This squirrel is excited to see you. #SquirrelScrolling 🐿️.

Well now he ruined *that* for the whole User Research profession

"Does he know that's not true" is a brilliantly-framed question that the media could be using over and over and over again

Latest version of Word seems to have fixed this. I turned the feature off already but the icon persisted. Now after this latest update (MacOS) it's gone. #phew

Okay know-your-meme people, what is the story with this squirrel wearing a hat and sharing relatively complex gay-positive takes

#NoKings has clearly broken through

Socratic method but not being an asshole challenge

If you watch Peacemaker...do you recognize any of the music they feature so prominently? It's presented as if it's stuff you'd recognize, but I don't know any of it. Never heard of these bands, never heard these songs. It's very unsettling. But it's so intentional, I just wanna understand.

BIG redistricting news out of Indiana: State Senate Rs say that they do NOT have the votes to redraw maps, and thus will NOT convene in December to do so. Stay vigilant, Indiana Dems. Who knows what they’ll pull. But right now this is looking like a HUGE win. www.wthr.com/article/news...

Heads up all the people who don't want to focus on primary stuff because it's too divisive: we won't get this if we don't remake the party. As we have already seen, the current party won't do anything like this.

I wish her only the worst

LAWSUIT WIN: Trump’s rule preventing DACA recipients, asylum seekers, asylees, refugees, and other immigrants from obtaining commercial driver’s licenses is now HALTED while our lawsuit proceeds. This decision gives 200,000 immigrants a chance to keep working.

📍Senator Fetterman had a VFIB—the leading cause of cardiac arrest—he almost died if not for his implanted defibrillator, which can cost $34,000 to over $51,000. Days ago, he also just voted with GOP to gut health insurance tax credits for millions. Hope he has a change of heart.

Patti Smith 50th anniversary Horses show starting now!

It’s no longer shocking that Trump uses his power to target an outspoken opponent—that’s the hallmark of authoritarianism. What’s remarkable is that he did it less than 24 hours after signing a bill letting 8 GOP senators embezzle $500k–$1M from taxpayers.

OH NO!

Great framework from @leahgreenberg.bsky.social in today's "What's the Plan" - I heard it as a 2x2 assessment of how much of a fighter a Dem is (or not) - on one axis is how progressive they are, but on the other axis is how much they see today's situation as an emergency - super insightful

I don't follow much celeb goss because it mostly involves people I haven't heard of or don't care about, but Ozzy-fam vs. Roger Waters is the sweet spot for me of people saying mean things to people who are assholes. Lots of fun details! (though objectively awful of course)

GOP Tired: sex with 8-year olds GOP Wired: sex with 15-year olds (or something like that, bad taste skeet, I know, but the GOP minions trying to make the pedophile ring okay for reasons like this is in extremely bad taste already)

Okay so there's 1. The 3 emails the NYT just published (bad bad) 2. The shit-ton of emails the R's just released to try and drown us (really f'n bad) 3. The "files" which they are going to vote on next week (we have no idea) #shakesHead

BREAKING: At Pope Leo XIV’s urging, U.S. Catholic bishops just delivered the strongest rebuke of a sitting president in Church history — condemning Trump-Vance raids as “inhumane” and “dehumanizing” in a 216–5 vote.

This isn’t even the stuff they’re trying to actually stop from getting out.

UPDATE — Here are the at least 11 congressional Democrats, 15 Democratic-aligned organizations, and 8 Democratic candidates calling for Chuck Schumer to resign as leader:

I just walked out of federal court where I pleaded NOT GUILTY to the charges against me. I will continue to stand up to authoritarianism and call this out for what it is: a political prosecution.

Adelita Grijalva is FINALLY sworn in and is now officially a member of Congress

BREAKING: Federal judge in Mass. issues a new TRO in the SNAP benefits challenges, this one in the multistate challenge, ordering that — at least — contingency fund payments be released by noon Thursday. She also continues blocking the 11/8 directive that states "undo" full SNAP benefit payments.

It's now called The Sitch Room

So the Epstein news today is *not* the release of the files being held up by the not-swearing-in of Grijalva?

OMG I updated my Microsoft apps and there's an annoying brightly colored icon (on my black and white document, so I can't visually ignore it) for Copilot that can't be dismissed or disabled. Really awful.

Gov. Pritzker: “All I can say is that whether it was the loss in the elections a week ago that's led to Donald Trump deciding to pull CBP out or the fact that Greg Bovino is a snowflake…Whatever it is, the people of Chicago have deserved better than having CBP and Greg Bovino in this city.”

Wow, a Long Island jury awarded $112 Million to 674 immigrants who were unlawfully held by county police so they could be handed over to ICE

What about anyone else? And how do we reply to this?

Our visitor center is designed so we can rotate panels and soldier stories, bringing more of the stories of our fallen service members to our visitors. Thank you for understanding (2/2)
