Ok I have updated my online shop! Lots of new mugs, some new votive candleholders (very cute!), a nice little planter (for spring!) and a new tray size and shape! bonniecrawford.com/ceramics

Well, they got that one right. Sean Penn’s performance as former CBP Commander at Large Gregory Bovino will go down as one of the most memorable depictions of a fascist in cinematic history. Remarkable what a good sport Greg has been about the whole thing

Happy March 15. Here is my favorite Ides of March meme:

Jesus I had forgotten just how many of the exactly wrong people died this past year

This is Amy Madigan and Ed Harris refusing to applaud Elia Kazan's honorary Oscar in 1999. During the Blacklist Era, Kazan named names. Good on Amy and Ed.

WELL NOW, would you look at that? A massive, 4-YEAR-LONG study of NEARLY 30 MILLION people in France found that individuals who received a COVID-19 mRNA vaccine had a 74% LOWER risk of death from severe COVID-19 compared to unvaccinated individuals and ZERO increased risk of all-cause mortality.

A couple of 20-year-old developers make $500,000 a month promising to help men to stop watching porn, but exposed their private porn watching habits. www.404media.co/viral-quittr...

okay so first of all the underlying case is A Lot, it was filed in august 2025 and was already on doc 112 in december. here’s the complaint. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

A week after FIU college republicans were exposed for celebrating Himmler's concept of a "Nazi heaven," UF college republicans are disbanded for doing Hitler salutes.

Powell has spent his career decrying the "cancellation" of race scientists, climate deniers and bigots, arguing that their substantive views were less important to the threat to free speech their punishment represented. When it comes to Khalil, though, his (alleged) views are front and center.

I’ve decided to believe this means they discovered the spooky lair of a giant and mysterious black cat

BuzzFeed dying after chasing profits into a sinkhole vs. Gawker getting killed for challenging entrenched power is the perfect conclusion to the 2010s content philosophy wars.

Many Washington Post readers have been notified via email that their subscription rates are set to increase. Nestled at the bottom of these emails, you’ll find an asterisk and the following: “This price was set by an algorithm using your personal data.”

I met with AI data labelers in Kenya who are organizing their colleagues to fight the brutal working conditions and horrible pay given to the workers at the "bottom of the AI supply chain." They believe the NDAs they've signed are unenforceable so are speaking out: www.404media.co/ai-is-africa...

Sheriffs across the country make it a point to publish booking photos of every person they arrest and they run them in the local paper.

I feel like it should be more widely unpopular that in the past year we’ve witnessed the creation of an American Stasi required to meet arrest quotas who utilize an AI technology created by a company run by a sweaty raisin of a billionaire who thinks Greta Thunberg is the antichrist.

There's a good reason people in positions like this need to choose their words carefully. He's using "no quarter" because he thinks it means "we're being tough," but it's a real term and opponents will take a different meaning This pushes opponents to declare no quarter because we did it first

I’m curious about what the mechanism is by which ICE got involved in a state case where they didn’t already have a detainer

Is there anyone who loves the crusades more than Pete Hegseth loves the crusades

I don’t know how we can ever atone for this

I don’t know how we can ever atone for this

A fun fact about the belief the “Old Testament God” is cruel and egocentric and the “New Testament God” is loving, is that when British missionaries edited the Bible for enslaved people to remove references to freedom and liberation, they deleted 90% of the Old Testament and only half of the New.

So @josephcox.bsky.social watched over six hours of this deposition featuring DOGE staffer Justin Fox who, when asked how he defined “DEI” kept saying he needed to refer to the EO. Highlights here:

Update: seriously?????????

I’ve lived in the mid-Atlantic my entire life, but March’s absurd weather shocks and dismays me every year like I’m suffering through it for the first time. wtf is this bullshit seriously

I want to underscore how INCREDIBLY racist “we went too far”/“racism is over” takes are. The quiet part of that statement is: current racialized disparities represent the natural distribution of opportunities, talent, and resources between racial groups. It is white supremacist, bell curve shit

Luckily, there are enough unflattering photos of Pete Hegseth on Getty Images to last a lifetime

An Oklahoma fire department turned down $250,000 from Google because they didn't want to betray public trust as Google tries to build a data center in their community. The Rock Volunteer Fire Department chief got a standing ovation for speaking out against the data center. ktul.com/news/local/r...

We’re on like day 794 of every single task of my job taking 794x as long to complete - if they can even be completed - due to every motherfucking company I have to deal with having replaced its human staff with these fuckass AI bots. The world DOES NOT HAVE TO BE THIS.

Things sound real cool

leaders like trump are why sun tzu had to write a bunch of advice like "don't write your enemy a letter detailing what tactics you really don't want them to do"

The people who cry about not being able to teach the Bible in public schools are claiming there's a demand to impose Sharia Law and it is a serious problem.

I think Trump is cooked—and it’s helpful for us to say so, repeatedly and often. Authoritarians use fear to compel obedience. Once people start thinking about what they’ll do once he’s gone, they’re much less likely to obey his commands.

Long-time buddies Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols were out for a pleasant van drive in Oklahoma when, all of a sudden, their lives would change.

these kids are making Ferrari money telling people to use their app in order to stop watching porn, but they exposed their most intimate data and then lied to me about it www.404media.co/viral-quittr...

One day the NYT's editors will read these stories again and be ashamed of themselves. Mamdani called the attack "heinous," "criminal," "reprehensible," "terrorism," and "the antithesis of who we are." The insinuation that he's conflicted about this is disgraceful. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/09/n...

In memory of Logan Hullinger baltimorebeat.com/in-memory-of...

Your regular reminder that normal, mainstream, pro-democracy political parties do not make restricting suffrage the central pillar of their policy platform

Is it too early to go back to bed

Greatly admired Logan Hullinger's harm reduction-centered newsletter Motown Redux, his work for The Baltimore Beat, and the humanistic spirit beneath his journalism. Had hoped to work with him on a project. Condolences to his friends, family and colleagues at The Beat. Awful, heartbreaking news.

Very saddened by the sudden passing of my Baltimore Beat colleague Logan Hullinger, a terrific reporter, tireless harm reduction advocate, and standup community member. He would have turned 30 tomorrow. I enjoyed getting to know Logan, and hoped we would collaborate on many more assignments.

It is completely insane that they are putting people's names into their paid product as "experts" without their knowledge. And Grammarly's response is to say people can OPT OUT?? There's not even a definitive list to see if you're on it.

Human Rights Watch says they've verified that Israel has used white phosphorus on civilian populations in Lebanon.

A high-powered Chicago law firm announced a plan Monday to push for the appointment of a special prosecutor to investigate and potentially charge the agents who carried out Operation Midway Blitz. @sophiesherry.bsky.social reports: chicago.suntimes.com/crime/2026/0...
