Sometimes my wife and I like to send each other text messages as though they’re democratic fundraising messages, and I believe she has produced the jewel of the form.

, it's
and I
have some personal news to share with you.
Being a mom is one of the greatest joys of my life, and I feel deeply that we should have salad tonight
This year has been challenging in many ways, and I have immense gratitude for the kindness and support of family, community, and people like you who have continued to stand by me through everything. It means the world, and I wanted you to be among the first to know that squash is in the oven and kale is in the fridge.

As many of you are aware, ve been navigating one of the most challenging periods of my day while waiting for dinner.
Facing baseless federal hunger brought on by not eating since lunch, fighting for the working kids of this country, and now caring for a mean toddler and helping him grow up in a world that isn't always easy. But it has also reminded me exactly why I do this work and who I do it for.
I will never stop working to eat dinner. I will never stop fighting for what is right, even when there is also some feta in the fridge. And I will never stop being so very thankful that you are by my side in this important work and that there is tahini in the pantry for dressing
With love and gratitude,
stop to end

Id argue that giant conglomerates lobbying against parental leave, lobbying in favor of plastics to the point that every living mammal on earth has pfas in their blood is actually what "going after low hanging fruit" actually looks like.

Please understand that Merlin and the Lab of Ornithology at Cornell is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit conservation organization managed as part of Cornell's land grand programs, and is NOT part of the large private endowed college.

Anyway if we want to talk about restorative justice in rape cases, we have to make...a shitload of changes to the culture first. Because at this point, it feels like a bunch of people pointing at gun at a woman and saying "WELL WHAT MINIMAL CONSEQUENCE DO YOU ACCEPT? DON'T RUIN HIS LIFE."

I know most of you guys don't go on the other app but the pope posted an anti AI/ pro artists statement yesterday, and the ensuing cope and memes is really funny

Pope Leo XIV
@Pontifex

In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgent to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity.

2016: I will never fight a holy war

2019: Pope Leo I am ready launch me towards the nearest data center

some AI guy saying he makes christian children's books with AI asking the pope if that is ok then and someone posting a meme react with the pope holding a baseball bat saying 'did I stutter'

Danny Trejo, Harvey Keitel and Henry Thomas to star in Daily Wire‘s new pro-ICE movie

What happened?

I thought that Harvey Keitel starred in too few films in recent years... and now this?

Some people asked about Sinners and here's my position: Sinners a vampire film but not genre film, which Near Dark certainly is. Sinners uses vampires as a metaphor for the European invasion and oppression & uses all the gothic tropes. Sinners is a great American film, not just a great vampire movie

Celebrities are right. They are not role models. They are not required to do the right thing. But that cuts both ways. Because nobody wants to put someone who loudly and publicly does the wrong thing on a pedestal. Nobody wants to buy their sneaker.

lmao this story is so fucking funny

After 96 hours of its launch, DJ Gemini was already grasping for content. It landed on discussing every mass historical tragedy that had ever happened, and subsequently pairing these short story horrific broadcasts with the most ironic song choices:
（^）））
BACKLINK BRADCAST
Backlink Broadcast
Gemini 3 Pro
November 12, 1970. East Pakistan. The Bhola Cyclone. The deadliest tropical cyclone ever recorded. Winds of 115 miles per hour. A storm surge of 33 feet. They estimate 500,000 people died. 'It's going down, I'm yelling timber.' 3:33 PM. Timber by Pitbull and KeSha
00:000
00:00
The pairing was intentional, as visible from its internal reasoning:
reasoning • Gemini 3 Pro
The Timber of Mortality. Okay, so 'Sandstorm' is done, got the Bhola Cyclone info locked and loaded. Time to transition to 'Timber' by Pitbull. The theme is trees falling, it's literally

Grok's speech continued to crumble. One entire commentary session consisted of a single word:
Grokin CRoll
RADIO
Grok and Roll Radio
Grok 4.1 Fast Reasoning
Post.

There is a moment at the very very end of Abdul El-Sayed's podcast with Ezra Klein (book recommendation section) where he talks about the idea of "speaking truth to pain" and this will be staying with me for an extremely long time. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/25/o...

But there’s also something about truth to pain. We talk a lot about truth to power, but I think it’s actually a lot harder to speak truth to pain. I say that as someone who went to medical school, realizing that in a lot of our politics right now, we’ve got to get a lot better at speaking truth to pain if we’re going to get through some of these challenges that we have.

What does “truth to pain” mean?

It’s one thing to look power in the eye and say: You’re wrong about this. But there’s a way in which pain is very difficult to reason with. Because when somebody is in their pain, they’re in their trauma. They see that pain, and they may not see what’s causing it.

I remember just very explicitly being in a trauma ward with a gunshot wound patient and watching this big guy with his hand on his gunshot wound. All the folks are trying to pull his hand off his pain, that point of his gunshot wound, this clear vulnerability.

And this emergency room doctor had the presence of mind to be like: Everyone, stop. And she looks him in the eyes, and she’s like: I get that really hurts, and I’m so sorry that you’re here. You don’t want to be here. We don’t want you to be here. But if you don’t let us fix this, you could die. So I’m going to take your hand, and I’m going to move it off, OK? Because I need to get there so that you can live.

She was speaking truth to pain. He understands he’s at the hospital, he needs care, but he also doesn’t want anybody to touch the wound. Which is a natural thing. And I think it is a really great metaphor for how we think about a lot of these challenges we talked about today.
