Since moving to Northern Kentucky last summer, I've had fewer respiratory issues than I did while living in Pittsburgh. Less coughing, less congestion, and generally better feeling.

Hi all, a bunch of creepy Republican donors who have been appointed to make decisions at the public entity Cumberland Area Economic Development Corporation (CAEDC) are rushing through a plan to demolish historic brick buildings at the site of the old Frog Switch Manufacturing in Carlisle.

The main thing motivating the anti-ICE resistance is the feeling that we are, in fact, winning. Every day, more and more people stand up, get trained, print and distribute whistles, learn to ID ICE agents. The only way for the regime to win would have been to do it all at once. Too late now.

When someone says „Scientists do not want you to know“ you can dismiss everything from there on. Scientists want you to know. They are desperate that you know. They can’t shut up about what they found out and want you to know.

Here's my first edit on the March 3rd Lunar Eclipse. 15 moon shots, 1 foreground. Taken over a 3 hourish period.

my aunt & godmother, who passed away in 2024, spent the past decade of her life fundraising on behalf of pro-choice Dem women candidates for local office in her North Carolina town, and every time good progressive electoral shit happens there I always think about the hard work of people like her

AI does other people's work really well! When I look at AI outputs outside my areas of expertise, they all seem right! My work? No, not that. When I look at AI outputs in my areas of expertise, it consistently makes confident mistakes.

It was such a lovely evening for walking my neighborhood collecting signatures for my ballot petition.

Great info and resources in Pittsburgh. staynebby.com

“We’re an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality. And while you’re studying that reality — judiciously, as you will — we’ll act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too." -- A top Bush II aide (said to be Karl Rove) to a reporter, 2004.

Before you have a house the sound of water trickling is soothing. After you have a house it is the scariest fucking noise imaginable. (the water reservoir in the humidifier blooped and I nearly had a stroke)

This Friday! An Evening with Michael Fanone. Do you appreciate the organizing of local events? This is a fundraiser for Indivisible Pittsburgh & Indivisible Regent Square. This is indoors, so you do need a ticket to get a seat. You can choose a ticket that includes a copy of his book!

Dr. Rachel Levine will be speaking at the Pittsburgh event!

Added a small sign to the bridge that was readable for the people driving over: NO WAR. Preview of coming attractions: snapshot from the drone video taken today. Can't wait to see it all! Some excitement when the police stopped to talk to the photographer. @pittsburghoverpass.bsky.social

About every 57k miles driven by Musk’s robotaxis one gets into a wreck. That’s four times the rate of humans.

If you give a shit about: * Books * Art * Fresh water * Food * Breathing an account with over 890,000 followers shilling for Anthropic is a HUGE red flag. This account was sus for a long time, but this is the icing on the fucking cake. Block these absolute lying arseholes now.

City View Church and the non-sectarian Tripoli Community Center do amazing community work. They're in danger of losing their building and could really use some donations, please. www.zeffy.com/en-US/donati...

A tiny species crocus has spread through the flower beds and (pathetic) lawn in my back yard. It blooms very early, and the first bees to arrive are thrilled to find it.

The tiniest election process underway -- electing the new county Democratic party committee members for each small voting precinct. I'm running for re-election this May, so I'm walking my precinct to collect signatures to get on to the ballot. This cat saw to it that I got a signature.

lmao people worrying about an apple watch in a SCIF when these guys are drawing up war plans in claude and placing side bets with online bookies

Maybe it’s because I’m a colonial historian but so many of these white nation states seem to behave exactly like they did in the 19th century: ‘your leaders aren’t right for you,’ ‘we’re only killing you/colonizing you/installing puppet leaders for your own good’

The cool thing is that the US seeking regime change in the middle east is something that has worked out every time with no blowback or unintended consequences ever.

if the media had any integrity — and it doesn’t anymore — they’d be pointing out on a loop that Obama made a deal with Iran, Trump cancelled it because Obama is Black, and then Trump started a war on the pretense there is no deal

They were going to pass rules to phase out gas stoves, until they received 20,000 public comments against the regulations. Except, oops, it turns out the comments were generated by AI.

For too long, students & young consumers have been left to navigate a financial system that often puts profit ahead of people. Restoring the Office for Students & Young Consumers will make sure young borrowers have a real advocate in their corner that will hold predatory lenders accountable. (1/2)

This is extremely a long shot but if there’s any niche community that will have the answer it’s bsky: Does anyone know of an LA-based orthopedic surgeon with experience treating patients with hypermobility?

If people would spread stories like this instead of the insane Trump threats we would all be better off. More prepared as well as less living in despair.

Very libtech specific question here: Has anyone who went from self-hosted EZproxy to OpenAthens set their EZproxy prefix to forward to the OpenAthens prefix and had it work?

Thank you to the Opportunity Fund -- your generous partnership made this year's Summit possible!

You deserve this SO MUCH 🐣 🪶

Happy Friday. OPB has a new documentary series called "The Crackdown." It's a must watch. Episode 1: War Ravaged is here. Check it out www.opb.org/article/2026...

A little clump of snowdrops in bloom. Springity-spring-spring!

This week's "Fridays With(out) Fetterman" rally in front of his Pittsburgh office had people reading statements that Fetterman said when he was a candidate -- promises that he has completely failed to meet during his time in office.

Labour did everything the popularists like Matt Yglesias want. They cracked down on trans people and immigrants. They pushed austerity. They ended up fracturing their entire base and losing this seat to the left for the first time in nearly a 100 years.

Americans please learn from this simple chart & hastily send “America’s Starmers” Jeffries & Schumer to a farm upstate
