I'd read a fanfic about the timeline where after making this video, Whitney Houston divorced Bobby Brown, came out, became the FIERCEST diva and advocate for LBGT+ rights and teased the press about whether a good Christian girl could also be a sexy leather domme ... youtu.be/xHv1KW7ciUM?...

LA, our megaevent age is upon us. And it all starts with this 39-day test run. This is not a guide for attending World Cup matches. This is not even a guide for watching World Cup matches. (Remember the Torched promise: no sports!) This is a guide for finding and sharing the best of our city

The Washington Post faces a class action over the legacy paper’s recent use of reader data to set subscription prices, a practice referred to as “surveillance pricing.” www.courthousenews.com/washington-p...

I made a Firefox add-on that lets you find the federal court opinion/docket mentioned in a news story in one click. Using @free.law's CourtListener and RECAP of course. addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefo... (this is a personal project)

On what would have been Prince’s 68th birthday, if you are one of those folks who never really got into his music, or tried to listen once or twice and got overwhelmed with the huge catalog behind 1 or 2 big songs, I made a set of playlists to help you explore his work. anildash.com/2017/02/12/i...

Had a really good time in Ann Arbor and #CALICon26. Learned things, connected with great colleagues, saw wonderful friends, enjoyed a cool town. Being near great coffee helped with the timezone adjustment (Comet Coffee). And got a lovely reminder of the Bay Area, as the beans are from Ritual.

Periodic reminder that Teapot Dome, the worst scandal in American history prior to Watergate, involved $9 million changing hands. That’s adjusted for inflation. This story by itself is 55500% bigger than Teapot Dome. That’s not a typo.

Remember the current NIH director going on about protecting researchers from government censorship? Today his people called the police in to forcibly remove my colleagues from their own society meeting for sharing an editorial published in their flagship journal that was critical of him. Gift link

With its recent rulings, the Roberts Court has now entirely perverted the purpose of the 15th Amendment, turning an outright ban on racial discrimination in voting into a right to discriminate against black voters. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Almost a decade ago, I was very Special Interested in mushrooms and developed an organizing training framework based on mycelium. The core teaching was, people think the above-ground part (the mushroom) is the body of the organism, but that isn't the case. So too with movement. (cont)

What?!?

Trying to be my bougie self by heading to the Ann Arbor Farmers Market and ran straight into The Culture.

Over 56 years, in one of the most technologically advanced countries on this earth, 26 years into the 21st century … and I am gobsmacked by encountering this the first time ever yesterday.

Very funny from /r/balatro

Trying something i haven’t done in a very long time: taking public transit to LAX. Bus->Expo Line->K.

How am I only just now enjoying, reveling, soaking in Mr. Malcolm's List? I read the book a while ago and loved it, but the movie just sends me! #romancelandia

1/ 🧵 OMB is advancing a proposed rule that would destroy the American scientific enterprise. Randos keep disagreeing with my 'here's how to fight it' I do this for a living. So before the "how," here's the "who" --- and why you should listen to me on this one.

hello! as a reminder this event is this sunday! see you there!!!!!! www.lapl.org/whats-on/eve...

well, damn

It’s remarkable how this administration has done every single thing conservatives pretended liberals were doing when Biden was in charge.

“There was a man who has Stage 3 lung cancer, not getting medical treatment. He wants to leave, go back home, spend his final months...with his family. But they just won’t let him go.”

“I write with dismay, grief and sorrow for the permanent closure of MIT Libraries Barker, Dewey and Rotch, and termination of library staff in those libraries. For MIT to be closing three of its four major libraries..." fnl.mit.edu/may-june-202...

The Pope has weighed in: AI isn't magic. It's currently produced by a deeply exploitative, extractive supply chain. It challenges human dignity; could fuel a new colonialism. And among the greatest challenges of our time will be to redirect its path of development. www.vaticannews.va/en/pope/news...

Just saw a hawk playing with two crows, riding the thermals and swooping around each other. They split up for a bit, then reformed into a trio.

KOLCHAK: THE NIGHT STALKER (James Wan, 2019) An investigative reporter named Carl Kolchak (Bob Odenkirk) comes to suspect that Las Vegas’ newest serial killer is actually a vampire. With Joe Pantoliano as Tony Vincenzo, Linda Shaye as Miss Emily, and Lena Headey as Gail Foster.

The sheriff's office still claims that the woman, a US citizen, was deportable despite all evidence to the contrary because the motivation is just racism, not anything else. Same as it ever was, and it endangers us all. thelensnola.org/2026/05/23/u...

Another reminder: if there exists *any* class of people who don't have due process rights, then *nobody* actually has due process rights because the government can always just say you're in that class.

On this note: another state (or several of them) should file an original jurisdiction suit against Florida on this basis. The domestic emoluments ban on states paying the president is a federalism safeguard, one state violating it is a real harm to the sovereign interests of every other state.

“The President shall, at stated Times, receive for his Services, a Compensation, which shall neither be encreased nor diminished during the Period for which he shall have been elected, and he shall not receive within that Period any other Emolument from the U.S., or any of them.” [i.e. state govs]

On Reddit, Orange County residents are very justifiably angry that local authorities are posting vital evacuation information on X and Instagram…which both require accounts if you want to be able to view videos easily and completely. How many people use neither? This has got to stop.

Yes, the Trump administration made this repulsive move back in 2025, so this isn’t a new development - and they haven’t changed it back. You still can’t find the names of female veterans at Arlington National Cemetery when you search for them:

This is monstrous, evil shit "Cemetery officials confirmed to Task & Purpose that the pages were unpublished” to meet recent orders by President Donald Trump and Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth targeting race and gender-related language and policies in the military."

True to form, Colbert ended his Late Show run with graciousness, joy, and a couple of extremely silly jokes.

The DOJ lawyers on this Broadview Six case here in Chicago need to be held accountable for what sure looks like another case of unethical, if not illegal behavior….

Awesome ceramic bowl, great conjee, and it all helps the Food Closet at UCLA to help students dealing with food insecurity.

“The loss of Black representation in the South cannot be offset with a few more liberal white representatives from Wisconsin.” www.thenation.com/article/poli...

Tennessee "school district" bans Roots. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

this from @davekarpf.bsky.social is the most compelling pithy summation of the era we live in. davekarpf.beehiiv.com/p/a-story-of...

“…the forces that stand today against …political representation for Black people won’t stop there…They seek a one party political system ruled by authoritarians. The political oppression of Black people is not the end. It is the conduit.”

"Segregation now, segregation forever" apparently.
