Jonathan Joss--voice actor of John Redcorn from King of the Hill, and Ken Hotate from Parks and Rec--was killed in a homophobic hate crime today. I'm so angry.

Celebrating the goodness of the world by honoring Dolly Parton (@realdollyparton.bsky.social ). Her support of biomedical research is greatly appreciated, from donations to support scientists to encouraging folks to get vaccinated. Let’s all #MakeDollySmile today! youtu.be/OU6lpOf7Wjc?...

The Economist really sums up the situation well.

This is your regular reminder that executive orders are not royal decrees. Because America has no king.

I just had a column published in the Journal of Library Administration~ doi.org/10.1080/0193...

BE CAREFUL WHO IS IN YOUR GROUP CHATS. FOR EXAMPLE, THE OTHER DAY, I TEXTED "GONNA KILL HERAKLES AFTER 12 TRAGIC LABORS" AND INCLUDED NONE OTHER THAN HERAKLES. AN HONEST MISTAKE. I WILL KILL HERAKLES'S WIFE INSTEAD.

Thwarted by their own big mouths… again

*whispers* Nuremberg

Sure, this is bad for Johns Hopkins, bad for its employees, bad for America, bad for the world, but that's just the price we have to pay for the eugenics project of bored billionaires who long for the good old days of apartheid.

Meanwhile, there were all sorts of cries of "why didn't those terrible democrats clap for the cancer kid at the president's address"- apparently children with cancer only matter if they can make the orange menace look good. Noted.

The Honorable Ana Reyes is back at it today. So proud to know her.

I’m begging Democrats to stop talking about tax breaks for billionaires and the price of eggs! They are firing Air Traffic Controllers, stranding Americans in hostile countries, and getting ready to download our data from the IRS. No one is sitting around thinking “I’m worried about the deficit!”

looking back, AOL had it right. 30 hours of internet per month was the right amount.

What the actual *?! The White House has designated Mr. Musk’s office, the United States DOGE Service, as an entity protected from public records requests and most judicial intervention until at least 2034, by classifying its documents as presidential records.

Hell yeah. Hold the line. This is what we need people to do. Slow things down, don’t comply in advance so the courts have time to stop them. It’s starting to work.

Wow www.wired.com/story/treasu...

The University of Minnesota has put out a very handy guide for finding government information as sites get scrubbed or go dark only to reappear with less information. Please use and share widely. This is an excellent resource. libguides.umn.edu/c.php?g=1449...

Favorite sign so far

While Trump has been distracting America with everything else, Elon Musk’s staffers are quietly taking over NOAA and the Department of Labor. They are also using AI to help rewrite a significant portion of the federal government’s computer systems.

this is exactly what i’m getting at when i see these people have no understanding of civil society. they do not seem to conceptualize other people as having agency whatsoever.

Dorothy B. Porter changed libraries 💜 The Dewey Decimal System used to only have two classifications for Black people: 325 (colonization) & 326 (slavery). Each book by a Black person was put into one of these classifications. A book of poetry? Classified as colonization. Enter Dorothy B. Porter 🧵

These are the clowns Congress refuses to stop.

Donold is blaming a plane crash that killed 67 people on “DEI” with zero evidence. He is attempting to use racism to deflect from the fact it is HIS fault. He had just removed 100 FAA senior officials. It’s been 11 days and there are 67 bodies in the Potomac in Washington DC because of him.

Here's your lede: With bodies still being fished out of the Potomac River, Donald Trump went on a partisan, racist and entirely unsubstantiated rant today, blaming diversity hiring and Democrats for Monday’s calamitous collision between a passenger jet and a military aircraft..

The skating community is small - a lot of people know each other or know of each other What happened last night was devastating Please keep the families and loved ones of all involved in your thoughts. Be good to one another 🙏

If you’re looking for something to read that points us in the direction of resistance, consider this book. @dratchison.bsky.social is awesome. cup.columbia.edu/book/survive...

Pin this, save it, we’ll need it. “When a prison camp opens in your town…when a DREAMer is disappeared from your classroom…when the President destroys what’s left of the Constitution…They will all say they didn’t know this was coming. And I want the American people to know that they did.” AOC 🔥🎯

In today's episode of "No, it's not a conspiracy theory, it just sucks"

From the Naked Pastor...sums it all up perfectly.

I’m an ordained minister in the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) and I stand with Bishop Budde. The gospel said what it said, and so did she.

Whelp, the united states constitution is no longer available on the Whitehouse page. 404 not found. www.whitehouse.gov/about-the-wh... #constitution #whitehouse #unitedstates #daytwo

like sorry, idk what’s “not so bad” about an executive order that says: “trans people don’t exist to the government anymore and we’re telegraphing a full-court media blitz over an entire presidential term to convince the american people to agree”

I’m not surprised there are evil men in the world. I’m sad so many struggling people could support their evil and long after it’s clear they’ve been conned.

On the "controversy" surrounding Musk's Sieg Heil: “The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.” ― George Orwell, 1984

Seeing people blaming Musk’s autism for the salute. My autism diagnosis explains many things about me. And I have been overwhelmed with emotion while standing in front of a crowd. I’ve never reacted by doing anything that resembles the sieg heil. Because that’s not how this works.

It is so surreal reading articles and watching footage of what is happening in California. My life there seems like it was 1000 years ago (really just 9ish) and yet, my heartbreak is very visceral.

I’m house/dog sitting for the week and enjoying the craziness of 3 doggos instead of the usual one.

When I lived in Pasadena, I was privileged to be a part of two religious communities. One of them was the Pasadena Jewish Temple and Center. My spouse and I were members, and I substitute taught in the Hebrew school.

Me in my echo chamber

Basic fundamental rights for all people in this country shouldn't be a divisive issue.

When I said I was going to get a lot done today, I was a person who had no idea my shirt was going to feel so weird

Either you die a hero or become some other type of sandwich.

Snuggles with this guy are the best.
