I'll get to the books one day. 😭 Since I restarted classes and started practicum, I have been such a busy bee.

A person sits under trees in the woods, cooking something in a pot over a fire.

Jay Chester, 45, has spent their entire life trying to do the right thing, but has discovered the hard way that this is basically impossible because capitalism.

palantir should be viewed as the enemy of modern society

Mamdani: "What are we fighting for?. When you look back at the history books of our party, 100 years ago we had a very clear vision of what we were fighting for. It's sad that for too many Americans, when they want to look for ambition in the Democratic Party, then have to turn to a history book."

I don’t think we talk nearly enough about the fact that corporations like Amazon, don’t pay a single cent to maintain the roads they use, the transportation system they use, the courts they use, they pay nothing for the infrastructure that is absolutely critical to their business.

MAGA bots

When MAGA needs supporters but the best they can do is bots lip-syncing patriotism.

I think it meant a Trumper or a Trump supporter.

Word.

I often relate to when he kinda loses it and tells Shane the view is there and ends with, "Fuck!" I have that exact vibe when I'm overstimulated and overwhelmed. 🫠

Always worth rewatching!

Amal is such a gracious soul. This week's donations I don't think will buy more than a few days of meals, but never is she less than warm and affectionate. I wish I could get a bit more for her and Naser. 😥❤️‍🩹

A banner that is light green. In the background is a painted texture, with a black ink drawing of a hooded crow. The title is dark green and says, "Help survivor Ahmed start his degree." In the bottom corner are some green paint strokes, over which the text reads, "Give: tinyurl.com/HelpAhmedF. Accountability: tiny.cc/HelpAhmed.”

I genuinely don't know how to do this. We have one day to help a children's therapist from Gaza with living expenses for the next month. State violence + more mean that genocide hasn't ended for Ahmed while he studies abroad.

Lynne Thigpen as "The Chief" from Where In Time Is Carmen Sandiego

Lock the fuck in, Gumshoes. Carmen Sandiego stole a priceless wax pressing of "One of These Nights" by the Eagles. You've got to stop her before she travels back in time to 149 BC Carthage and trades it to Scipio Africanus the Younger for a kilo of the good shit.

I thought it landed closer to 1:21, but close enough. I loved that!

Ilya Rozanov reacts to his father's endless criticism at the draft in Heated Rivalry.

The way Ilya's face falls when his father tells his new team manager that he's "lazy" after being the number 1 draft pick is a masterclass of microexpressions from Connor Storrie in #heatedrivalry

As someone who spent most of their childhood trying to "measure up" to my mom's expectations while constantly coming up short, I felt this scene so deeply. I ached for Ilya, and I resented his father. And the shame in front of someone else! Ugh. It eats my insides up.

Whose? I'm always interested in analysis.

Couldn't find the account, so I assume it's banned or deleted.
