@CaitlinPacific A better description of Appalachia is Demon Copperhead by Barbara Kingsolver. Vance’s caricature is based on stereotypes, not real experience of Appalachia.

In the dramatic circumstances of war, information must guard against the risk of turning into propaganda. It is every journalist's duty to verify the news, so as not to become a megaphone for power. They must show the suffering that war always brings to populations, which entails showing the face of war and recounting it through the eyes of victims.

Congrats to the IATSE Kin behind tonight’s #Oscars2026 winners and nominees & a round of applause for the union crew that made tonight's ceremony possible.

The Lyft CEO actually works as a Lyft driver every 6 weeks to make sure he really understands the business.

This should be standard in all companies, with few exceptions (I don't think airline CEOs need to fly passengers around lol).

@michaelmiraflor If they’re pilots, they should keep their licenses updated and at least do a copilot gig on the regular, but if not — *nods toward the back of the plane as the service alert bongs*. Also, they should serve as attendants even if they ARE pilots.

@_smert_miru_ Been thinking about this since you posted. I think it’s a strain of antireligion and has nothing to do with which side of the current Overton Window one is. Fascists without faith also harbor the same hatred, especially against anyone concerned with justice and righteousness.

Most church people think their churches are accessible because they say, "All are welcome." Welcome, however, requires accommodations. It requires dedicated, competent helpers and set-aside spaces. #accessibility

I'm confused about the 'Canada as 51st state' thing because, if they succeeded, they'd be adding 40million new citizens who overwhelmingly hate Trump and hate MAGA, flipping the House and Senate. Right?

Teaching ethics to undergrads in 2025 is bizarre, because:
(1) They insist morality is entirely relative and culturally constructed...
(2) ...while simultaneously holding unshakeable ethical convictions and viewing disagreement as moral monstrosity.

Did Russia invade Ukraine?

It’s a pretty simple question I had for the Deputy Secretary of Defense nominee. It’s an obvious “yes” to everyone except this administration.

DOGE is effectively the new political compliance department. A DOGE representative in every department of government in charge of hiring and firing on behalf of an executive whose most prized trait is loyalty? They’re going to be the “political officers.”
