Please consider sharing and donating, as Fobazi’s devoted wife Elena has many financial costs at once and is likely dealing with unimaginable grief.

Btw, my senator @pasenatorsaval.com called constituents tonight to invite them to easily join a town hall with helpful information about heating assistance. Philly might not have perfect political leadership but there are earnest people like Saval breaking through.

Catherine Connolly’s ball skills single handedly make her the coolest politician I have ever seen in my life. The male politicians riding shirtless on horses are twerps.

I did not know Fobazi personally, but her influence in our profession has been wide reaching and her ideas remain incredibly important. Sending condolences to her loved ones. This is a huge loss.

Everyone needs to hear this. Now.

It really feels like any time there is new, alarming information (whether about protesting, COVID, etc) there’s a certain group yelling at everyone to stop talking about it because they believe it stops action. Everything I’ve learned about opsec is more information in my toolkit, not a deterrent.

Hell yeah, Brother Victor-Antoine #soup

I just a QT (QS?) of a post with a screenshot of a twitter QT. Why? Stop it.

Growing up, we had several large refugee families resettle in my small town. The families were large because in addition to their biological children, the parents had become adoptive families for their nieces and nephews or neighbors. Let that sink in. Revisiting trauma on refugees is EVIL.

Not gonna lie, I’ve been worrying about this from the promo videos

This is wonderful news and at the same time, it’s so hard to think of all the other children still at that “center.” And parents. It’s all so fucking wrong.

So as I was saying, we could all do well to watch or rewatch the Zone of Interest www.theguardian.com/film/2026/ja...

Catholics have been emphasizing this for centuries! 😂

One of the funniest people of my lifetime.

This is a very accurate depiction of me at my little job, using the wayback machine.

Michael and Peter’s ability to reference David Brooks in every single episode is why I will never stop listening.

I can’t help but think of all the RTO arseholes who were absolutely desperate to go back to having their spouse be the primary parent. Entire swaths of tech & STEM rely on men being completely detached from their family life. It’s foundational to the industry.

I know our current age is a lot of people yelling at each other, “you need to hear/watch this!” but the Zone of Interest is once in a lifetime stuff that reminds you how art can transform thought. Lately, there’s been a lot of understandable worry about hollow comparisons…

I’m tired today and I thought the person in the photo was riding their shovel like a broom

All dressed in uniforms so fine They drank and killed to pass the time Wearing the shame of all their crimes With measured steps, they walked in line

This. It’s not funny. This isn’t sports. They want to come to Philly to beat up on black and brown people.

this is a fake problem. no one is saying this to regular, offline people who are coming around. they’re saying it to people who are engaged in professional political analysis who committed professional malpractice by scolding people who saw what was coming. no, those people shouldn’t get a break.

Surely they will now stop killing Gazans

This is a really important story: perfect illustration of AI companies reassuring us all that there are safety guardrails in place… And the minute their technology is used as a tool of fascism, their checks and balances suddenly behave erratically. Don’t let this fly under the radar.

Follow the Quakers and show solidarity with Minnesotans: Candles in windows at 7pm, #Philly!

If you watched the latest ep of the Pitt, yes, the Muslim community was the first to reach out to the Jewish community after the synagogue murders. It was not dramatic flair for the show, but real life solidarity in the midst of white supremacist, anti-immigrant hate.

Seven months ago. Just a reminder, because apparently some need it…the police will not defend you against ICE.

TrumpTok officially deleted off my phone. No more disassociating for me!

Show your papers. Kavanaugh stops. Your gender? We decide. ICE doesn't need a warrant. Abortion is our choice not yours. Immigrants don't deserve due process. State universities can't teach Plato. Civil rights protections are racist. But vaccination requirements threaten our freedom.

Pretty worried about people in the southern states. It begs the question: are we at a stage where evacuation similar to those for hurricanes make sense? Just because the danger (TX power grid) is manmade doesn’t make it okay.

Yep, it’s starting

Probably the last person from my hometown to learn that one of the Haider twins, Asad, has passed. Not at all surprised to read the accomplishments in his obituary. A terrible loss. Shuja and Asad were known to be so smart that other students at our school were bewildered.

Working in an L(ibrary)MS is a long series of questions like, “I thought I had those permissions. Where did they poof off to?” I seem to have lost my ability to automate batches entirely. More coffee.

I made this with a pizza stone! Yes, it looks a little crazy.

After losses like last night, I always like to be the troll that tells people they can give up the NFL for good. Hockey exists.

I keep seeing people say ICE is coming to Philly and what a mistake that is, given…*Philadelphians* Listen, if true I really hope our city shows up and believes in solidarity. But this is still the city of Bridesburg and the Soprano cosplayers who very much voted for Trump.

Speaking of PBS, is anyone going to admit that Jeffrey Goldberg has completely ruined Washington Week and it’s time to end the experiment? Not only is he who he is, he doesn’t moderate a discussion. He centers himself, asks 10 minute long questions, favors certain guests. It’s boring.

Now, someone tell me why PBS News Weekend gets canceled but they can produce two new separate shows, Horizons and Compass Points?

Jon has been doing this since he normalized Bill O’Reilly. The hero worship was never deserved.

I just learned about Reflect Orbital.

I’m sure @onthemedia.bsky.social is pretty busy but I’d love to hear more on this in regard to the attacks on universities for “antisemitism.” It’s extremely galling how many people accepted this pre-Trump admin narrative. Will they ever admit they were wrong? www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...
