Last week, ICE arrested and separated a father and son after a routine check-in. Six-year-old Yuanxin had just enrolled in the first grade at an elementary school in Astoria. Now he's in custody, alone. ICE won't say where. This cruelty serves no one. It must end.

Hey @erinbiba.bsky.social I hope this finds you

You've heard of the Friday night news dump. Here's the Friday night of Thanksgiving wknd dump. For special circumstances, like when the faculty assembly votes 595-4 against paying to end a shakedown and you do it anyway. Link to agreement here: bulkmail.northwestern.edu/trk/click?re...

He's right

“I am the eggman, they are the eggmen. I am the walrus”

I spy a PROWAG compliant HP parking space near Kenoza Lake in @haverhill.bsky.social

Amazing how a little orange cone can make a huge difference. Drivers don’t want *anything* to touch their precious cars - if only they had the same regard for people outside their cars

That “Zoe” rhymes with Joey and not Joe always throws me off

It is that time of year again It is time

Oh, to have good enough transit service that this would even be possible cc @ljs.bsky.social

If people actually liked thanksgiving food they'd eat it more than once a year

Perhaps thanksgiving dinner feels special because it's the only time of the year most Americans cook a meal that takes longer than an hour?

​It's baffling that we allow private companies to use public infrastructure as their R&D lab, externalizing the risk onto the public, while they fine tune their unproven software.

Look at this, a thing of absolute beauty

i feel like if you understand what the ending of the show was trying to say there's no point in having any content set after it. no new age of the world, westeros is trapped in doomed to be trapped in hellish medieval stasis for eternity. the wheel spins on forever

My new favorite kind of meme is "here are detailed instructions on how to turn off AI". 🔨

Whether it's Donald Trump appearing 1700 times in Epstein's emails or some Democrat delegate from the Virgin Islands no one has ever heard of sending a few texts to Epstein once, both sides have their hands very dirty.

Unusually bad rendering/drafting by Google Maps here

Looking forward to seeing exactly what time on Thanksgiving* weekend we get a heavily redacted Epstein files release *Or Christmas

Wow no way

I've rarely found myself happy to drive through a city, but I regularly find myself thankful to cycle through places like this. It changes your entire relationship with the urban environment.

The definition of insanity is blindly repeating the same obviously false definition of a word over and over again for your entire life and never actually looking up the real definition

to safely dispose of these hats, eat them. natural fibers — such as cotton, wool, silk, and linen — breakdown in the digestive track. synthetics do not. thus, if you eat your hat, the synthetics will pass through the other side. smush through the poop to find the synthetic fibers and recycle them.

please don't do this. MAGA hats are made from an acrylic blend, which will release toxic chemicals when set on fire, potentially harming you and downwind woodland creatures

idk why these grown men even want to hang out with teenagers. have you spoken to a teenager? they're annoying.

130 days. Holidays will be a challenge!

The other night I was about to head to bed and then I remembered the 2004 Boxing Day Tsunami and had to read four different Wikipedia articles about it

Back in my day, AI used to stand for Adobe Illustrator! And we hated that, too!

Kirby Smart is a POS

There’s an essay to be written about how maga patriotism is just shitty fandom. Anyone who follows sports knows fans like this, it’s always the ref’s fault, the other team doesn’t exist, there’s some plot/player/coach holding the team back otherwise they’d always win easy bsky.app/profile/atru...

The media allowing Trump plausible deniability on Project 2025 during the campaign is right up there with Iraq War stenography in craven, lazy disgracefulness

good journalism is when you start with a presupposition (the shooter's motivation was transgenderism) and then just make up stuff until people believe that's true

Every time I visit Connecticut I'm shocked that anyone would opt to live here voluntarily

But don’t call them Nazis.

Fresh homegrown heirloom tomatoes are goated

good lord, they did the photo thing for white murderers. again.

like this is the most irresponsible level of hysteria i’ve ever seen. most of these people are either paid by the republican party, or are high level advisors and allies. this is insane

Update: Civil War cancelled due to shooter being demographically uncooperative

Now that Kirk's killer seems to be caught, maybe the news could spare a moment's attention for the right wing, from the commentariat up to the GOP and president, whose immediate reaction was not mourning, but to seize the opportunity to try to incite violence against groups they hate

Kash Patel fired the 'legendary' special agent in charge of Utah's FBI division a month ago. Her colleagues say she was “absolutely the best” agent in the bureau but she was a woman of color so she had to go: www.msnbc.com/opinion/anal...

Wow no way

The asymmetrical media response to political violence in America is, in itself, one of the most important contributing factors to how we arrived at this place of escalating political violence.

Which work? Calling for gay people to be stoned to death? Blaming airplane crashes on black pilots? Anti-vax bullshit? Election denialism? Pushing Great Replacement Theory? Kirk’s murder is awful and ominous for this country. But no, we don’t need to honor him or “continue his work.”

Wild. The political murders of legislators in Minnesota were “killings.” The shooting of Kirk which cause is unknown is an “assassination.” They bend the knee without even being asked.

Deprofessionalizing federal law enforcement may have had some unforeseen consequences.
