When @unpub.org says you can "Play the games of tomorrow, today," they mean that quite literally. Check out this excerpt from @elizhargrave.bsky.social's design diary for #Sanibel:

the party that wants to require ID to vote abruptly invalidating a thousand people’s IDs overnight seems like a pretty giant flashing red light

Every time I’ve run meta ads for my business it’s been byzantine wackamole to keep genAI features turned off. They’ll just randomly turn some feature on to try to “prove” how good it is. This cautionary story from TikTok is exactly why this is a terrible practice.

Let me tell you a tale of how completely the normies have been mobilized. My 14 year-old niece has done School of Rock for the past 5 years; last summer she was part of their touring band, and the kids loved playing together so much that they decided to keep doing it. (1/?)

In our house we are currently rewatching DS9 with our kids. 12 yo is definitely possibly becoming a Trekkie. In coincidental timing our kids have discovered our multiple DSs and learning words like “cartridge.” Anyway, nailing this parenting thing.

there's honestly nothing more American than protesting a tyrannical government... except perhaps immigrants.

It’s #moneymonday for my small business. Today is tax-prep day. As a single-member llc, technically my company taxes are due April 15th vs the March 16 business tax deadline. Still, my goal is to have all my tax docs to my tax accountant by Valentines so no last-minute scramble in March. 💪

I have to say, these are not the neighbor communities I would have expected…

just building this awful camp system is a crime against humanity imo

Called both my senators again today and every day. No more funding for ICE/DHS. Abolish ICE. Impeach/remove/prosecute the criminal actors daily violating the constitution, from the president on down.

This woman speaks for the majority of Americans. 🙌🙏🫶👇

Here's a regular white guy (literally "Chad") not a protester. because, "It seemed pointless, or just a way for people to expiate their sense of guilt." Chad witnessed something shattering. And, that all changed in a moment. Excellent article!

McCormick in PA has called for an investigation. Perhaps so much ICE and snow this weekend that hell has indeed frozen over and our republican pa senator is going to actually do something senatorial?!? I’m honestly shocked.

Nurses are pissed. This is on the front page of the nursing subreddit, along with many discussions about it on several other posts.

Our country was founded on resistance to a tyrant.

they're executing moms and nurses in the street. they're using preschoolers as bait. they're stealing people's dads and grandmas and children. they're tear gassing babies. they're staking out schools. there is no remedy but abolition. any proposal that doesn't start there is an act of violence.

You have to read this. Firsthand affidavit from one of the women who was there and recording the video. She talks about how Alex Pretti was directing traffic when she arrived. She watched him be killed in front of her. She's afraid to go home, worried she'll be arrested.

A doctor who witnessed the shooting submits a sworn declaration in federal litigation to halt ICE surge in MN: "I did not see him attack the agents or brandish a weapon of any kind." and "The victim had at least three bullet wounds in his back." Read storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
