    I ate a dozen macarons. At least when you’re feeling full you’re feeling something.

    This is Lena Isley. Her husband and high school sweetheart Billy was a Kingston coal ash worker who died in her arms this week. No one from TVA at the funeral

    The only good thing about JD Vance's stupid fucking movie--Ron Howard, you are dead to me--is that some more folks will maybe read 's book:

    I make less than 20K a year. You can buy my entire life many thousands of times over for a fraction of what people will pay to hear some granny with a fake accent ‘tell it like it is.’

    Does that mean we get a “what you’re getting wrong about Appalachia” movie too?

    JD Vance getting $45 million from Netflix to make (more) conservative political propaganda and thousands of media folks getting laid off this week probably have more in common than I want to think about right now.

    No but it will be brought to you, in part, by severely under-funded film and media makers!

    Replying to @elizabethcatte
    Will it be streamable on Netflix?

    I will never apologize for sounding like a broken record about reparations, and universities with fat endowments need to pay. Thank you for all your soul searching about your shitass history, now get your wallet.

    It is bad enough that Yale gave us JD Vance, but of course elite schools gotta plunder that natural gas wealth too.

    This shouldn't surprise me after reading 's work, but I just found out about Yale's $78m direct investment in Antero, which has been fracking the hell out of Appalachia. Nice to know that WV's drinking water is the price to pay to run an elite school...

    There is a local optician here whose marquee now reads “Got a touch of the Birdbox? Let us help.”

    NPR’s (really good) Black Lung coverage is awash in the kind of comments you might expect. “Progressive.”

    Ross barely misses a beat when he’s talking about unpaid workers paying *interest* on the personal loans he thinks they should take out *in order to follow the government’s orders to keep working indefinitely without paychecks*

    Wow. Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross just told 800,000 employees who have missed a month of paychecks to stop complaining and go get a loan (with interest) from the bank. There "really is not a good excuse" why they can't get money, Ross said. Read the full remarks below. 👇

    There is more depth in a West Virginia pothole than your party combined.

    We have 654 miles of physical barrier in place today. If we pass this amendment, we can build 234 more miles in areas like the Rio Grande Valley, where career Border Patrol personnel tell us it is needed most.
