how often do you think summers has made that "50% of the world's IQ / haha they are 51% of the population" joke? In how many rooms with people who laughed, or at least smiled politely, and kept coming to him for advice, jobs, quotes, influence?

I know the skies used to be filled with birds that are now extinct.
I know that change can happen and that it is usually permanent. That is the real status quo.
What we do matters. It’s counter intuitive but often inaction leads to change and it takes effort and energy to maintain stasis.

We’re firmly entering “passing on stuff at the end of the year that’s been in inboxes for months” season and friends, don’t let it get you down.
It’s almost never a reflection of you, but of the exhaustive workload folks are juggling.

Trump tries to build a fake wall of inevitability around everything he does.
Today, voters - literally from sea to shining sea - broke through all that, and this is just the beginning.

this is genuinely wild
Looks like the Dems will pick up 12 seats in the VA House of Delegates, which will go from 51-49 to 63-37 D-R. That's an honestly shocking result.

I think a thing we'll learn tonight is that people fucking hate what is going on and they will straight ticket vote against anyone involved in starving people while pillaging the country and kidnapping their neighbors. I don't think it matters at all who that person is.

billionaires have invested in media not because they support journalism but because they want to control it. there is only downside to a free press for people with that level of wealth. journalism is a great equalizer and they don’t want us to be equal.

Well, this fucking blows
I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day.
certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.
