Now.

Do you all get like dozens and dozens of "What's the Plan with Leah and Ezra" calendar confirmation emails? I'm getting at least two a day for the past 10 days...

Scolding people not to say 🌮 in this moment because it's actually harmful to say 🌮 in this moment is certainly the most bluesky aspect of this fucking moment.

The correct response to this missive is Two Weeks to Impeach & Remove. Anything else is aiding and abetting these crimes.

all of America's bravest elected Democrats jumping into action to post vaguely on social media about how somebody else should do something

By my count, there are now over 50 House Democrats, along with two Senate Democrats, who have called for Trump to be impeached or removed via the 25th Amendment for his post on Iran. More here: www.axios.com/2026/04/07/t...

Impeach this Racist thug of a President. Today. Now.

Wireless Festival has been cancelled after the British Government banned Kanye West from entering the United Kingdom.

The UK Home Office has banned Kanye “Hitler” West from coming to the UK to perform at the Wireless Festival. And Wireless has now been cancelled.

And yes, it’s going to take me ~3 days to tag/code twelve 40min-1h interviews in total, but that’s an investment that will the make sensemaking & reporting *a breeze*. And I can fully trust it & I’ll have excellent immersion and could soon talk about this round in my sleep. Plus it’s more *fun*

It *did* get the right participant number at least so it gave me some indication of where to look, but I’m still very much at a loss for people who trust these tools for most of analysis. Once I tag everything, I’ll have a much more reliable quote retrieval system, aligned to my framework.

I’m using Dovetail for my coding (research coding, not the other type) and while the auto transcripts seem mostly solid, I thought I’d play around with its fancy AI ‘chat with data’ feature just to see First question, 2 findings/ mentions of my keyword were mislinked to the wrong transcript files

Well, it's back to a subway map this year and it's overwhelmingly unusable in either the graphic form of the spreadsheet form. I just spent 10 very very frustrating minutes trying to find "the list of usability testing tools" for 2026, and camp up empty.

BREAKING: Another person has died in ICE custody, per required notification to Congress, marking 15 deaths in detention this year and 45+ since Trump took office again.

over at the newsletter I wrote about how Tim Cook is an embarrassing coward

"Trying to 'engage' with fascism is like trying to have an intimate emotional relationship with a running chainsaw. The very act of framing fascism as a reasonable partner for dialogue is an act of propaganda that validates and normalizes fascism." Good read on the utter failure of corporate media:

Hopefully this will blow up into a much bigger story. This needs to be fully investigated by the press, by congress, and all results published. Prosecutions must take place and people need to be fired. And policies changed.

Then Trump can shift the focus from a lost war abroad to a crisis at home, and try to shift the armed forces to US cities. (5/17)

So thinking one step ahead. The purpose of the new war crimes is likely to induce Iran to carry out a terrorist attack inside the United States. (4/17)

So whatever they did to Instagram recently, my feed is almost entirely multiple posts from high-volume accounts (bands, restaurants) that I do not follow. Hooray, the algorithm finds stuff I will like (Sleater-Kinney at No Kings, sure) but also irrelevant stuff (new bakery in Philly, so what) ->>

Leaving out key parts of a direct quote from the president is lying.

the irony here of course is that supreme bogarted the red boxed futura bold oblique from barbara kruger

Trump wants half a billion to renovate the White House while you struggle to afford your rent and mortgage. For that money, we could have thousands of new affordable homes and new affordable childcare centers near them. He cares only about himself.

Thank you for making No Kings 3 the biggest day of mass protest that America has ever seen. #NoKings

Canadian woman held with daughter by ICE is released after nearly three weeks of detention

“They were going to come. It was going to be a big thing. We were going to go to the beach right after. All those plans had to go out the window because they said ICE would be here."

I really hate the bias (cognitive or otherwise) that emerges when the president hurts farmers or today veterans and someone smugly posts a link showing how that group overall supported him. It’s not the leopards-eat-my-face gotcha people act like it is, conflates group and individual and is cruel

Donated! thanks to the people who shared this so I could see it

I missed this one!

Follow me on Farbloojie!

I missed this news, it's being framed as the House GOP caved and implied they will take up the bill to fund DHS except for CBP and ICE, but the details to me seem scant. Anyone got more info. When is the house back? Has Johnson made it clear what he will call a vote for?

I'm waving but it's kinda hard to see. Still, grateful

love to see a text from James Carville that begins "All hope is lost" GFY!

In today's LinkedIn feed, a long Christ is King post about His love or something that prompted me to simply remove that connection. But also in the someone-you-know-commented-on-this-so-we'll-show-it-to-you was a post in a Home Depot alumni group about someone navigating a specific form. SO REELVANT

Trump's new budget is out. To pay for his endless wars, he wants the biggest increase to military spending in 70 years. How does he pay for it? Cuts to "education, health, housing and more." Hell no.

Starfleet Academy is a tough watch. On 3 and it’s not getting better.
