lost the plot o n this spin so many times so we'll see how it turns out but here's the obligatory bobbins

I need to get my shit together for the presale next year

todays @white2tea.bsky.social mini is Northern Grown It's kinda funny when I have a specific thought about a tea, like for example "Wow it's surprising that I am enjoying this so much when I don't like smoked teas usually" and then I go to read the description and

Exactly one year ago today:

I told myself my budget was 10% of my surprise refund so i've technically got 80 more dollars to spend..

Every generation needs its Galaxy Quest: a movie that, despite every individual element screaming that it can't be good, is actually good

I am annoyed that I constantly find myself considering sortition seriously

incredible that the lifelong Catholic in this specific situation is The Pope

bad news boys I went from owing 900$ last year to a 2000$ refund thanks to the tips being exempt. They did a single good thing

In all seriousness, Swalwell and Gonzales resigning does signal shame does actually work. For the longest time, Washington has been immune to shame and even the most disgraced scandal-ridden politicians don't leave unless they are made to. Shame does work

Several important nuggets in here: • Swalwell was rebuilding Newsom's inner circle; he was the establishment hope • One lobbyist: "Were we willing to delude ourselves or not ask questions that should have been asked? 1000%" • His campaign started sending cease-and-desists last year

When people are like, "Where is the money for X going to come from?" I'm like, the police budget. The money you are looking for is in the police budget. It's in police contracts (many of which mandate an annual increase--PVD's does) & police pensions, but it's also in things like the supply budget

From new Hungarian Prime Minister Péter Magyar's acceptance speech tonight. This is the absolute BARE MINIMUM platform for any Democrat running for President in 2028.

Orbán's electoral crushing is a far greater achievement than most people outside Hungary realise. He systemically consolidated power for 16 years, fixed the electoral map, abused govt power for political purposes & censored media. The hurdles that Hungarians overcame for this moment were immense.

never take the moon for granted we have no idea how it was formed so we can't say how likely it is for rocky planets like our dumb ass to end up w/ a binary partner like it & for all we know it could be functionally unique in the universe.

something that wrinkles my brain every time I remember it is the fact that total eclipses are only possible on earth because the moon and sun appear to be the same size in our sky, due to the insanely, astronomically unlikely fluke that the moon is 400x smaller than the sun but 400x closer to us.

Multiple staffers resigned from Swalwell's gubernatorial campaign ahead of the SF Chronicle's report out today with a former staffer who says the candidate and member of Congress sexually assaulted her, she told her boyfriend at the time, and got a medical exam: www.politico.com/news/2026/04...

A bright spot in the news. Firmly believe that right-to-repair suits like these are an irreplaceable part of progressive environmental policy worldwide

I cannot overstate how much this process fucking SUCKED and there are SO many more holes on this sweater but it is extremely cool that I spun the orange yarn im using to very visibly mend it god please tell me im cool

The only CEO that ever saw heaven was Bob Moore from Bob's Red Mill and that's because he retired and gave the employees the company but he'd been doing profit sharing since 1990.

our Current Moment is basically “yes its wrong we are doing this, but the world is bad so give us a pass” and it gets replicated in smaller and pettier ways all the way down the hierarchy like, i’ll say it; yes, you do in fact have an obligation to try and treat others better than that?

oohhh my god thank you this is what I'm fucking saying

The backstory here is that the Squamish people of what is now Vancouver were illegally dispossessed of this land a century ago. They sued, got their land back, and are using their sovereignty to ignore local zoning rules and build 6,000 new homes over the objections of nearby wealthy NIMBYs.

god I wish that were me

unparalleled dopamine

Not great the amount of news organizations that appear to do basically no confirmation on their own before sharing out a story based on a tweet from the Nazi site!
