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.

OH. MY. GAWD.

The USPS IS NOT LOSING MONEY. THE USPS IS SPENDING TAX DOLLARS ALLOCATED TO IT BY THE BUDGET. THE USPS SHOULD NOT BE REQUIRED TO ZERO OUT ITS BALANCE SHEET IT IS NOT A BUSINESS IT DOES NOT HAVE SHAREHOLDERS. IF THE USPS IS OUTSPENDING ITS BUDGET IT SHOULD BE ALLOCATED MORE BUDGET.

You could say that Rock n Roll was born 111 years ago today in Arkansas, but probably not where you'd think. Before there was a Chuck Berry or Little Richard, there was those who wanted to be like her. Rosetta Nubin better known as Sister Rosetta Tharpe, the godmother of Rock was born on this day

"NPR found five other people in Illinois, Oregon and Minnesota who...said they were arrested, seemingly without provocation, while protesting ICE and then had officers take or try to take what appeared to be a sample of their DNA." www.npr.org/2026/03/18/n...

The Pentagon’s own publication, Stars and Stripes, was disinvited from Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s latest Iran war press conference - as he continues to clamp down on press coverage.... www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

People keep saying “oh so you want OPEN BORDERS” as some kind of gotcha and like. Yeah. When I was a kid you could just drive into Canada. On accident, even. It was great, and I think we should do that instead of kidnapping children. Normalize being normal instead of being kidnapping weirdos

I'm very lucky that @minimus.io considers the work I do for Kubernetes to be part of my job. That isn't true for most maintainers. Projects are failing or suffering attacks because of a lack of contributors from companies built on top of them, and that's *everyone's* problem. dev.to/katcosgrove/...

Last month the NYT said AOC "struggled" to give an answer on Taiwan and quoted her with "uhs" and "ums" to make her look stupid Yesterday talking about Hormuz Trump claimed he's heard from "numerous countries" and said "uh" four times. The NYT deleted the "uhs" and paraphrased him to look smarter:

On 16th March, 1968 Warrant Officer Hugh Thompson Jnr was flying helicopter recon for a US attack on My Lai, an alleged Viet Cong-controlled village in Vietnam. But as the attack developed below, Thompson realised he was witnessing something something else: A massacre. He decided to act. 1/28

Not to toot our own horn, but... In the past year, we've shared profits with 4,000+ indie bookshops across the globe, became a Certified B Corp, raised $130k in support of public libraries, organized 500+ Banned Books Week Read-Ins, helped fundraise for bookish orgs, and added a corgi app icon.

yeah. MrNA is the real "wow, holy shit" technology moment of 21st century and we just took ourselves out of the game

“The way I live my life may cause reputational damage if people find out” seems like a weak argument to me.

Thinking about the people & lawyers that dismissed the alarm about Antifa being designated as a domestic terrorist group. The government just used “material support” for “antifa materials” & “domestic terrorism” to convict 9 people in Prairieland.

If only a college professor could condescendingly yell at her that AI is useful, I bet she’d feel so much better about all this

About two weeks ago, an 11th grader was detained by ICE while on the way to his soccer game. Imani Williams is following the story. READ MORE: https://tinyurl.com/4ybk9xcu

Reposting bc I can't stop thinking about the fact that, as a homeowner, I apparently deserve more than 6 months if I am in crisis and need to figure out how to get the money together to stay in my housing but my neighbors who rent apparently only deserve 30 days.

Another US service member has died. “Pentagon Announces Seventh U.S. Death in War With Iran The service member killed was not publicly identified, but U.S. Central Command said the death was caused by injuries after an attack on a Saudi military base.”

Fox News: New Jersey elementary school weighs renaming after Trump. Naming a school in honor of a pedophile who raped children is the height of Republican hypocrisy. #ProudBlue #Pinks #SheShed #VoteOutRepublicans

This weekend marks the 61st anniversary of the march on Selma, otherwise known as “Bloody Sunday.” One of the most violent marches of the Civil Rights Movement, the protest took place on March 7, 1965. (cont.) #BloodySunday #MarchOnSelma www.theroot.com/here-is-ever...

Ossoff: "The president owes Americans a real explanation. 2am posts on Truth Social just aren't good enough when you're sending Americans into combat. He was dancing at his beach club the same night he ordered air crews to launch into combat & hours before our service members endured missile salvos"

There’s just about ~10 days left to make a submission to one of my favorite programming contests:

Highly encourage you to take a peek and enter, it really brings out some of the best programmers (and compiler wizards).

Yeah, dunking on strangers on the internet is fun, but have you tried meeting people in your actual community and showing up to organize and make your communities better?

Jayme Lawson from Sinners hit the nail on the head and said how I felt with the whole BAFTAs situation.

ICE is still here in MN, and our neighbors are still in hiding. Rent is due TODAY, and I’m scrambling to raise funds to keep immigrant families in need out of eviction court. Can you help? V: @Ian-Coldwater CA: $iancoldwater PP: @coldwater Please share and give if you can! Thank you! 🌷

It bears repeating:

Since his inauguration, President Trump’s net worth has gone up $3 BILLION. I support his call to ban members of Congress from trading stocks – but that ban must also include the president. No one should use public office to enrich themselves.

Analysis of crash data shows that you're 17 times more likely to die in a vehicle fire if you buy Elon Musk's Tesla Cyber truck than if you had bought a Ford Pinto, the 1970s era car infamous for gas tank explosions in rear end collisions. fuelarc.com/evs/its-offi...

the party that wants to require ID to vote abruptly invalidating a thousand people’s IDs overnight seems like a pretty giant flashing red light

Not sure how to get coverage on this but I just tried downloading LTS Ubuntu from the official website and the download redirected to codec-cluster[.]org which appears to be domain squatted and potentially malicious @omgubuntu.co.uk @ubuntu-ls.bsky.social @linuxfoundation.org

This is an all-timer in headlines where the use of the passive voice obscures a VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM with the basic premise of the story

This stunt where ICE releases people far from home with no proper clothing and no way home should be treated as attempted homicide. In this case, actual homicide. These cases are not accidental or based on misunderstandings. They are deliberate attempts to inflict bodily harm.

Don't let your eyes fool you; this is exactly what it looks like... a modern-day American Gestapo. The USA is an absolute disgrace of a country.

INBOX: the police chief of Quakertown, Pa., led a group of plainclothes officers to disrupt a peaceful high school student sidewalk protest yesterday. They threw an underage girl to the ground, choked her, and disconnected all calls to the detention center where she and others are currently held.

ICYMI — The FBI director flew there on the taxpayer dime on a private jet to do this… Kash in 2023: “I’m just saying Chris Wray doesn’t need a government funded G5 jet to go to vacations. Maybe we ground that plane. $15,000 every time it takes off. Just a thought.”

Rep. Tlaib: "This is all our people are using to defend themselves: a whistle and a cell phone. As opposed to this fascist army with a wide array of tactical weapons/gear being used against our citizenry. They are making money from these atrocities including imprisoning babies." #sheshed
