I'm *so* not perfect, politically or otherwise. That said, this = my online home, so act like you got some hometraining. Unless explicitly stated otherwise, all opinions are my own, not a representation of any employer.

As long as you don’t need gas, groceries, affordable healthcare, retirement savings or constitutional rights, things aren’t so bad.

This is so heartbreaking, and also I am going to make my PSA again.

Babies can be vaccinated against measles as young as six months, it’s just not standard. It’s usually only recommended for international travel in the US. But guess what? We’re the plague pit now.

Grammarly turned me into an AI editor against my will and I hate it The company tells Platformer it will let experts opt out of the controversial feature β€” but how different is it than what every other AI company is doing?

Wait, what?! Grammarly made an AI persona of me and all these other journalists?!!!!!

Thank you @caseynewton.bsky.social for shaming them into at least offering a paltry optoutβ€” although obviously that is not enough.

I don't think we are prepared for what is going to happen to the US public opinion of the state of Israel - and the spillover onto people's opinions of American Jews - if it comes to be widely believed that Israel started a war that led people to be unable to afford gas.

Hello I want to remind everyone that Trump’s introduction to the national stage was the USFL. The football league he destroyed in under one year due to his bullshit & bad business acumen. This ridiculous idea that he’s some kind of business genius has always been complete & utter BULLSHIT!!

Spain’s ability to defy Trump is in part do to their shift toward β€œrenewables” and away from
fossil fuels, but it is also from
the distinct way that Spain remembers how and why it became targeted by terrorist attacks and them not wanting to be made vulnerable again by joining with the US

I don't think you can fully understand how this fucks over Jamaica, without understanding Cuba medical interventionism.

The *goal* is to harm Cuba I get that. But a lot of other places are going to be harmed if the US keeps going this route.
