Over the past few months, I built a fitness tracker app to destress at the end of the day. Ping me if you want a free copy. *iPhone only for now.

Gas prices are “temporarily” high, says the president. That’s because Republicans are temporarily in power. Vote.

The only time Hakeem Jeffries should've come face-to-face with jared kushner is when kushner is under oath before Congress

I’m trying to find humor in the irony of this AI translation, but…

The problem with digital books is that you can always find what you are looking for but you need to go to a bookstore to find what you weren't looking for. ~ Paul Krugman

Sounds like gender-affirming care to me.

Why I’m a fan of the Oxford comma.

"how were people writing 10 page papers before AI???" we were smarter than you. you could've been smart, too. but you sold your brain for nothing

To George and Laura, Bill and Hillary — we're grateful for your friendship, counsel, and devotion to this country. And to Joe and Jill, thank you for being on this journey with us.

My first book was rejected by every agent and publisher. So I self-published it. Sold 60k+ copies. I thought I made it... I got an agent. My 2nd book got rejected by 27 out of 28 publishers. One gave me a shot. It sold 350k+ Don't let other folks opinion of your work determine its value.

If you were horrified watching elected leaders run & scramble because of gun violence, just imagine how my daughter Jaime felt in school running from an active shooter before she was killed. Now, become a part of the solution & only vote for people determined to address gun violence in America.

France passed a law requiring solar panels on every parking lot with more than 80 spaces. Equals 10 nuclear reactors Reduces heat island, shades cars The US -- 800 million parking spaces. Most of them are uncovered asphalt sitting in direct sunlight. Why aren't we doing this?

...says the man with the highest net worth on this rock spinning through the void.

I’m relieved Trump did not destroy an entire civilization last night, but his unhinged threat and illegal war make it clear he is unfit to serve as president. Trump needs to be removed from office. And we must oppose his administration’s new $1.5 trillion budget proposal for more war.

Color me completely unimpressed until articles are rolled out and a conviction is made. Ive seen this show before. Ive heard this all before. Jan. 6 should have been the end of it. It wasnt.

I feel sick to my stomach waiting around to see what atrocity Trump has in mind for the people of Iran this evening. It's hard to fathom our other elected leaders aren't able to check him in any meaningful way. It's an indictment not just of voters but of our whole system. We're ruled by a mad king.

This is an actual post. This is not funny. This is beyond desperate. This is a deeply unwell man who doesn’t belong anywhere near the levers of power. Every member of his cabinet and Congress is complicit in not demanding his removal now.

Just my opinion, but there should be a constitutional remedy for when the President of the United States addresses the nation and everything he says is either pure lunacy, an unhinged claim or a blatant fabrication. Just like the 25th amendment, but real.

The most remote place on Earth is closer to space than to land. 🌊🚀 Point Nemo is about 2,700 km (1,700 miles) from the nearest land. The closest humans are often astronauts on the ISS, orbiting about 400 km above Earth.

Robert Mueller, a Vietnam veteran with a bronze star for heroism, and a purple heart has passed away. Perhaps his biggest honor was trying to save our democracy. I REFUSE to let him be a punchline for our deranged president. Robert Mueller was a hero and may he rest in peace and watch over us. Amen.

Robert Mueller was a patriot who served this country for his entire life. He fought and bled for the United States while many of the cucks who are attacking him did everything they could to avoid service. Nothing any of these subhuman shitstains say will diminish his legacy.

Royer Perez-Jimenez was 19 years old. He died by suicide at 3am on March 16 at Glades County Detention Center in Florida. He is the 2nd person to die in ICE custody this week, the 13th this year, and the 42nd under Trump. 🧵

Ossoff: "The WH put out a video depicting this war as a video game. When service members are returning in flag-draped coffins, & even more have lost limbs or suffered brain injuries or are fighting for their lives, this WH treats war like a game. It's a disgrace. And it speaks to a moral rot."

The Profession by Steven Pressfield Reread it last year. Written nearly 15 years ago, seems even more prescient now.

If you appreciate my constant grind to bring you hundreds of newsy clips week in and week out, please support what I do by signing up for my newsletter. I'm proud of our coverage at PN and paid subscribers make my work possible. Thanks.

there's so much bad in the world but there's also people who lift up and carry an elderly bat around every day so he can pretend he's flying again, and that's the part of the world I think is worth fighting for

THREAD: I got laid off from NYMag/Vulture after 14 years. The family lost 75% of income + medical. Now mzs.press bookstore, once a side project. is do-or-die for Judith & I. I feel weird telling you this because others are doing much worse. But if you could like or share this, we'd be so grateful!

Same. But with the books of Jason Stanley ✊

Smith: He was getting calls from people he trusts, people he relies on—and he still refused to come to the aid of the people at the Capitol. That’s very important evidence for criminal intent in our case.

Cry harder about ruining an American institution we used to be proud of, you stupid quisling bitch.

I am currently the 4th most-reposted account on BlueSky. What an incredible compliment, as I revere all (well, most) of you because you are so smart and funny. Thank you.

There’s a reason the political right wants to keep people dumb.

JFC, what a POS.

this is one of the most psychotic things Trump has ever posted

MAGAZINER: How many veterans have you deported? NOEM: We haven't deported veterans MAGAZINER: We are now joined on Zoom by a combat veteran you deported to Korea

Watch this. Then remember that the president doesn’t care. He cares that his old ass gets richer in the hand full of years he may have left. And his sick rich friends. The most corrupt evil man to ever serve as president is ignoring real evil

The US government is summarily executing people on a weekly basis without telling the American people any of their names or presenting any proof of their guilt, for alleged crimes that do not carry the death penalty in the US.
