I want all writers to be into writing as much like themselves as possible. I hate to see someone say writing's so good they wish they'd written it. You couldn't have, you're you, & they're them. That's the spirit of plagiarism behind AI. Believe in your capacity to create beauty unique to you.

This.

This is the most beautiful, elaborate, culturally significant set I’ve ever seen at the Super Bowl. Whoever designed this should be paid a million dollars. #SuperBowl #BadBunny

Never on my life bingo card: watching the #SuperbOwl for the first time since ‘98. Because, #BadBunny #GreenDay. Single mom, teaching her adult daughter the rules of football, not her dad. Blown away I recall *any* of it. As a gamer, she’s digging the strategy. I’m finding this highly amusing. 8-)

I think my daughter, @nadohunterart.bsky.social is rather amazing. She’s experimenting with #youtubeshorts, & this piece posted only a few days ago, is gaining traction. Perhaps something for those seeking new platforms to try out? #artsky #fandom Check out/subscribe/like/share if you feel inclined

"While we were sorry to let go of several seasoned journalists — some of whom, it should be noted, were raking in an unconscionable $30,000 a year — we're excited to see the great local work that will be produced by our unpaid interns and network of Latvian SEO content bloggers."

Somewhere in Hell, Richard Nixon is being forced to watch everything Tr*mp is doing with absolutely no consequences. It's the most devious punishment the Devil could come up with.

Every word of this.

Powerful white men once equated Black people with monkeys to justify their abduction, deportation, enslavement, lynching and segregation. The heinous image that Trump shared is explicit racism. There is no nowhere for his supporters to hide. Supporting him is incompatible with basic human decency.

Finneas is better at political messaging than 99% of the Democratic consultants in DC.

I think it's cool that a Republican president being elected automatically means there is going to be a recession but America keeps electing them specifically because they are perceived as better on the economy.

Child at the podium: “A woo woo woo.” Mamdani: That’s how I felt when we came up with this plan. Together, we will expand the idea of what is possible in our city—and what sounds and noises we can make at a press conference.

Dumb thing engineering founders say: “Everything is an engineering problem.” No, everything is 𝘯𝘰𝘵 an engineering problem, and you know almost nothing about any of it. When you understand that, you can begin to actually become competent at those things.

"What did I mean when I texted him that I 'loved' the jerky made of human flesh that he sent me for Christmas? An inside joke. You wouldn’t get it. You people have no sense of humor."

So disgusting. And every day reveals more and more, worse and worse. Unfathomable levels of depravity.

We are deciding right now whether we want to be a country with ethnic cleansing and concentration camps.

I love that Westminster paid tribute to Catherine O’Hara. God loves a terrier www.nytimes.com/2026/02/03/s...

Buda, Texas — grown man picks fight with the entire 8th grade at a middle school. Loses All your rage won’t save you from the kids, little man “They saw what you did”

man if i got beaten up by a bunch of random emo teens in Buda, Texas I think I'd never leave my house again

Heads are going to explode 💥 Cato Institute just nuked the lie. Immigrants have cut U.S. deficits by $14.5 TRILLION since 1994, slashing the national debt by a third. All that “immigrants are bleeding us dry” noise? Absolute bullshit. 1/3

Clara Luper was a civic leader, schoolteacher, & pioneering leader in the American Civil Rights Movement. She successfully conducted carefully planned nonviolent sit-in in 1958 OKC which gained traction & quickly spread nationwide. Thank you, Queen! #BlackHistoryMonth

From trailblazers like Jackie Robinson and Octavia Butler, to the proud historic community of Altadena, California's 28th District has a rich Black history paved by incredible leaders, past and present, who have broken barriers and changed our nation for the better. Happy Black History Month.

This channel is da bomb! French, multi DJs doing it live, assorted genres, digging what they’re laying down. Finally a win from the YouTube algorithm! Going to be my solid daylong soundtrack(s). No AI, not monetized due to copyright—Patreon, etc. supported. Not been this musically inspired in years!

When I saw Liam at the Dilley Detention Center, something was clearly wrong. He was lethargic, not eating, and depressed. Thankfully, Liam and his dad are back home in Minneapolis with their family. No child should ever endure this. We will not stop until this cruelty ends.

This book is utterly amazing. I usually read nonfiction, but this fell into my hands, “accidentally,”and I’m blown away, and deeply grateful. Opened my mind in wholly new ways. Thank you, @nnedi.bsky.social #booksky

THIS!!!

Long before the term existed, Star Trek's heart was "woke" & even though that word has been hijacked & made a cudgel to insult, to ridicule & - at the toxic extremes of social media - to justify prejudice & racism, Star Trek's heart is strong & still beating for those listening

EFF is closed today as part of the national shutdown in opposition to ICE and CBP and the brutality and terror they and other federal agencies continue to inflict on immigrant communities and any who stand with them. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

The only thing keeping me relatively sane these days. Listening not only to sleep, but playing it constantly throughout the day. Anyone else?

Ex-Trump supporter says she won’t vote Republican again: “He got stupid… it’s all about him. He thinks he’s God and he’s gonna take over the world.”

We’re doing this thing. A major grassroots/small town education project built with a ton of love and passion for our community. #smallcon #minicon #fandom #cosplay #gaming #indigenousart #community #taos #newmexico

Have you ever held a funeral for your business, to honor what came before, yet create a rich ground of being for a renewed way of doing business in a chaotic & shifting landscape? We’re “crazy” enough to give it a whirl! Part 2/4. #cooperatives #workerowned #collaborative #relationalnottransactional

I wrote about my childhood friend Alexi Pretti. Please read it and share it and remember him as a human being. @theverge.com

A few years ago, I fell down a research rabbit hole regarding Wetiko. It symbolizes much of what I saw as wrongheadedness around culture. It started with a reference in a book that became a central pillar for the idea of Art is War. thehonestsorcerer.substack.com/p/meet-the-m...

If this doesn’t tug at your heart, make you well up with sadness, you are not human.

Welcome to America, where Republicans only care about injustice if they see themselves in the victims.

Apparently our electricity bills are going through the roof and this is partly related to data centers that hog huge amounts of electricity to generate information. I, for one, feel hopping mad about this. The companies that are using the data centers should bear the cost. time.com/7355839/why-...

Wow! Thanks to everyone who pitched in Alex Pretti’s GoFundMe it has surpassed $1.3 million. Huge thanks to Keith Edwards for organizing.

IYKYK!

Rest in Peace Alex Jeffrey Pretti🙏🏾 The VA ICU Nurses send him off right 💔

Walz: "To Americans who are watching this, I've got a question for you: What side do you want to be on? The side of an all powerful federal govt that can kill, injury, menace, & kidnap its citizens off the streets? Or on the side of a nurse at the VA hospital who died bearing witness to such govt?"

Please share. 💔

“Freedom is not free. We have to work at it. Nurture it. Protect it. Even sacrifice for it.”

Utterly reprehensible and repulsive. Spread this far and wide.

I think about this Twilight Zone episode a LOT ("He's Alive" s4 ep4), today even more so. What is absolutely astounding? I just looked it up and it aired EXACTLY 63 years ago today. Rod Serling, as per usual, knew where we were headed, and where we have always been/have had the ability to be.
