“The children are always ours, every single one of them, all over the globe; and I am beginning to suspect that whoever is incapable of recognizing this may be incapable of morality. “ — James Baldwin

What could possibly go wrong??

What a photograph. “Nearly two dozen arrested as faith leaders protested outside a federal immigration facility near Chicago…” Arrested large amounts of peaceful clergy face first on pavement is a pretty good sign you’re not the good guys in the story. www.reuters.com/legal/govern...

Researching and reiterating the safety of Tylenol for parents who are scared to use it for their febrile babies is on my list of tasks for today. Again. Because of the irresponsible messaging from government health officials who have prioritized fear mongering and culture wars over science and facts

Count “Nazi tattoos are bad, actually” among the list of phrases I thought went without saying.

My teenage daughter just had a seizure. She’s had a lifetime of them but rarely at this time of the evening. She got up to find me, pasted herself to my side and promptly fell into a deep sleep. It’s an absolute honor, this whole being her safe place thing.

Remember our mantra: Don't Engage, Just Block.

Last night, as I drove over the bridge to the gym, I saw a person in full clown costume marching along the sidewalk, gesticulating wildly with their arms. It felt like a fever dream, and I had to tell somebody

This is my villain origin story.

Frauds failing upward in this cursed timeline

So many people run red lights in my town. Not just by a little bit either. Like seconds after it has already turned and other directions have the green. It’s so dangerous and I’m betting it’s a national epidemic. Driving in cars makes us selfish and disconnected from our shared humanity.

Tylenol (acetaminophen) does not cause autism.

Hey a thing I really don’t want to get lost here is that while Tylenol doesn’t cause autism, IT’S FINE TO BE AUTISTIC. Let’s not grant them the premise that autism should be eradicated in our way to correct the science, okay? Okay.

A great read!

@jamesponti.bsky.social it doesn’t seem like you are on here much, but I just wanted to let you know that I absolutely loved your Sherlock Society books!

Karl. Rove.

donald trump has been stewing on that for over a year. these weird pathetic babies canNOT take a joke at their own expense. it absolutely eats them up. which is why we have to crank the jokes up to 11. to save america. 🫡

One thing about rights is that they only exist if you fight for them. If you just capitulate to authoritarian demands they are worthless.

Bye bye, Disney+. Yanking Kimmel is bowing to authoritarianism. And it won’t save you anyway; he’ll keep coming and demanding more and more.

He has the thinnest of skin. Truly.

Inadequate bike infrastructure is a major contributor to cyclist casualties in the US, but the attitudes of US drivers are also a huge factor. They view cyclists not as fellow commuters but as obstacles that don’t belong there, and they assume anyone biking instead of driving is being a contrarian.

This is absolutely true. It’s got to stop!

This game, man. Wild!

What’s the German word for when you’re simultaneously embarrassed and horrified?

They keep losing in court because everything they’re doing is illegal

"Go to an old cemetery. See all the baby graves from before the 1950s & 60s? After that, hardly any. That's when people started vaccinating their children. If you're unsure what to do to protect your kids, the answer is literally written in stone." — Michael Okuda How quick we forget.

Having a vaccine-denying surgeon general is like installing a prisoner as the warden. Diseases will run rampant. Vaccine denialism as a function of rugged individualism is deadly.

The level of pettiness required to do this unfathomable. The president is a small (and guilty) man.

Dear Apple Music, my running playlists have nothing to do with my favorites. #runningproblems

Infuriating! Trigger happy dicks. Killing a child over your precious property.

Pretty please 🙏🏼 🤞🏼

I snapped up the very last poster from the Avett Brothers concert tonight. It’s beautiful and matches my color scheme perfectly!

Hey cyclists, you know what to do! *congregate on bikes right outside this shop in your brightest kits scarfing donuts out of the Dunkin bag*

Something made me think of this … #RightToJail youtu.be/eiyfwZVAzGw

I need a break

Jennifer Newsom dropping a truth bomb. 💣

This is one of the most beautiful things I have witnessed, the craft here is impeccable.

A port in the storm. So many things are terrible, but this isn’t one of them. www.latimes.com/entertainmen...

The crushing of dissent, the elimination of criticism, and the co-opting of cultural and academic centers are all hallmark traits of a fascist regime. Orban did this in Hungary as well. Trump and MAGA took the lesson - hence the takeover of the Kennedy Center Honors. Resist at every moment.

the intensity of my anger at those who would criminalize the homeless — a population literally created by the greed and callousness of the ruling class — is very hard to contain. it was you who dismantled the safety net. if you don’t like the results, put it back

I do not know the citizenship or immigration status of any of my patients/families. Even if I did, no I don’t.

Biked around NW Calgary today. Gorgeous weather (except for about 10 minutes of sunny rain). The Bow River and its trail system did not disappoint. #yycbike

Two massive thumbs up to the tall king who sat next to me on the plane to Calgary last night. Not a single time did I feel him encroach on my space. 10 out of 10, would recommend.

Amy Grant is (has always been) a real one

Absolutely! This is not government for the people.

Submitted to our database from Chicago. Sysco is a repeat bike lane obstructor nationwide - often times blocking and damaging hard fought for curbed protected bike infrastructure like the one shown in the photo.

Autobots, roll out!

If my taxes don’t pave my roads or fix my bridges or keep my schools open 5 days a week or pay local teachers a living wage or help keep my hospital open or help my neighbor’s kid eat lunch or fund public television or my healthcare… Why the f’ck should I pay taxes?

I’ve been investigating Paramount’s deal with Trump. Here’s what we know: - Trump sued CBS - CBS called the lawsuit “meritless” - Paramount (owner of CBS) still settled, handing $16 MILLION+ to Trump’s library - Paramount has a billion-dollar deal that needs Trump’s approval
