Apparently it’s a historian thing to bring your yearbook with you to the reunion because I was the only one

Spouse saw the pose I made in the lit mag club photo from my senior HS yearbook and called me a “nerd seductress” and it’s just like: obviously!

One of the things America believes most fervently is that its own security can be conjured by torturing others
NEW: The New York Times got a State Dept. cable telling diplomats to destroy visas that had been approved and printed to give to Afghans. And diplomats are told to do scheduled interviews but not grant visas. US shuts all legal entry routes for Afghans. Our story: www.nytimes.com/2025/11/28/u...

This was just the nudge I needed. I am getting fully print pilled.
Hi everybody,

It's Black Friday, a big day for us at The Onion, since we rely almost entirely on your memberships.

Our goal for 2026? More print subscribers than the Washington Post.

This is, somehow, feasible.

So sign up! A year of print is $75 for the year today. Help us do a very funny thing.

The question for our time is what story we tell instead of the one being peddled by monsters, what do we build to inspire and sustain the best of us

The funniest thing is that there was a moment when I thought I could take a break from care work to get a short run in but now that seems like hubris

It’s funny how horrific acts of violence can stoke xenophobia but not stop the state from barreling toward war

New favorite promise from a technology just dropped (on the back of a frank sinatra record I am playing for my dad): It cannot become obsolete.

a thing about immigrants is that every single one of them is a person, a full human being, no exceptions, whether deemed by this vicious state to be "peaceful" or not smh
This is the scandal. Trump isn’t targeting dangerous people. He’s targeting peaceful immigrants. Almost exclusively.

If you bring Ai to my table you are not invited to my table
This is so soulless, I can't stand it. We have BRAINS. We can USE THEM.

I think everyone knows this but just to be clear: the only purpose of mass deportations is white supremacy. There’s no economic, crime/safety, “rule of law” purpose somewhere at the heart of the thing, no fair process at the root. It’s just racism.

Did you know that when you drive by a digital billboard, dings something in your phone and you might then also be served digital ads of the same product when you are on the internet
