Jeff Bezos has $222 billion.

If he paid my wealth tax this year, we could fund insulin in America for everyone who needs it plus free school lunch for every kid in Texas—and have plenty of money left over.

And Bezos would still have $215 billion dollars to spare.

I Work Very Hard, And I Would Like To Try Cake By A Horse Hello. I am a horse. I work very hard at my job of being a horse. When humans say move the heavy thing, I move the heavy thing. When humans sit on top of me and pull on my head, I carry them where they want to go. The main food the humans give me is hay and oats. But I am thinking it would be nice to have a different food. I am thinking I would like to try cake. Yes, yes. Cake. I know all about it. When humans eat cake, it is in glad times. It is the food for a celebration, such as when a woman becomes 47. I have seen cake on the Fourth of July. When humans have a cake, they stand around it and clap hands and smile and say happy birthday at each other. Sometimes there are beautiful markings on a cake, such as balloons or a pink shape. Sometimes the top of a cake is on fire and a boy must blow on the fire with mouth wind. This is the scariest cake. I do not want this kind. But I will eat any other cake. Any cake that is not the fire cake that tries to kill the boy. Please understand: I do not get money for doing work. I do not get to go inside the house. All I am either doing my horse job or standing in my pen or eating food off the floor. I always do these things. But I have never once gotten cake and I would like it very much. I have noticed that human children get to eat cake. But I am bigger than the children. I am more helpful to the farm. Children do not move the heavy things like me or let anyone ride on them. And yet they get cake. Maybe the humans will realize this. Maybe they will say, "You know who deserves cake? That horse. That horse whose back we are always on." Every day I dream about what it will be like if I get to eat cake. Here is what will happen. First, I will walk to the cake and putt my nose at it like hrrfff to make and stomping my hooves to make sure it is not a snake. Then I will trot in a circle to show that I am a horse and I am large. After that, I will nuzzle the cake to …

The horse op-ed is an instant classic. I can't tell you how much joy this piece gives me.

It should be taught in every introductory writing class in no small part because the horse arguments are so compelling. "I have noticed that human children get to eat cake. But I am bigger than the children."

Do Not Comply In Advance: bossy, already a cliche, implies permission to comply later

Fuck You, Make Me: leads by example, directs yelling at opposition instead of allies, easy to chant at a protest or put on a banner

YOU: Hi, my name is [NAME]. I’m calling from [ZIP CODE]. YOU: I am calling on [HOUSE MEMBER/SENATOR] to speak out against President Trump’s actions on Monday in freezing all federal aid. This is blatantly illegal; the Executive Branch can’t unilaterally decide to ignore laws that were passed by Congress, especially when it comes to financial aid. YOU: MOC must take action, and clarify how they will stop the freeze and ensure that the millions who are directly impacted by financial aid will not be harmed. YOU: [OPTIONAL COMMENT]

if we staff ICE with Uvalde police officers, they'll never enter schools

It was a Nazi salute.

For all the fucked up things happening today, I am homing tight to the good news of Leonard Peltier finally getting to go home.

It Is MLK Day. Do Not Despair. This Year Especially, We Have Work To Do. With delicious anticipation, we imagined it.

I pray this helps some of you today. We have a duty to Dr. King whose life was taken because he dared demand that this country face itself, to demonstrate that his work & sacrifice was not in vain. Let’s do it together. Please share. And subscribe.

Perfect illustrative photo to illustrate this story. To be fair there was probably a decent trove to choose from.

I adore Bones and his aggressive form of sincerity even when he's at his most pessimistic. He's experienced so much trauma in his life, but he's always striving to do the right thing and help people, sometimes at great personal risk. He never takes for granted that his actions have consequences.

Your confidence in me is very kind!

I am very happy with how my Rook looks, but I also recognize that I'll probably never have one of the more attractive Rooks out there because I do lack the skills, patience, and discerning eye to make them the best version of stunning. And that's OK.

Metastatic melanoma was a death sentence in 2015. Then Jimmy Carter stepped in. Jimmy Carter’s 2015 melanoma diagnosis introduced the world to immunotherapy, sparking future cancer research. Millions of cancer patients are living longer because of it, experts say.

Everything Jimmy Carter touched in life turned into something life-saving for others.

Michael Scott is the exact target audience for a Cybertruck 🤣

keep creating and destroying in 2025 and never stop.

It might tow your boat, but good luck towing anything gooseneck without crushing the top of your tailgate on the gooseneck's underside. I had to shackle down the rear tire shocks on my 2015 Silverado just to get it under my horse trailer.

Maybe one of those tiny flat ones that rich people put in their kitchens?

As someone who uses my truck to regularly pull a gooseneck horse trailer, the trend of trucks as "lifestyle" vehicles is ruining its usability for me. Even if I could afford it, I can't buy a new truck anymore. the backends have been jacked up so high for aesthetic, they don't fit under my gooseneck

Wut

Thanks Biden.

I'm actually loving this Wonder Woman fidget cube!

Not for nothing, but my first thought when reading this skeet was, "This makes it sound like John is Joe Hill's dad..."

Y'all this is my entire personality now.

A screen cap of two photos side by side. On the right is a picture of Wolverine from the cartoon Wolverine and the X-men. The picture is of his face in his yellow ans navy cowl. On the left side of the screen cap is a photo of an orange kitty with black markings that cover its eyes and ears so it looks just like Wolverine! The top of the screen cap just says "Him." Which is a very good point.

A most important post
