Preoccupied with injustice. Depressed about the state of my country. Worried about AI, nuclear war, and climate change. Traumatized. Neurotic. Yeah, that about sums it up.

Lawyer says 57 Cornell frat members were in the group chat. Could their silence be a crime?
The 57 people in a group chat where the Cornell assault was openly discussed may not have been forced to report it. That may change.

I called my 92 year old grandmother last night to tell her Trump's poll numbers had fallen even further because I knew she’d be delighted. She giggled and said, “Did you hear that Jim Baker fucker died today too?”

Nothing says “America First” like Trump decorating the White House with photos of himself cozying up to Xi, a communist, and Putin, an authoritarian. But he calls Dems the dangerous radicals.
