A humorous article by a friend on how Trump ruined news (and democracy) for her but helped her spend more sexy time with her husband. www.huffpost.com/entry/donald...

Donald Trump Has Been A Disaster For Democracy — But Excellent For My Sex Life

I'm going to leave this here because I even see a lot of leftists regularly speaking about 'what the country wants' when in fact NO. MOST PEOPLE DID NOT VOTE FOR THIS MAN and LESS THAN 50% of people who voted actually voted for him.

Two thirds of Americans are not Trump voters

A lot of people just don’t realize how unpopular Trump is

The backlash to ABC/Disney canceling Kimmel shows why it's important for businesses and the public to understand that two-thirds of Americans are not Trump voters

I got to preview "Good Fortune" and it surprisingly touches on workplace exploitation and unions. Keanu Reeves plays a naive and sweet-natured angel that reminds me of his character in Bill and Ted. Sandra Oh is a regal archangel.

Thanks so much--just want to have the simple population percentages disaggregated by race and year. Sigh.

Did this administration get rid of US Census' quickfacts? This has been my primary source for U.S. population demographics by race. 😭

This made me laugh: I tried to buy a BTS happy meal but it was too early and they were only selling breakfast, but when I got to the window the McDonald’s worker asked me if I was trying to collect the figurines and tried to sell me the entire set for $40.

I took a lot of bible courses decades ago — really — and I don’t remember there being a grand prize for making the most pious social media post being on the list of “get you into heaven” items.

Been thinking about how to defend myself and my friends, family and neighbors from getting disappeared by ICE, and found this app called ICEBlock that alerts users to nearby ICE sightings. Downloaded it immediately. www.cnn.com/2025/06/30/t...

I'm afraid that's Jeff Yang, not Jeff Chang. But apparently the two of them had a laugh over your comment (they get mixed up a lot).

“Blocked by Hollywood’s low ceiling of expectations, Bruce had returned to…Hong Kong to fight and to be seen…His very presence on screen was a protest.” — @zentronix.bsky.social Can’t wait to read Jeff Chang’s new biography, “Water Mirror Echo: Bruce Lee and the Making of Asian America.”
