Wandered into a random bar here in Bremen four hours ago. It had a "NO FASCISTS. EVERYONE ELSE WELCOME" sign outside. Spent the time since then sat at the bar in the antifash, cash-only German punk boozer drinking and reading scifi. And that, my friends, is all i have ever wanted out of life.

Hey folks: Last night on "A Few Thoughts For Those Who Can't Sleep," I started out talking about what Evacuation Day has to say today (A LOT) & ended up talking about the need to live up to the moment today. For the full episode: www.youtube.com/watch?v=xr0K... www.youtube.com/watch?v=D6S6...

Our archivist found this real, paid-for, pretty rad Mr. Beef ad in the April 2004 edition of The Onion.

This is the most gloriously nerdy thing I've heard in a long time: My daughter's chem class is celebrating guaca-mole day today, because guaca-mole is made with avogadros. #iykyk

🚨NEW: When ICE raided a Californian farm yesterday, they snatched & disappeared a disabled US veteran who was in his car. They smashed his window, peppered sprayed him & dragged him to the floor. Listen to his wife & sister here, distraught. No-one will tell them where he is. (🎥 ABC 7 News)

Latest NASA global temperature data. Earth has never been hotter since Homo sapiens (we) discovered agriculture in the early Holocene. Likely even since the Eemian interglacial 120.000 years ago. Fossil coal, oil and gas emissions caused it. We need to stop making it worse. We can if we want to.

Can I just- It is absolutely poisonous that the right wing continues to make faithfully doing your job a risk to your life. I felt it as a library worker, every teacher I know feels it, doctors, journalists, now the damn weather reporters who are mostly known for keeping people safe and dad jokes.
