Very cool that my power bill has increased by 50% to pay for the grotesque consumption from data centers using technology that stole the work of millions of people, including myself, to put millions of people out of work If this happened in a cyberpunk story I'd be like "Okay, dial it down a notch"

What's being done to trans people, both in the US and here, is a practice run for every other minority group. That includes 'all women', by the way. Trans rights are human rights.

The requests we get for utility debt support are sky high. People on fixed incomes cannot afford the hikes in utility bills. Did you know if you have a utility shutoff you can be considered out of compliance with your lease & be evicted?

With each passing day I am newly infuriated that national media (and many politicians) bought the Trump regime's lies about a draw down in Minnesota

The girl, unlike the house, is herself a haunted building.

A potential editing project may have cropped up. But I think it needs an exorcism more than a structural editor. >blink<

So the pointy child (cat) necessitates me to learn to love darning cashmere sweaters. The sweaters were gifts, and the cat apparently loves hoe soft they are. Hoping i have appropriate yarn for darning.

… agentic llms doing *payroll*?? (web radio/podcast commercial) Oh, lord, document your hours down to the minute and keep your pay stubs. This will end with wage theft and scams, and that may be the intent — plausible deniability.

Hi @jeffsharlet.bsky.social We’ve created a searchable 50-state directory of 2,200+ *local* news outlets. Subscribing to local supports newsrooms and is a pro-community and pro-democracy action. www.mediaanddemocracyproject.org/journalism-d...

Georgia was skating to MORTAL KOMBAT at the Olympics exhibition gala

NBC: Ya know, just show the skating finale w/o all the coach interviews about the big hockey that happened in 2010 and the match tomorrow. I was alive then. Hoping for finale b4 you lose signal again.

All right, I know someone reading this wants a delicate horseshoe crab pendant. www.etsy.com/listing/6549...

So NJ lawmakers wrote a bill to rein in ICE. And this is what they called it. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/21/n...

We should do everything we can to help Democratic politicians leave Twitter behind. Help the AG out!

Greetings from w/in 5 miles of an NBC station whose signal keeps dying. Were there ads in that time? We’ll never know. But advertisers should worry about loss of views.

Another reason you should transfer all money from PayPal to your bank account every single day. Never leave more money in PayPal than you can afford to lose.

How doth it feele To be an experte yn a dying fielde? And how knoweste thou That it ys ovir whan you kan not let go? Kan not let go, kan not stop, or unrhyme Love ys learned ovir tyme Til thou art an expert yn a dying fielde. (the beths)

First of all who knows what took place and who bit what. But if this convo could in any way lead to my being disciplined or affect my personal working conditions, I request my steward or union officer (Jean) be present at the meeting. Without representation, I choose not to answer questions tbh

It's super sad when the child of an anti-vaxxer dies. You know what's even more SHAMEFUL? A child who had no choice but to remain unvaccinated dying due to the selfishness of an anti-vaxxer. Keep the anti-vaxxers marginalized and scorned.

swordfighting tactics, germany, 16th century

This is the most delicious romp, and you simply must take a few hours to enjoy it:

And KEEP YOUR KIDS AWAY from any friend or family that's trying to tell you this isn't a big deal and the victims are responsible for their victimization.

The house stands near an abandoned monastery. It breeds the obsessions of its owners. It is preternaturally observant.

I hope people understand that this is a major success for those who would attack democracy and media. I realize that the CPB was quite technical. But what we are looking at here is the decimation of a gigantic infrastructure for distribution and transmission of journalism and information.

She flees, pursued by eternity.

I feel like if David Letterman were still doing a nightly show, he’d spend a not small portion of tonight’s monologue and desk bits repeating the word “monobob.” “Paul, you hear about the monobob results over there in Cortina? Big day for monobob,”

So when thousands of women (and children) were being duplicated--including in non-consensual AI porn--it was no big deal. But it took "only a 15-sec clip" of these two famous white men to draw outrage and fear. Gotcha. Cool cool.

Well now, would you look at that? A massive study of NEARLY 300,000 people in the United States found that receiving an updated 2024-2025 mRNA COVID-19 vaccine REDUCED people’s risk of SEVERE disease AND death in ALL age groups, REGARDLESS of immunity from prior infection or vaccination.

Former EPA regulator: "The U.S. no longer has emission standards of any meaning...Nothing. Zero. Not many countries have zero." Our only hope in this country to overcome Trump's wrecking is to encourage states to maintain clean air standards and push manufacturers to continue to build clean cars

If I get some work related garbage out of the way, I can “play” with the sewing machine. I know it’s not current events, and there are important things I should focus on.

Gang. GANG. LLM DETECTORS ARE ALSO LLMs AND PRONE TO THE EXACT SAME ERRORS. STOP USING THEM.

Sunday’s cat-scapade: getting a piece of salmon out of the kitchen trash and leaving it in his cat bed. If it had been the older cat, there would have been no evidence.

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

It's easy to be concerned about vaccines when you stop being concerned about viruses. You can only stop being concerned about viruses in a world with vaccines.

Measles is one of those nightmare diseases that, if it hadn't been killing people for hundreds of years, people would ABSOLUTELY be pushing conspiracy theories about right now. It's too nasty in too many different directions to seem natural. But oh, boy, it sure is.

ReGARding Minnesota and native fishes, here’s the latest in the Mankato Free Press today! bsky.app/profile/solo...

I’m trying to make a new #linocut print every month in 2026. (OK, it’s true that I’m on the first one and it’s already mid-February, but nevermind.) Here’s my progress this weekend. I’m using one piece of lino to print all the colours, one after the other. This is called the ‘reduction’ method.

Crime is her favorite thing - crime, and anything I'm eating. So tonight, for a V-day treat for me, I made myself a steak dinner. Medium top sirloin in a mushroom and red wine pan sauce, tangy mashed potatoes, roasted broccoli. She watched me eat it. Plotting. But she doesn't know I can plot too.

In the reading material in the schoolroom, she finds a mouldy manuscript. It is volume two of a collection of essays about poisons and their antidotes.

Had a couple of orders in today, still a ways to go to make rent. Crossing my fingers for more orders overnight - thank you to everyone sharing, you're awesome. oishiny.etsy.com Free international shipping included. #Helpsky #💕💸

FURTHER: “degenerate art” was targeted for destruction. Some of these pieces, we only have black and white photos memorializing. Sometimes less. I’m an author and a librarian to be. Book bans aren’t a badge of honor. They’re violence. Reinforcing the category isn’t bold or helpful.

Whenever people gush over AI I'm going to think about Sir Arthur Conan Doyle being utterly convinced that he'd discovered real scientific evidence of real fairies because he saw these pictures

Thank you everyone who's been sharing my work - I'm part way towards getting rent sorted. Got a few more days, and plenty more gorgeous pendants looking for homes: oishiny.etsy.com #Handmade #ShopSmall #Etsy

Let’s be honest if there is a wildly successful German/Austrian/European company that existed before WWII, survived it, and came out better in the other side you can take a safe bet that there was some Nazi shit going on with them.
