got a “move to Canada” ad on insta for the first time

Buttons the Lord is pleased with you

Rough vibes on this website today, likely because people feel Hopeless and Helpless Because Can't Stop It and No One Who Is Supposed To Is Trying To So Now We're Fighting Each Other™. I recommend activities such as book, or potentially instrument if you like instrument, or even do talk on phone.

This should exist in every city in the country.

accidentally read Our Wives Under The Sea in just over 24 hours, all at night and I am elmo (complimentary)

Wow!! Thanks to another generous matching donor, we have $2,500 of matching funds available which means every single donation towards our goal is doubled! 🥳 We're at $1,000 of $2,500 to unlock all the matching and hit our goal. Can do it in the first 24 hours of this war? I think we can! 🇻🇪💪

If you're arrested in Illinois protesting the illegal invasion of Venezuela, and your court date is during or after my return from surgery (last week of February), I can potentially represent you pro bono. Email me at [email protected].

There are 770,000 Venezuelan refugees in the US. Let's be sure to protect them too. Here's a list of refugee resettlement orgs by state that you can volunteer with or donate to: rcusa.org/resources/st... Here's a map highlighting resettlement clusters:

🚨 Thread collecting actionable steps to help civilians in Venezuela, Venezuelan refugees fleeing to neighboring countries, and Venezuelan immigrants in the US. 🚨 ✅️ Please post ideas / links, especially to local frontline groups. ❌️ Please avoid non-actions, and be cautious regarding sanctions. 👇

I can’t do much but I can offer you a #caturday post

i'm so tired of politicians' statements that start with "let me be clear:"

My attitude on this is that I'm not calling them because I think I can change their minds. I'm calling them because it is unthinkable to let them do this without hearing how evil and awful they are. My spite powers me. If I can get just 500 people a day to join me, we could fuck up their day.

#ATX Protest Sunday, January 4, 1 pm CST at City Hall. Bring noisemakers.

emailed rep/senators, nothing else to do for tonight. time to drink water and read a bit and try to get some sleep goodnight friends, get rest when you can too

JUST IN—Yván Gil Pinto, Venezuela's Minster of Foreign Affairs, posted an official statement to Telegram. t.me/YvanGilPinto... "The Bolivarian Government calls on all social and political forces in the country to activate mobilization plans and repudiate this imperialist attack." Full translation:

god help me I will live to see hegseth behind bars

well I guess I’m just awake now. fucking hell

hey remember when a bunch of middle-aged drunk korean lawmakers climbed the locked gates to the national assembly to hold an emergency session after the president gave illegal orders to the military, all of which ended with said president being sentenced to prison

Cancel the LA Olympics, scrap the World Cup, the United States cannot be a trusted part of the international community so long as the White House operates this violently and with impunity.

Perhaps not THE highlight of the whole thing for Mr. Mayor, but man, how satisfying when the end of your lease lines up so nicely with a new and much nicer place to live suddenly coming into your possession.

Definitely would suggest everyone who wants to detail their experiences to write them out and email that so they can understand the totality of our experiences because only 60 minutes means 30 public speakers in total which is hardly anything for a city of nearly three million.

Got interviewed by @polygon.com about our upcoming collaboration with the Jim Henson Company alongside Brian Henson and Deborah Garcia :) was fun reflecting on the set so close to release. I’m so excited for the full video to release on the 5th! www.polygon.com/magic-the-ga... #wotcstaff

If you are a Minnesotan, I need you to call or write your state lawmakers today. People are, as of today, not making payroll, declaring bankruptcy, wondering where they or their kids are going to live, losing their jobs. I know the politics are tricky, but this is the wrong approach.

The White House posting like an NFL wide receiver during contentious contract negotiations

"I'm sure there's a lot of people at Meta, including perhaps Alex, who would like me to not tell the world that LLMs basically are a dead end when it comes to superintelligence," he says. "But I'm not gonna change my mind because some dude thinks I'm wrong. I'm not wrong."

This is not a hard message. Localize it. Embrace it. Win.

Me, a historian: "The term 'the sixties' doesn't refer to the calendar specifically—one may posit any number of plausible start dates for the decade, and indeed the one thing we can say with certainty is that 'the sixties' didn't begin on ... " "Well, shit. Never mind."

For the most part I try to make what other folks are doing not my business. Twitter was enabling some pretty horrifying shit for a long time, but putting a "take this child actress's dress off" button on there is a level of "what the fuck are you doing on this site" that is hard to grapple with.

deeply, sincerely, from the bottom of my heart i say fuck the new york times. stop giving them your money. cancel your subscription. drop their crosswords. move on from wordle. trans people have been saying for years this was an organized campaign of bigotry and disinformation. well here it all is

"Guy in charge of the stage at the Sugar Bowl becoming increasingly frustrated" is a Tim Robinson character.

This is the best end of a game I’ve ever seen

I wish ole miss lost terribly but that end is a close second lmao

Mamdani’s inauguration single-handedly proving “the curtains are blue because they’re blue” wrong
