Everyone who illegally sat on the Pioneer Square pergola has had their biometrics uploaded to the Real Time Crime Center. Expect a visit.

This kind of smart, walkable, mixed-use urbanism is illegal to build in most American cities.

In Seattle we take to the streets when our sports teams win. Until the “don’t walk” comes on. Then we take to the sidewalks.

Sports!

In America ,our solution to impoverished children is transferring them to richer parents, rather than assuring their parents have resources to raise their children and ensure they can thrive.

Feel like there has been a lot of “conspiracy theorists were right” but what actually happened was victims were and that’s much harder to accept for most people

Fear is the revolution killer. If you've been spooked about the Signal stuff and want some *actually* practical information, watch this video. And share, because the algorithm doesn't like this stuff.

There’s two people I know where I’m certain this is absolutely true.

Alright, where are my gifted kids at? You were smart and you never had to study and then you went to college and suddenly had to learn a new skillset overnight, that everybody else had years to learn, or flame out spectacularly? That’s what talent is like.

ICE has grabbed so many people from their vehicles that there are abandoned cars across Minnesota. This tow truck driver returns the cars for free as a public service, and he’s been getting death threats. They hate the helpers. Which is why must keep helping.

My story "Bots All The Way Down" keeps coming true 😭😭😭 www.lightspeedmagazine.com?p=35448

Someone said this morning that it's good it calmed down in the Twin Cities. It hasn't. The news cycle just moved to the Olympics. It's WORSE here.

Welcome to the Winter Olympics don't ask about how many people died or were injured in the making of this sport please and thank you.

Sometimes I think of over-the-air audio and video being freely available if you had a basic device to access it and am in awe.

Writer's parents own 200 units in the city and have racked up many, many violations.

Remember when you were a child, broke something in the house when your parents weren't around, and then spent time coming up with the most cockamamie tale of how the thing was broken? Yeah, that.

According to an organizer, “all signatories are full-time employees, and nearly 30% are Google Cloud workers.”

Happy International Clash Day #kexp

I am crushing on the NYC mayor soooo hard.

Once again, it turns out “fully autonomous” means “a guy in the Philippines.”

I just finished a major, major blocker to getting Jon’s estate stuff finished today. It was so hard for me to do, but thanks to a friend body doubling I got a bulk done last week, and finally sent it off today. Just a few outstanding items, and that part will be done!

What if we all abandoned the digital systems they’ve imprisoned us in?

obviously i'm not a christian, but as a jew who believes that we pray with our legs, and that prayer is protest and protest is prayer, i find nicki minaj's comments ignorant and offensive

“Prayer is meaningless unless it is subversive, unless it seeks to overthrow & ruin the pyramids of callousness, hatred, opportunism, falsehood. The liturgical movement must become a revolutionary movement, seeking to overthrow the forces that continue to destroy .. the vision.” Rabbi AJ Heschel

One of the things that happens when power and money are all negotiated through connections to a wealthy sex-trafficking pedophile, you end up with a bunch of wealthy and powerful people who are all the kind of people who are okay with that.

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again. #Pinks #ProudBlue

Revelation deserves notice because it’s an early warning of moments *like* we’re in now. No supernatural qualities needed, it’s an allegorical warning of the threat of someone who moves people with lies, convinced to turn against all that is good.

Not a Christian but starting to believe there might be something to that whole Antichrist thing.

It’s 2026. There is a measles outbreak in the prison for babies

Good morning — Groundhog Day (Harold Ramis, 1993)

Groundhog Day is an early German American adaptation of medieval German custom where badgers were said to predict the weather on Candlemas. other countries in Europe used other animals, and the English tradition simply treated the weather on Candlemas as predictive: a clear day meant a longer winter

I think it's funny that this interview gave Chotiner a chance to reference this thing he tweeted about 4 years ago

Groundhog Day | noun | a situation in which the same usually negative or monotonous experiences occur repeatedly or are felt to occur repeatedly with no change or correction

Hey funny story! Remember how for like 20 years we said if you tell people to only study STEM that job market would tank & also no one would be able to think critically about rhetoric or ethics, know what happened at any point in history or value much but money? Man, I love that one. Cracks me up.

🚨TONIGHT’S PROTEST IN MINNEAPOLIS IS INSANE: CNN is STUNNED. Share this widely! “I've covered many protests… I've not seen a crowd like this before.” It’s 8 degrees. “It is freezing, but nothing, nothing is stopping these people.” This isn’t a rally. It’s a movement. @calltoactivism.bsky.social

It’s pretty fucking wild that the DOJ is releasing files that include accusations that the President of the United States raped underage girls, to distract from the fact that the DOJ is covering up murders of US citizens by their own government.

and, as i predicted days ago, things have only escalated here. again, listen to people in minnesota about this. it was all non-minnesotans who celebrated bovino, and meanwhile nothing's changed on the ground here. please dear god just listen instead of rushing to speak. theyre coming for you next.

ICE has been holding a disabled Black man for a year! Rodney Taylor is a double amputee who was days away from receiving new prosthetic legs when ICE took him. He’s been denied his prosthetics & placed in solitary. His health is declining. Public outrage might save his life. Say his name:

wake up babe an italian guy is doing phrenology about norweigans bsky.app/profile/zack...

This is grim. www.bloomberg.com/news/feature...

Borders also keep you in

Solidarity with every single person participating in today’s general strike against ICE’s terror campaign. You’re changing the world ✊🏽❤️

The news claiming the Feds changing posture or backing down, no. They’re just working to make their atrocities less visible. This is actually bad.
