@davidsirota I’m not kidding when I tell you my aunt was so fixated on her Kaiser Permanente enrollment she actually said it “saved her life” when it almost bankrupted her. She was arguing against universal/single payer healthcare at the time.

A Scottish laird threw his sheep onto a beach in 1832 and left them to starve. They are still down there, still eating, and they have since evolved so far into the job that a green field would now poison them. North Ronaldsay is the last island in Orkney before there is nothing. Three miles long, flat as a table, and windier than is strictly reasonable. The laird wanted the middle of it for cattle and crops, so out went the natives to the shore, which is a decision that reads perfectly well in an estate office and looks somewhat different when you are standing on shingle in February. To keep them there, the islanders built a drystone dyke round the entire circumference of the island. Thirteen miles, six feet high, laid by hand, no mortar, still standing. It is a Grade A listed structure, so a wall put up to inconvenience sheep now enjoys the same legal protection as Edinburgh Castle. Nobody expected the flock to make old bones. They took up kelp. There are two land mammals on this planet that live on seaweed. One is the marine iguana of the Galápagos, which has never been more than about nine feet from a film crew. The other is a small brown sheep in Orkney that nobody has heard of, working a beach in the dark. And they did not just get by. They reorganised their entire lives around the tide. They sleep through high water and rise for the ebb, which is two hundred years of tide table written into an animal with no clock and no reason to care. Winter storms tear the kelp off the seabed and dump it up the shore, so while every other flock in Britain is going backwards on hay, the beach sheep are gaining condition in January on a crop nobody planted, watered, ploughed, sprayed or paid a penny for. Seaweed carries almost no copper. So they evolved to hoover up every atom of it going, and that machinery has no off switch. Put one on ordinary pasture and it keeps taking copper on board at beach rates until the liver packs in. They are the most copper-sensitive mammals known to science, and a field of good Orkney grass is, to a North Ronaldsay, a slow poisoning with a lovely view. Which leaves the arrangement completely inside out. The wall was built to keep the sheep off the good ground. The wall is the only thing keeping them alive. About 2,500 of them, owned communally by a dozen or so islanders, descended from animals that were on that shore before the Vikings arrived and formed opinions about it. Every winter knocks a few more sections of dyke down. Every summer a handful of people put a few back up. Only one of those lines is heading the right way. The kelp industry the wall was built to replace collapsed and is gone. The laird is gone. The crops are gone. Most of the islanders are gone. The sheep he sentenced to death are out there tonight, waiting on the tide, farming the only ground in Britain that gets delivered twice a day by the sea.

@DemzDeliver “Democrats” didn’t deliver: Mamdani and social democracy did. If his policies become the norm in the Democratic Party, you can claim delivery. Until then, when your dollars fund the diametric opposite of his ideas, keep your brand off his accomplishments.

@FDNY “On” or “in front of”?

Somewhere a therapist is trying to get people to "live in the moment" while this girl is already three levels deep into a made up game that only exists in her head and involves real trains. The world needs more pointless whimsy.

We can build 100,000 permanently affordable homes in Massachusetts, and I'll show you exactly how while teaching how to cook Haemul Sundubu Jjigae! 😋

MA is now the most expensive state in the country to grow old. In Somerville, older neighbors on fixed incomes of about $30,000 a year face costs over $37,000 just to stay in the community they built. 60% of our residents over 65 who live alone cannot cover their basic needs.

@hallofgoodpod We had the Hawk Andre Dawson, Ricky Henderson, Dante Bichette, Brett Saberhagen, quite a few notable folks had a stint with the Sox!

@sevendaysvt Oh no!

“Do You Support Israel’s Right to Exist?” Mehdi Hasan FIRES BACK Mehdi Hasan: I've been debating hardcore Zionists, Israeli supporters of Israel, for years. And the conversation always comes back to one talking point: “Do you, or do you not support Israel’s right to exist?” If you don't, you're an extremist, you're an anti-Semite, you want to wipe Israel and millions of Israeli Jews off the map. But you don't have to concede on this point. It's a bullshit argument. Number one: Right to exist where? Israel is the only country in the world that refuses to define its borders. So if you want me to recognize Israel's right to exist, does that extend into Gaza, the West Bank, the Golan Heights, East Jerusalem all considered illegally occupied territory under international law? So, right to exist where? Number two: What is this right to exist? Where does it come from? States don't have a right to exist. People, individuals have a right to exist. Human beings have that right. Not states, not countries. The USSR broke up into Russia and 14 other states. Yugoslavia broke up. Czechoslovakia split into Slovakia and the Czech Republic. What happened to their “right to exist”? People have rights, not states. And number three: If there is a right to exist, does Palestine have a right to exist? Israel exists. It's a country with sovereignty, it's on the map. The idea that in a world where Israel is genociding the Palestinians in Gaza, ethnically cleansing them in the West Bank, and blocking their legal right to return the idea that Israel's right to exist is the one we should be concerned about, and not Palestine's, is both ridiculous and, let's be honest, racist.

@LucifersTweetz Not becoming, has become.

@SJones995429616 @timecaptales Looks like Nancy Carrell and Dave Koechner, but I’m not sure

Leftists accused of antisemitism (Mamdani, AES) go out of their way to say they love Jews and promise to protect them. Conservatives accused of Islamophobia (Loomer, Fine, Tuberville, etc) proudly say ‘Yeah we don’t want Muslims here.’ Guess which ones the media covers intensely?

It’s only been a few hours since the first viable Muslim Senate candidate won a primary and his GOP opponent is already running ads featuring Osama bin Laden and 9/11. The Islamophobia over the next few months is gonna be vicious.
