'Time poverty' is one of modern capitalism’s least discussed forms of deprivation. When a person has no hours in a day to see friends, to recover, and to relax, life becomes something squeezed around work.

Girls! Girls! You're *both* right! Bask in the novelty.

THEY ARE NOT POWERLESS TO STOP HIM! Go back to Washington, stand on the steps of the Capitol and demand Johnson and Thune recall the House and Senate, and impeach him. THIS IS HOW IT IS SUPPOSED TO WORK! THERE IS LITERALLY AN INSTRUCTION MANUAL! (It's called the Constitution.)

There is much to admire in Abdul El-Sayed's response to the GOP plant in his audience. But one of the most deft things he did was to point out (twice) that our Constitution protects our right to follow *no* religion, thereby casting Christian nationalist Tommy as the actual religious extremist.

Would you look at that, Marisa Kabas found out who this "Tommy" is! bsky.app/profile/mari...

Then Tommy left the room.

If you self-publish in print, hire human designers and illustrators for your covers. Or ask a friend, or do it yourself. Make your book look like your own.

Because my job can be a real bummer, when I am searching for instances of sexual violence among men in a defined group, you don't search for "sexual assault," you search for "hazing." We have euphemized language because we really, really don't want to address this in any real terms.

Here are my favourite highlights from @doctorow.pluralistic.net's new book, The Reverse Centaur’s Guide to Life after AI

According to Aaron Parnas: Musk is trying to trick everyone by sending them to his own phony site when they go to check their registration. DO NOT go to votesafe.org When you enter your information, Elon Musk will steal it. DO NOT go to that website! Pass it on...

NEW: Fraudsters stole $470 million last year from Americans who need help paying for food. Adopting the same microchip that credit cards have had for years would prevent most of the theft, but Congress won’t pay for it.

You don't get to spend a year making hackish arguments on behalf of whatever happens to be the administration's position and then pretend to be a serious scholar again as if nothing happened

Mamdani is writing the playbook for how Democrats must continue to communicate with voters after Election Day. He could have done the usual thing and disappear after winning but if anything he’s communicating even MORE now.

Piss Bezos. (Free with Amazon Prime!)

Jeff Bezos and I are very different people. For one thing, he is a sociopathic billionaire who built his fortune by monopolizing bookselling while I am a penniless author of books. He was born in 1964 and is 62; I was born in 1971 and am 55.

Happy Birthday, Woodsy Owl! Always remember: “Give a Hoot, Don’t Pollute!”

Why do you appreciate unions? I’ll start: Weekends off Paid vacations Work breaks Sick leave Paid holidays No child labor Safer working conditions Health care and retirement benefits

Jesus Christ, this. Platner was given the benefit of the doubt despite having a fucking Totenkopf tattoo on his own skin, while many of the same people are demanding El-Sayed answer for any random comment from anyone who supports him.

"Whether we and our politicians know it or not, Nature is party to all our deals and decisions, and she has more votes, a longer memory, and a sterner sense of justice than we do." Thank you, and RIP, Wendell Berry.

“Not enough people know the story about how this court got captured by a bunch of creepy right-wing billionaires,” U.S. Senator Sheldon Whitehouse told hundreds of Iowa Democrats on Saturday. Promised to "put a lot of attention right away” on SCOTUS. laurabelin.substack.com/p/sheldon-wh...

@colsonwhitehead.com Question: what are common signs and symptoms of the pimp flu?

‘74!!!

Good Night From The Drummer, My Friends. Sleep Tight.

One more time, with feeling!

Not well.

Annoying in its own right, but I appreciate the sentiment. Hey, why not instead consider hiring a working artist, before it’s too late. @graphicdesign.bsky.social

Republicans could solve world hunger if they attacked food insecurity the way they attack voting rights.

Dear Canada, Please do this.

BREAKING: After the Washington Post fired me last year for speaking the truth in the wake of the Charlie Kirk killing, I fought back. And I'm happy to announce: I won my case against the Washington Post. They have been ordered to reinstate me immediately. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/24/b...

standard. SCOTUS allows Trump to continue to create literal facts on the ground while they 'consider' his his meritless challenge. nothing is more important than reforming the court and ending its corruption.

And it’s Biden’s fault!

As Americans continue to face rising costs and reduced access to programs that support working families, the so-called One Big Beautiful Bill is increasingly becoming a political liability.

again i am just not that interested in debating whether human rights should theoretically extend to robots and ai when we currently don't even extend them to all humans

This AI nonsense is still chum for the Big Thinkers Club on op-ed pages and fka Tw*tt*r.

Me lo gusta mucho esto.

Plus the super-rich tend to have pretty bad taste.

And that arose only after Supreme Court hopeful Robert Bork’s video rental record from Erol’s video in D.C. was released to the press during his ill-fated confirmation hearing. So the policy motivation for the law was to protect the powerful.

They think they’re scoring points on Ossoff but they’re just drawing mainstream attention to Trump’s unusual relationship.

This is all because they want to kill a 20-cent tax on delivery orders (a tax that actually supports food stability programs). No matter where you live, you can make an impact by deleting your DoorDash account until they stop fighting to give Trump more control over DC.

And to be credible communicating these views as an expression of Christianity is his superpower.
