Just a thought: How about we stop shaming the poor for buying things that may not be essential, and start shaming the rich for making a profit off things that are essential?

Normalize cat-calling other women! Twice in the last week I’ve had other ladies roll down their car windows to tell me I look great/they love my outfit, and it’s so good for the soul. More of this energy, girls! 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽

Will Iran Break Trumpism? Podcast Episode · The Ezra Klein Show · March 27 · 1h 8m

10 minutes in and I’m like “Are you kidding me bro?” What Caldwell means by the success of anti-DEI policies but won’t say is that it made white people more comfortable. He’ll never admit to the enormous cost to everyone else.

Here’s a thought: I would happily write “salary provided by X person” in my signature line if only you would pay me what I’m actually worth. This system is so gross.

Not to mention they are laying people off, forcing us to cut back on needed expenses, etc, due to budget cuts from the current federal gutting of funding. But yes, please, let the billionaire class continue to buy influence as long as their NAME gets slapped on a building or in a signature line.

I stg if I have to see this university announce ONE MORE GODDAMN endowed professorship or multi-million donation for capital improvements after being told for the 7th time that they can’t give me the raise I was promised SIXTEEN MONTHS AGO I am going lose my fucking mind.

Wasn't he whining about not getting the Nobel Peace Prize like a week ago

The doctors of The Pitt treating a fat patient like a human being (well, minus Ogilvie, who continues to be a dick), is quietly revolutionary. I love to see it.

I’m so sorry. The whole system is so broken and no one wants to take any responsibility for fixing it.

The Infrastructure of Jeffrey Epstein’s Power Podcast Episode · The Ezra Klein Show · 02/13/2026 · 1h 26m

Epstein was Lucifer Did you watch that show? Lucifer (the devil) knew what you needed and provided it - for a price. These powerful people sold their souls to this man to fill a depraved need, and children paid the price.

"Fight against being ass" is a message that more people need to receive, tbh

Truly begging apparel & footwear retailers to stop including a “free”
tote with every purchase. It’s not free—it’s just another textile people have to deal with. MAYBE 2% of people are using them—the rest end up in donation or recycling centers, or worse, landfills. There are better options.

It must be an incredible feeling to be a white man like @ezrakleinbot.bsky.social and say with your whole chest that we should vote for people who disagree with our very existence or right to bodily autonomy to win elections. To not acknowledge the absolute oppression of that is astonishing.

In his mind, none of this violence is reciprocal, only unidirectional. The ONLY bad actor here is Hamas. And the only remedy is re-education by the “civilized” and “moral” Israeli-led coalition. This is some high-level colonialist “Exterminate The Brutes” rhetoric. It’s horrifying.

Rather, he blames it on the “education system.” He laments the killing of 2 or 3 Israeli soldiers a week, but has no words of sympathy for the dozens of Palestinian children killed weekly, seeing them as a result of Hamas’ bad behavior.

The most clarifying thing to come out of this conversation is the utter lack humanity toward the Palestinian people & the seeming infallibility of the Jewish state. It seems incomprehensible to Segal that generations of living under apartheid conditions could be what fuels anger & violence.

I don’t discount this, but the AI Apocalypse is already happening—just not the way you’re focused on. It’s happening in every community within a mile of these data centers, where people are being harmed by the pollution & water scarcity. FOCUS 👏🏼 ON 👏🏼 THAT 👏🏼

The only good thing that can possibly come out of this will be a bonus @ifbookspod.bsky.social episode.

And again - I also want to win! And I do believe compromises need to be made. But not on people’s basic human dignity, not on the right to bodily autonomy. We can compromise on tax policy, and even climate regulations (within reason). But let people live.

What’s wild is that he’s been openly supportive of abortion, especially after his wife’s very difficult pregnancies. So this turn is really distressing. But it again shows that wealthy white people are willing to sacrifice the lives & safety of others to further their own politics.

Where does being married 3 times with multiple affairs fall on this index?

White men (almost) never fight FOR the rights of anyone else. So I am begging you to stop with the pro-life Dem nonsense and the ideas about compromising on trans rights. We can and should be able to win BECAUSE we are the party of equality. We need better messaging, not more compromise.

Also - my dude: we all want to win back power. But only white men are forever ok with doing that at the expense of the rest of us. It’s always the white men who want to compromise the rights of women, of trans people, of Black & brown folks, in order to win w the PROMISE of future rights.

What I find most frustrating is Ezra’s inability to acknowledge that his commentary on CK has whitewashed who CK was. Just admit that you were wrong - it’s fine! Especially when you have so many women, Black folks, LGBTQ+ folks, presumably immigrant folks, telling you. Listen to them.

I got through maybe 4 minutes, and then I was yelling at Ezra too much and had to stop. I cannot with this bullshit. I DO NOT understand how he thinks CK was doing anything other than normalizing violence against trans people, migrants, women, BIPOC, etc. It’s lunacy.

I’ve NEVER been as judged for the tone of my voice the way I’ve been in academia. By peers, students, administrators - my “tone” seems to be an issue. And I don’t know what to say. This is just my voice? I don’t know why I have to change the way I’ve sounded for 50 years to make you comfortable. 🤷🏻‍♀️

My Never-Ending Quest to Find a Bra With Lift: A Memoir

On The Bound from “When the Pawn”

Loved today’s rainbow, Pride-themed Strands from @nytgames.bsky.social. Very cute! But honestly a bit hard to take when their parent org, @nytimes.com is so consistently wretched to trans folks. If it’s a small act of rebellion, good for them. But the Times ed board needs to get 👏🏼 it 👏🏼 together.

I’ve been saying this for days: this is out of the “we need to compromise on abortion” playbook of the 1990s that led to Dobbs. It is GALLING that she is basically throwing trans kids under a bus for political gain. Have conversations! Absolutely! But do not cede rights. Learn a fucking lesson. 🙄
