic tendencies are revealed anew. From Sweet Tarts to Twizzlers to pop tarts to Applebee's to Cracker Barrel, too. Call it a coping mechanism. #travel

Related: the contract for my rental car is on my phone. If I get pulled over, it's all I've got. That's scary.

If you don’t watch cycling I want to share the joy of Eritrean Biniam Girmay, who is the first Black person to win a stage in the Tour de France and now won his second! In the first week! And he’s in green, which means he’s winning the most sprints (and beating Jasper Phillipsen, which is great.)
