I'm thinking about how tonight was probably the first time Kilmar Abrego Garcia learned that millions of people care about him - the first time he learned that the United States Supreme Court ruled 9-0 to bring him home. I'm thinking what it must mean for him to know, right now, that he isn't alone.

Pronouns in bios are a way of indicating that trans and nonbinary people are normal and transphobic bigots are abnormal, which is why transphobic bigots hate and fear pronouns in bios. These fevered ego who constantly whine “you can’t say anything” then constantly punish people for what they say.

Bosses hated the Biden-era job market where they had to fight over employees instead of abusing them, so used their control over the media to turn inflation into the number one issue, predict a fake recession that never happened, and try to convince Americans to tank the economy. It worked.

My favorite fact about the NYC subway is that there are way more daily riders (about 4 million) than the number of people who fly in the US out of all airports every day (~2.5 million). The scale is hard to get a grasp on.

Saw this on 30 Rock the other day. Kenneth: I'd quit but I have no other skills. Jack: You're a white man with hair, Kenneth. The sky's the limit! In show, this was supposed to be a joke.

Re-watching season 1 Buffy w/ kid, and in this ep, a demon gets scanned into a computer network, catfishes Willow, and turns two boys into ideologically-enthralled murderers. Despite the 90's cyber-exposition (e.g. speakers reading chats), it is creepily prescient

For once, the apocalyptic weather forecast turned out right. Pretty much all roads are closed, school is already cancelled tomorrow, and folks were right to empty out the supermarkets last week. At least we have power

When I had a violent stalker who would graphically describe how he would have me gang raped, puncture my organs and and break all my bones, I was told the police "couldn't do anything". Consider this a reminder that they absolutely ✨can✨ do something. They just don't care about YOU.

We tell children the answer to school mass shootings is live shooter drills and bulletproof backpacks and then act surprised when they grow up and their response to gun violence is dark humor.

I don't condone murder or vigilantes, but I understand if people can't pour out any more sympathy for an insurance CEO's suffering than he would have poured out for ours.
