This is Oakley. He has an injury that requires physical therapy and at-home massages. Luckily, his cat sibling River has been training his whole life for this. 14/10 for both

Not only is this rude, inappropriate, partisan, costly, and illegal, it reveals the fundamentally anti-American idiocy of this administration’s policy of handing over to China the most important economic sector of the 21st century.

Carole Cadwalladr is an amazing journalist who broke the Cambridge Analytica story and survived the aftermath (you can read all about it on her Substack). Last year, when UK’s Guardian (where she’d worked for two decades) sold out, she was dumped.

Sick and dead pets.
Mystery illness.
Horrific accident taking the lives of two shining lights.
Fascism, ICE, lies, corruption.

Every line in this song, written years ago but just recorded for the first time, reflects my own thoughts. I have it on repeat.

It’s catchy, too. Listen.
“Tell Me It’s Okay points a middle finger at Silicon Valley for its turn to the dark side. Tech used to empower us, but now it spies on us and manipulates us,” said Roger McNamee, who wrote TMIOK.

“ABC and CBS are making a serious miscalculation. Their servility to Trump will not earn them peace, only greater pressure.”

That’s the German professional association of journalists, @djv.de, calling on major US media to support their journalists instead of preemptively silencing them.

casually mentioned to someone under 25 that it used to be legal to smoke in restaurants and I think someday people are going to have that same look of horror and disbelief on their faces when we tell them we used to hand iPads to babies

Both of the co-founders of Turning Point USA died from things that were preventable, but which they mocked and urged this nation to ignore. Bill Montgomery was killed in 2020 by COVID and Charlie Kirk was killed in 2025 by gun violence.

The adamant elite refusal to call bullshit is a big part of How We Got Here.

The prevailing cultural attitude for years is you must not, under any circumstances, treat anything as bad faith. You are obligated to find some reasonable idea and engage with that, even if you distort to get there.

This is the stupidest timeline.
The White House has instructed NASA to terminate two major, climate change-focused satellite missions. They've been collecting widely-used data, providing both oil and gas companies and farmers with detailed information about the distribution of carbon dioxide and how it can affect crop health.

With Tom Lehrer's passing, I suppose this is a moment to share the story of the prank he played on the National Security Agency, and how it went undiscovered for nearly 60 years.

I made a necklace from #PolymerClay. The pendant and colorful beads came from the same batch of mixed clays. Notice how the pendant is mirror-imaged? So are the beads; each one is a four-part Rorschach test, so you can do a self-therapy session wherever you go 😉
