Absolutely unconscionable

Linda Yaccarino replies to a Zohran Mamdani tweet to say that taxing rich people's penthouses is "actually one of the scariest things I have ever seen"

Zohran Mamdani said he's going to start taxing rich people who buy luxury housing in NYC but don't actually live in there, and the former CEO of Twitter/X called it "actually one of the scariest things I have ever seen."

Thor, I’ve tried to explain it to them so many times

Talking appearances, AA, cultural shame, and connection with Jasmine “It was hard going to a meeting and realizing ‘oh, not only am I the only trans person here, but I’m also the only queer person here.’"

Really grateful my friend Jasmine was willing to talk to me about growing up trans when she “literally didn’t even know the word,” substance use, and her experiences in very different AA rooms. askasoberlady.substack.com/p/appearance...

The infinite growth model is one of the worst things to happen to journalism/media. At some point you reach the ceiling of people who want to read your magazine! You can just make enough money to pay people well and publish things and not grow forever!

Yeah it’s a step and a half away from “boys will be boys”

“This week brought us another “will they ever learn?” moment in American politics. Eric Swalwell, a prominent Democratic House member and a front-runner in the race for California governor, had his political career blown up by allegations of degeneracy and abject stupidity.”

Four words to say what should take 4 letters: rape. Allegations of rape.

Young adult happiness is falling. Percent of young people who are pretty or very happy has dropped from 88% to 76% over the last 15 years after having held fairly steady between 1980 and 2010

My hottest “I have no data to back this up” take is that phones aren’t making young people less happy. What’s making them less happy is living in a world where everyone is having their reality defined by recommendation algorithms that can only care about whether something keeps you watching.

I still get threats from men I wrote about a decade ago who are angry I covered federal lawsuits against them related to sexual assault allegations. To my personal email, to new work emails. I don’t think readers understand how difficult and laborious it is to get these stories published

and newspapers are settling legal fights they should win.

Most journalists are not sitting on stories about (alleged) sexual abusers. They’re fighting like hell to get enough sourcing and documentation to clear the many obstacles to publication.

Stories about sexual abusers are actually v difficult to get published. Building trust w/ sources, getting documentation, checking every fact, working w/ legal over every word—the bar is high. Meanwhile publications are folding, staff are laid off…1/2

Impeachment As A Referendum On The Iran Fiasco Getting caught trying to stop Trump will do much more for Democrats' public image than fighting internally over whether to blacklist a podcaster. And, at some point, it might work.

Brian Beutler @brianbeutler.bsky.social has a good argument for this:

"With the House of Representatives back in session this morning, I think Hakeem Jeffries should force a vote on a privileged resolution to impeach Donald Trump as a first order of business."

I went to my first recovery meeting in more than a decade How running from my brain and flaking on book club showed me that the 'group' part of my recovery isn't over.

no one was more surprised (and annoyed) than me

Honestly cannot think of a time I knew less what was going to happen at court than I feel ahead of oral arguments on birthright citizenship tomorrow.

The fact that this is getting a full hearing instead of a 9-0, per curiam, benchslap is already beyond disturbing.
