This is the article I’m sending young women who work in emergency management when they tell me they have imposter syndrome. I promise you are infinitely more capable than the men running FEMA.

Trump compares US attack on Iran to Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. That ended up great for Japan, right? https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2026/03/19/trump-compares-iran-strikes-pearl-harbor/89229137007/ #nowar #iran

Do read this transcript, related to efforts of the federal judiciary in New Jersey to ensure a lawfully appointed U.S. Attorney there. Undercovered situation. Read the entire document, I promise it is worth it. #lawfedi https://drive.proton.me/urls/W0SC1NJEF0#ZEJkbLqnOBEn 1/

Leprechauns may have started as Roman priests running naked through the streets. Yes, really. Most of us picture a tiny guy in green with a pot of gold, but in older Irish tradition, leprechauns wore red and lived under water. The word itself has changed so much […] [Original post on zirk.us]

Billionaire rich jerk CEO demonstrates he's a rich jerk by firing employee who called him a rich jerk. https://finance.yahoo.com/news/atlassian-says-had-fire-engineer-153357386.html

I don't mind all that much being asked on a form I'm filling out my gender identity ("How would you describe yourself") or my sexual orientation ("Which of the following best represents how you think of yourself?") even if I find the language a bit odd. But "What sex were you assigned at birth […]

Hey #halfmoonbay and the rest of Coastside San Mateo County, we’ve got a No Kings event happening on March 28. C’mon out, join the protest, short march to Carter Park, and then a little event. #nokings #sfba

The prospect of more armed robots is terrifying. Still, I like that they at least gave it "angry eyes." https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c62662gzlp8o #robots #terminator #nofate

Why is so much of whats happening in the world now seeming like old sci-fi shows? The Outer Limits, "Hearts and Minds" "Our government knew they couldn't convince us to fight a war just to protect their profits, so they transformed human miners into aliens, and made them enemies in our own […]

My god, AT&T's support for POTS lines is awful. Support webpage says to call their 800 number. 800 number offers to send a link to their support webpage. Eventually tries to connect me to a service representative, and they have technical issues and cannot connect me to a representative, please […]

“DOJ Drops Defense Of Biglaw Executive Orders, Leaving Capitulating Firms Holding $940 Million Bag Turns out the Executive Orders Biglaw feared aren’t worth defending after all.” […]

Disney asked "Andor" creator Tony Gilroy not to use the word "fascism" when he was promoting its second season. Now, he's saying it — and talking about how the show's storylines connect to current U.S. politics. "So you get out your 'Fascism for Dummies' book for the 15 things you do, and we […]

So I read a kind of interesting pop-science article on a solution to an unsolved problem dealing with random walks. Hey, that's kind of interesting! I tried to follow the links. "Choquet-Deny groups and the infinite conjugacy class property" Ummm, ok.... "A countable discrete group G is […]

"Google says attackers used 100,000+ prompts to try to clone AI chatbot Gemini" So, it's ok for Google to steal content from everywhere to build their chatbot, but bad for other people to steal from their chatbot. "We stole it first, fair and square!" #ai #gemini […]

The current set of ads at the BART station is essentially "AI code is garbage, our tool will help". I'm pretty sure a few months ago it was "you need more AI code, our tool can help". I wish I'd kept a record to see how the sentiment changed over time. #bart #ai #vibecoding

To explain: When you come in from out of state to represent someone, you have to get a local counsel to sponsor you in "Pro Hac Vice." That's what Abbe Lowell et al are doing for Don Lemon. The guy who is sponsoring them in is the lead prosecutor who quit bc Pam Bondi is so corrupt.

Is threads fully part of the fediverse or are they still walled off and things like replies and boosts don't work? There's a few threads accounts I follow here that never seem to have any interaction. Is @Flipboard better? They have a lot of media sources including some that are also on threads […]

There's way too much nonchalance about the fact that California is hurtling toward electing a MAGA governor, even if 65% of its voters vote for a Democrat in the primary. Harold Meyerson reports on the top-two primary setting conditions for an election at odds with voter preference.

Ever confidently use a word your whole life, only to discover you might be wrong — or that half the people don't believe you? F-O-R-T-E is TWO different words! One from French (your strong point), one from Italian (loud in music). But Americans mixed up the […] [Original post on zirk.us]

The only thing worse than the media both-sides-ing every story is when they only report on the right-wing side of it. When Trump talks about how bad inflation was under Biden, the media should at least add in a one sentence clarification that inflation was so bad under Biden because we were […]

What remains to be done, at a minimum. Noem must be fired or impeached and removed from office. Stephen Miller must be removed from office. ICE must be abolished. No more money for DHS unless until ICE is dismantled. DHS must be dissolved, broken into whatever smaller, necessary independent […]

Kudos to the NYT editor who took “Appears to” out of the lead headline (finally)

Let your anger make you strong. Let it motivate you. Work from a hard, cool resolve to oppose fascism and rid it from your country.

The AP is out with a story detailing witness video of lethal ICE shooting in Minneapolis. I’ve also seen the video posted on other sites. Please read this story. Hard to believe there was any justification whatsoever for the killing of this man in Minneapolis […]

ICE just wrestled a man to the ground, subdued him, then shot him five times and left his body on the sidewalk. This is an emergency.
