I just saw a meme that said “get in losers, we’re reclaiming the emdash”. People. PEOPLE. Where are your STANDARDS? It CLEARLY should be “get in, losers — we’re reclaiming the em dash.”

Newspapers really were a miraculous thing. People would wake up in the morning and find a short book on their doorstep that told them what was happening in the world. We have a rectangle that does something similar, but it's cursed. Newspapers weren't cursed. You could wrap fish and chips in them.

The first warning arrived on a Tuesday morning, six weeks after consultants advised moving from dependency on six hundred small excel scripts - and nobody at Zenith Ledger Advisory paid much attention. It appeared in the system dashboard between routine audit notifications and a maintenance reminder

One way of thinking about HR1 is that in exchange for a tax cut that most benefits the wealthy, the much larger number of people who rely safety net benefits *and* our state governments are going to lose resources because of administrative burdens

The biggest misunderstanding about HR1 (big beautiful bill) is that it was about work requirements or error or fraud. The point was to make it impossible for eligible people to access benefits by requiring them to navigate an endless array of impossible bureaucratic obstacles.

Someone asked for an app to point your camera at a color and find matches. Cool. Here. BUT ALSO: I'm colorblind and never thought to make this for myself! Save colors ("new paint," "mom's fave"), get colorblind-friendly complements, simulate what you see vs. what others see. Legit using this daily.

What Color Is That?
No seriously, what color is that? I genuinely cannot tell. Aim your camera at a color — get its name, details, matches, plus colorblind palettes and simulation. Save colors with personal labels.

I have never paid more than $4000 for a car. I’ve just not been able to. I am aware of all the benefits that come from spending more up front. I have just never been able to afford that outlay. I am not unusual in this. EVs are a great concept but just a theory for many of us.

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.” That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

Today is Homeless Persons' Memorial Day. As unhoused people are brutalized, criminalized, and vilified nationwide—and with so much invested in obscuring the root causes of homelessness—it's important to be clear: people are homeless because they have been deprived of housing they can afford.

Most Americans agree that the Trump administration should not cut long-term housing assistance for homeless people. Recent polling reveals deep concern about what will happen as a result of HUD's willful funding delays. See more from National Alliance to End Homelessness - tr.ee/fXDV17

This is far worse than anyone expected. Trump's HUD plan would cut *two-thirds* of permanent housing and push as many as 170,000 formerly homeless people back onto the street—redirecting funds to work mandates, forced treatment, and encampment sweeps. All as mass internment camps are being built.

With millions at risk of losing SNAP in the coming days, a reminder: hunger doesn't happen in isolation. When food assistance disappears, families use rent money to eat. Then come evictions and homelessness. Housing, food, healthcare—it's all connected. Cut one thread and the whole thing unravels.
