This has to be BATS, right? Because “notoriously antisocial”? I have no idea what you’re talking about.

I feel like it's not great to be nearly 100% desensitized to gun violence.

Happy #caturday from a boy reaching for you with a front AND back leg b/c pls hugs yes ok huuuuugs!!!

The first photo here is fake. A still from the same moment shows that Trump's head wasn't drooping like that. Also, he'd just adjusted his tie, which is why the guy two to the left of RFK is looking at him. Actual still at right. www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Ctx...

The better I get at coding with PHP, the more likely I am to break a website coding with PHP. Took two down today! New record! Anyway, I call this Meg’s Law of Progressive System Destabilization. Thinking about writing it up for the Proceedings of the Society for Dubious Website Development.

NEW! We surveyed people who use syringe services programs in WA, asking them about their drug use, health behaviors, treatment, and other service needs.

Counterpoint: This but it’s great actually.

HOT DAMN, THEY DID IT!!

A UW iSchool student was abruptly deported yesterday with his son. There’s a GoFundMe to support the family while they try to get them back to Seattle: www.gofundme.com/f/9wup9u-hel...

Just watched the NIH Strategic Planning input session... Some observations: (1) I am glad that NIH is doing this (although I do remain skeptical about how seriously they will take input which challenges their existing intentions). PEOPLE SHOULD STILL COMMENT! grants.nih.gov/news-events/... 1/4

Definitely feeling 60 minutes closer to death this morning, thanks Daylight Saving(s).

Telling people my secret for dealing with time changes

How I arrived on Bluesky

Don’t you DARE, 2026!!
