There are a lot of things about long covid that are way worse, but the limited capacity to read subtitles (before I get a debilitating headache) is such a stupid frustration to have. Could I watch Lupin dubbed? Yes. Do I want to? No. Drops of God? Just ... waiting for the ability to start S2.

Why is this not headline news??? www.mediaite.com/media/news/f...

At this point, it feels like it's just a question of which comes first: he's starts babbling about raping kids or what we check the headlines for every day.

I know there’s a lot going, but 19 Republican AGs have said—in writing!—that pro-choice speech should be criminalized. Thats a Big Fucking Deal and it blows my mind that more people aren’t talking about it

128 letters sent! We need 200 to hit today’s goal — we’re 72 letters short! Won’t you please sign the petition?

This article does not discuss one major reason why chocolate in the West got worse - Ghana and Ivory Coast, the two African countries that are the biggest suppliers of cacao globally, got organised and started demanding fair prices for it. www.reuters.com/world/africa...

Extremely disappointed that my pharmacy told me that, if I switch to taking my compounded prescription as prescribed, instead of splitting the dose, it would cost me half as much. Alas, I will pay more to feel better. (And it should cost more for 90 human-filled pills than 30. It's fair. Hmp.)

Is "collie-flower" a regional pronunciation, like "foe-ward?" I would like to feel less stabbity about this, but I'm not succeeding. Let's blame the lack of estrogen.

A rare piece of good news in the battle for trans rights. paywall-free link: archive.is/BlRYy

This, like it should not take an implied threat to you for you to be horrified and disgusted that entire groups of people are being terrorized. Trans People deserve basic decency because they do, not because it buys me better treatment by extension.

What it's like trying to get prenatal care in western Alabama if you are uninsured. This is why we exist. This is what we do. This is why we need you. wawchealth.networkforgood.com/projects/250...

FWIW, I have better luck with replies like: Burn in hell, bigots. (For any religious-themed messages.) Go fuck yourself, you racist/lying/Nazi piece of shit. Or, my personal favorite:

"Wool" clothing companies in the US feel like such a scam. Look at our NATURAL FIBER clothes that are 30% nylon. That'll be $90 for a tank top. Meanwhile, you can get 100% merino ones, made in NZ, of traceable NZ wool, shipped, AND PAY THE TRUMP TARIFFS for half the price. This fucking country.

I mean, also a lot of teenagers and children. I know it’s appealing to think these were all girlbosses standing up and making speeches at the stake, but many of them were literally children and it was a kangaroo court - nothing they could have said or done, in many cases, would’ve spared them.

Tuesday's Memphis City Council meeting was eventful: in a 9-0 vote with one abstention, the council voted on a non-binding resolution calling for the Tennessee National Guard and ICE to leave the city.

Is anyone interested in learning how many personal pan pizzas I earned through the Pizza Hut BOOK IT! Program in second grade?

The Unviversity of St. Thomas student who yelled "Go back to your own country, b---" at a protester outside a Turning Point USA event at the U of M has issued a public apology and withdrawn from St. Thomas. (FYI: She was a first-year, not yet a nursing student) www.twincities.com/2026/10/21/u...

I'll take, "Things that should be illegal," for a thousand. As well as, "Things I guess I was foolish enough to believe were illegal."

The Abduction of Persephone, by Nicola Maria Rossi, early 18th c

If Zohran Mamdani or Abdul El-Sayed had used the word “Shylock” as an insult, the ADL would be attacking them by name relentlessly. But Donald Trump used it, so we get a generic condemnation of the word without any specific reference to who actually used it, and with no assumption of intent.

MSPsky, someone in Minneapolis has found what appears to be a stolen Mac laptop and would like to return it to the owner.

Huge follow-up reporting to my scoop: The Guardian confirmed America Next—the conservative nonprofit founded by Bobby Jindal that was offering students $ to disrupt El-Sayed events—paid a firm registered to Tommy Teepell’s dad Timmy $250k for “canvassing and influencer marketing” against El-Sayed.

"Debit and credit holders are reimbursed for unauthorized transactions under the Electronic Funds Transfer Act. In 1996, Congress voted to exclude SNAP recipients from receiving those same protections due to concerns that it would be too costly."

We have several million people newly disabled by the pandemic and all but shut out of society, so I’m gonna say 13.

Public schools in Utah banned a best-selling Jodi Picoult novel and ordered all copies destroyed. So ... Picoult arrived at a Salt Lake City high school this weekend with 600 copies of the book. And she gave them all away, for free. "Applause and cheers erupted." www.sltrib.com/news/educati...

Made a little video about my reporting on “Tommy” from the viral @abdulelsayed.bsky.social town hall

This is really worth watching.

Doorknocking in Moose Lake tomorrow. My tour of Minnesota (Winona, Maple Grove, Minneapolis Ward 6, Beautiful NE Mpls, and next Saturday, Shakopee) continues. Join me! DM if you’d like to join up in these final weeks!

the US exectuted brown but didn't execute a single confederate general or politician after the war. this is why things are the way they are. woke 3 should include renaming every single school in the south named after any confederate officer after john brown.

Somebody said "They voted for racism and got poverty" The thing is... social scientists and economists have been saying for the last 50 years Racism is austerity

AI agents aren’t going rogue. They’ve by definition been programmed. the lack of accountability is crazy-making

In recent election questionnaires, House Speaker Lisa Demuth said she voted to cap the price of insulin for Minnesotans. But in both 2019 and 2023, Demuth, alongside nearly every other Minnesota Republican, voted against measures that would reduce insulin prices.

I use Instagram for animals w/buttons to communicate and general puppers, but it apparently knew I watched Josh Hartnett's new show, and then I made the mistake of answering a question someone had about him. Anyway, my Insta is now ~50% Josh Hartnett and I've literally only seen 2 things he's in. 😑

Always appreciate when St Paul gets some national attention 🙄 Proud of the ordinances passed here to protect our rights and neighbors.

What's hilarious is, most of us who are voting for her could come up with a substantial list of reasons why Amy shouldn't be governor, off the top of our heads. It's like Republicans can't help but lie.
