Imagine parking your kid in the kitchen so they can watch the dishwasher instead of an ipad

one thing a whole lot of us struggle with at times is feeling isolated and depressed and like not enough people care about what’s going on and I really cannot emphasize enough that going to a no kings protest helps this feeling a lot there are so! many! people! who hate all of this shit

introducing a bill requiring all students to learn how to make the cool S

The viral thing about the roofers is not true. A pox on the people who make shit up for clicks, we have plenty of bad news that is actually happening and all this does is make everyone skeptical and checked out

rather than cursive (prescriptive, rote, limited synaptic leaps in a use-case vacuum) i just wish for art and music programs. for everyone. my public school music experiences were a mixed bag, but the programs at my high school charted the course of my life. thank you craig and judd and judy

boeing's record with faa approvals and 'minor design changes' to 'optimize' aircraft for the market isn't. . . perfect, and this news makes me feel bad in my bones. especially in the current regulatory environment www.seattletimes.com/business/boe...

It’s not strange. Grown Americans in positions of power & authority called the police on to campuses, and threatened the future work and livelihood of 20 year olds because they dared to stand against the mass bombing of women and children. And they will never forget it.

You’d think expensive oil would make our government focus on solar and wind energy, you would of course be wrong

This part💯

But I still don’t think people are prepared to understand how deeply embedded eugenics is in all of this, even as they see the racism, sexism and xenophobia on full display. And eugenics is still wildly popular.

it's incredible that as long as you do the right amount of bigotry you can just rob the country blind and enough people will not care, even though those same people will be filled with incandescent rage if someone uses food stamps to buy a 12 pack of diet coke

Defiantly blue cities in red states (and the artists and organizers and other weirdos that hold down the fort and keep their communities safe in these cities) just don’t get nearly enough credit

this goes for so much of the right wing ecosystem. the same guys who scream “DEI hire” would sink to the ocean if they weren’t kept afloat by their far right sugar daddies

Even if the entire generative slop bubble dramatically burst today and that was the end of it, we will be cleaning up the mess of the lies it left behind and the damage to people's mental health for a generation. Ignoring objective reality en masse has lingering consequences.

She's not just a creator who happens to be a bigoted arsehole. She's a really proactive participant in Scottish and UK political debates, who uses her private wealth to muster forces enacting actual real world political change for the worse. She is not just a rich writer, she is an oligarch

This is why I increasingly believe that librarians should use our limited time and resources to lobby for proper regulation and governance and not on developing 'literacy' or 'ethical use' policies after adoption, when it's far too late. It's like teaching victims of crime to be more 'ethical'.

counterpoint: any argument for the 'ethical' investment of funds generated from fossil fuel extraction is a category error

BREAKING: Huge news: The contents of a secret U.K. Govt report on Britain’s ‘critical systems’ and their grave vulnerability have just now been made public by the TIMES, for the very first time. Short impt THREAD…

I just resigned from NASA. It breaks my heart to leave, but I’ve become convinced the best path forward is to do the best science I can, and that can’t be here anymore. I’m still in love with the promise of those four magic letters. Ad astra per aspera, and remember: Earth is the only good planet.

Do something today that orients you toward feeling joy when other people feel joy

dems cave in 3, 2,

listening to the confirmation hearings for both john roberts and sam alito in 2005 and 2006, i thought roberts seemed sound and honest, with not a lot to hide. not my guy obvs but a real old school middler. & i thought alito was a fucking prick and a genuine problem, a step into a terrible future

If you aren’t ready to mute everything, on iPhone you can at least mute all the solicitation texts you get from unknown numbers. Likewise came as a huge relief to me, though I’m sorry to anyone trying to run for office!
