This was Wes Anderson *as hell.*

Muppet Christmas Carol (not even joking) Pride and Prejudice (1995) Persepolis Arrival All Creatures Great and Small (2020-) BBC Sherlock Magpie Murders

The CBC made this clever & cute video that uses kids to explain the rules of curling:

I’ve literally been saying this since I was a teenager:

My last two brain cells processing what just happened.... #figureskating #milanocortina2026

Men's Figure Skating finals and so many falls. It's so disheartening after people have worked so hard. We've basically gasped with every performance.

nobody posted the clip anywhere so i went and dug the whole episode up

Wearables can't detect your sleep cycles. Only way to accurately detect sleep cycles is by wearing a bunch of sensors on your head to measure brain waves. Wearables use algos to deduce that you are sleeping. It's Silicon Valley woo.

You can’t offload emotional labor. Believe me, I’ve tried

Reminding everyone that colon cancer screening should begin at age 45 UNLESS a first degree relative (parent or sibling) was diagnosed with colon cancer before the age of 55. Then screening begins 10 YEARS before that person was diagnosed

Professional translators cannot be replaced by AI. Your attempt to translate a menu, sure, but actual translation is an art, translating things not just across languages but cultures and idioms. Only monolingual dickburgers could think it's all the same.

Yesterday I observed a second grade classroom as part of some consulting work I'm doing. I was really reminded of how incredible it is to watch teachers' brains process about eleventy billion different inputs at the same time. It's the same feeling you get watching the Olympics - master of the craft

the fact that he shortens it to STP suggests this man is an AUTHORITY and I absolutely defer to him on the subject of sticky toffee puddings

i am increasingly bothered by terms like "showdown" or "face-off" or "clash" when used to describe corrupt and fascist power coming up against resistance because there's an implied symmetry that does not exist.

What an honour to speak at an event for the Earth Rover Program last week alongside some incredible people, almost none of whom seem to be on BlueSky except for @georgemonbiot.bsky.social I spoke on soil health in ancient Mesopotamia, and here are some snippets of what I learned along the way

I refuse to believe that white supremacy is that strong. I refuse. I refuse. I REFUSE.

So I think everyone knows what Chuck E. Cheese is but for non-parents who don't know what LifeTouch is, it's the company that for decades has had a near-monopoly on school pictures.

When a sitting representative refers to the Super Bowl halftime show as “pornography,” people should use that to reflect on how they and other representatives are simultaneously working to ban, censor, and restrict “pornography” and what that actually means

Holy smokes! And eyewitness account of the murder of President Lincoln! Writer Doesn’t yet realize it’s John Wilkes Booth as he wrote his sister the night it happened! (As a JWB tour guide for Green Mount Cemetery, I’m fascinated!) #jwb #lincoln #antiquesroadshow @assassinationtours.bsky.social

You’ve seen the halftime show … now read my friend Petra’s new book from @dukepress.bsky.social about how Bad Bunny became the global voice of Puerto Rican resistance! 👏🏽👏🏽 www.dukeupress.edu/p-fkn-r

masking is not an extreme measure; it’s like, level zero of measures. it’s the easiest possible option

Ok, you can stop texting me, I saw the Ring ad. Troubling things about it 🧵: -The long awaited (much warned about) intro of “AI” recognition. It starts w/ searching for a “brown dog” but means the tech is there for lisence plate reading, face recognition, searching for suspects by description, etc

🎵 If they ask you to pay money it's a scam 👏👏 🎵 If they ask you to pay money it's a scam 👏👏 🎵 that is not your favorite author or a stunning book club offer 🎵 They are asking you for money=it's a scam 👏👏

Macbeth: SHIT

Ocasio gang rise up 🙌🏽🇵🇷

what a shot

OK "god bless america" and then naming every country in the americas from south to north is absolute king shit

i've officially personally migrated 92 people from the bluesky servers to the blacksky PDS and i'm hoping that number becomes 100 before the end of the black history month 2026 🥰

No Kings includes Draft Kings

Because cute.

both solid competitors but after "Someone accustomed to burlap is different from someone who wears silk" you have to give this round to Blazer Unc

Without naming your job, tell me something you say over and over again at work. "Join me at the carpet."

AI, TPT, corporate intervention programs, kitchen-sink-scripted curriculums, and state-approved reading lists are trying to "teacher-proof" education to protect an ugly status quo. Designing learning with love, intention, strategy and equity is one of our most powerful forms of resistance.

Just because good news is worth celebrating: There is now a Prep medication that is an *every six month* injection. HIV has, effectively, a vaccination.

me, librarian: I think information should be organized and structured logically so that searches are high in precision and recall tech industry, 2000: nope, keyword searching and opaque relevance rankings are what you’ll get … tech industry, 2026: now you’ll just get fake hallucinatory text

I just want to hammer into people's heads that the reason we have so much illegal immigration is because we don't offer viable ways for people to immigrate legally for the needs of our economy.

welp, this destroyed me first thing upon waking up

The real beauty of that is writing all that information down on the card and strategically making it fit and understandable probably helped you encode the info and retrieve it

Friends! Tuesday, Feb. 10th, at 6:00 pm EST, @resistanceschool.bsky.social will host our very first virtual public salon! We will discuss the killings of Renee Good, Alex Pretti, and why the system erases white martyrs in the fight for civil rights. Register here: buy.stripe.com/28EfZi7VN6RA...

One of my favorite experiences at a museum was going to the Portrait Gallery in Edinburgh and following their self-guided tour of people with disabilities. It was like the gallery came alive. There are so many stories we just don't know.

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

"Sure, ICE is bad, but we need to deport illegal immigrants" No you don't. If immigration enforcement leads to concentration camps and roving death squads, maybe it's time to just get rid of the concept of illegal immigration entirely. You've tried it, it's a bad idea in practice, so bin it.

I do not think the most significant cultural shifts will come from a World War, Class War, Race War, or whatever other battle people weirdly fantasize about. I think it’ll be an integration of the idea that children are people and not the property of their parents.

As someone who grew up in white US evangelical culture, this is a direct result of the bad theology that you can think your way to salvation. You can think things, say words, but have zero actions matching that and still be "saved" according to white US evangelicals. It's hollow and frankly evil.

Unpopular opinions: You can’t be a good teacher if you’re not a good person. You can’t be a good boss if you’re not a good person. I said what I said.

This is only related in a sideways manner, but: the story of any small slice of humanity is the story of humanity, just boiled down and distilled. So: In 2020, we had a lot of conversations about harassment at SF/F conventions, and Isaac Asimov came up several times.

"We would have lost so much if we'd driven him away" is the justification. But we lost all those girls. We lost the women they would have become. We lost the work they would have done. Why was his future work so much more valuable than theirs?

as i keep saying, the things to do to secure elections are to volunteer to work the polls or to serve as an observer, & to pressure your *state representatives* to take steps to further secure voting locations and ballots. you should also learn about how election administration works in your area.
