I think it’s fair to say that the student journalists at Cornell are braver than the news networks who just gave up on their WH pool ban even though CNN is still being denied access. www.cornellsun.com/article/2026...

I’m sorry, what? This piece was not a joint publication/ reporting job (as some are). It was @propublica’s alone and the Times followed with a summary. This is so indicative of NYT. If they don’t ignore proper credit, they just go for stolen valor.

Lovely day in the Marin Hills near Rodeo Lagoon. Short but happy visit.
Pines and small houses in foreground, greenish blue lagoon surrounded by hills mid ground, & a small island with the Pacific Ocean in the background under blue sky with wispy clouds.

one common thread (among the horrifying many) between the numerous ICE shootings/murders is that no first aid was administered to the victim. armed combatants of the government shot to kill, and if they didn’t kill right away, they gave time for it to happen anyway. it is absolutely grotesque.

we've never had much reason to articulate this before a.i., but a reason we enjoy literature, art, music, etc. is that we know it is one human mind trying to express something fundamentally human and otherwise inexpressible to another human mind

My latest books cartoon for @theguardian.com
Hercule Poirot dressed all in black speaks to Captain Hastings in a grand hallway “Please ask the suspects to gather in the library, Hastings: I wish to reveal that our births are random, our lives meaningless, and our deaths absurd.”

Caption “Having investigated so many awful murders over the years, it was perhaps unsurprising that Hercule Poirot turned to Existentialism”


p.s. Poirot had presumably been reading a lot of Sartre recently…

 "It is meaningless that we live and it is meaningless that we die," Jean-Paul Sartre, Being and Nothingness (L'Être et le Néant)

“Every existing thing is born without reason, prolongs itself out of weakness, and dies by chance.” Jean-Paul Sartre, Nausea (La Nausée)

an open letter to @jamestalarico.bsky.social @teamtalaricohq.bsky.social
dear James,

it is unlikely that you remember me from fall 2021, when we were at austin Presbyterian theological seminary together. I moved out of Texas for a few years and just moved back, telling everyone how excited i was to vote for you 

Now, I'm not so sure.

The reason i moved away from my beloved texas is because Ken Paxton wanted records from a gender clinic my child had been seen at. The reason i moved away from my home, my church, my friends, was to make sure the state would not take my children away because i affirm they are who they say they are. Once both children were adults, we made the decision, with our non-binary kid, to come back to the land we love and help fight for it. 

Yesterday, I watched an interview where you said you're against trans people in sports "if" that makes sports unfair or unsafe.  I've seen multiple people defend your statement, saying the "if" is load bearing. However, i woke up to your socials talking about how much republicans love you. So, how would voting for you be meaningfully different to the mom of a trans child than voting for Paxton?

I know the PCUSA just strengthened their support of trans people. If you still want my vote, i need you to realign with your faith, not with Republican talking points. I am deeply disappointed this morning but there is still time for you to have courageous conviction. I'll be praying for you. Sincerely, marie.
