Recently discovered Searching for Hope trygveolson.substack.com, and his unfolding "Ten Lessons for the Resistance in a Fear-Based System." He argues that a single preferably one-word goal will help the Resistance win. Mamdani just showed how to do it with "Affordability" - how about it Democrats??

This is not just a current political issue. Charging & punishing these particular perpetrators is vital to keeping the fight against the ongoing abuse & killing of women & children by men in the spotlight. "Me Too" was only a start.

As an author, I don't make a whole lot of money, but at the same time I need to read a lot of books to stay aware of trends and support my fellow authors. Obviously if I spend all my profits on other people's books, I'm not coming out ahead!
So: ways to read lots of indie books for cheap.

If I can give you 1 thing that I have learned on my Lupus, cancer, chronic illness and pain and other medical journeys, it would be: we must always have hope. Even in the midst of the darkness and pain, when you are feeling alone and unable to speak because it hurts we must always find the light. 🙏💜

DOGE is not really gone, it’s just been made standard operating procedure now. Please stop celebrating DOGE ‘ending’ as a ‘win.’ It’s not. Their cuts have already killed 600,000 people. Elon stole all your data. Don’t fall for the clickbait.

Tim Snyder is in Mr. Rogers mode, encouraging us to look for the helpers. And he’s absolutely right. For all the horribleness (and it’s plentiful) there’s also so many good and brave people standing up to protect each other and push back on tyranny.
Stay strong, friends. We can do this.

Did you know Google tracks your price history... not search history, price history. Burried deep in the tabs, i was able to clear this data of over 5 years. Then, using ai against itself, I was able to get a steal of a deal on a rental car for half the price.

I have an announcement.
I have, like a real man, recaulked and resealed my shower.
I will never, ever do this again, and the next time I will pay a plumber or handyman, even if it has to be in gold bullion, to do it.

As Matthew Sitman points out — like @zohrankmamdani (and MLK, etc) ‘1984’ author George Orwell was a Democratic Socialist who fought for workers.
He also opposed communism because the two are not the same things and words have meanings.

Very sad. Apparently the patient was someone with comorbidities that placed them at higher risk of a bad outcome. At a time when the threat of new pandemic is higher that ever we need our public health and surveillance systems strengthened not dismantled.

Lexington has a population of 11,205.
Nebraska overwhelmingly voted for the orange felon over VP Kamala Harris.
I hope they’re enjoying their vote.
