This @petridishes.bsky.social article in the @theatlantic.com would be riotously funny if it weren't such a sad commentary on the current state of affairs. Nice work Ms. Petri! www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/...

My local @kera.org / @keranews.org is asking for your help to protect public media. It's time, they need us, but even more so the rural stations that will go OFF THE AIR with cuts to @pbs.org and @npr.org. Many till have no local news source or warning about severe weather. www.kera.org/protect/

@vanfkntastic12.bsky.social it is so great to see you here where Nazis get blocked and kicked the fuck off our li'l corner of the internet. I'm glad you made it. Travis. Also, sorry it's been so long, having a six year old really limits your bar time.

The Digable Planets turned me on to Nikki Giovanni in "Swoon Units" and I'm sure glad they did. She left us today so do a #boroughcheck on your people and love them before they're gone.

Minimum waste, maximum joy. I’m no smooth operator, but I aspire to this maxim, and Sadé is one of the most underrated modern ensembles. That is all, goodnight. /tc

@kevinkelly.bsky.social, who you may know of as a WIREDmag / @LongNowFoundation OG wrote a helluva book, and every bit of it is good advice. His prose encourages you to read leisurely, and your mind will wander with each one, remarking about many of their relevance to your own journey. 1/2.

This is really cool for us noobs, when not throttled. I’ll try again in five minutes. I’ve only tried the skeet.labnotes.org method though. YMMV

There are no coincidences in Austin, apparently. Should this replace the "Keep Austin Weird" motto? We all know that shit has flown the coop.

. @radiofreetom.bsky.social in today’s @theatlantic.bsky.social Daily said, “The only sure way to stop Trump is with a resounding and undeniable defeat at the ballot box.” The article quotes David Frum RE: the 14th saying It would surely be weaponizedb, so Mr. Nichols’ statement rings “extra true”

DanPatrick took THREE MILLION DOLLARS from a pro-Paxton PAC called Defend TX Liberty. They're trying to chill the march to justice for Ken Paxton by threatening to fight ANY Republicans who vote their conscience rather than siding with the PAC's position. I love Texas, but man, Texas gov is broken!

Tony Buzbee is currently pressing the witness to explain why he didn't ask a person he thought was doing criminal shit whether they were doing criminal shit

Raise your hand if you think DanPatrick should give back pro-paxton DefendTXLiberty PAC their THREE MILLION DOLLARS that they're using to try chill the march to justice for Ken Paxton Their head Luke Macias claims it's for DP's work LAST YEAR! Yeah, right, he's not up for reelection until 2026!

@knilirabaj.bsky.social - I'd like to help one of the causes you highlighted recently. Who should I gift the domain sexworkerunion.org to? I figure that's the logical next step since they get no representation now.
