Resent the fact that I was forced to re-learn that stupid kid’s name (Kyle Rittenhouse) and also learn that he’s now married.

I was watching Severance lately and I thought it was kind of absurd to have a business that was interested in anything other than just making money. And then I see this and I'm like, no actually there are businesses that are actually run by religious cults.

"You shouldn't protest, you shouldn't oppose the government, ever," says the people hoarding guns in case of "tyranny."

This country's unrelenting zeal for concentration camps is just disgusting.

Me, screaming and slapping a guy whose had a "don't tread on me" bumper sticker since 2008: This is THAT!! THIS IS THAT!!!

Yet another human being—with more heart, more compassion, more positive influence on the world, and infinitely more value than Trump could achieve in a million lifetimes—destroyed by fascism.

AI summaries in search is a terrible idea, and let me tell you why. Say you want to know whether you should feed your dog raw food. You know there's a spirited debate about this, so you search "Are there benefits to raw pet food?" 🧵

The rate at which I become aware of someone I didn't know before and become irreversibly convinced they should go eat shit is now pretty much daily.

I’m an atheist. I don’t think in terms of good vs. evil. What is happening in the US, though, is making me believe in Satan. Not, like, The Satanic Temple, which are good people. But like the real deal fucking devil.

Completely done with buying gas. It's evil, it's colonialist, it's stupid, it's deadly, I'm done. Getting an electric car asap or fucking walking.

Fuck every single stupid loser who joins ICE.

BBC saying the intervention in Venezuela is without precedent is total ahistorical nonsense. We can recognize Trump as uniquely horrible and illiberal without resorting to utterly erasing American imperial history.

Literally a publication for eight-year olds 40 years ago

I won't mince words. The Trump administration kidnapped legal asylum seekers and then paid a psychopathic government in El Salvador to torture or kill them because the Trump gov't enjoys hurting people, they genuinely get off on it, and they're anti-life, misanthropic sickos.

Look at this competency.

Yes, it should have been. But the world hates #DisabledPeople too much. So of course it was gonna slide. It’s also why society at large couldn’t see that the ramping up of #Ableism was a sign that Fascism was coming. If only the warnings of Disabled people had been heard.

If ya’ll had my Instagram algorithm right now you’d be convinced that like, every human on earth is missing both legs, or has a little arm, or is deaf, or uses an ACC device

Always good to hear @britthyoung.bsky.social talk about the reality of these technologies and the claims so many people love making about them. www.marketplace.org/episode/2025...

I just met a grad student who spent a gap year in Alaska learning dog mushing and he had never heard of Balto (movie or the dog). That's wild, right? Or am I just a huge Baltohead?

I have a one armed friend who always refers to his "two-handed children," and it's the best gag. "I have to go pick up my two-handed children." Oh the poor things!

What I’d do to be at @jamellebouie.net’s house today.

Really looking forward to recreating the literacy rates of 13th century Italy. I will be the new Dante.

The answer to every single one of these that aren't complete fever dreams is billionaires.

The double-take I did upon seeing my house mate's moisturizer adorned with prosthetic, hairy warts.

The Lord wants you to support your local movie theater.

“Don’t let the bastards grind you down. I love you all.”

I love when people say a project "has legs." What kind of legs? I always imagine chicken legs in stilettos.

Yesterday, The Tyee looked at how the industry is struggling to meet demands for wheelchair maintenance and repairs — a situation that can trap people at home or even in bed while they wait. In part two today, we look at solutions. @michellegamage.bsky.social reports. 🦽 #bcpoli

I wrote a check today, so I guess I can at least make a semi-formal announcement here: EBB is going to be a sponsor of @oaklandreviewofbooks.org. What that means for them & for us, who’s to say! But it should be interesting figuring out.

The "I'm really good at making deals" president was actually just manipulated behind the scenes by the real deals guy, Epstein, who hand picks cabinet members and dreams up policy on the fly over text message.

3D-printing was supposed to revolutionize prosthetics. Now the hype has passed we're seeing where it's really worthwhile, and the challenges that remain.

About 10 years ago, people started asking me when I will 3D print my own arm, convinced from the media that the era of expensive prosthetics was over and a machine in a garage could whip me up something better. I looked into the current state of 3D printed arms, and it's not as rosy as it may seem.

I just want to say I am in favor of an extremely aggressive climate change action strategy that mobilizes the entire US military, every scientific resource available, and all gov’t agencies to transform the electrical grid, buy back gas cars, & protect coastal communities, wetlands, and forests.

Richest nation in human history

Ppl say both Musk & Trump are narcissists I think there’s a key difference. Musk is an insecure narcissist—thinks he’s god, knows deep down that ppl hate him, desperately needs approval. Trump is a secure narcissist—doesn’t need anyone’s approval, he’s more delusional, but is also more exploitable.

This isn’t true. It’s actually the Trump Administration’s brave, forward-thinking new climate policy.

I told a group of 60 undergrads that I decided to keep teaching this year because I love DEI and they broke into an applause. Imagine saying that kind of stuff, but to like, voters.

Six people have died from eating pasta. Six. Pasta. No political reckoning, no firings, no investigations into the big supermarket chains, just 'hey, sometimes pasta be deadly, oh well.' www.npr.org/2025/11/04/n...

Again, this precise use case is why these systems exist-to proliferate people’s racist (transphobic, misogynistic…) imaginary at scale. This should not be seen as a “misuse” but rather the product being used exactly as intended.

Trump, like most clinical narcissists, is just an interior designer at heart.

Penn's Alumni newsletters were hacked by right-wing losers, and that's probably a good thing to piss these children off. If Penn keeps it up, I might even consider donating.

Citing a Trump executive order banning "gender ideology," the VA is withholding coverage and treatment for male veterans with breast cancer, an increasing condition among veterans exposed to toxic chemicals during service. 100 male veterans a year are diagnosed with breast cancer.

IT HAS HAPPENED -- an event has appeared on @coyotemedia.org, @oaklandreviewofbooks.org and @bayareacurrent.bsky.social calendars. The bay area indie calendar EGOT. What event is it? Well you will have to read all three calendars to find out. Yes I am a social media genius thank you.

A lot of people ask me what I will "do with" my geography PhD and I'm always like, "I'm /doing/ all sorts of things with it. It made my brain good."

Read me.

Get in loser, we're going biohacking. Because we don't have doctors.
