Remaining on this hellsite feels a bit like having a supporting role in an old school war drama.

“I’ll find you there!” I call out bravely across the widening distance between us, as your train pulls away towards Bluesky.

I smile through my tears. We will see each other again.

The fact that males are getting angry about Uber giving women the option for women only drivers is exactly why women need that option.

They are lowering US flags to half-mast for a week, but if the government really wants to pay tribute to Dolly, they should fund education, the arts, and medical research instead of trying to eradicate them.

@SenSanders If you feel inclined, Dolly Parton was a champion of Child Literacy and Access to Education, due to her upbringing in the rural Appalachian Mountains. You can make a donation to her foundation to continue her work supporting community libraries here:

The abuse the ex wife of the Maine ICE agent details in NPR interview is horrifying, including a 2022 police report of throwing his 13 year old daughter through a coffee table, a voice mail from last year saying her throat should be cut, and pulling a gun on her in the shower. She questions if ICE runs even a basic background check on recruits.

Thousands of Americans are getting sick from a foodborne parasite, and federal regulators have still not publicly identified the source.

So what's been happening in the federal government over the past year that might be a factor in this outbreak?

We already have a process for determining whether accusers are credible. It’s called a trial. And a jury already decided they believed E Jean Carroll. THIS is weaponization.

@artwithinpod @AndrewBartlett If you’d told me last century that I would be wholeheartedly agreeing with the Pope and utterly ideologically opposed to the US Health Secretary, I’d have checked your tea for LSD.

Almost forgot to post this - Happy John Brown’s birthday to those who celebrate.

Try not to be the sort of person John Brown would have shot.
