Great to see the United States protecting the United States from its most dangerous enemy: the United States.

I have seen the most recent (2008-2010) restoration of Metropolis on the big screen. It's... a lot. And long. You should absolutely see it if you can, preferably with your most cerebral friends. 😉

You totally want to join me in backing FLOYD MERCANTILE by Peter Mulvey & Jenna Nicholls on @kickstarter.com www.kickstarter.com/projects/pet...

This is essential reading. It made me cry for many reasons. Thank you @tinacomeaunews.bsky.social for such a thoughtful piece.

Hmm. Several other people expressed the same opinions but did not exceed their allotted time and were not arrested. If you want to say that he was arrested *for protesting*, great, but this post implies he was arrested for expressing his opinion, and that's not true.

Also, it appears that Anthropic caved: www.ctvnews.ca/sci-tech/art...

As a professional interior designer, this is the way. I worry a lot about people whose homes look like hotels. I worry even more about people who pay someone else to make their home look that way.

I feel like we should not let the Tim Hortons employees off the hook either. That said, honestly, I don't know what the right answer is given that calling the cops was clearly not it. We need a whole NGO devoted to "I need help with a human I don't know."

Puzzle Binding! Tricky! These are almost as rare as hen's teeth, and we just... Had One??? And, it includes HOW Many Books? (Five from Germany c. 1601 and a blank one at last count...) #Vexierbuch #DosADos @newberrylibrary.bsky.social (Case C 823 .966)

So this is how ICE is demanding cooperation from police... even police departments who have committed to not supporting them. Hm. Next time I think I am not alone in wishing them to arrest the person making the death threats (which is assault and not legal.)

KEEP MAKING IT CLEAR THAT THESE “DETENTION CENTERS” ARE NOT WELCOME. It matters.

There's ALWAYS more to the story, folks. I don't know if any of this makes it better, but eech.

All of this but also - stop using AI! I mean, this should absolutely NOT be read to mean that Anthropic is GOOD. 🤦‍♀️

AIs can’t stop recommending nuclear strikes in war game simulations Leading AIs from OpenAI, Anthropic and Google opted to use nuclear weapons in simulated war games in 95 per cent of cases www.newscientist.com/article/2516...

Hey. Tell people when they do good job. When you like the stuff they make. When you like the characters they’ve created. The stories they’ve told. Nobody hears it as often as you think bc everyone thinks everyone hears it all the time. Trust. They don’t. Tell. Them.

I swear if any of the people I follow insist on wasting your one wild & precious life watching US politics spectacles such as "senile old man yells about the state of the US" & you don't hashtag or use the title of the event so I can mute, I will absolutely block you. Same goes for reposts.

not only do you not have to watch you can log off and not read any of the posts about it you can read a book about wizard detectives bake a cake hug your dog paint a picture go to bed early get a drink with a friend plan your garden start a jigsaw puzzle knit a scarf do some stretching take a bath

I imagine they know they're going to need something to watch/listen to when the internet goes out.

We should do everything we can to help Democratic politicians leave Twitter behind. Help the AG out!

"You get out your Fascism for Dummies book for the 15 things you do, and we tried to include as many of them as we could in the most artful way possible. How were we supposed to know that this clown car in Washington was going to use the same book?” www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-featur...

Henceforth, I will be describing the way that U.S. men’s hockey spectacularly squandered good will, brand recognition, and fan loyalty as “pulled a Target.” They pulled a Target.

very important video please watch

This had better not be fucking AI.

I wouldn’t leave academia to go be an acupuncturist but I have considered multiple times leaving it to be a personal trainer because academia is actually insane. Not realizing how insanely stupid academia is compared to other jobs is not a sign that you are a particularly smart or well adjusted.

Is the president mocking the U.S. women’s hockey team on a celebratory call with the men’s team going to attract even an iota of the sustained handwringing that the idea of trans athletes disadvantaging women’s sports has gotten

I 100% agree with this - facts matter. I *also* think the Dems need to learn to use propaganda. Skewing comments about other Dems is NOT the way.

Tag yourself. I’m the fish in the cup. Sometimes the judgy sun.

Thistle. Sometimes the botanical ax.

Might be a good time to remember that each of us is profoundly annoying to someone.

But... the snow never sticks in NYC... 😉

So it's time for this again, and I actually have maternal-longer connections this year! (IYKYK) www.familysearch.org/en/connect/8...

Would anyone in the LA area like a pet stick insect? This appeared in my yard and apparently they’re invasive so they really shouldn’t be just left to their own devices, but I don’t really want to harm her. She’s quite handleable. They are illegal to import but legal to keep if collected locally.

I, personally, can't help but look at it this way: Children have a right to not be abused, yes? (This is generally not controversial in the same way that 'Black folks shouldn't have the N word yelled at them' isn't generally controversial)...

The very next line of this article is: "The US envoy left out that Iran currently has no access to its material, no machines to enrich it, and no weapons program to use it for any operational purpose." So.

Margaret Wise Brown had a fascinating queer life: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Margare.... I want to write an opera about her one day.

Ahhh now I see www.cbc.ca/news/world/t... Greenland PM declines Trump's hospital ship, urges him to stop 'random outbursts' online | CBC News

Denmark's military says its arctic command forces evacuated a crew member of a U.S. submarine off the coast of Greenland for urgent medical treatment.

A week ago I found out that the grant I was confident would fund our spring mural will not, bc we're 2 blocks too deep into Kensington. This STINKS. This project rocks bc it's community driven, biodiversity-focused (& more! read on!) We're raising money to make it happen givebutter.com/KenzoMural

A few days ago, a friend asked me to make a FB group for our friend circle planning a tea party. I made the group and invited six people. SIX PEOPLE. It's for a tea party, at someone's house. ... wait for it ... (AI slop post 1/ ?)

You've probably already heard, but www.lightpollutionmap.info has a great new feature where you can simulate the all-sky light pollution view of any point on Earth! Check out what the light pollution looks like from Cleary Summit north of Fairbanks.

Ugh, who wants to have to write about coverture bc relevant to current events? Super short post bc apparently needs circulating. karinwulf.com/tidbits/cove...

Fascism is here and yet we insist on continuing to make things. Keep creating. It's so important. Do not let the fascists colonize your imagination or curtail your creativity.

Wondered how some old friends were doing. Google led me to one's blog. Last post was a defense of mourning Charlie Kirk...from a guy who (back when) was not religious & hated/quit being a cop in Texas. He apparently went back to it after marrying & moving to GA. Guess that tells me about his wife?

And truly truly, unless you want to, I don’t believe you need to tell people why your brain is having an off day. But letting people know you’re not 100% is really a great way to ease the discomfort and pressure of trying to overcome your brain being a jerk and just lets you be you.

did u know u can just be like "hey my brain is kinda fuzzy cause of x, y, z." so then the person youre with doesnt have to worry or guess about why u maybe seem a little off. thats so cool I love communicating

Checking in with some distant relations in Scotland & wrote: "My family is over the US: I'm in CA. Maternal 1Cs are in MD, GA & FL. Paternal half-sibs are in MI & HI.

Jesus Christ, do not under any circumstances think of it this way 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️
