One thing we need to be prepared for on election night is that there will be a premature rush to characterize the results from incomplete and early results, and once that narrative sets in, it can be hard to shake even as the numbers change. I wrote about this phenomenon in the 2018 midterms:
So angry about this rn. Also on hold eternally trying to arrange thyroid surgery. So already angry.
The shorter Vivek: if we were to abolish Medicare and Medicaid, we could make the wealthiest 0.001% of the population much wealthier, and we'd have more money for bombs and missiles in the Middle East, too. Sure, life expectancy for the peons would drop, but that's a good thing.

It’s helpful to have an actual Labour MP saying right out that it’s not what transgender people do or say that is the problem: it’s their presence that she objects to, their existence. Yes, this is what it always was, and these people just keep winding each other up and up to ever more extreme views
labour mp clarifies: yes, trans people must be banned from hospitals

We've got to nationalize SpaceX. We have no choice. We can't operate our military without them and we can't trust them to serve our national interest. There is literally no other option.
The United States is actively helping Putin murder civilians in Ukraine. Trump is doing everything he can to force Ukraine to surrender to his friend and ally Putin so they can be subjugated by the Russians again.

While researching #Korea’s #SchoolLunches, I found a 2020 study: universal free meals were linked to ~35% fewer behavioral incidents, especially physical fights. Students already ate school lunches. What changed was who paid. doi.org/10.1016/j.ec...

In early 2025, I assumed the Trump regime would delete the Department of Justice’s press releases and other statements related to more than 1,000 Jan. 6 cases. So I downloaded them. We’ve now made them available to the public with a search tool. They can’t erase history. jan6memoryproject.org

Award-winning American photojournalist Heidi Levine describes being violently attacked by a mob of Israeli settlers while covering the olive harvest in Turmus Ayya near Ramallah this morning. By Oren Ziv @mekomit.bsky.social
This is a fantastic little video and looks like an incredible book. The thread below, however, is kind of a proof of concept that queer or straight, cis or trans, anything “female” coded will get a canned masculine response amounting to “there there, smile why don’cha, I think you are fine.”
In Ugly: A Letter to My Daughter, I write about the difficult experience of growing up aesthetically misaligned with my “prom queen” mom and how my queerness exacerbated my sense of ugliness.

Wow this is just stunning. I would love to see it in real life.

These are all photos by Heidi Levine, the @washingtonpost.com photojournalist assaulted by Israeli attackers today in the West Bank. She was covering Palestinian families picking their autumn olive harvest. Israeli soldiers did nothing to stop the violence. washingtonpost.com/world/2026/1...
