This, a thousand times, this.

I made a veggie and dip tray. Pottery is my sanity.

I just feel like we as a society actively resent that getting good at something takes a lot of work and is an active if not relentless pain in the ass most of the time

NEW: Pope Leo XIV just called for the permanent abolition of aerial bombing — a first for any pope. “Airplanes should always be vehicles of peace, never war. No one should have to fear that threats of death and destruction might come from the sky.” This comes as Trump’s Iran War enters week four.

Florida Dems flipped 2 legislative seats today, in districts that had gone for Trump by 7% & 11% in November 2024. Now a key question: GOP is preparing to re-gerrymander FL, & many are expecting a map they'll go for a map that nets them FIVE new seats. Does this spook them from going that far?

Six months into Bari Weiss’ overhaul of CBS News, new ratings data obtained by Status shows its flagship programs are shedding viewers at an alarming rate, collapsing to historic lows and accelerating the network’s decline. Details in @status.news: www.status.news/p/cbs-news-r...

Good dogs. Very good dogs.

Trust dogs. Always. They unerringly know who the awful people are.

My congress cretin is truly awful.

the media is now telling people to work from home to save on gasoline, immediately after their years-long crusade to tell us why returning to office is best for everyone. this isn't a gotcha, it's an example of how contradicting demands allow the ruling class to blame us no matter what we do

13/ Legal experts we talked to were alarmed by the precedent set by Doyley and Bennett’s cases, particularly as Florida considers a bill that could pave the way for more court-ordered medical care. Read our full investigation:

I would absolutely be this grandma.

Cool. Let’s go with that. Now withdraw US forces. Thanks.

“The minors being eliminated include women’s and gender studies, LGBTQ studies, Mexican American studies, Africana studies, Asian studies as well as dance, geology and special education.” Exactly how many international students were enrolling in these programs, if you don’t mind my asking?

Oh. My. God. He’s said a lot of stupid things, but this is…unfuckingbelievably bad. www.instagram.com/reel/DWFMxtY...

Okay, it’s official. The timeline is wrong.

Seriously? If they self-identify that way, of course they love him. It’s a cult.

OSSOFF: Your statement says that as a result of last summer's airstrikes, Iran's nuclear program was 'obliterated.' Correct? GABBARD: Yes O: The WH stated war was launched to 'eliminate the imminent nuclear threat' G: The only person who can determine what's an imminent threat is POTUS O: False

I was unaware that anti-DEI was “law” given that all of it is from executive orders. Did I miss an act of Congress? www.insidehighered.com/news/governa...

I’m way too invested in this. www.instagram.com/reel/DV6Js56...

HOLY SHIT. A dark money group, hidden behind a bunch of shell companies, is paying influencers thousands of dollars PER POST to attack @katmabu.bsky.social on social media a month before her election. Thank you to the people who declined the money and went forward with this. So who's behind this?

Does anyone else feel slightly nauseous submitting an abstract for publication? Or is that just me?

Whoa. This is big. "The U.S. Navy has refused near-daily requests from the shipping industry for military escorts through the Strait of Hormuz since the start of the war on Iran, saying the risk of attacks is too high for now." www.reuters.com/world/middle...

This is outrageous.

And Daines is the one who dropped out? Sheehy is an awful person; always has been.

WATCH— @ossoff.bsky.social : “Trump owes 🇺🇸 a real explanation. 2AM posts on Truth Social just aren't good enough when you're sending Americans into combat. Trump was dancing at his beach club the same night he ordered air crews to launch, hours before service members endured missile salvos.”

Wait, what? Is this yet another attempt by someone to, I don’t know, cheat?

In this nearly neverending landscape of WTF, this is right up there. Because the ‘trusted contact’ can be pretty much anyone. So thoughtless.

One of the many weird about current academic "I handed over most of my research to Claude and triplemaxxed my productivity" discourse is the focus on time-saving rather than quality. It's not about producing better research, but about producing three times as much just-about-good-enough research.

Nothing like a bit of fascism from the top.

Well, this is all kinds of disturbing.

Noem AGAIN refuses to apologize to the families of Renee Good and Alex Pretti after calling them domestic terrorists without evidence. Still, this time she lies and says she never said it, even though it's on tape and she doubled down on her claims several times.

So, not to start a conspiracy or anything, but gas prices around here have been relatively low for a while. Between 4 and 9 pm, they rose locally by about 40 cents. Oil company profits? Also, can anyone point to an actual rationale for all of this?!

Nine months ago, the United States "completely and totally obliterated" Iran's nuclear program. Tonight, we're attacking Iran to disrupt their nuclear program. A sizable percentage of this country thinks that's normal.

the former host of celebrity apprentice and the former host of fox & friends weekend are launching bombs and destabilizing the world for generations all because voters decided their biggest issue was a trans kid playing jv tennis with their friends 4 states over

This is one of my pettier impulses but I want the record to reflect just how often this motherfucker said that Kamala Harris was the pro-war candidate in 2024.

Gotta love waking up to yet another middle eastern war. Haven’t they learned yet that getting involved in a land war in Asia is a very bad idea?

Oooh, cool!

So, as some of you know, I’m a bonus mom. Tonight, one of my bonus daughters gave me this, and I cried.

Okay, because the BS and terrifying things are piling up today, I gotta ask. What has given you joy lately? For me, it’s my weekly pottery class, even though I suck.

This week Historians At The Movies talks about the life, death, and memory of Medgar Evers. Join us on Netflix this Sunday, February 22 at 8pm eastern for GHOSTS OF MISSISSIPPI. If you believe in what #HATM is doing, share this and we’ll see you soon.

This is actually real. Chicago Magazine lists a Nazi, Nick Fuentes, as the 7th most powerful person in the city. What are we doing, America? www.chicagomag.com/chicago-maga...

WHITE HOUSE: "When you see it on Truth Social, you know it's directly from President Trump." TRUMP 2 WEEKS AGO: "Somebody posted, a staffer posted ... somebody slipped. I didn't do it. This was done by somebody else."

Countries that do not embrace product will suffer, says guy who DEFINITELY has NO INTEREST WHATSOEVER in product and is just giving vital advice FROM THE GOODNESS OF HIS HEART.

I’m guessing there’s a whistleblower case here.

Anyone know what this actually means?

WIBTA if I went and yelled at a guidance counselor? A student came to my office to discuss the semester project. Cool. We talked for a bit. Turns out wanted to major in history, but his HS guidance counselor told him he can’t get a job with a history major. I cannot even. Also, new major!!!
