There is a moment at the very very end of Abdul El-Sayed's podcast with Ezra Klein (book recommendation section) where he talks about the idea of "speaking truth to pain" and this will be staying with me for an extremely long time. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/25/o...

But there’s also something about truth to pain. We talk a lot about truth to power, but I think it’s actually a lot harder to speak truth to pain. I say that as someone who went to medical school, realizing that in a lot of our politics right now, we’ve got to get a lot better at speaking truth to pain if we’re going to get through some of these challenges that we have.

What does “truth to pain” mean?

It’s one thing to look power in the eye and say: You’re wrong about this. But there’s a way in which pain is very difficult to reason with. Because when somebody is in their pain, they’re in their trauma. They see that pain, and they may not see what’s causing it.

I remember just very explicitly being in a trauma ward with a gunshot wound patient and watching this big guy with his hand on his gunshot wound. All the folks are trying to pull his hand off his pain, that point of his gunshot wound, this clear vulnerability.

And this emergency room doctor had the presence of mind to be like: Everyone, stop. And she looks him in the eyes, and she’s like: I get that really hurts, and I’m so sorry that you’re here. You don’t want to be here. We don’t want you to be here. But if you don’t let us fix this, you could die. So I’m going to take your hand, and I’m going to move it off, OK? Because I need to get there so that you can live.

She was speaking truth to pain. He understands he’s at the hospital, he needs care, but he also doesn’t want anybody to touch the wound. Which is a natural thing. And I think it is a really great metaphor for how we think about a lot of these challenges we talked about today.

I'm not sorry to say it but the only possible conclusion from his behavior is that Michael Tracy is himself a sexual predator

First Draft: 📺 Trump’s White House Agrees His ‘Midterm Ads’ Are Illegal. They’re Doing It Anyway

Donald Trump is demanding the propagandistic TV ads, even as some of his aides fret they ‘obviously’ break federal law. Missouri MAGA Senator Eric Schmitt, meanwhile, makes a fool of himself.

Delightful also to hear real eagle noises. In movies eagles are always dubbed with hawks, since hawks found fierce and eagles sound like adorable squeakers.

it’s come to my attention that my tumblr post has been crossposted to bluesky, so I’m posting it on my account here #AntiAI #GenAI

recently my friend's comics professor told her that it's acceptable to use gen AI for script-writing but not for art, since a machine can't generate meaningful artistic work. meanwhile, my sister's screenwriting professor said that they can use gen AI for concept art and visualization, but that it won't be able to generate a script that's any good. and at my job, it seems like each department says that AI can be useful in every field except the one that they know best.

It's only ever the jobs we're unfamiliar with that we assume can be replaced with automation. The more attuned we are with certain processes, crafts, and occupations, the more we realize that gen AI will never be able to provide a suitable replacement. The case for its existence relies on our ignorance of the work and skill required to do everything we don't.

My Brothers Case
Criminal Law
Location:
I'm not condoning my brothers actions but just tryin to figure out some options. My brother was arrested for felony assault causing injury against his criminal defense attorney in another misdemeanor case. The attorney is a pretty well known attorney in the area I guess. Now we are finding that other lawyers wont take his case which I understand is his fsult but what are our options if he is found too financially stable to get a public one? He has been in custody for months.

Two panel comic. Panel 1: a bat hangs upside-down from a telephone line at sunset. The bat is in front of a billboard advertising the Florida Mega Jackpot, which is valued at $5,318,008 - represented with a digital ticker. Panel 2: the POV flips to the bat’s upside-down perspective, which makes the digital numbers look like they spell “BOOBIES”. The bat appears delighted.

Right-wing ideology intentionally discourages complex systems understanding. They don't understand how intricate, complicated and fragile the structures that keep them comfortable are, and because of that, they don't understand how much misery even a limited civil conflict would cause them.

I wish it wasn't walled but there's a post on RTO Insider right now saying what I've been saying for the last two years: it's fine to say we can defer build out by requiring loads to be flexible, but if the penalties for failing to curtail are not sufficient, you're FUCKED.
