This isn’t really about Today’s Thing, but if you are a journalist you are either explicitly a leftwing activist or you are default serving the right. Neutral is rightwing we count those.

I’m so sorry you went through that. Humans are such complex fragile things, and we’re all doing our best to find each other in the dark.

This is such a good thread.

2005-2010 I think? I have a poor memory for chronology. Did we overlap?!

I like this much better.

huge and unexpected!

someone who cares about SCIENCE YOU MEAN

Oh shit 😭

❤️

I once saw Stephen Hawking rolling around with his entourage in Cambridge, MA on a Friday night. I (unfortunately) drunkenly yelled, “HEY ARE THERE INFINITE UNIVERSES?!”

He ignored me, but I like to think that was just his way of saying yes.

If there are infinite universes, there is a one in which I was not too late.

Ian, I’m so sorry. They become a part of us. Wishing beloved little Thistle a safe journey to whatever comes next.

I’m sorry you’re in the dark. ❤️

Hope it was a genuinely joyful one. ❤️

The same night Kamala Harris lost, a Jewish woman won a Senate seat in Michigan and a lesbian won re-election in Wisconsin. And a straight white Catholic guy named Bob Casey lost re-election in Pennsylvania when everyone (myself included) thought he was unbeatable.

my mom was 19 when I was born and I cannot conceive (ha.) of that

All lies in jest
But the itchy skin
Is flaking off my chest
Hm-hm-hm
Hm hm hm hm

Simon & Garfunkel - The Boxer (Audio) YouTube video by SimonGarfunkelVEVO

Truly, though, one of the most beautiful songs ever recorded.

ALL DRY AND RED
Still your skin does what it wants to
It is even on my head

It’s an ad for a medication for moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis. It stars 8x Grammy winner art garfunkel.

I am just a poor boy
Though my story's seldom told
I am scratching at my torso
For a moment of relief
It’s plaque psoriasis

I totally get you. Sometimes I’m like TOO MANY NOTIFICATIONS.

Anyway thank you so much for making me smile on a hard day. ❤️

YAY ❤️🫂

IT’s ME!

I’m not very good at this

Absolutely no idea why the author detached :(

Oh no I quoted this because it’s beautiful and made me so happy and you removed it! :(

Oh no!!

I love each one of them so much

The video is about Israel’s continued war crimes in Lebanon. This shit is going to break me.

Fighting gangs of mutants but also crippling brain zaps.

I just know it from screaming let’s go giants from the bleacher seats
