Uninteresting, nondescript, base-level white guys who've been the beneficiaries of every privilege and advantage their pigmentation and pronouns afford for 250 years are watching time, progress, and demographic changes coming to swallow them up... johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/mediocre-w...

Noah Wyle stopped by my office this week and we talked about how for profit medicine is putting money ahead of patients and workers - and how we need to do more to support health care workers when they see corners being cut and want to speak up.

Every summer I repost this article on how to spot drowning. Please read it and pass on. In the last few years I’ve had SIX messages from people who saved a kid’s life after clicking on the link from my feed. slate.com/technology/2...

To the random lady who walked into the intersection and stopped traffic so I could turn left and get my dead cat to the ER vet for CPR: I love you. Thank you, kind human. Even though he couldn’t be revived, your act of kindness will never be forgotten.

Fantastic idea that should be everywhere. See what they're doing in Seattle. #houseourneighbors, #seattle

Rep. Raskin: "Donald Trump's name is all over the underrated #EpsteinFiles... thousands of times." "If you spend time with these files you’ll see references to 17, 16, 14, 11, 10, 9-year-old girls." To make progress and find justice, we must listen to the survivors.

I already wonder what kind of post-DT America we will eventually have as a corrective swing. Will it be kind and empathetic? Will it jump at the chance to prove the amazing things that are possible...1/2

DAMN

Watch it twice. It gets funnier. Lololol

This kind man stopped his car to rescue a wild coyote that had been stuck in a fence for several days. 🙏🙏

I grew up in a region where they told us that if you wanted to make something of yourself, you had to get out. After I did, I began to understand what it means to be from somewhere.

We're with her. #ResistTrump

This guy nails it. 🎯

To all the white Republican professed Christians across this country: To hell with you... johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/to-hell-wi...

These are actual Freedom Riders, now elderly, sitting together decades after risking their lives to challenge segregation in the American South. On May 4, 1961, they rode buses south to defy illegal segregation in terminal facilities.

Once upon a time I bought programs that came in a box. I would install them on the computer and there they would stay until I uninstalled them. They worked the same way every day. I didn’t have to worry about some guy in Seattle or San Francisco rearranging the buttons and menus overnight.

I Fully Endorse this Idea….

“Do you support this kind of demonstration?” @justinjpearson.bsky.social : “Absolutely! What the hell else are we gonna do?” (From @MemphisForAll)

They call them "data centers" because “mass-surveillance centers” would be harder to sell.

I wish we all waved.

Damn I miss this guy. youtube.com/shorts/nILKd...

I was forced to the back of the bus. This ain't theoretical for me. I lived this shit.

This album is so freaking amazing, especially with decent headphones, since all I did was blast it back then. Raw, human and joyful. open.qobuz.com/album/eli0vz...

WATCH: “Did you advise the president we should attack Iran? Are you afraid to take ownership of this? How do you think the war is going?” @moulton.house.gov grills Hegseth

Amazing

My 14-year-old son is belting out "Don't Look Back in Anger" in the shower with a Bluetooth speaker. I bought that album when it came out. So freaking cool.

For 21 years we have given 50 Head Start kids a personalized bookcase and a starter set of books their parents can read to them. Bookcases 1001 through 1050 are in good hands. Tiny curious hands.

Every time BlueSky releases a new feature I scroll through the replies. No one says thank you. Everyone just demands other new features. This is a free service, thanking the people who work on it once in a while and complaining a bit less would be nice. We need more nice right now.

My favorite band of the past few years, and a top-level recording. If you like loud, beautiful human-made music.

WATCH — @aoc.bsky.social: “What law would you want to make?” 🔥 SMART KID: “🇺🇸 needs to let people go to the doctor free, because in other places they have it free.” #MedicareForAllNOW

I know that wishing for a return of the underlying respect and thankfulness I usually felt when traveling around the world (esp. China in 2007), I now just hope the next global hegemony is at the very least one that deep down believes in good.

To my non tech normies, PSA: when you share a link, everything after the ? is tracking. Those “query parameters” tell companies exactly how you arrived, what app you clicked, which ad or email sent you, sometimes a unique identifier tied to you. You can delete everything after the question mark.

Yes. 🫶 🌍

We're terrible neighbors right now, and it hurts to keep caring. Care anyway. You are needed.

Seattle at the golden hour last Monday. What a city.

Checking the Seattle news this AM.

The Seattle waterfront today. Fearing for my life again in this leftist hellscape.
