@NickKristof When I read something like this I want to do something meaningful to stop the cruelty. Merely being vegetarian/vegan doesn’t seem like enough. What are the options for actually affecting change in a billions-of-dollars industry?
This is my repeated experience in hiring a cleaning lady.
FIRST VISIT, TO SECURE THE GIG:
cleans my tiny apartment so spotless you could build an iPhone in it
EVERY OTHER VISIT:
Waves a damp rag out her car window as she zips by on the way to better-paying houses
If you're where I am in life, this is the time where you watch a movie and think “I wanna know who played the old man” and then you look him up on IMDb and he’s a year younger than you.
I was always ignored here back when it was Twitter, but maybe this liberal can at least look forward to some good spicy flame comments now that it’s Truth Social 2.
Is there a law that, to have a viral animal video channel, you HAVE to be a Hot White Woman who "downplays" her glowing beautifulness by wearing a (cute and feminine) ball cap? Can I please see one viral video helmed by a malignant troll person, ie, one of the rest of us? 🙄
Over on IG, @coreyrittmaster photographed strike realness.
To stop the strikes...

@georgie_grier Was a standup for 10 yrs, flew to Florida to play to 3 ppl in the back of a fish restaurant w/xylophone music playing and the audience yelling for me to "do (n-word) jokes." It sucks like holy hell now, but what doesn't kill you goes in your next show. Big love to you!
@State_of_Play Your KAMI 2 community is a thriving bunch of artists and we would love some updates! New colors, features, bug fixes, maybe a way to interact more with each other? Please don’t forget your older games!
Rando thought: The Met Gala is a grotesque love letter to the income gap, randomly glorified people parading around almost literally wearing money. If that much capital and inventiveness could be used in some worthwhile way, the world could be so, so gloriously improved.
@misslucyjane Late night is when my brain works; I write on computer. I often use the social pressure of public places to make myself write bc you can’t just sit there. I go til I hit the wall, about 1.5 hours, refresh by doing something very un-word-y like hanging with pets and then repeat.
The most unreal thing Paul T. Goodman has said so far was that he wishes his show were a movie, so he’d be up for an Oscar. That this guy seriously believes he could ever be in the presence of an Oscar that isn’t rightfully followed by the words “Meyer wiener” is mind-melting.
@ElvisCostello I’m sincerely happy for you on this lovely reunion…but I’m also obsessed with finding out what’s happening with the pants/skirt/shoes/? of the fedora-ed person behind you. From the calves down they’re suddenly turning into a snowdrift? I must understand what they’re wearing!
