Hi everyone. Sorry to start your day with bad news. It's my very sad duty to inform you all that @stevesilberman.bsky.social , my wonderful husband and best friend, passed away last night. I'll have more info later. For now, please take a moment to remember his kindness, humor, wisdom, and love.

Much in the same way the Ku Klux Klan’s practice of burning crosses outside black homes “signaled their willingness to challenge African American claims to property ownership”

I mean I guess I’m glad the NYT didn’t attempt to fact-check this one???? But also, “signals Trump’s willingness to…shatter longstanding norms of political speech” is quite the euphemism for “we still cover this guy as a serious candidate, mainly for financial reasons.”

And even if it wasn’t PLANNED as a cruelty and mostly happened through negligence, with an side dish of revenge for some slight, an appetizer of bullying, and a cocktail of prank, it’s still gross recklessness and negligence, and to get to that level requires some absolute thoughtlessness.

What shall it profit a man if he shall gain the whole world, but lose his soul?

Nice to see Bill Clinton to remind us of a time when a “bad president” meant a lying kind of rapey dude willing to betray progressive values to a bogus “third way” who could … ok now that I think of it that’s still not great.

also the money of Fairfield County

to call this “half true” is fucking insane. eliminating overtime as a concept is the same exact thing as eliminating “overtime pay.”

Politifact: this statement is only half true. Our basis? Pretending that "overtime pay" is different from "overtime protections," which consist of pay for overtime
