The broadcast was on a 2-hour delay and one of the winner’s speeches was edited down when they ended it with “Free Palestine,” but they left this in? The producers did everyone dirty with that.

Deliveristas ending their shift and about to head home over the Williamsburg Bridge, though the blizzard. One of them, Salvador,tells me he’s happy for the cutoff by the city. “This is more dangerous than last snowstorm, harder to move in,” he tells me in Spanish.

@ziibiing.com is responsible for millions of dollars being directed to mutual aid groups and individuals in MN. She did that from her platform on here. Profound gratitude to her for that.

New Yorkers: if you can do so safely, take a moment to step outside (even on your front stoop) for a moment and appreciate how quiet the city is right now. ❄️ Cities aren't loud. Cars are loud.

This is exactly right. The Onion quietly left Twitter a month ago and... our weekly subscribers went up. It's because we're doing well here, on Instagram and on YouTube. As a business, being on Twitter is somewhere between useless or detrimental, unless you're selling boner pills.

US Fed Railroad Admin is apparently directing Amtrak to split itself into 3 entities: —Operations —Rolling stock [& maintenance facilities] —Infra [mainly Northeast Corridor & stations] This approach could have major ramifications for Amtrak. I'm personally quite skeptical it will improve outcomes.

Holy shit @wired.com story written by a woman positioning gay men as insidious and suggesting this marginalized group is suppressing the success of straight men in the industry. They've got tons of anonymous sources (what's their agenda?) and in the first graph they even say this might not be true!

Let's try this again 👋 Hi Bluesky - I'm Massachusetts' Attorney General. You might know me from suing President Trump nearly 50 times, beating Uber and Lyft in court, or being the first woman of color elected to statewide office in MA. I officially left X today - help me find my MA people?

"thin places" are locations where the veil between the physical and spiritual worlds is said to be particularly thin.

Multiple people tell me the only reason they still use Facebook is for FB Groups. So, of course, Meta is doing its best to ruin that feature with an unstoppable AI inviting hundreds of people to someone's private tea party group.

i think one of the roadblocks people feel like they’re running into when deciding to donate to mutual aid funds is figuring out what’s trustworthy. i find it helps to outsource that vetting - i trust ian completely, and ian knows & trusts their community in minneapolis.

A lot of people, including me, were wondering how an IRB could ever approve this study. The answer is that no IRB did. The person who “signed off” on approval from the only ethics board that reviewed it had resigned three years earlier. His signature was used without his knowledge.

I was disappointed to read Cory Doctorow's post where he got weirdly defensive about his LLM use and started arguing with an imaginary foe. @tante.cc has a very thoughtful reply here: tante.cc/2026/02/20/a... A few further comments, 🧵>>

look if a Democrat wants me to be really fired up about voting for them, they will promulgate the Crimes Against Humanity Reparations Act which gives US citizenship to everyone targeted by the Trump administration.
