Don’t Look Now (1973) with Julie Christie and Donald Sutherland. I watched this maybe 10 years ago, and it was scarier than anything I’d ever seen. Still true.

this is a catastrophe and he will do harm, and only harm, to those living with disabilities

If you're hosting an international sporting event, you should be required to actually host all of the competitors. This isn't hard.

This is a thread that ed policy people should read, and sit with.

Younger generations will never believe we used to be able to drive to Canada or Mexico and just show our driver’s license to get there and back. And yet, despite that holding true for generations, a “flood of immigrants” wasn’t a fear or even a problem until the last 12 years.

There’s an enormous raven in my neighborhood (around a foot tall!), and I’m desperately trying to befriend it.

So we spent billions, destroyed the international order, killed a bunch of people including a school of young girls, caused a massive shock in oil prices, and ended up in a worse place than the deal we had a year ago? Sounds like a predictable outcome from a guy who bankrupted casinos.

The Vegas Golden Knights’ anthem singer, Carnell “Golden Pipes” Johnson is hands down my favorite US anthem singer ever. (I don’t count Whitney in that list, bc no one comes close to Whitney… she was in a class all her own.)

We’ve been watching MCWS today, but holy smokes… what happened at the Rockies game today?!? #tripletacos

Red Vines and popcorn

When you don’t know how to experience the range of human emotions, “AI” interaction seems like the ideal. I’d feel sorry for the techbros, except they’re trying to ruin everyone else’s lives. It must suck to be that miserable.

My healthcare and education shouldn't be limited by how much money I have.

I have so many thoughts… and I might write about them later. For now, I’ll just say how important it is to me that ALL kids get opportunities that many ppl associate with/ G&T educations. Enrichment, learning trips, creative work, etc. — these things are beneficial to ALL kids.

What if sports teams were owned by a collective of fans instead of obscenely rich villains who raise ticket prices that are unobtainable for the average fan? Works for Green Bay… just saying.

It's hard to be excited about the Artemis III mission announcements when the CEO of the company making one of the mission's rockets has spent his week inciting racial violence via his personal social media platform.

Re: last repost… Things I’ve stopped using apps for: -Sharing daily photos - “Checking in” to locations - Event invitations/rsvp - Tracking my daily reading habits (I’ll still share some book recommendations here, but that’s about all) It’s not as much as I’d like, but it’s a start.

Periodic reminder that cottage cheese on a sweet potato is delicious. Dried rosemary and black pepper make it even better.

i for one am shocked to hear the guy responsible for killing people with public health crisises he personally created is currently checked out of public health concerns

Fact, worth quoting

When everything is measured, ranked, and commodified… when the end “product” is valued above all else, we lose the meaning of the process and journey. The process and journey are what matters. Our humanity lives in those spaces.

If you’re in a place to help, many of our neighbors still need donations for ongoing legal fees. Don’t know anyone? Here’s a friend of a friend in Lincoln, NE who could use some help. gofund.me/e009b8c91

This is the article to share. Not that WIRED tripe. Gist: mice injected with long COVID patient antibodies get long COVID. It is an observable biophysical effect.

exquisite thread. absolutely worth the read to the very last update

Let’s talk for a minute about why that WIRED article upset so many people with ME/CFS and/or long COVID. If you were lucky enough to avoid having to know about the PACE study, you should know now. The gist: in the 00s, a badly designed clinical experiment ruined lives. me-pedia.org/wiki/PACE_tr...

"the bill would reduce monthly fruit and vegetable benefits from $52 to $13 for breastfeeding mothers and from $26 to $10 for young children."

Has Katie Stewart’s hit landed yet??!? That was a home run for the highlight reel!

So many people who can reasonably be described as “that little shit” are in charge of so much of society.

Serious question: which companies for household goods and groceries are you NOT boycotting? As a sometimes housebound person, I’m running out of options. 😩

Every time one of these fantastic Kennedy Center performances shows up on my TL, I get goosebumps. There was a time when art was beloved in this nation, by our highest electeds. Art must endure and we have to fight for it.

This is absolutely nuts: hackers are hijacking high-profile Instagram accounts by simply asking Meta's AI chatbot to change the email on the account. Meta's AI does it, hacker gets password reset code, they're in. A staggering security issue www.404media.co/hackers-simp...

Happy Pride!

The techlords have recognized that NO robot can perform the range of manual labor functions as well and as cheaply as humans. So they're now working on creating an underclass of uneducated, unimaginative drones they can hire cheap to perform those tasks, which they pretend LLMs can manage for free.

It’s truly astonishing to see how comprehensively the US government is tearing down every part of the system that has made it up until now a world-leading power in science, research, and technological development. The entire world will suffer from this wanton destruction.
