Hey, MO, remember when we didn't elect absolute psychopathic buffoons to statewide office? Embarrassing. (I am from So MO, so we've been electing them there since forever but not the whole array of statewide offices)

I have been thinking a lot about how this infrastructure is extraordinarily vulnerable to fuel prices. How do you shift operations when people cannot afford to drive to school and creep through a parking lot for hours/day? At least the school in the suburb I reference below was accessible by foot.

“the person who is CEO at the time a company goes public will, until their death, have sole power over company decisions, regardless of how much investment they have taken from the public” was just never how any of this was intended to work and it is a catastrophe for corporate governance

Curious how the essays are going to fit into this. It was an offensive "punishment" in the first place. But sincere essay would now be evidence in an investigation. Possibly a confession. And if it isn't that, Cornell didn't even effectively enforce even the most minor of consequences.

On the *same day* the Cornell Seven drugged and raped Jane Doe, Cornell banned four students (including the President of Cornell JVP) from campus for three years for nonviolent, pro-Palestine protests. The same Cornell officials let the rapists off with apology essays.

I am *confident* that people retcon our collective choice of electing Obama/Biden into "the government actively working to turn things around" because we did choose them because they were going to turn things around. But my very clear memory of 2008 was we all knew was the Bush admin was worthless

If you’re a survivor who wants your rapist removed from whatever social institution introduced you, that’s an okay thing to want. A lot of other survivors want it too. And in a different timeline, there wouldn’t be so many people shaming you for saying it out loud.

"It wasn't what we wanted." His office offered a plea deal for 1 day in jail. The judge said “One day. Seriously? Somebody has to sell me on the wisdom of it." And changed the sentence to 60 days. So, Paxton's *preferred* outcome was 1 day, not 60 and definitely not *more* than 60.

For real people, we do not have to waste ANY time or energy decrying what a retiring backbencher has to say. This is going to influence zero votes. Golden is the Fetterman of the House but far, far less important. No one should care what either of them has to say.

Kathleen @kathleencarson.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

Just a reminder, Golden decided not to run because he discovered that no one likes this. Dems don't want a turncoat and Repubs don't care what a Dem has to say. But instead of adapting, Golden decried incivility and quit. No need to hold all Dems responsible--they ran him out of office.

A map of US states where trans rights are protected is just a map of US states where Democrats are in control. But saying that doesn’t keep people terrified and paying for newsletter subscriptions to learn more, so certain influencers have to lie about it.

Our desire to anthropomorphize and pack bond with *anything* is a very endearing trait and an outgrowth of why we have been, to-date, a successful species. It probably says something that the humans who are failing at an epic scale at basic humanness to **other humans** are driving this convo.

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.
