sharing a thing my dad said for my fellow burnt out overachievers to chew on: your job doesn't pay you extra to think about them off the clock ✌️

We’ve got real momentum now to finally BAN stock trading by members of Congress. Let's put a stop to what’s happening on both sides of the aisle and begin to restore America's trust.

GLASHEEN: Antifa is our primary concern right now. That's the most immediate violent threat we're facing BENNIE THOMPSON: Where is antifa headquartered? GLASHEEN: ... ... ... we are building out the infrastructure right now THOMPSON: What does that mean?

Amazon is making money off AI copies of books - and putting the onus on authors to prove they’ve been plagiarised. Honestly, just stop buying books from Amazon. Get them from an actual bookshop or order them from a reputable book supplier like bookshop.org www.rollingstone.com/culture/cult...

Books about “Asian wife sharing.” Detailed descriptions of orgies. Scenes involving “ladyboys.” That’s what @dfriedman.bsky.social discovered on a Goodreads page tied to the email address of a top Pentagon official and mentor to Pete Hegseth. What came next was even wilder.

Reminder: the SAME Republicans who made tax breaks for billionaires permanent (and exploded our national debt by trillions to do it) are now saying that saving health care for a few years is too expensive.

meanwhile houses destroyed in 2023 floods are starting to be demolished. Everything with housing takes too long.

A homeless man froze to death in central Vermont 2 nights ago when it was -15oF. It isn't even winter yet. :(

Former HPPAer & current volcano student (& always photographer) @yvonnebaurphoto has taken many eruption photos, but we loved the primal feel of this shot of Ep. 38 of the current eruption of Kīlauea Volcano, HVNP. 🌋It ended at 8:52 p.m. HST on Dec. 6 after 12.1 hours of continuous lava fountaining.

It's simple — @propublica.org workers should not be replaced by artificial intelligence. Our contract proposal specifically says that generative artificial intelligence ("GAI") should not be used to replace employees. Management struck out this entire section in their response to our proposal.

Did you or someone you know dance on Soul Train in the 1970s? I’d like to talk with you or them about that experience for my research Thanks!

Stunning footage from earlier today, when the new Kilauea eruption covered the USGS Webcam 3, which is situated in the Halemaʻumaʻu crater near the southern rim of the much larger Kilauea caldera. This *isn't* what the people of Pompeii saw. But it's not very far off.

The show is up and it’s SPICY! Ft. @danlamothe.bsky.social on leaving the pentagon, @annamerlan.bsky.social on the new pentagon press corps and Laura Poitras on her new movie “Cover Up.” Oh and pod bonus @micahloewinger.bsky.social spoke with Cam Higby about his new role. pca.st/episode/f23f...

I really can't emphasize enough that if you care about local politics, all you gotta do is show up. Just a regular schmegular person showing up. Literally just show up consistently in person and within a remarkably short amount of time, you will have a shocking amount of influence.

It only took four of us making a two-minute public comment about the library at the city council meeting for the councilors to restore the funding the mayor’s office had cut.

It's over. Despite the fact that the academic council recommended against it, despite the fact that the program brought in more tuition than it cost, and despite the fact that Nebraskans need & deserve this expertise, Earth & Atmospheric Sciences will be cut. www.dailynebraskan.com/news/adminis...

My employer, Dartmouth College, today boasts it's 1st Ivy "to launch AI at an institutional scale." It is doing this by partnering--"more than a collaboration"--with Anthropic, a company that stole the books of many faculty, me included, which many of us are suing.

December’s full moon is commonly referred to as the Cold Moon. You can guess why. It’ll certainly live up to its name, as tonight’s full moon will oversee record cold low temperatures from Illinois to Maine. Visit weather.gov for your latest, local forecast. #fullMoon NWS photo: Robert Hyatt

An arctic front tracking across the Northeast will trigger rounds of snow showers & snow squalls today. Attached are the latest Key Messages & an infographic on snow squalls. If you receive a warning, know that a snow squall is occurring or imminent & slow down or delay travel. weather.gov

Just a thin layer of ice on roadways is enough to make driving hazardous⚠️ Bridges and overpasses are especially prone to ice formation that is difficult to see, as winds beneath the structures accelerate cooling and maintain lower surface temperatures. Remember -- Ice or snow take it slow!

O'Hara: "There's folks that are masked, they may be kidnapping people. We have had those reports. The community should know that if you see something like that, you should call 911. Let's not forget -- we very recently had tragedy in this state by someone who was purporting to be law enforcement."

Pete Hegseth is dropping bombs and making light of war crimes with memes of Franklin the Turtle.   An accountable administration would come explain themselves to Congress and the American people.   Trump and Hegseth's abuse of power must be checked.

The American people deserve to know whether a war crime was committed in their name.   While more facts will come to light, it's long been clear that Pete Hegseth is unworthy of the public's trust. He is an embarrassment to our troops and a threat to our security.   He needs to go.
