in 2017 a popular twitter game was to type a partial phrase then see what your phone auto-completes it with. this proved so popular that it is now the only business model in the US.

lol this is gonna burst so fucking hard

I want to combine the Hong Kong International School 60th anniversary #HKIS with a trip to the mainland. I could plan it myself but after 6 years as a full-time travel agent for myself and my husband I need a break.

I wrote about MAGA’s war against normal American drone users - and how they’re trying to take control of the skies for themselves.

THREAD. A collection of photographs of excellent sheep I have met on walks. You will find the captions to each photo in the alt text.

Whew! Thought I might have to do my workout inside for the first time since we got back in November but the weather decided to cooperate just in time. #orangeCounty, CA Who else is working out outside this winter? (Go ahead hate me.)

This made me laugh.

Everyone says dating in LA is hard so good luck girl.

Well, this is interesting! The U.S. Attorney’s Office had a draft statement announcing Jeffrey Epstein’s “suicide” dated August 9, 2019. He didn’t die until August 10. Totally normal. Nothing to see here.

Luge is exactly the kind of sport I would enjoy participating in if I was a completely different person.

Oh and just because I know someone's gonna share it eventually and it's awesome. Iconic advert from a few years back. youtu.be/xC1GUmwzUNw

All praise Eustace Murphy. I guess.

I also am surprised as is Brittany I guess. #Olympics

#olympics The AI translation of Mariah Carey’s Opening Ceremony song in Italian is horrendous, “Zack dreamer survive the groove.” Now it’s doing it to the Italian National anthem which apparently includes a lyric about Sheep. The singularity will be garbled.

To all GOP officials, If you are not denouncing his racist and disgusting post, you are condoning it. Through his words and actions, he has literally given hundreds of exit points. If the Epstein files don’t matter to you, if this racist post doesn’t matter to you, where do you draw the line?

@faineg.bsky.social let me cook a whole meal all by myself the other night and this is exactly how I felt except 55ish years later. (Also check out the cool pop-out stove.)

Today at school dismissal, I followed a suspicious pickup around for a bit, keeping an eye on them, trying to figure out if they were ICE. Then I realized they were keeping an eye on me also. Then I realized they were, in fact, other parents. Life in Minnesota, January 2026.

In 2023, CBP killed a young Black girl that they imprisoned by incarcerating her and failing to provide the needed medical care for her sickle cell anemia You cannot reform this apparatus which kills people no matter which party is in charge Anadith Danay Reyes Alvarez, who was 8 years old

“I watched him die… then I watched them maneuver his body like a rag doll— only to discover it was because they wanted to count the bullet wounds and see how many they ‘got’, like he was a deer.”

Breaking news: Composer Philip Glass withdrew his highly anticipated Symphony No. 15 from its scheduled Kennedy Center performance, saying “the values of the Kennedy Center today are in direct conflict with the message of the Symphony.”

Creating a honeypot Signal group called “No More ICE” that just reviews space heaters.

You probably saw this, but I liked something Jamelle Bouie said about it being "cargo cult authoritarianism": they're not capable of doing the work to create a regime, so they're just doing things that look like authoritarianism and assuming it'll somehow conjure a regime out of nothing.

I think it is *incredibly* irresponsible for someone like @stonekettle.bsky.social, with a huge following, to claim that Signal is just as insecure as texts or other public social media. This is a classic “making perfect the enemy of the good” error.

ICE has now carried out two summary executions of innocent people in the streets of an American city. If you work for ICE, there's no denying that's the mission you're supporting now. You don't get to claim in one year or ten or twenty that you didn't know what ICE was doing. You're complicit.

I ❤️ sea anemones or (sea enemies as a little dude called them back when I was a tide pool volunteer at Crystal Cove in Southern California.)

The National Science Foundation sign on our Eisenhower Av building is now gone. The NSF mural in the foyer is removed and torn off in sheets. We were supposed to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the agency in May 2025. That never happened.

It’s quite likely that being called a “fucking bitch” is one of the last things a dying Renee Good ever heard. I demand leaders who are as filled with pure, diamond-hard rage over this as I am. I believe this is absolutely not asking for too much.

if you vote for another cent for this you are a collaborator. this is a litmus test for every politician for the rest of my life

They are canceling youth sports across the city in Minneapolis this weekend because lawless masked armed federal paramilitaries are targeting the children and families.

This could be the unified Dem position. It is wildly popular. Puts the regime on defense on two fronts at the same time. Good policy, good politics.

I just read “Becoming Duchess Goldblatt” - fantastic book and the best account I think I’ve ever read of the genuine value and weirdo beauty of building community by means of oddball social media accounts.

@duchessgoldblatt.bsky.social thank you for “Becoming Duchess Goldbatt” I will strive to be a better person in her honor.

New from me and @tristanl.ee with a bit of help from @wileydcope.bsky.social: We identified companies in the Dallas-Fort Worth area that are operated either by members of Patriot Front or individuals with multiple connections to Patriot Front www.texasobserver.org/revealed-fou...

Remember that a major principle of the MAGA movement is that you should never have to face any consequences, no matter how minor, for your actions.

I feel pretty misunderstood by people living in rural areas, and yet mysteriously, this isn’t considered a problem. I’m sick of putting up with this idiotic display of obeisance to chucklefucks simply because they live in rural areas.

Looked down just in time.

@adamfrank4.bsky.social Thank you for “The Little Book of Aliens” an excellent primer for the non-scientist but alien curious. I laughed, I learned, I pondered.

From a good friend in Minneapolis: "Target is allowing ICE to stage in their parking lots, use their restrooms, and abduct people from inside their stores - so if you weren’t boycotting already, now is the time." They were staging in Chicago as well.

From the archives: the journey to save the life of a dog with heart disease.

Very weirdly but true

I will die yelling on this hill I am horrified we’re still in a world where this lack of empathy bullshit holds sway—and by professionals not just the general public

"These days are dangerous. Virtue is choked with foul ambition." Shakespeare, Henry VI

I’ll never stop flogging this post even if it’s not well written because I wasn’t wrong.

I was not prepared for this.

404 Media is absolutely crushing it in their reporting on the technology infrastructure behind ICE, and all the companies making it happen.
