Flying Squirrel Loves It Every Time

I was at a drone metal show when the NYC election was called and briefly felt like I'd left my body. Mamdani is my age, another immigrant, someone who actually likes New York, a person that feels familiar and attuned to the greatness + promise of our city. Folks turning out for him is so hopeful!

Did it literally come down to 3 people? Just checked in with the fam. 😬

I hope @samformarietta.bsky.social feels immensely proud of this. Folks want something different in my hometown.

it’s not enough. i challenge andrew cuomo to a 1v1 in super smash bros. i need to watch him lose something a third time

and when it comes to ICE’s crackdown, @404media.co is first to tell you what is actually going down. for example, a scoop from last week: you can’t refuse to be scanned by ICE’s facial recognition tool free for all to read as per their @freedom.press (foia) policy

Zohran picked 「卓蘭」("excellent orchid") for his first name and「夸梅」("brilliant plum") for his middle name. The orchid and the plum are among "The Four Noble Ones" in traditional Chinese art, the former symbolizing an indifference to fame and fortune, the latter an indomitable, incorruptible spirit.

@midimyers.com Belated shoutout for rewatching Venture Brothers and talking about its evolution on #TripleClick! I watched the seasons available on Netflix this year, and I was similarly struck by its deep character work and clear changing of perspective from the creators as years went on.

I'll never forget @adamconover.net joining these folks and revealing that the data we see on the news is from courageous folks swooping right through deadly storms over and over.

Did #BikeBus #ATL this morning in my hamster 🐹 costume! Helping kids get to school on their bikes is such a privilege & pleasure. Chilly and dark, but it'll be nicer next time.

The movement of Nintendo to be an "IP company" becomes more and more clear

Just me getting the CEO of LexisNexis to ask his new AI research tool about birthright citizenship. Decoder! www.theverge.com/podcast/8071...

The arguments for this really show how far some lines of thinking have gone. Apparently whatever truly disgusting "costume" you can imagine is fair game. It's a priority of ultimate free expression, with no consequence or pushback allowed, without a second of consideration for others. It's sad.

Both games engage in weighty topics like this with care, intimacy, and profoundly moving writing that made at least this player feel closer to the experiences of those in much more challenging circumstances than I.

1) this is great 2) it shows what a bunch of fucking losers Cuomo and Adams but also most of our politicians are www.tiktok.com/t/ZTMxMgbGG/

I don't know how common I am and our collective impact, but Target was my go-to place for many things, and now I haven't set foot in one in almost a year now. Cut my RedCard in half.

The Bob Moses Method

I actually love this. My guess is this is a loophole this person had been considering, and it was top of mind when considering policy and government. Scale didn't matter; they saw it in their neighborhood.

Arrived at the #Atlanta #ATL #NoKings rally to hear a couple candidates and state reps and senators, including Rohit Malhotra

This mass joining to Bluesky of official US gov troll accounts is honestly quite sad. I reluctantly do recommend doing a single big block using the link to follow. It's striking in an awful way how acutely partisan and bullying the messaging is. It's damning and damaging.

From Software please pay her, create horrid animations, and make me fight this while it groans in pain #videogames

The old line that one gets more conservative as you get older may have some truth revealed here. Not full Republican, but along the spectrum to these more centrist, party-line figures.

I've had my phone for nearing 4 years now. Compared to previous cycles this does seem to imply a plateau in the need/availability for more features, at least with respect to hardware.

That's not a good prize.

Lots of folks around Ansley Mall right now, and I'm not quite sure why! Largely younger people. Concert beginning or ending? Can't place what's going on. #atl #atlanta

This retrograde holiday is a good time to coincidentally listen to a Native American US representative talk about the Constitution and how it sets up Congress pca.st/episode/dacb...

Tim Heidecker is so good at this.

I'd love to know what every comedian who played the Riyadh Comedy Festival thinks of this piece by Jonathan Liew. It's an electrifying read. And really hard to think what any counter-justification from the participating comics would consist of. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Good clip

Woke up early today for #atlanta #atl #bikebus in my neighborhood. I don't have kids, but I love supporting my neighbors to live in the city we want to see.

Important work

Great reporting on a work of art with positive intentions that missed the mark. It makes total sense that a depiction of one of the hardest times in this neighborhood's history may not be what they want to see every day. #atlanta #atl #brownsville atlanta.capitalbnews.org/atlanta-comm...

Very disappointing

BREAKING: Mario Guevara has reunited with family members and media colleagues after being deported to Olocuilta, El Salvador. "GOD IS GOOD FRIENDS, Ready to continue working double time from my land, that's what my God wanted. Thank you very much to ALL," he wrote in Spanish on his Facebook page.

"I don't get to draw the line" — you are a wildly influential journalist with an audience of millions, you absolutely do get to draw the line!

Starting off #glasgow @sundayassembly.bsky.social this morning! So lovely to see everyone and especially more locals. Michelle and the crew have done a fantastic job.

Day 2 of the #glasgow @sundayassembly.bsky.social gathering after a lovely evening dancing! Band getting warmed up.

Just visited Kelvingrove Museum in #Glasgow where they repatriated a Lakota Ghost Dance shirt to its people in the 90s. I was impressed with the whole museum's approach to artifacts and narrative, and it serves as a model for how exhibits and curation can be in the future. This is a replica.

I'm at the @sundayassembly.bsky.social conference in #glasgow, and it's a lovely time so far!

Glad to know @repnikema.bsky.social is in this group. #atl #atlanta #gapol

Consider saying goodbye to TikTok. I dropped it in January after the app's Trump gratitude. I've missed moments of levity and amusement, but only every once in a while.

I wonder if the statute of limitations are passed to sue all the stations that only showed the bad side of Osama bin Laden

I voted no on the House Resolution that honors a legacy of racism. Please read my full statement.

The Immigration Court of Appeals just ordered Mario Guevara to be deported.

Right-wing Sinclair Broadcasting owns all these local media stations and many others all across America. This is not journalism, it is scripted propaganda.

I've been wanting to get into this one after hearing the author interviewed.
