Actually got choked up remembering having a president like this.

I don't get why people care. I truly don't. Masking is great for avoiding all sorts of illnesses.

This is a valid point: whenever you see this sort of high-pressure sales tactic turned on a technology, you can be CERTAIN that it's a fake—actually useful new tech sells itself!

And don't underestimate the effectiveness of FOMO as a tool in the hands of a con artist.

Me to 3yo: What do you want for your birthday party theme?

3yo: “Poopoo & peepee theme! We can get apple juice for the pee, so a skeleton pees and you drink the skeleton pee but it’s okay because it’s juice”

Me: ..K I was thinking like “dinosaurs” but let’s put a pin in “piss fountain of the dead”

This was an amazing, important article. Thank you so much to Charmaine Chua for writing it and to this journal for publishing it.

Really fascinating post from @charmainechua.bsky.social on the history of the warehouse, and what that means as ICE tries to turn warehouses into concentration camps.

If the hardcore band’s guitarist looks like this you’re about to die in that pit

Concentration. Camps.

We should be learning from other countries...

American Conversations: Vanessa Williamson YouTube video by Heather Cox Richardson

Heather Cox Richardson recently put a video conversation up about taxes from a (U.S.) historical point of view that was really interesting. www.youtube.com/live/aBcPKrw...
