Happy Valentine’s Day!

I’m going to call it done.

it’s so squishy

Thank you. My lord. Too many rubes (or worse, people playing rube) ignoring this shit. It's no different than your "AI microwave" that for some reason needs to be attached to your wifi. Everything is selling/using your data and giving you zippo in return.

10 pm bedtime total cultural victory

to me from me, valentine’s edition 💘 always the best from @fridaytea.com

Science journalism about vaccines and disease in 2026 in the US demands so much ethical reflection, forethought and care: it’s not the time or place for you to be playing with genre—the stakes are too high.

There are real risks to presenting a "hypothetical" story as "true" to an audience already doubtful of journalists and experts. bsky.app/profile/jasp...

Valentine's Day is almost over, which means it's now time to select one happy couple and sacrifice them to the old gods to guarantee a bountiful harvest

Happy Valentine's Day 💘

love this blog post. listening to this now 🥰 🎧

Happy Day to all those who celebrate!!

“In his vision, the front porch isn’t some fortress ringed by fear and suspicion; it’s a window to a wider world of neighbors, community, and joy, all washing up on one’s doorstep, inviting us out. I know which neighborhood I’d rather live in—and I know which one I’d trust to find my dog, as well” .

I really like this essay because it’s explicit that the neighborhood envisioned by people like Simonoff is truly dystopian. They lack a vision of anything that doesn’t involve racialized anxiety and fear, and that’s what they are trying to sell us.

I love this. "Local journalism often begins before a camera is rolling, before a live shot is framed, before a headline is written. It begins with proximity. With awareness. With someone deciding that what’s happening matters enough to go see it firsthand. It begins with showing up."

The best #ValentinesDay

this has been in my head since I heard it earlier. that kid in the brown hoodie is a fucking legend

will a cookie help my headache? only one way to find out

Be my valentine* *person who wanders too near to my forest dwelling and is cursed to live as a tree in my front garden for a century or so

Single on Valentine's Day just means a little more solitude this weekend.

so I did a search since the wikipedia is, uh, going through it and anyway, kids

DUCKIE FOREVER

I wrote for Collider for about 5 minutes and covered this in a doppelgänger list #FolkHorrorFriday #shameless #selfpromotion

Dude regularly works for Disney, DreamWorks, Netflix and CN so speculate away. But this sucks no matter which studio is doing it, and gross to think some major movie this year is running with a plagiarized image from ChatGPT.

suppose this is true, what happens then when those workers all lose their jobs - what happens to their mortgages, rent, car payments, retail purchases and the trickle-down effect on every business and every other worker? they’ve hoarded their wealth and fantasize about firing all of us, it’s wild.

It’s Feb 13th, All Vallow’s Eve

I'm no theologian but taunting hungry imprisoned children with food sure sounds like one of those things that substantially increases a person's likelihood of eternal damnation.

I interviewed a family of Russian asylum seekers who’ve been held more than four months at the Dilley detention center in Texas. As we spoke over Zoom this week, their daughter Kamilla was one day shy of turning 12. I asked her what she wanted for her birthday. She replied: “To get out of here.”

it can be done

I can be angry about rising fascism and also angry about facial recognition built into surveillance glasses at the same time, not only because these things are directly related, but because I contain fucking multitudes and all them are mad all the goddamn time.

if someone can come up with working adversarial garment that fucks with smart glasses, to almost any extent, I will not only buy it myself but promote it religiously ideally something that does lasting damage, but even compromising certain functions is better than nothing who is working on this??

Suburban wine moms will really be like "you believe in voting? that pales in effectiveness to my strategy, firebombing a concentration camp" and then very effectively firebomb a concentration camp

Billy!!!! 🥹

But there has not been a single thing that Trump has done in 13 months in office that has made things better for white people

The fatal flaw of racism is that it believes in a poverty of resources, opportunities and outcomes...

maybe this’ll get more folks to mask in public (fuck meta, fuck these glasses, fuck all this shit)
