This piece with Natalie Fleet is - quietly, gently - one of the most moving political interviews you will have heard in recent years.

A thread of the most perfect Valentine cards.

No they won’t 🤣 Clueless, ignorant, overpaid dunning-kruger candidate 👇

Good stuff in this thread and convo that follows. People who are deeper into the tech know a million other reasons why this is stupid. Basically the more you know the stupider it is. But even as a dumb person you have to know that shipping all parts and raw materials to moon is a big issue.

There are so many fucked up things with the current administration that it's hard to focus on one but this recent move is basically a death sentence for the planet. I've been involved with more boots on the ground actions over the years than I can count and this really bums me out.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt made a 12-minute response video to people mad at him supporting mass surveillance and censorship, and somehow got even MORE wrong about Section 230 than his original congressional testimony.

I’m so woke, I believe in full LGBTQ rights, that we should protect the planet, that everyone deserves healthcare, that a nation cannot be Christian, that the world is bigger than America, and that to be "pro-life" means to treasure all of it. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/confession...

If society doesn't normalize instantly knocking stalker glasses off people's faces, then I guess the alternative is to simply mask up all the time

me in any conversation about anything lately:

Every time someone calls muskrat a South African nazi, emphasising his place of birth over where he lives, they're choosing to ignore that South Africa doesn't want him because everything he does goes against our constitution, and that the country where he feels most at home is America. Anyway.

THREAD. Every day new evidence emerges of ICE agents committing the *most serious violent crimes* in our criminal code and then *lying about it.* It's important to draw correct lessons from this, but anyone with sense is excluded from mainstream news.

This is everything it should be - meticulously researched, deeply thought out, uncomfortably probing, scrupulously fair, AND ALSO outrageously entertaining. This is how progressives should tell stories. An hour flew by.

“Republicans are over here being straight-up mercenaries,” @sarahlongwell25.bsky.social told The Atlantic. “Democrats give everybody Fridays off and talk about work-life balance.” She apologized for yelling into the phone. Democrats “are not built for when the fascists come,” she concluded.

How cool?? I think this would look amazing

Man I'm so goddamn sick of ai. "Wahhh you can't have a reasonable conversation about ai on here," yeah maybe be mad about the two year parade of scam artists and financial charlatans and environmental ruiners who have radicalized everyone against the spell check that agrees with you

Over on threads someone just use ai;dr and we all need to adopt that right quick

Thanks to the internet heros who made it easier to search and read the Trump files if you're so inclined to do so. substack.com/@kristenkrol...

been watching the olympics and i think i found a solution to the male loneliness crisis

Some unbelievably good news for the poor dog we rescued last week and some new arrivals at the hospital. A longer behind the scenes look today. youtu.be/nro4fADhFa0?...

A team with zero professional players, plucking players from the English amateur divisions vs World Cup regulars. Out of nowhere, Germany had the greatest day in their rugby history as they beat Romania in a tense encounter. We sat down to dissect it all- youtu.be/HShQST2apFk?...

Yep, after all what they are saying is true: in the West and beyond, Putin has got only two very fundamental allies -- corruption and profound human stupidity.

Worth watching this in full. The statement is more powerful than this quote alone. Here is is from USA Today, with alt text. Also! Rich Ruohonen is a personal injury lawyer and the oldest athlete to ever represent the United States in a Winter Games at 54 years old.

The absolute barest (and easiest) of minimums 👇 (but I’m sure many will be wringing their hands)

“Four of my children just evaporated,” Badran said, holding back tears. “I looked for them a million times. Not a piece was left. Where did they go?” There are no words to adequately describe the evil here.

I’m proud as fuck of our Olympians. open.substack.com/pub/jojofrom...

In the unlikely event of cabin depressurization, AI agents will automatically drop from the ceiling. Please ask it what to do before helping any other passengers. In the event of a water landing, your seat cushion can be used to place up-to-the-minute bets on Draft Kings. We now accept crypto.

It's fine and good for reality show hosts to use their platform to spread conspiracy theories that the president is a maybe not so smart secret African, but athletes must not have opinions about America murder squads and so forth.

A mountain of Six Nations may have hidden Switzerland's achievements, but the neutral boys might have just quietly produced the most impressive result of 2026 so far- We dig into what, how and why... youtu.be/PKOy_41w0pE

RFK, Jr. says a Harvard researcher cured schizophrenia by feeding his patient a meat-heavy keto diet. The Harvard researcher says he did not. For busy schizophrenic lovers of beef tallow, it can be hard to know who to trust.

The people behind Project 2025, the 70 plus million who voted for this and the millions who stayed at home during the last election are directly responsible for the climate chaos that these decisions will unleash GLOBALLY.

Life is the cage is all he ever knew. Hard to believe but look at him now We fund 14 organizations around Asia now and this is one of our partners called Bali Paws.

Stanley Ann Dunham Barack Obama‘s mother was an amazing woman, great read🙏🏽

People are mad at @samuelmoyn.bsky.social but this is a good piece from him and @ryandoerfler.bsky.social on need to accept that SCOTUS has become functionally illegitimate. Key point is legitimacy does require the public to think the court operates in good faith: www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Concentration camps: stories of as many as 50 people to a cell — men and women in some cases — with no windows and limited airflow, a single camera-monitored toilet, aluminum blankets, no showers and poor quality food.

Decades ago, Kris Hansen showed 3M that its PFAS chemicals were in people's bodies. Her bosses halted her work. Now she wrestles with the secrets that 3M kept from her and the world. (Published May 2024)

Giving racist meat scarecrows a taste of their own medicine

Every instance of "AI democratizes the arts, you're classist and ableist and a gatekeeper for trying to stop it" is a slap in the face to the literally centuries of poor, disabled people making art on the margins and a crass lie in service of a machine that strips down and regurgitates dreams

"This is why people don't like Democrats. The Democrats are constantly going, 'How can we talk to Republicans?'... Your attitude needs to be 'How do we beat Republicans?'" The one and only Jennifer Welch on the 'We're Not Kidding' podcast with me today. zeteo.com/p/jennifer-w...

On a similar note, as Mamdani continues to notch W after W you’re going to start seeing opinion pieces about how this could never work in any city other than New York, etc., etc. Do not engage! It’s just entrenched power bullshit and that’s all! Don’t let them make that a conversation!

A federal court cleared way for us @democracydefendersfund.org to depose Elon Musk over the unconstitutional shutdown of USAID Our case now moves into discovery As our Legal Director Tianna Mays explains: accountability starts w/ facts👇 - TN

The Washington Post just laid off its entire award-winning photo team. They were our eyes in places we'll never see. It's a horrifying loss at a time when lying governments, propaganda and AI slop are on the rise.

Mamdani: "I speak of Renee Good, whose final words to the man who murdered her were, 'I'm not mad at you.' I speak of Alex Pretti who died as he lived, caring for the stranger. ICE shot him bc he did something they could never fathom ... let us offer a new path: one of defiance through compassion."
