I am visiting Philly for the IA Conference and loving it. If you're here too, please let me know! #iac26

you shouldn’t learn about bands from shady TikTok manipulation, you should learn about bands by hanging out with a girl you like but are also extremely afraid of

Exactly 💯

I hate Google for making me turn off all smart features if I want Gemini to stop suggesting writing at every turn. What do you mean you won’t add calendar events unless I take your shitty email and word doc suggestions

Brutal.

If you're also feeling especially emotional or fragile today, get your eyes misty for this good doggo and the people who still bring them sticks.

Yeah so he is just going to keep doing the thing where we are in a constant state of uncertainty, confusion, stress, and tension because that is what abusive people do and the people who are in a position to address this are asleep at the switch.

Just because a President announces he’s agreed to a two week ceasefire moments before he threatened to commit war crimes, does not mean he is suddenly fit to serve. #25thAmendment

If you’ve never called your congressional reps before, do it right now.

People of the USA: Don't let yourself watch even one more cute cat or astronaut video until after you call your 3 congresspeople and demand the president's threats be prevented.

#Artemis crew to Mission Control, after seeing and attempting to describe the eclipse: "And if you could give me about 20 new superlatives in the mission summary tomorrow, that'll help my vocabulary out a bit. Thank you."

Seeing the moon by earthshine, even vicariously, is a thrill.

Call me radical leftist scum, but I don’t think billionaires should exist. If you can’t live with $99,999,999.99, then you’re just going to have to tighten your belt. Every dollar over that amount should go directly to a community fund for healthcare, housing, and education.

At least Ahab had a clear and well defined goal

It’s not lost on me that this is happening during Ramadan and during fasting hrs.

I don't have anything I can say on here except that I want everyone, especially the kids, to be safe and well, and that my heart hurts for so many people I care about who are terrified for their loved ones tonight

@rith.au Hank started a science, thought you'd want to update the days.

Hawthorn says I should take breaks from reviewing @buttonevents.bsky.social talk submissions... But they're so good, y'all. This community is full of STARS.

Go see this talk, and you'll be equipped to push back on "engagement" as a metric—AND SAVE US ALL.

This in Sinclair Community College in Dayton, Ohio by the way. Could not love this any more :)

As backronyms go, this is an excellent one. And it's real: www.njleg.state.nj.us/bill-search/...

I am bouncing up and down in my chair like a little kid as I wait to look at talk submissions for Button 2026. But I don't get to see them if YOU don't pitch them. Submit by 11:59pm CT (that's UTC -5) tonight, February 20! www.buttonevents.com/2026-confere...

Getting shown up in the arena of elite impunity by *the British monarchy* is an incredible “America at 250!” achievement

I regularly see people wondering how it's possible that there are so many musicians and writers and film makers and artists from a tiny nation like Iceland. And the answer is really simple: State funding for art education and artists. I literally get a salary from the government to write books.

NOBODY wants this, Google.

A system built to eat people never stops eating people.

Meta banking on people willing to be pay to be haunted is end-times kitsch

This used to be the quiet part. Is it better now that it's out-loud?

Media coverage of Gaza has plummeted. So today on @thenation.com, we're doing something pretty special: we're only running pieces by people in and from Gaza. We're calling it "A Day for Gaza." You can find links to all of the incredible pieces here. Please read! www.thenation.com/article/worl...

Georgia Fort, an independent journalist and vice president of the Minnesota NABJ chapter, was also arrested by federal agents this morning I was sent this video of agents at her door:

And if you'd like some, a lovely designer we know created them so we could drop ship 1000 to Minneapolis and the other designs are free for you to download, print at home, or have bulk printed! drive.proton.me/urls/TKVTS18...

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

What is obvious to me is that a lot of people deeply care about their neighbors and this country. They didn't think we would. We do.

By who? Who shot the person dead? You saw the video. We all know a federal agent shot a man dead who was prone on the ground. Also, it's not "according to officials." It's according to verified video seen with your eyes. Not saying what anyone can obviously see with their eyes is a form of lying.

Absolutely. Not only a fake problem but a verified strength — morally, culturally, financially, and on and on.

The StarTribune live blog is paywall free: - The man shot by federal agents this morning has died - Several witnesses have already been transported to the Whipple building. - ICE attempted to order local police from the scene, but O’Hara refused, sources said. www.startribune.com/ice-raids-mi...

ICE agents killed a man and are disappearing the witnesses.
