So endlessly frustrating to listen to podcasts where very smart people discuss the future and they say things about demographics and economics and industrialisation and geopolitics that are all really sensible and far-sighted and then they just DON'T TALK ABOUT CLIMATE CHANGE

Some good news anyway

“Iran massacred thousands of protesters this year. It imprisons and executes political dissidents. It oppresses women, L.G.B.T.Q. people and religious minorities. Its leaders have impoverished their own citizens while corruptly enriching themselves.” www.nytimes.com/2026/02/28/o...

Trump and Khamenei’s War of Choice The U.S.-Iran conflict grew from a high-stakes exchange of miscalculations between two men.

I had a crush on #NeilSedaka and it wasn’t until years later after my teens I learned about the meaning of his last name. May his memory be for a blessing. wapo.st/401YIcg

I've been a big fan, but I read an Atlantic article & then audio proof that she may not be truthful or ethical (upholding free speech). What's your take? She kicked out a journalist she didn't like & lied about it & a defamation suit. Made me regret I donated. www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

Pete Hegseth thinks he can determine what American girls can and cannot do. "Girls allowed for now" in scouting? Are you freaking kidding me? Hegseth is a one-man Taliban. It's time to bring back the phrase "SEXIST PIG" #AmericanTaliban #Scouting wapo.st/4rZKwwZ

There is no person alive today who I admire more than I admire Judge Luttig. I wish everyone would watch this video of his recent remarks accepting honorary NY bar membership. "The danger from within has arrived my friends, and America's time of testing has come." www.youtube.com/watch?v=KFDK...

If you can't afford to keep a lawyer on tap, here's the next best thing! Support the ACLU. I've been giving them $15/month for over 10 yrs. So my > $1000 donation (at this point), is most effective activism I've ever done. They bring the fight! www.nytimes.com/2026/02/27/u...

Could someone please send a gift link to the Globe & Mail’s article “Opinion: What do you do when you’re living next door to a fascist state?” Many thanks!

The richest man owns X. The second and third richest men control Google. The fourth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The fifth richest man owns The Washington Post. And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros. See the problem here?

Happy Thursday! We are almost through the week! This view of the Bay, Sandy Hook (NJ), and the ocean 18 minutes before sunrise turned out to be my favorite of the morning. Tap for full size. I hope you have a great day!

Throwback to that time I was obsessed with marbling things. Doing white stitching on black aida, soaking it in alum then doing a marble on it. Makes a really great effect and I didn't have to colour change once while stitching! #marbling #stitching #crossstitch

One of my local news station highlighted all the guests for the State of the Union EXCEPT FOR the Epstein Survivors. Disappointing and infuriating.

JUST IN: Advisors to Hillary Clinton say the House Oversight Committee’s closed-door deposition has been paused after it was revealed that Lauren Boebert shared an unauthorized photo from the hearing with Benny Johnson, who then posted it on social media, as seen below.

The Kansas driver license thing is just the sublimation of every time I've said that we should be abolishing the gender marker instead of allowing it to be changed or having an "X" gender marker. Like how do you think they had a list of people to mail that notice to ahead of time?

Found this frame for £4 in a charity shop last month, and today I found this embroidered off-cut from a tapestry in a fabric bin for £6 Every day I get closer to turning my home into a wizard’s tower 🔮

There are so many things wrong with tech in cars now. I think this one is the most hateful.

I read about this study in an article from Science Daily but in that study the sound therapy was also coupled with super fast flashing lights. Breakthrough Study Shows Sound Stimulation May Help Clear Alzheimer’s Plaques share.google/FEYsO0gKbiga...

Today, former Sec. of State, Hillary Clinton, will testify before House Oversight as a part of that committee's investigation into Jeffrey Epstein. Bill Clinton testifies tomorrow. Both she & her husband insisted that their testimony be provided in a public hearing, but Rep. James Comer refused.

Long morning walk in sun & had random thought: if choice was isolated to John Tory v Brad Bradford, I'd rather have Tory. At least Tory had some coherence & didn't fill his ambitious sails with whatever culture war thing was blowing at moment (his charter school thing 15 years ago notwithstanding)

30 years. This video should be on every network.

Although I’ve been involved with homelessness policy for decades, I’m NOT an expert at it. Very few city planners are. @nerd4cities.bsky.social admits it’s out of his wheelhouse too, but I appreciate his data-driven approach here. Spoilers: rent rates are key & housing SAVES public money. Comments?

Oh my God. #monstrous

Per WIRED - a White House staffer has been ID’ed as running a big Twitter account that called the Obama apes video a “masterpiece” (and his wife works for Karoline Leavitt) www.thedailybeast.com/white-house-...

I have said this before, but eliminating programs that teach a lot of students but don’t have many majors is like a restaurant not buying flour in its grocery delivery because people aren’t ordering flour on the menu.

Concerns grow as N.S. cuts millions from education in new budget #NovaScotia Tens of millions of dollars are being held back, including funds for universities, scholarships, arts programs and supports for early childhood education. www.ctvnews.ca/atlantic/nov...

CW: transphobia. See, this is why it can be painful to know too much history.🫤 This post implies that what is happening in Kansas is *similar* to what the nazis did. But it's not just similar. It's *identical*. In 1933, nazis revoked trans people's documents. Before 1938. Paragraph 175 and 183.

Many news outlets are reporting that some trans Kansans received letters warning that their licenses were being invalidated overnight. This morning, Evan Urquhart spoke with a trans woman who found out on Bluesky that it would be illegal to drive her car. www.assignedmedia.org/breaking-new...

We haven’t seen this level of covert messaging from citizens since the creation of encrypted Black spirituals by enslaved Americans in the 18th century. Cloaked as a shopping excursion, this video is about the videos we aren’t seeing about the ongoing #ICE activities in MN. bsky.app/profile/luca...

People living with #LongCOVID are twice as likely to develop anxiety and depression compared to those who recovered from a SARS-CoV-2 infection, but six years into the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, many people with Long COVID still aren’t getting the mental health support they need. bit.ly/3MuFtFj

“beginning in May 2020, the USPS employees refused to deliver mail to her & her tenants. They changed the locks on her mailbox. They marked her mail undeliverable & returned it to the sender. They blocked her & her tenants from receiving doctor’s bills, medications, credit card statements, & more.”

The near-total blockade of Cuba is now posing the greatest challenge to the government since the Cuban missile crisis in 1962. Cuba is quickly running out of oil, creating a dire political and economic crisis for the island’s 11 million residents
