Also, did you know that the leading cause of death for pregnant people is not a medical diagnosis? It’s homicide. Most often at the hands of a current/former partner and with a gun (link below). If this government truly cared about maternal health we would regulate guns, not abortion access.

"GE warns its toaster may grow human arms and shoot you with a gun" Ok that sounds like their fault. They should do something about that

I matched with someone on a dating app today who asked me if I’ve been reading anything good lately and I said well I just started a book on the history of AIPAC and the impact of the pro-Israel lobby on electoral politics and they unmatched, so. Yeah. Doing great

I feel like there’s still hope for humanity because I was just in Kroger and there was a shelf stocker robot gliding down the aisle and me and this other girl were just looking at the robot and looking at each other and looking at the robot and then we both said “I don’t like it” at the same time

Part of the problem is that if you were to have the proper reaction to even 10% of this it would leave you unable to function normally. If nothing else you end up repressing stuff just because fully experiencing it is impossible to do all at once.

No matter what you believe, the Bible (and powerful people’s interpretation of it) affects your life each and every day from what you learn in school to what your tax dollars get spent on to the resources you have access to and BEYOND. I’m so excited to get this book out and I hope you’ll preorder!

So You Want to Read the Bible is an approachable, religiously neutral, and (I think 😂) funny guide to reading the Bible for the first time or coming back to it after a long time. It’s not about converting or deconverting anyone and readers of ALL faiths or none can get something out of it.

Tomorrow morning, we will be dropping a ~12,000 word story on Paul Pressler, the alleged sexual predator who remade the Southern Baptist Convention and helped ordain the marriage between the GOP and white evangelical voters. There is *a lot* in there and I hope you'll read it.

Larry Ellison’s TikTok forcing “AI Remixing” onto their entire user base without their knowledge or consent is a really great microcosm of what US tech overlordship looks like — and why the backlash against this technology is only growing.
