I love this quilt and especially the story. People are cool.

The party claiming christian authority is mad refugees were housed. "When a foreigner resides among you in your land, do not mistreat them. The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born." Leviticus 19:33-34a "[...] I was a stranger and you invited me in [...]" Matthew 25:35b

In spirit, content and intent, this was really no different to a Klan rally. The exception being the wholesale absence of outrage in mainstream media. This period of history will be an indictment on those standing silent, as much as the monster himself.

It is driving me crazy that I’m not seeing widespread coverage of these statements by the President. This is a big deal! If a news organization isn’t putting this in front of their readers/viewers, they are failing at their job to inform the public.

I watched the Nov. 11 auroras from the shores of a remote lake in Wyoming. I was alone on the beach, with the exception of dozens of little white rabbits. Their fur glowed green in the light. They just quietly watched the lights with me.

Most discussions about “misinformation” treat the problem as if people simply don’t have good enough critical-thinking skills. It sounds intuitive, but it’s not entirely accurate. The problem isn’t just individual ignorance, it’s the structure of the information environment people are placed into.

a billionaire who sees undermining political sovereignty as an alternative to paying a relatively minor fine is a problem that will have to be dealt with eventually

BEHOLD: MOON 🛰️

Here's the reality this example illustrates: It's not even just about people blindly trusting what ChatGPT tells them. LLMs are poisoning the entire information ecosystem. You can't even necessarily trust that the citations in a published paper are real (or a search engine's descriptions of them).

I am happy to pay $30 a year for USPS Prime, which delivers mail daily to my home

The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service

If a person is Black, brown, trans, an immigrant, Muslim, etc & commits a crime, they call it proof of the depravity of the whole group they wish to demonize. Yet a rich white man, pastor, cop commits a crime, & it's just one bad apple, despite actual evidence of systemic problems in those groups.

A stunning image of a monstrous stellar factory: the Tarantula Nebula, measuring nearly 1,000 light-years across. It is thought to contain more than half a million times the mass of the Sun in gas, and it hosts some of the most massive stars known. https://www.eso.org/public/news/eso0650/ 🔭

this clip encapsulates so much of what has been wrong about MSM Trump coverage for the past decade -- treating Trump's lies and bigotry as a valid "side" of a debate instead of calling it out, because calling it out makes it seem as though you're biased

i'd go even further and say there is a reason even nixon kept this kind of stuff to himself. you would have to go back quite a bit to find a point at which is acceptable for a president to say anything like this *in public*, to say nothing of in the oval office.

I don’t want to be pollyannish about the past, but it was basically inconceivable twenty years ago that a president would say this publicly

May every single person in this be held accountable for the atrocities they're committing and enabling while they stand there & snicker at a racist diatribe straight from the president's mouth. Immigrants are whole human beings with as much right to live full lives on this earth as anyone else.

I know it's too easy to grow numb to the constant flood of bigotry that comes out of his mouth but it does seem morally important you don't allow yourself or anyone else to become desensitized to this vile racism as a normal part of our politics

Straight up Nazi shit

I went to the NYT and this is in fact their lede and like, you know how bad things have to get for NYT of all pubs to call something “unapologetic bigotry”? Infinity alarm fire

This is some truly hideous, dehumanizing language straight from the President's mouth. Yet another serious escalation in rhetoric, and at the risk of sounding like a broken record, we’ve seen where this leads. We cannot just continue on this path.

This is absolutely horrifying, what's happening to Greenlandic parents based on some racist, eugenicist garbage masquerading as parenting assessments. The Danish government is perpetrating atrocities against indigenous people and families.

Beyond irony. It steals from all human creativity to function. It destroys our environment to operate. And using it robs us of our core skills. It's the perfect economic weapon.

In a new leaked memo, the FDA outlined plans to make it much harder to get new vaccines approved, claiming, without sharing evidence, that the COVID vaccines have killed at least 10 children. This is so reckless. The science shows us that COVID vaccines have saved millions of lives.

Jane Austen: I can’t stand any of you. Her characters: but you…you made us up? Jane Austen: yes, I was trying to improve humans. Turns out you can’t. Not even imaginary ones. The end.

Happy Thanksgiving. While you enjoy your meals today with family, please keep in mind the people spending this holiday in jails, prisons, and immigration detention centers. 🧵

I'm gonna need Lil Jon to release a full studio recording of Turn Down for What (Christmas Version) immediately please.

This, from the anti-vaccine, anti-medication administration. Literally all signs point to them not caring at all about our health and in fact actively wanting tons of us to die.

so stephen miller is back in the room with him I see

Zohran Mamdani standing beside the President of the United States just said that the US is funding Israel's genocide and yet can't take care of its own unhoused children on live television. I never thought I'd see something like that in my lifetime

Dostoevsky really will just end a paragraph with a line that comes from outer space and makes you reread the entire paragraph:

If this press conference has made one thing we already knew more abundantly clear, we are being governed at any given moment by whoever last spoke to Trump. As soon as Stephen Miller/JD Vance have his ear, he'll change. I wonder what we could accomplish if we could surround him with good people.

How is this not from SNL?

“Uncritical adoption of AI, will inevitably create people without critical thinking, and this may be a feature - not a bug, as it represents an attack on human agency itself.” collectivefutures.blog/the-infrastr...

#PPOD: A vast cavity on the Red Planet looks back at ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter (TGO) with an icy stare. The crater is located in Utopia Planitia, the largest known impact basin in the Solar System, with a diameter of roughly 3,300 km, or twice the size of Earth’s Sahara Desert from north to south. 🧪

Every day, I wonder anew at them passing him over for the Nobel Peace Prize.

This is the kind of thing that reminds me why I just love human beings so much even though we are collectively so deeply frustrating.

HiRISE Image of Exocomet 3I/ATLAS! On 2 October 2025, MRO turned away from Mars to image 3I/ATLAS, only the third interstellar object ever observed passing through our solar system! https://www.uahirise.org/releases/3i-atlas/

This is a real image of a real thing that exists in the universe! And because a bunch of humans decided to get together and build a space telescope, we get to see it! 🤯

This is...sort of brilliant.

This happened Friday, despite only getting attention on Monday night. Think about all of the Epstein emails, and here you go. This is 100% in fitting with those dismissive, abusive exchanges.

This is disgusting.

Personally, I don't see fascist infighting as an opportunity to align with and elevate whoever appears to be the slightly less objectionable fascist.

I understand that grief can be crushing. This is horrifying and an affront to humanity and relationship, and that people are trying to profit off of grief disgusts me.

Maligning basic, safe OTC medications that most people have to resort to, like acetaminophen and ibuprofen, is part of a larger scam to blame people for their health problems (or their children's health needs or problems), so that the administration can claim people don't deserve care or support.

This is a core element of conservative philosophy: If a single "undeserving" person is getting a government benefit, the answer is to take it away from millions.* *Offer does not apply to tax loopholes or any other benefit enjoyed by the wealthy

I just want everyone to have the experience of living in dignity with access to sufficient food, safe housing, needed medical care, high quality education, and time to engage with what sparks their curiosity and spirit this should not be controversial 🫠

One analytical model shows that, as of November 5th, the dismantling of U.S.A.I.D. has already caused the deaths of 600,000 people, two-thirds of them children. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/jUzNSc
