A lot of anti-vaccine rhetoric accelerated during the pandemic - but for one anti-vax mom, it was a turning point back to vaccines. Loved this interview with Heather Simpson and @aboutpediatrics.bsky.social! www.wbur.org/hereandnow/2...

Just putting this out there for anybody with older loved ones: These are cool. No subscription, no camera or microphone. Literally just a display board you operate from an app. memoryboard.com?srsltid=AfmB...

Free the Rooster.

The richest assholes told the government to cripple the agency that collects taxes so they don’t have to pay anything, and they did it

Is Frito-Lay categorically refusing to buy potatoes grown on farmland that has hosted solar installations? No, the company says. That hasn’t stopped lawmakers in Michigan and Pennsylvania from spreading the false claim. www.canarymedia.com/articles/sol... #energysky

Throwback to when a TV station in Iceland accidentally aired an episode of Teletubbies with subtitles from the Sopranos 👌🏼

This should be on billboards and every Black radio station from September through November.

happy Pride Eve to all the people who are about to paraphrase this tweet from 2022 or repost it with my name removed as if it’s a thought they just had themselves

I want Hollywood to make a movie where a person with chronic pain that was denied medical care from their insurer, kidnaps the CEO and makes them experience all the same pain.

Not only is this $300B of our money to reopen a shipping lane that was already wide open for free but the entire SNAP budget is $100B/year and I was told we couldn’t afford to feed American children fruits and vegetables

on this day 105 years ago in 1921 the Tulsa Race Massacre began when white supremacists destroyed Tulsa's Greenwood district. This group of citizens destroyed 35 blocks of "Black Wall Street", killed 300, and left 10,000 Black citizens homeless.

We are doing solid on enrollment this year but we could do better. Doesn't your kid deserve us, really, when you think about it?

Shame on this bigot. open.substack.com/pub/islamtod...

I just spent a couple of days in Indianapolis and there was a serviceberry tree/bush in the yard of the rental house. AND they were ripe. Did I fill a takeout box with them to bring home? I did! Yum! I need to plant some of those.

Private equity ruins everything.

On this day in 1943, white sailors and soldiers in Los Angeles attacked Latino youth wearing zoot suits, beating them with belt buckles and ropes and stripping them of their clothes.

Oh hell yeah @amnesty.org comes out swinging: "Amnesty International finds that standalone generative AI systems... are fundamentally incompatible with IHRL. As such, Amnesty International is calling for a prohibition of such systems." www.amnesty.org/en/documents...

Billionaires and CEOs, from Wall Street to Silicon Valley, are warning America about the rise of anti-capitalism. But the system/administration they're profiting from right now isn't actually capitalism, in the first place. New episode with @stephruhle.bsky.social and @timmiller.bsky.social:

In the book Computer Power and Human Reason, Josepeh Weizenbaum wrote about “civil courage”: “Every individual must act as if the whole future of the world, of humanity itself, depends on him. Anything less is a shirking of responsibility and is itself a dehumanizing force..."

This should bring down the government. Like, this afternoon.

@60minutes.bsky.social should move to @pbsnews.org and return to being mercenary with telling the truth.

Being an American during the 250th Aniversary of the United States feels a lot like if the terrorists in Die Hard demanded that the hostages continue having their Christmas party.

Vermeer’s Girl With The Pearl Earring will be shown in Osaka, later this year, and the press conference was as Japanese as you’d expect #Vermeer

Let's get ready to B-U-M-B-L-E! The 2026 Scripps National Spelling Bee kicks off NOW. We started with millions of spellers around the world, and now it comes down to just 9 spellers. Who will take home the Scripps Cup? We're about to find out! Bee Week, best week! 🐝 #spellingbee

This is unsustainable. Americans are being buried financially by the wealthy - and their own government is actively contributing to the situation. #Economy #Affordability

The success of @pablo.show and @minakimes.bsky.social are the two of brightest spots in broadcast media for me right now. Just extraordinary talents, fantastic people who’ve been true to themselves and carved a path. Media is laughably far from a meritocracy so it’s great to see deserved success.

I spent two hours yesterday at Delaney Hall in Newark where 700 detainees are being held by ICE. What I saw and heard was horrific: worm-infested food and no access to medical care. Many of the detainees were lawful visa holders. This is not America. This is unacceptable, and it has to stop now.

The U.S. knows no end to its cruelty. youtu.be/QmwL6dg-Xlo?...

These words are so hard! #ScrippsSpellingBee

Solidarity with E. Jean Carroll and all survivors who face legal retaliation and criminal prosecution for speaking the truth. This is both remarkable and utterly unsurprising. Survivors have been jailed, retraumatized, harassed, and sued into silence for far too long.

I love watching the @scrippsbee.bsky.social. These kids are so smart and polished. They’re all champs in my book.

From Book to Film continues this weekend with Where the Wild Things Are (2009) from director Spike Jonze. The 2026 program is made possible thanks to the generosity of Larry and Donna James and in partnership with the Columbus Metropolitan Library. Full lineup: https://bit.ly/3wudBGh

The Squamish people of what is now Vancouver were illegally dispossessed of their land 100 years ago. They sued, got the land back, and used their sovereignty to ignore local zoning and build 6,000 new homes over the loud objections of nearby wealthy NIMBYs. Now other tribes are getting in the game.

I’m 56 years old. I can confirm.

I’m feeling thankful for my native rain garden today! My goodness, it’s coming down,
