On February 19, 1942, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed E.O. 9066, authorizing the forced relocation & incarceration of more than 125,000 Japanese Americans, solely because of their heritage.

My favorite is the one who has read nothing but DaVinci Code and three of the Harry Potters . . . 😆

“‘I am begging my fellow politicians, my fellow Americans to realize that right now in this country we are not fighting over policy or political party,’ Pritzker said. ‘We are fighting over whether we are going to be a civilization rooted in empathy and kindness—or one rooted in cruelty and rage.’”

THAT'S IT. I AM MUTING "FOSSIL" YOU IGNORERS OF GOOD ADVICE AND LET THE CHIPS FLY WHERE THEY MAY

Law schools still use pizza to get students to show up for events they don't want to do. It works because we are (collectively) slaves to the god 'Za, apparently. DO WHATEVER WORKS

PSA. Please stop reposting the UK fossil that looks like alien teeth. Everyone has seen it more than 50 times in the past two days and it’s neither funny nor terrifying any more. Thank you for your attention to this matter. 😬

Is this The Onion? 😂

The United States has been badly out-democracied and out-rule-of-lawed by South Korea. And Brazil. In those countries, a leader who breaks a lot of laws and attempts a coup instead of leaving office when legally required faces consequences, instead of being given special treatment then power again.

“Is there a technology the left is excited about?” I just bought a new toaster oven and air fryer because it seems like it will be fun to play with and does something that might make my life a little more enjoyable. When LLMs seem as useful as a toaster oven, I’m in.

Do you work for free

This might be an astute observation. There have to be people who work for MAGA types and just keep on keeping on because they need the job/health insurance.

A decade in, I'm all, "IF HE AIN'T DEAD, BLUESKY, YOU HAVE NOTHING TO TELL ME"

"iS tHeRe a tEcHnoLoGY tHe leFt Is eXcItEd aBoUt" yeah, renewable energy, mRNA vaccines. Lots of cool stuff like that! Probably not the one whose main promise was cutting payrolls

I'm glad to know I'm not the only one who heard "sister-in-law" and thought, "Okay, which flavor of sister-in-law are we talking here?" Like THAT'S what mattered here. 😆

Will Republicans never learn that the Streisand Effect is real even though it's named for their mortal enemy, Babs?

I’m willing to die on the “Muppets are too a technology shut up!” hill.

The century of humiliation continues

New from me in @theatlantic.com: "Young people who voted for Trump have said that they believed him during the campaign when he promised to 'build the greatest economy in the history of the world.' Now they say they feel duped and let down." www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Trump can't steal the midterms. I say that not as a call for complacency, but to right-size worries. Authoritarianism partially exists in our heads. Excessive fear plays into their hands. Be vigilant but don't panic. Don't grant the regime more power than it actually has. Me, in @thebulwark.com:

“If this guy isn’t impeached and removed, what’s the point to the whole Constitution? You can’t have a fucking criminal running the government for his own benefit screwing the people. And that’s what we have.”

Is it part of the fun of professional wrestling to insist that they are athletic contests?

This is why government cannot be run like a business.

When interviewed, the woman admitted that she thought “community property “ meant that the instant you married someone, you were entitled to at least half their stuff ( probably)

Always. Read. The. Alt. 😂

Hits different in Middle English

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.

I changed my name to my husband’s when I got married because I like his family and don’t care about mine. Why should that choice have anything to do with how hard it may be for me to vote?

Three copies of everything is ideal. One for working and two backups. And one of your backups should be off site - meaning not in the same PC or system the other(s) are in. And automate the back up so you don't have to remember to do it!

Once again illustrating the sheer pointlessness of people’s use of AI. You HAVE to check the output. And having generated the answers in order to check the accuracy of the AI’s answer - oh my! - you’ve done the job yourself.

Okay, reading this post tells me that ALL of us are getting inundated with hairy middle aged men and kink posts. That doesn’t sound like the algorithm is working correctly.

File under, you can lead a horse to the answer but you still can’t make it vote in its own best interest, or how CNN joined the resistance a year and a half too late.

I have to be honest. At one point, while writing this article, I did think to myself how it would be cool if fellow data nerd @minakimes.bsky.social came across this article, and even liked it. Personally, I still think that would be cool.

A thing you can do to help authors: repost their promo! Any book that looks like it might be interesting, books on sale, bundles. Maybe someone else is looking for just that thing.

This sounds intriguing. My library ordered four copies so I put one on hold for myself. (knowing myself as I do, this will be a magnificent surprise in April!)

Story of my life.

Someone from the South: if someone reveals a damaging, criminal detail about their life, then claims it was a big misunderstanding, and the Mississippi listener says "Ain't my place to judge," That's Southern for, "I don't agree with you but I'm not stupid enough to say so to your face." Right?

TIL the Seattle Seahawks logo is not only inspired by PNW indigenous art but is probably based on a specific Kwakwaka'wakw eagle mask

Oh. I usually fall face down on the kindle. That direction just seems safest since it happens basically EVERY NIGHT

Homonym humor. The best kind, imo.

I 💙💚 that this will exceed 2014! Good job, 12's!

DANG - I just found a forgotten cup full of mac and cheese from Sunday's party. LUNCH IS SERVED!

Late to the party but this is very good news. Governors have more independence. Glad they are using it for good.

Help a good girl out.

Raskin to Bondi: "You're not showing a lot interest in the victims. Whether it's Epstein's human trafficking ring or the homicidal government violence against citizens in Minneapolis, as AG you're siding with the perpetrators and ignoring the victims."
