Your regular reminder that my daughter Alice’s death wasn’t counted in Appleby’s report, despite her meeting all the criteria. And when I emailed the Tavistock adult GIC to inform them they could take Alice off the waitlist, because she’d died by suicide, they never replied. It’s a disgrace.

It’s worse when it’s all concentrated in one party within a 2-party system because there’s no “dilution” effect …and that’s where we are now with GOP.

This is SoP for Musk companies. Tesla also screwed a local bakery in San Jose a couple of years ago: www.nbcbayarea.com/news/local/s... The common denominator seems to be paying up if publicity gets too negative.

Before you ask, text itself would most probably NOT count as "apologia di fascismo" (Advocacy of Fascism) in law, because it never praises the regime or Mussolini explicitly, thereby not falling faul of relevant legislation and the Constitution. You need to look at choices of words, & connotations.

President Zelenskyy: Russia,Russia alone, is the real cause of the war in Europe. It is possible to stop the strikes on energy infrastructure today, but Putin does not want to do so. Ukraine will be ready to stop striking Russian oil refineries if Russia stops attacking our energy infrastructure.

Democrats are also more progressive on immigration than pretty much all their European counterparts today. American progressives should enthusiastically embrace these facts and embrace having one of the world’s leading parties on social justice and equality.

Achilles wanted revenge for the death of Patroclus, that’s all he sought. In Book IX of the Iliad he says that glory is pointless. In Book XI of the Odyssey he says he would rather be a nameless peasant on earth than king of the underworld.

I have some very intelligent Indian friends who are in OPT. Some 420,000, or roughly one-third, of international students participated in OPT in 2025–26, making it the largest pipeline of global talent into the US workforce. This will hamper academic research. 🧪 www.nature.com/articles/d41...

but here's the thing, Jason. Democrats will take power. And they will fix as much as they can. And then these cretins will turn around and still vote for hate and fear. I simply don't think they will ever learn a thing. Because their hatred and fear is their makeup.

If anything it’s the guy Achilles kills, Hector, who sacrifices in the name of duty, even if he knows he will be killed. The goodbye with his wife and son makes me cry every time 🥺

"But Achilles wanted glory!" No, he didn't. He very explicitly says, "fuck this, I hate Agamemnon, and I'm going home," until Patroclus dies. The entire point of the poem is his rage and grief. Can anyone read a fucking book, holy shit.

Gov Hobbs tried to put a moratorium on the death penalty but was defeated by a GOP state supreme court. So we can even reassess the Dems role in those executions. Because the Dems did everything they could to STOP them.

The extent to which Trump just overly breaks laws left and right and often gets away with it is why I keep coming back to how Trump 2.0 is just a ramshackle, authoritarian, kleptokakistocratic 3rd World shithole regime we'd recognize instantly if it was happening in Uganda or Venezuela or Yemen.

My support for bluesky/atproto is pretty much explicitly a "political" project. It is bad for a small number of (mostly right-wing) people to literally own all the sources of media. Open-source algorithms + the ability to move your account without negative network effects opposes this.
