This guy who assaulted a sitting member of Congress got 28 years and 10 months less jail time than a Texas resident who transported a box of zines that contained constitutionally protected content opposing ICE reason.com/2026/06/25/t...

reason.com

Texas man gets 30 years in prison for transporting 'anti-government' pamphlets

The case stems from a violent anti-ICE protest, but critics say the government's prosecution threatens First Amendment rights.

I have received news of a perfectly named cafe located on the waterfront of Nova Scotia's capital, if you know what I mean

"Broken Man cafe" sign on a big plate glass window, through which one can see cafe tables and chairs and backs of people's heads. In the distance, a sign indicates that this is Pier 22 on the Halifax waterfront

I’ve been knitting for ~3 years. At a conservative estimate of 60k stitches per sweater, I’ve probably knit a million stitches I doubt more than a handful of people have knit a billion stitches At one stitch per second, that’s 31.5 years of knitting Billionaires shouldn’t exist. Happy Labor Day

I have done some vaguely reckless testing and discovered that i do indeed have a peanut allergy! luckily, my symptoms are far more gastrointestinal and less respiratory, so while it's absolutely miserable, i probably won't die from it

We’re going to hear about how everyone loved Dolly, and that feels true. But it’s good to remember, and to her credit, that she was attacked for her AIDS activism, her vaccine advocacy, her LGBTQ+ support and even, more recently, for her reading initiatives. She ALWAYS stood firm when it mattered.

all of my non-doctor family members (including me) are attempting to diagnose my recent health issues. so far we've got a peanut allergy, fatty liver, tumor, and hepatitis as our guesses. luckily, it seems that the last three are provably false

okay so I figured I didn't have enough going on so I (probably) developed a peanut allergy. why not? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I had food poisoning and had to go to the hospital yesterday. my husband called my dad to get a ride to the hospital and told my dad that I was "vomiting" and had "low blood pressure". my dad heard that I was "vomiting blood" and somehow spread that misinformation to most of my extended family

me: i am not able to go on my trip because I am in the hospital. I'd like to cancel my booking but the time has passed so I couldn't
Priyanka: I'm sorry to hear that, I hope you get better soon.
Priyanka: you have my deepest sympathy and unwavering support. wishing you peace, comfort, courage, and lots of love at this time.
