If we could do only one thing to right this ship it has to be ending the culture of elite impunity in this country. Once you get past a certain wealth threshold you not only become invulnerable to criminal liability, but you lose the ability to lose in any way at all
The American political class is utterly delusional, adrift in a dream of normality, unable to process the actual reality of events on the ground, where the US just launched a completely unprovoked war against a massive country, murdered its leadership, and demanded its conversion to a vassal state.
After the arrests of powerful men across the world, you might be asking why the US has so much trouble holding its leaders accountable for lawbreaking. Since Nixon, all three branches of government have worked hard to ensure they can break the law with impunity www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...
This is one of the most heart-breaking & important articles I have ever read - from someone whose voices are so rarely heard, a teenaged girl.
If you want to understand online misogyny in all its devastating impact, please read this shattering piece.

Those are the days that make or break your routine. Good on you for sticking to it.
Meanwhile, I haven't exercised in years LOL

Sucks that there's just no innovation here because the market for printing isn't really growing so all we get is continued enshittification. No one wants to invest in a good product in a stagnant market. :/
Yeah, I feel like I shouldn't struggle so much with connecting to a printer on my network in 2026 but here we are because it's proprietary bullshit with no logs/troubleshooting available to us.
This @bostonreview.bsky.social piece by @adambonica.bsky.social and @jakemgrumbach.bsky.social is an absolute must-read, as are many of the responses to it.
Spread this one far and wide.
it's hard to explain how horrible and dangerous this app and the people who made it are but I tried: www.404media.co/app-for-quit...
I cannot express how it makes me feel to see my Minneapolis neighbors living every day in the line of fire, risking injury, imprisonment, and death at the hands of a tyrant, while these soft, empty suits prance around at Davos and hope that if they pretend hard enough he’ll go away.

"It's another thing for The New York Times to report this. I think they put a stamp of legitimacy on medical falsehoods. They also legitimized anti-trans hate, really." Very important comments from @billiejsweeney.bsky.social. transnews.network/p/a-directiv...
I did this last year and realized it's just more work for them so this year I made sure to assemble them first (a chair and shoe organizer)
Sounds rough. I'd hate to have my parents backseat drive.
I haven't traveled with my parents in years, but it was stressful in a different way, as they'd pack half the kitchen and buy too many groceries.
This is some fucking bullshit that companies have been pushing for years. Any feedback or complaints are pushed to front line employees who are powerless to do anything so all you can do is vent but the company doesn't have to change a thing, even if they wronged you.
One thing I always want to ask these masculinity entrepreneurs is why men can’t look to women as role models, and can’t see in women models of human virtue and thriving that are worth emulating. After all, women look to men for these all the time.
So he just didn't address it??? Reed flag for the gf loooool
Umm wtf
If 2023 was the year AI slop was embraced by spammers and social media influencers, and 2024 was the year the slop era began in earnest, 2025 was when slop became embedded in our cultural institutions and social spheres.
On the slop layer that we all must navigate now:
This is one of the worst, most horrifying exposures we have ever seen. It is hard to overstate how bad the things that people are using tools like for are, and it's insane to pretend like these tools are anything other than nonconsensual porn machines

I know a lot of people say liberals can’t win in Ohio because of housing costs but I think a better theory is that liberals can’t win in Ohio because they say things like THIS
What the fuck, it is.
No.... No, I don't like this. This can't be real.
The Epstein story gets a something that is tearing at the heart of the electorate: elite impunity. The idea that wealthy and powerful people can do terrible things *at scale* and face no consequences for them. Whatever political party actually stops it could rule the country for a generation.
That's really sweet ;_;
Behind all of the culture-war nonsense, the administration’s political allies—the ultra-wealthy, the fossil-fuel industry, and many in the corporate elite—are making out quite well. Some politically connected companies have even managed to get convenient exemptions from the tariffs. It’s all of those regular Americans Trump promised to fight for who are seeing their dollars buy less because of a conscious, deliberate effort to make things anti-woke. One might almost suspect that was the idea all along. But, hey, better broke than woke, right?
