I feel like men in tech think they can replace "women's work" with AI but they have no comprehension how much work actually goes into managing life because they've never actually managed their lives.

Remember when Ross Douthat said Trump's policies could just be rolled back? Tell that to potential allies who bank their future and their lives trusting America. Trump and the GOP have broken America's reputation for decades.

Yes, and... Our public transportation is very disability unfriendly, elder unfriendly, and parent unfriendly. When I lived in London, transferring on the tube with luggage was so hard, I cannot imagine being in a wheelchair or having a pram. In the Bay Area...

#EyesOnElObeid Where is the world? "Now the same militia is besieging another major Sudanese city, El Obeid, which has half a million or more people... Some inside El Obeid are starving, yet, again, Trump and many other world leaders seem largely indifferent." www.nytimes.com/2026/07/11/op...

I've been feeding a cat colony for about 8 years. We lost two friendlies in the last three months so I'm experimenting with fostering and trying to adopt out four of them. Say hi to the first two yoinked off streets: Mister and Fanta!
Mister, a grey and white cat, is laying in a windowsill between two tall, beige cat trees. Fanta, and orange, medium haired cat, is lying in a blue felt tunnel.

Just want to be clear that when RFK Jr. said in the hearing today that he is “overhauling” the U.S. Preventative Services Task Force, it is because this administration wants to reduce the number of services that health insurance companies are required to cover.

I've hit the point where I've written the book, edited the book, edited it three more times, written the book proposal and the synopsis, and now I'm frozen. Because the next steps take things out of my control and require others' validation.

Of all the things we are doing in MN, this one is just beyond. Imagine being released from hell alone in the cold. And a total stranger has waited all night with a blanket just to be ready to hug you and carry you home. Every job we do is crucial, but this one is what restores humanity and dignity.

How dare the press *checks notes* focus on the president threatening to take an ally's territory by force because he didn't get a peace prize, which would then lead to the destruction of the world's largest security pact.
