Can I recommend this recent podcast interview, bsky.app/profile/dexd... , with @merici.bsky.social ? She led the Direct File team and it’s fascinating to hear the details behind the project, highly recommend.

heartwarming video of astronaut Christina Koch greeting her dog for the first time after returning from space. the pup can be seen snarling, back arched, before scampering to its word buttons and pressing "IMPOSTOR" repeatedly, then "FALSE. SKIN. FALSE. SKIN." several times

Bluesky Says They Like Drinking And Sex. But They Ran Eric Swalwell Out of Office for Drinking and Sex. My Anger At This Hypocrisy Is Exactly Why I Can Only Write For The Atlantic.

A new report from the University of California shows that the state's decision to raise the minimum wage for fast food workers to $20/hr didn’t hurt jobs, or raise prices much. Data from over 2,000 restaurants shows that the $20/hr minimum wage didn’t reduce employment. /1

“Your Honor, may I confer with my client for a moment?” “Certainly, counsel.” [brief scuffle, sharp crunching noice] “Thank you Your Honor.”

I think it's instructive to ask why one can't say "I am middle-class, can mostly afford things, have seen my financial circumstances and personal consumption improve somewhat over the last five years, and many of my friends are similarly positioned": it's because the internet will yell at you

katv.com/news/local/p... Headbutted a defendant. Clients, am I right @kenwhite.bsky.social

It’s profoundly ignorant to suggest that the Pope should be fighting crime on behalf of the Catholic Church. Anyone who was remotely familiar with Roman Catholicism would know that that’s what Daredevil is for

"it's supposed to be rehabilitative" aside, excommunication requires particular fairly high bar offenses, like murdering a pope, and when did Vance do that

Artemis II was overshadowed by other bad things in the news but what it accomplished was frankly amazing. We are capable of incredible and unprecedented things. I’m in awe at how far we safely sent humans into space.

well yeah that's why they made that pact with Satan?

Do not give Molly Shah money. Do not give money to anyone Molly Shah suggests you give money to. Do not give any money to accounts "verified by Molly Shah" In fact if you see Molly Shah, hide your wallet.

Did I ever tell you about the reason I can never go to the West Los Angeles Veterans Affairs Medical Center again? /1

Luckily not everyone has to flee. Here's a story of someone who is currently at NASA and helped this mission: www.nasa.gov/image-articl...

It’s time once again for “you do not need to share the horrors in order to communicate that they are horrible. You do not need to imbibe the horrors to bear witness to them. Be kind to yourself and others right now.”

Okay this isn’t really happening anymore so I can tell you how l had “internal ICE sources”: the 3000 very stir-crazy ICE agents were all going wild on Minneapolis Tinder. Local girls would match with them and string them along for intel. They loved to brag about what they were doing all day

psa you don't have to click play on bad things

how do you take 22 minutes to say "cheesesteaks and pussy"

I mean it's New York City. I assumed you all just dragged the mattress to a street corner and set it on fire.

alright, rabbi Eliezer, fair enough. The vote is five to *two*

I don’t understand why Pokemon Legends Arceus doesn’t allow you to take up brigandry when cast out into the woods to die. It’s not like my level 71 Lucario can’t kill everyone in this podunk village if they try to stop me.

There was once an enslaved man who stole a Confederate ship and sailed his a bunch of families to Union controlled waters & got everyone free. Then he fought as a soldier in the Union Army. Then he was elected to US House of Representatives. Robert Smalls was born 187 years ago today

idea for a podcast called "Source: Dude Trust Me" where the hosts take turns recounting the facts described in a nonfiction book they read at least 12 calendar months ago

what I learned from my first second looking at this picture is that I have played too much Terra Invicta

Made the tough decisions to restore the Star Road and defeat Smithy then retired to make mediocre cheese steaks

Isaac Chotiner: You say the two cats who live in your house are "Jerks" and you don't care for them Me: Absolutely. They are the burdens of my life Chotiner: It seems you spent an hour searching for special food for them and paid more for it than you do even for your own food. Me: That's--Hold on,

Just so you understand, this is as if you prepared for argument in front of a panel that included Cookie Monster, and Cookie Monster asked you a question about cookies, and you had not thought about cookies in advance.

So there is an official French ministry of defense documentary about their nuclear testing program and it has footage to illustrate the work the French did to set up a nuclear testing "city" in the Sahara which amusingly (?) devotes quite a few shots specifically showing how they made bread there.

Come ON people! “Wolf takes bite out of Hamburger” was RIGHT THERE

Sandra Wong, the great granddaughter of Wong Kim Ark, is preparing to march at the #NoKings Rally in San Francisco. Today is the 128th Anniversary of the SCOTUS decision affirming birthright citizenship.

in fairness there's a lot of underutilized space under Nebraska

Yeah, this one really squares my boobs as a sociologist. Arlie Russell Hochschild made one of the most important contributions to the sociology of labour ever, updating the Marxist concept of alienation for the late 20th century and it got sludged into "I don't want to call my mom."

In honor of Mr. Rogers’ birthday, here’s your regularly scheduled reminder that the quote of his you keep sharing, that in times of crisis we should look for the helpers, was for his audience of children. We’re adults now. We’re supposed to *be* the helpers.

NEW from me: In a ruling from the bench this morning, a federal judge granted Minneapolis clergy access to immigrants detained by DHS in a federal facility as the case proceeds, allowing the faith leaders to provide pastoral care after denying them for months religionnews.com/2026/03/20/f...

my hot take is that its fine if movies are this horny so long as we add the proviso that the monster the hero sleeps with actually be a monster instead of just a human with some extraneous monstrous characteristics.

Now that everyone’s paying attention to global energy markets and effects of faraway events on prices and decision-making, is it a good time to talk about the indirect land use effects of dedicating cropland to biofuel production or nah?

Her (dumb tree hugging freak nobody likes, probably a communist): and from the increased calories per acre, it becomes possible to implement socioeconomic reforms which Me (a magnificent war goddess feared and respected): and that’s just lesser magic weapon; greater magic weapon is *real* sparkly

I’d get all the good court mage jobs too. Some bitch ass druid competing for the position would drone about crop yields to some inbred prince whose eyes are glazing over. Then I would pull out Ol’ Sparkly and his eyes would light up at my sword witchery.

Spellblades are so dumb and I love them so much. If I had the power to rewrite reality and bend nature to my will, I’d make my sword glow sparkly blue too.

I regularly see people wondering how it's possible that there are so many musicians and writers and film makers and artists from a tiny nation like Iceland. And the answer is really simple: State funding for art education and artists. I literally get a salary from the government to write books.

People tell me I’m a great mom
