If this is a difficult season for you I want you to know that the band that had a hit with the blender song in 1998 thinks you're alright

It's ok to look after yourself. It's ok to get some rest. It's ok to wear a crown of goblin bones to your nephew's birthday party. It's ok to grow a coat of moss, disappear into the forest, and become a creature of folklore and legend.

This is too familiar. A year and a half ago my wife needed a hip replacement. It wasn’t a choice. It was a medical necessity. Through our jobs and my WGA membership we have three “great” insurance policies. The day before the surgery a clerk said her primary insurance wasn’t going to cover it.

Apropos of nothing, thru my spouse‘s job we have “ good” insurance. 5yrs ago, I had knee replacement &they made me jump thru 1 million hoops ofc (& we were out of pocket $$$$ too). 1 month later, they sent me a 5-figure bill for the full amount. They *retroactively* unapproved it & demanded I pay up

I’m trying to stretch out this season’s episodes as long as possible, even though I just wanna gobble them all up at once! Such a great show.

Is anyone else watching the show Somebody Somewhere? It’s just so great. Whenever I finish watching an episode, I feel like I’ve spent an hour in sunshine.

Accurate. Join us! #WoTSkies

This is also why I’m a big fan of voting because voting is in fact the far superior method of figuring out how to divvy up power as opposed to mass murder

I’ve never thought about recording feedback for student assignments and sending them to the students. Like a personalized grading podcast. Has anyone had any experience with this? I’m intrigued…

To recap, the guy nominated Ambassador to Israel does not recognize Palestine and the guy picked to lead the military gets drunk a lot and yells stuff like "Kill all Muslims". I'm sure it's nothing to worry about.

A key asymmetry of this era of American politics and how it’s covered is that Trump is expected to do bad and corrupt things, so when he does it barely qualifies as news. But Dems are expected to be beyond reproach, so anything that seems even slightly suspect is a huge scandal.

Wow. So terrible. Where is the justice? A whole lotta folks need to be fired and arrested if you ask me.

Michael Harriot@michaelharriot.bsky.social

For five years, I have been covering what is unquestionably the biggest criminal justice scandal in American history. Today it ended when the most corrupt cop in history took his life. But it's not over. A thread.

We’re not accepting complaints about the Hunter Biden pardon unless you also complained about the Steve Bannon, Michael Flynn, Roger Stone, and Paul Manafort pardons.

Yeah, I still think he chickens out and claims victory like this

Willing to post a reasonable bet that before 1/20 he issues a statement saying tariffs are no longer necessary b/c Canada and Mexico are now "doing their part" because of His Glorious Negotiating Abilities.
