You know what I’ve never heard in my life is a person say “I had wonderful, caring parents who weren’t always perfect but tried very hard and loved me and I’ve decided to cut them off entirely.”
And yet all of these parents seem very sure that’s what’s happening

Rob Reiner was a good guy. He made a lot of movies about good guys, in worlds where not everyone was good and you didn’t have to be good. He made movies about people trying. He was angry, as many hopeful people are. He knew the world could be better and he wanted it to be. His death is devastating.

Jay Inslee's 2020 authoritarian opponent Loren Culp appears to be calling for mass executions by hanging. This is a tweet from today.
If you're not on Trump's team, you should be killed, basically. Horrific stuff.
It's Matt Shea level awful ("If they do not yield... kill all males.")

How bad is it at home that a 44 year old Philip Rivers looked at the Seahawks defense and told the Colts “Sure, I can come to practice tomorrow, let’s go” 😬

Yeah, a House member needs to send up that impeachment flag. This is illegal, immoral, dangerous behavior — that is also likely unconstitutional as well.

This Day in Labor History: November 30, 1999. The WTO protests begin in Seattle. Carefully constructed coalitions between labor, environmentalists, and other activists were blown up by anarchists who hijacked the protests for their own purposes, leading to a violent response from the Seattle cops!!!

no one has even bothered trying to convince us there’s a threat from Venezuela. no weapons of mass destruction. nothing. just a war of choice because why not.
US operations against Venezuela to begin within days.
Covert ops the first move.

I really want to know the full story behind this epic hack, and yet I also hope it is never solved.
It's my favorite day! It's the 38th anniversary of the Max Headroom signal broadcast intrusion!
1st incident lasted 25s during the 9PM news on WGN-TV in Chicago; The 2nd, 2hrs later, lasted ~90s on PBS affiliate WTTW during Dr. Who.

Felt like the D was going to have to get a turnover to get something going for the offense - I wish that turnover had come with a defensive score but let’s see if the offense can take advantage.

Antisemitism is a lot like Qanon child abuse conspiracies in that there’s this real and bad phenomenon and, parallel to that, what can only be described as a large scale mass psychosis about a mostly fictional version of the same phenomenon

Found the tweet that Joyce Carol Oates bodied Elon Musk with and it's so beautiful in its eloquent, simple take down. So much so he's crashing out trying to prove he reads books now. Put this in the Louvre.

I saw someone on my timeline shaming someone else for posting about college football in a time like this.
Folks, if we're going to survive a time like this, we're going to need to avoid burning out from an attitude of 24/7 vigilance and constant outrage.
Let people find joy where they can, please.

If you’re ok with vouchers being used for ski trips or piano lessons but not ok with SNAP benefits being used for pizza or cupcakes, it’s not the use of public money you have a problem with.
It’s that you think wealthy people deserve perks and poor people deserve to be poor.
