It’s worth noting that it took me a moment to realize this is an Pnion headline. This timeline is … not good.

Randy Fine is living in another reality. Hopefully the people in his district realize this in November and choose someone who’s not quite so unhinged.

In other news, tech industry shows they have a short memory and don't study history. I mean, I know a lot of these folks were too young to really remember the original dot-bomb, but geez, it wasn't that long ago. Was it?

What a fucking racist embarrassment our government has become.

Disgusting.

My message remains the same a year later. We don’t have kings in America, and I won’t bend the knee to one.

Yet another incentive to disengage from Meta and reason to hate Zuck and his cronies…

Probably my least good Sacramento Kings hot take but at least Vivek isn’t this level of piece of shit

under questioning by Rand Paul, ICE officials confirm that yelling at officers is not assault and recording officers is not a crime

I posted this the next day and, well, yeah. Here we are. Another reason to remove Schumer as Minority Leader.

It doesn’t get any more disgusting than this.

DHS is spending $8 million to pay influencers to pump out pro‑ICE content. So we’re literally footing the bill for our own propaganda. This is what they think they can get away with—using our money to sell us a narrative we never asked for.

The man who told reporters it’s time to move on from the Epstein files won’t shut up about the 2020 election.

Most self-help books are kinda idealistic, and so they can feel shaming when we have the normal, human struggles that are inevitable on growth journeys. #mentalhealth #change #selfhelp #selfcompassion

Living in a way that aligns with your identity and values is important. But if you do it in a way that ignores the realities of the world, it’s not going to go well. There is a workable middle ground. #mentalhealth #identity

Sacramento folks, the fog is *bad* out there today. Be careful.

We’re pretty aware of the importance of human connections for supporting #mentalhealth. What isn’t so clear is how to make and nurture connections in today’s world. What are you finding that works?

No man is free who is not master of himself. — Epictetus #Stoicism #DailyStoicThoughts #Mindfulness

So true … and those effects can echo through families for multiple generations.

Our cars need refueling and our phones need recharging. Humans are no different….

Movie review from Guardian on Melania.

"The beatings will continue until morale improves."

Journaling is a great tool, not just for your mental health, but also for clarifying your values and goals and for developing deeper insight. Also an excuse to spend too much money on notebooks, fountain pens, and ink, but that's another story ...

Sustainability and workability are significantly under-valued. Speed is wildly overrated.

I think this says a lot about the value and importance of community (and psychological safety) for everyone. Creating real, enduring community in 2026 is something a lot of folks are struggling with.

In this world of nearly infinite options and possibilities, I increasingly see my clients struggle with overthinking (and I do, too). Choosing can feel limiting, but not doing so can lead to the experience of feeling like you’re both exhausted and stalled. Anyone relate? #mentalhealth #overthinking

Or, just ban them. (Also, get off my lawn.) Tired of the chaos they cause in our neighborhood every year.

Frankly Aphantasia is just not something I can picture myself having.

Fighting your feelings is a losing battle that we need to stop normalizing. Learning to engage with them with cautious, thoughtful curiosity is hard, but worth the effort.

I continue to see and be distressed by the increasing desire to find a single explanation for ... everything? Sure, there are a lot of cases that are 'either-or', but often it's actually *both-and*, lr at least there are multiple answers. Seek more nuance and complexity. #psychology #mentalhealth

This seems like a bad idea on many levels.

I gifted this article. Please read if you have a few minutes. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/26/u...

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.” That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

I am so tired of product reviewers who just review the product from the perspective of their use case and the hyped features, not bothering to include other features that are there and might be relevant to users who aren’t them.

Something people aren't talking about enough is how often Charlie Kirk invoked the Fifth Amendment when testifying before Congress about the domestic terrorists he provided buses to get to Washington on January 6, 2021.

She is a media slut and a Cheeto suck up

This isn’t whatsboutism. It’s a response to Trump’s predictably reckless comments about the “radical left”. Patrick Crusius killed 23 people in a Walmart. He targeted Latinos because he believed he was carrying out Trump’s wishes. Trump was openly calling for violence and the media yawned.

They want to ensure their future generations of slaves are born, I guess?

The Yankees had a moment of silence for Charlie Kirk? But not for any of the children slain in the school shooting yesterday, or Melissa Hortman, or anyone else who’s died from gun violence, as far as I know. Same for the NFL. Ok, then.

it’s possible to 1) note that the shooting of charlie kirk is the direct result of a culture and politics that he spent every single day of his adult life cultivating, without 2) celebrating the act of violence itself. but some people are going to do 2, and also anyone doing 1 will be accused of 2.

There is, as of right now, no coverage of this protest on the WaPo website or in their @washingtonpost.com feed. So, if you (you reading this) want people to SEE this protest, you must share it.

I recognize that not everyone looks things up for a living, as I do, but it would be nice if people could figure out how to do elementary web searches and lift the requisite fingers to do it.

The @status.news newsletter looks into the current president's "visible bruises" and asks: Why are the country’s biggest newsrooms silent? www.status.news/p/trump-heal... [paywall likely]

Excellent question.
