A very important map! [My earlier pinned post of this vanished. 🥺]

She’s been pissed off her entire life because she cannot own Black people, I guarantee it.

Oh no! The odious NYPD union is upset.

What is math, ya bigot?

Today in Mississippi, Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Scott Colom showed up to meet and talk with Trump supporters who were in line for the president's rally with incumbent Republican Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith. Read more about the race: www.mississippifreepress.org/meet-the-can...

My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

The latest in a string of stories on people using world-changing technology in precisely the wrong way. Instead of helping to solve climate change, let’s solve [checks notes] nighttime?

Phew! The first day of parent-teacher conferences have come to an end. Three more days to go.

Oh so a country *can* choose not to make the same mistake twice

Under Lulu, Amazon deforestation rates have been plummeting—by 41%. The planet won tonight. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Holy shit.

In his acceptance speech, Lula says he will work to regulate digital platforms in Brazil. “Digital crimes must be dealt with like real-life crimes.” This comes after Meta directly interfered with the Brazilian elections, favouring Flávio Bolsonaro.

Congrats to Lula on overcoming Mark Zuckerberg and Donald Trump to defeat Hospital Pervert Jr., even as his opposition literally blocked off roads and turned off bus service during election day. Fascists are scary but they are always, 100% of the time, ultimately gigantic fucking losers.

Putin is having a no good, very bad day.

Phew!

Political fundraising emails and text messages are off-the-charts pathetic and insulting. Anyone running for any office should take a long, hard look in the mirror before they sign up for one of those embarrassing ass firms because they literally make you dislike the candidate more with every one.

I was searching for “Halloween cookies” in my photos to find some examples of my husband’s talents. This was the top result. 🫠

LOL

I will say again and again: Look how easy it is to state the obvious position that discrimination is wrong.

For all the data nerds out there.

Take a break to look at this amazing illustration.

Vote!

This guy?

I don’t know, man, I’m kind of sick of treating Trump and his cronies like they’re just absurd and laughable and not really spending any time talking about the murders, the concentration camps, the millions starved around the world, people living lives beset with threats of violence and erasure.

There are 13 judicial candidates on the California state election ballot, but there is zero information in the election guide about who they are and why they want the jobs. Voters choose either YES or NO to elect a candidate to a term-limited position. The lack of transparency is frustrating.

scott galloway and jessica tarlov held an event here in town yesterday where “don’t impeach or waste time on investigations because ‘28” was the consensus position of the panel. so yeah, this is something to anticipate.

Mark Carney on Elon Musk crippling Ukraine’s Starlink: “I search for the right adjective to describe whoever took this decision… against a country that is literally fighting for the lives of its citizens against naked aggression."

This beautiful book by Ta-Nehisi Coates inspired me to format Ugly: A Letter to My Daughter as a direct address to my child...

Yikes and also what the fuck?

I called up Mapquest. I called up Mapquest. I said, "We've gotta change the name of the ocean!" They said—I couldn't believe it—they said, "Go fuck yourself, you fascist fuck"
