Booker: "I confess that I have been imperfect. I confess that I've been inadequate to the moment. I've confess that the Democratic Party has made terrible mistakes that gave a lane to this demagogue. I confess we all must look in the mirror and say 'we will do better.'"
Thank you!

Today is my day of birth and I feel pretty ✨
Oh yeah, the whole thing was extremely out of touch but if I suspend my disbelief, I can understand why one would think it was a good song choice
Johnny Cash was a big Jesus guy though
It’s official: Elon Musk’s staffers have now illegally obtained classified information from the USAID office.
Here’s a recap of what’s happening:
hey does it look good for posterity when you're doing this, asking for a friend
Having a very bisexual day (went thrifting and then to Home Depot)
See, this is how you know someone wasn’t on TikTok. Earlier this week TikTok was doing polyamory discourse, and just this morning I saw a video saying that Americans hyper-focusing on the U.S. being the worst country ever is just repackaged American exceptionalism. You can’t escape discourse in 2025
True, and it’s demonstrably bad for attention spans and mental health. However, banning it outright (especially in this way politically) also feels bad. In these tenuous economic times, it also benefitted a lot of people. And it was a powerful tool for community building. So idk what to think atm
Bluesky post that says “welcome tiktokkers we call dances sentences and our limbs are words”
Or this
Actually, I saw nothing but comments and videos from people saying how much they’ll miss the Americans. We are nothing if not entertaining
The worst part about the TikTok ban for me personally is that I know I could use this as a motivation for quitting endless scrolling of short-form video content, but instead I’ll probably get addicted to the far inferior Instagram Reels instead
Ate really mid food last night at a non-chain restaurant for great food prices. Pissed. Going to eat mid food at a chain restaurant tonight for mid food prices and I’m PUMPED.
Just got back from seeing Nosferatu (amazing) and now I’m watching Kenny Omega wrestle (also amazing)
googling "last minute gift ideas for the one person who has sustained me, without whom I would be lost, unmoored, crashing upon the rocks under $25"
Raw milk is one of those ideas that can really only take hold when people haven't seen a cow. if you see a cow from let's say ten feet or less you immediately understand the problem that pasteurization is solving
I wasn’t super into it until college either! I’ve gone back and listened through to a bunch of albums in full that in high school I only knew a few songs from
Four albums that dropped when I was in high school & defined my music taste forever
Standing in a Williams Sonoma mostly against my will and realizing people actually wear those “old money aesthetic” fits irl
Going to see my friends play some local music tonight, one of life’s great pleasures
Timely post as I’m rewatching Ken Burns’ Country Music
This was a great discussion but honestly I can barely stomach listening to Bernie without remembering my first great crushing disillusionment with the Democratic Party in 2016 and how largely checked out and hopeless I’ve felt since then

I really try not to be a snob about most things but I am very rapidly becoming a restaurant snob. There are few things that upset me more than paying good money for shitty food in an off putting environment
It is so unfortunately obvious that Wrapped is of a lower quality this year and was largely developed by AI
Good bread is crucial
I’m caught somewhere between awe at the moxie to make such a bold joke and deeply unsettled by the antics of a person experiencing the male loneliness epidemic
Hard launched my marriage on my Instagram today and a former Tinder match I never met and only chatted with ~thrice commented “Sorry I couldn’t make it!”
so i shared jonbenet theories on twitter because the new doc brought up questions. I decided to write about the new netflix doc, what it gets wrong, what it leaves out, why it leaves so much out and why so many people think they know what happened deeptrouble.substack.com/p/why-the-jo...
