we have to think so much less about finding the right candidates and so much more about building political power that makes individual candidates simple stewards of the will of the bases they are accountable to

We acknowledge that no one has the bandwidth for this, but if it helps: -It’s ‘sleight of hand’ -It’s ‘bated breath’ -It’s ‘lo and behold’ -It's 'buck naked' -It’s ‘brass tacks’ -It’s ‘free rein’ -It’s ‘toe the line'

Pumpkins get from the fields to our homes for #Halloween Jack-o'-lanterns thanks to the labor of farm workers like these Moorpark CA farm workers who load each pumpkin by hand into the large cardboard box before shipping to cities ahead of Halloween. #WeFeedYou

As the person in my union who gets to handle grievances, can I just say that administrators should really stop trying to fuck with humanists. THEY ARE ARCHIVISTS. THEY ALWAYS HAVE RECEIPTS.

Derrick Bell convincingly argues that Jim Crow was only abandoned because it was harming America's image abroad and making countries more likely to align with the USSR. I'd also note that MLK hated both capitalism and imperialism and no politician ever dares mention that now.

They're playing the classics! Zelensky should be more grateful. Mamdani should be more grateful. El-Sayed should be more grateful.

JD Vance calls El-Sayed "a little weasel who should shut his mouth and show a little gratitude"

Thank *you*, so much, for *listening* to me, for paying attention to how I said things and what I said. That you did that means that I can trust that you listened to the *other* people you interviewed.

So excited about this book!!!

We are about 6 months away from my book, RESONANCE & RADIANCE, being released into the world. (April 13th, 2027!) RESONANCE & RADIANCE is a narrative nonfiction book about spectroscopy—the field of science that studies how light interacts with molecules. I want to share this book’s origin story 🧵:

everybody surprised that universities would trumpet their award season connection to a professor they essentially fired really didn't take the lesson from the decades of them trading on radical traditions of protest they tried like hell to crush at the time & have all but succeeded in crushing today

just to emphasize what's happening here: BMW (a company that used slave labor under the Nazis) refused to provide an official vehicle to the ultra right-wing AfD party, which is now asking Elon Musk to provide a Tesla instead Tesla literally becoming the Nazi car brand

Jaap Burger@jaapburger.eu

The party is now turning to the man who has been the go-to person for those suffering from spontaneous contractions of the right arm, and who has already provided them with strong support in recent years.

The "SI" thing is was intended to provoke this exact sort of sniveling response from the courtiers, to train the oligarchs to humiliate themselves for Trump so they'll do it again later when it really matters.

BAIER: The president says 'SI.' Are you into SI or AI? BEZOS: I do like SI, because 'artificial' is not a very flattering thing. Like, nobody wants an artificial sweetener, artificial flavoring.

I'm so confused by Publisher's Marketplace book tracker. I've paid for this function for about a year after each book came out. The number my publisher gave me in terms of how many books I sold in the first year was thousands and thousands above what the book tracker ever said.

Now looking at my numbers for PREGNANCY INTERRUPTED and I have no way of telling how far off they are or whether it's worth at all having this serve if it seems to bear no resemblance to the truth.

There are a lot of Trump officials who need to be impeached, but Russell Vought -- the quarterback of all the Project 2025 fuckery and a central player in the administration's overreach -- really needs to be at the top of the list.

(As a runner, the number of times I have met people who swear they have great control over their dogs who DEFINITELY DO NOT cannot be counted, I do NOT RUN directly past dogs, even ones I "know".) It's like how everyone thinks they're an above average driver. Sure Jan.
