RIP Rev. Jesse Jackson There are going to be a lot of tributes to his activism, so I'm choosing to remember how much he crushed hosting SNL

Because I woke up without much pain I Wild Thinged the day, and now........

Wow.

My God, America

Incidentally, I met him during the 2004 election because he, like a surprising number of presidential candidates, came to assemblies at my high school in New Hampshire (largest public school in the largest city in the state). He was the speaker at the Martin Luther King Day assembly that year.

Reverend Jesse Jackson has passed away. I've always loved his visit to Sesame Street.

Zimbabwe-Ireland was washed out, which sends Zimbabwe and Sri Lanka to the next round, and Australia and Ireland are out of the T20 world cup after the group stage! Now if Namibia can beat Pakistan tomorrow, the US would also make it through ... 🏏

As of this morning, only one of the men who was standing on the balcony of the Lorraine Motel that fateful evening is still living. Since Brother Jesse passed at 84 this morning.

Loool

Australia knocked out of the T20 World Cup at the group stage after Ireland and Zimbabwe share the points for a washout What a time to be alive!

If they wanted to be competitive they could simply have won some matches! #T20 #ICC 🏏 www.cricket.com.au/news/4452109

My god do we need UBI “Researchers have found that when a new plasma center opens in a neighborhood, foot traffic at local grocery stores increases, interest in payday loans declines and crime goes down, an indication of the way money from plasma props up households’ finances for necessities.“

Sorry all this is my fault; and speculation has grown worse because I have been sick in bed with a high fever and unable to reliably address it (still am sick) I was told by management not to comment until they did. Here is my statement in images below arstechnica.com/staff/2026/0...

When I lived in South Africa during the dying, pre-internet days of apartheid, the BBC World Service was a trusted news source for me, as it was for millions of others who lived under oppressive regimes. Sadly, it's been dying a slow death for years. Now the Labour government wants to kill it off.

Worms in their food. Guards shouting orders and snatching toys. Restless nights under fluorescent lights that never fully go dark. A Russian family says their children have endured indignities they never imagined possible in the U.S. during their four months at a Texas detention center.

So, like… …what are we even doing just like… …continuing with everyday stuff?

Ngara has always changed; it archives the evolution of Nairobi itself. So then what of the change brought by the urban renewal project unfolding in Ngara now? What is the real question behind the question of gentrification? I wrote this for @africasacountry: africasacountry.com/2026/02/visi...

I came upon this red-tailed hawk as he was in the ditch hunting. He had dropped down from a tree and was doing the grab-the-grass technique hoping to feel and catch a mole or vole. He came up empty this time and launched back up to the wire. #birds #red-tailedhawk

Alt-text: Trail cam pic (actually a video still from a Go-Pro) of 3 burrowing owls: 1) One right up next to the camera lens so you can only see half of it's face and part of its body 2) A second one at the bottom of the view, farther back with its head tilted quizzically. 3) One flying in the back.

a neighbor set up this werewolf for halloween and instead of taking it down they just update it with seasonal outfit changes. now it’s dressed for valentine’s day and holding a sign with a picture of bad bunny and his super bowl slogan. i love him.

Just got off the phone with the President of Antifa. They said they have a cell in Florida that set up a fake tailoring shop, where they created this custom garment to humiliate Michael Flynn.

I was shocked at how border control in China was so calm compared to how aggressive and rude American border control is.

Possible they've won already

One small example - China is making it easier to visit China, the US is making it harder (and far less attractive) to visit the US.

Anyone have a gift link for this, please ? 💙

"Without even opening a book, they could dismiss all of feminism, postcolonial theory and queer studies. They could continue to ignore giants like Edward Said, Judith Butler, and David Graeber, and devote their brains instead to the race science and rape apologetics that now pass for scholarship."
