Listening to sad music when you’re already sad is definitely a form of therapy.

A bunch of friends went to see their first musical this weekend with Les Miserables. Their reactions have been funny.

"I didn't know they would sing the whole thing! I though musicals were mostly talking and then they occasionally broke out into song!"

Not since Oklahoma, my friend...

Every time I read an academic who has interesting things to say on issues of morality, and whom I might quote, I have to search them to see if they've been forced to resign because of harassment, sexual misconduct, or similar.

That's twice now.

one of my pet peeves is when people who are trying to hit on me starts off with “I’m not normally into/I normally prefer—“

just stop right there lol do not pass go

We can’t trust Palantir with our NHS data Is this really the company we should be entrusting with our health service’s digital architecture?

"Palantir is not just a problem of profiteering from our national healthcare system— it's a fundamental threat to the democratic control of our public infrastructure + the privacy of every citizen. By giving our taxes to this company, we are aiding their operations everywhere."

BREAKING: Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer has RESIGNED.

Her exit follows a tenure rocked by multiple scandals—including an investigation into an alleged affair with a security staffer and accusations of drinking on the job.

Keith Sonderling will serve as Acting Labor Secretary.

I pronounce the argument that Americans need guns to protect us from a tyrannical government officially dead. Kaput. We're living under a tyrannical government and the only people suffering from gun violence are innocent children and civilians. No one's using them against this government.

The DOJ is now 5 month in breach of releasing the Epstein files.

Then, make a beeline to read those books, if you can. Find out for yourself why those people want that book banned. Find out for yourself if they can be trusted to know what’s best for you.” ~ Jeff Zentner

Went in to see my doctor for my "annual" checkup today. (It'd been three years.)

The nurse thought my old weight must have been a typo (375 => 170), and the doctor was ridiculously thrilled with my success. I don't think I've ever been happy to see a doctor before.

I bought a portable music player (HiBy R3 II) a couple months ago.

Physical buttons, a headphone jack, good audio quality, local storage.

I bought albums on Bandcamp, and downloaded the files.

This is awesome. I missed this.

*whispers* it's perfectly acceptable to watch, and enjoy, the Marvel films right up to the end of 'Endgame' and think 'Yes, I enjoyed that, and that's where I'll leave it.'

Posting this every damn day!!!!

A round, fried hors d'oeuvre sits on a plate with a shocked expression. It is surrounded by others like it, except for an empty spot next to it.

I’m reading this lawsuit Kash filed against The Atlantic. I’m struggling to find where they were wrong.

A mass shooting that took the lives of eight children should stop this country in its tracks. Instead, the Shreveport tragedy disappeared from the headlines in a day. We cannot allow this level of violence to fade into background noise. Ending America’s gun‑violence epidemic is a moral oblligation.

I don’t understand folks who say Bluesky doesn’t have as much content as Twitter.

I get as much content for a day here as I can possibly handle, thank you very much.
