just overheard a 4th grader telling her friend, "if you ever need to distract some boys, literally just draw an X in the dirt. they'll stop to dig it up, they can't help it" which is the only gender metric I'll be using, moving forward

Today @evangreer.bsky.social of @fightforthefuture.org writes on dangerous social media surveillance legislation that would force everyone in MA to upload a government ID to post, and attempts to "keep children safe" from the internet around the country. www.welcometohellworld.com/the-kids-are...

I feel like that's the biggest issue in our industry and AI has just multiplied that tenfold. Software that improves people's lives is created with care. I feel like we're teaching a generation of developers that it's totally normal for stuff to be broken all the time. Not sure how to solve this.

Part 2 of a series: The Worcester City Council ended resident petitions in 2025 due to "important city business" while meeting less than any year since before 2007.

The media suddenly starts to pretend that they care about "the rituals of democracy," after elevating the Jan 6 leader for 5 years.

kfc in my small town has started halving their chicken breasts and selling it as a 2-piece. Multiple people have brought this up to me in the past week. It is quite literally the talk of the town. Someone called into the radio station about it and said it should be burned down with the owner inside

Amazing to me that people keep screaming about security failures in a situation where security did not fail. Bad things didn't even happen to bad people, so you can stop pretending to be worried about that. Stop whining for a bigger, badder police state.

The internet has taught you more languages than you know

The Mass GOP convention is being held at DCU Center this weekend. Avoid downtown and come to New England VegFest at Worcester State instead on Sunday - free admission plus great food and merch vendors and tables with info about compassionate causes. www.nevegfest.org

A lot about the world is very heavy right now but if a college football podcast that got jettisoned by Vox during the pandemic for not having a marketable audience can raise this much money for refugees in Atlanta in two days then just think of all the stuff we can all do together

Guys, the economy is great, don't you see how good it is that people are paying interest on their groceries

Democrats being urged by politically toxic consultants not to oppose the politically toxic tech so as to not lose donations that are politically radioactive. Absolutely perfect Democrating.

we used to be a country

struggling to think of anything I would find less appealing than this

it's so funny that the united states government is schisming despite not actually being part of the church

People will be closely studying how Hungary's opposition pulled off their win in such a pro-incumbent system. Important to note that the theme was corruption. Democrats need to get much better at calling out Trump's corruption.

bumping again! spring season is almost here! there's also probably some flexibility on price, if that's the dealbreaker for you and your kiddo. DM me if you need.

Thank you to @mikeconnollyma.bsky.social and @electerika.bsky.social for being the only #mapoli Dems to vote against a bill that will require YOU... YES YOU... NOT A KID to give biometric, age verification information to big tech corporations to access Bluesky and other apps.

he must have gotten real rattled by those First Amendment pocket squares

"If you remove him you get Vance." You're familiar with Donald J Trump's foreign policy where we remove a country's leaders one by one until we get to one we can do business with? No reason impeachment can't work the same way

no01.substack.com/p/farming-101 this was a really good article and full of simple things you can do to grow and preserve some of your own food no matter how little space you think you have.

maybe he's just a big fan of NCIS

Incredible

Folks, I give you the New York Times

This is so, so well-articulated.

Say what you will about him but he made it all very plain.

hell yeah

How many more studies does your city need proving that people on bikes and on foot spend more on shopping streets than people in cars? But the store owner LOVES parking in that spot right outside… Bike-lanes mean business. #UrbanTruth

The courageous men of the 82nd Airborne will be honored to make the ultimate sacrifice so Trump’s friends can win bets on when they die. by Marc Thiessen

Walking thru the “Ultra Normie” No Kings rally in my extremely rural, white town and there are Patagonia wearing moms carrying signs that say “DEAD PEDOPHILES DONT REOFFEND” and “ICE GETS THE WALL” and I hi fived an old guy with a sign that said MY DADDY FOUGHT NAZIS AND SO WILL I” this is wild

another banner day for "if you didn't know sports were real, ESPN headlines would be crazy"

Gang. GANG. Here's that Ghanian bootleg Cheers artwork you were looking for.

I’m at ICE HQ

I am using slack to ask for help filling out an email template which must contain links to a wiki that has release notes made up of Jira tickets and none of this shit is automatically populated and I am going insane, I need to find a new job

just got a voicemail asking me to donate to a worcester back-the-blue campaign to support brave officers being assaulted and attacked by pro-political forces 🙄

An overconfident Team USA getting embarrassed by a much smaller country in front of a global audience is their last and most beautiful tribute to the American military yet

me when It Happens

They’re telling me a great empire will be destroyed if I attack Persia. Even the oracles who don’t like me very much, very nasty, they all said to me, “Sir, it’s one of the great empires, and it’ll be destroyed. And all because you attacked Persia.” That’s what they’re telling me.

OK it took a minute but Matt Berry saying “K-pop demon hunters” has fixed me
