This is the kind of thing a rich CEO says at the beginning of a science fiction movie to establish for the audience that he is a sociopath and the villain.

I didn't prepare for work well. I forgot it was Saturday, and, because my residents at work aren't up for doing much, I'm gonna be super bored. In forgetting it's Saturday, I forgot to bring any of the letters I need to reply to or the books I'm studying. *Twiddles thumbs* *looks at mop* *sighs*

seeing people actually installing linux this week after getting sick of big tech's perversion of the computer is unironically giving me hope. we can live in harmony with the computer when we don't let parasites in big tech put their evil sludge in it

People resharing the video of dua lipa confronting Tim Cook to his face to ask if Apple still uses child labor in the DRC oh that was QUEEEN shit

White supremacy is a group project. Multinational multigenerational and it never gets tired. It never gives up. It just adapts to prioritize whichever group is the most vulnerable for extermination. We need to rip it out root and stem, but we refuse to confront reality and we all suffer for it.

The thru line from slavery to Asian Exclusion Acts and the War on Drugs and Mexican Repatriation and Jim Crow runs right into the War on Drugs, mass deportation, and private prisons. There is nothing more American than oppression. We have always had to fight for survival here. Always.

Ugh! why is the men's hockey gold medal game so early tomorrow?!

My Traveler's Notebook has been with me for a year now. So far I like it and will continue using it 👍🏻

If you see this, post a character that starts with T

Please be real, please be real, please be real

I hate it when I'm not happy at my job because I start fantasizing about working for the American Wool Council or buying a small herd of Bluefaced Leicester sheep.

Quesadillas are just a socially acceptable way to eat a fistful of shredded cheese

Gray nails for gray days

I finished reading an Agatha Christie novel I had skipped previously. I only read it because of a recent Netflix adaptation. But I took too long reading it and now I don't care about the adaptation.

Been saying this for a while!

New Pen Day, belated. I got my new Kaweco Brass Sport on Wednesday

I'm mad at myself for wasting postage. I was in a pinch and didn't want to go down to the post office, but I didn't have any international stamps and I had a letter destined for Canada. The international stamps are $1.70, normal forever stamps are $0.78 and I had to use 3 :/

Oof, the local Subaru dealership is running an AI generated ad during the Olympics

The USA and Slovakia uniforms are too similar, I've having trouble watching this hockey game.

Man, I grew up on Power Rangers, The Magic School Bus, Captain Planet, and generally people of different backgrounds and skills coming together to try to save the world and learn things. So like, how tf did we end up here?!

This was all in middle and high school. In elementary school, my rural and underfunded school showed us educational film reels from the 60s and 70s.

Say "meow" to this labor union cat, possibly owned by then @uaw.org President Walter P. Reuther. From the archives at the @reutherlibrary.bsky.social.

Movies I was shown in school on movie days or when the teacher was out: The Secret of NIHM Robin Hood (1973) Ice Age Mulan Romeo + Juliet and, senior year my English teacher got weird/bold after AP tests, so: Double Indemnity Koyaanisqatsi Dog Day Afternoon The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (1920)

Don't congratulate John Roberts or the Supreme Court. Congratulate Rick Woldenberg, the Chicago-area leader of Learning Resources, an educadtional toy company that had the courage to sue the president of the United States to save his family business. As well as everyone else who stepped up.

I must reiterate that the entire Pizzagate/Qanon conspiracy only came about in the first place because of allegations coming out from former Miss Teen pageant contestants, it was literally cooked up to defend a pedophile when news reports of his pedophilia came out, you owe conspiracists squat!

Providers say it marks the third death among patients who were receiving mobile, specialized treatment in less than three months since an Idaho Medicaid contractor cut the service. In the year and a half before the cut, providers say only one patient on the program died. #idleg #idpol

I’m always heartened to see fair critiques of leftist politicians in office from the left, because the actual embrace of democratic values like holding people in office accountable is one of the key differences between the right and the left

Good morning. Gaslighting is a very specific thing, the word you are looking for is “lying”. They are not interchangeable

Elon's PR team did a great job creating a persona of genius entrepreneur dreamer, and it lasted for a while, but that veneer is gone now. He's a turd who doesn't know what he's talking about. A complete bullshit artist.

Back in March LAST YEAR, ICE shot and killed a US citizen teenager through his car window, and it never admitted its role. ICE claims it was assisting traffic control (!?!) when the driver didn't follow its instructions. Fake cops. How many other killings are they concealing?

I don't care what people say. I still love Johnny Weir and Tara Lipinski

YOUR 2026 OLYMPIC GOLD MEDALISTS 🗣️

Just a regular reminder to please support your local theatre, café, bookstore, bakery, and library. We breathe life into these places when we support them. Without us, they can't survive, and truthfully, without them, neither can we.

Truly masterful

Replays of that superb pass from Taylor Heise and the goal from Megan Keller

i'm in lesbians with them also

Many of my students only knew Henry Ford for his cars, and did not know until I taught them how influential he was in circulating the Protocols, which makes me wonder if students a century from now will look at Elon Musk as nothing more than an eccentric car and rocket builder.

THE USA PLAYED IT LIKE A GOLD MEDALIST 🥇 Congratulations to the 16 PWHL players who will be bringing home the gold with Team USA!

USA wins in Women's Hockey!

Idaho youth are already experiencing consequences from a harmful so-called "parental rights" law signed in 2024. Contact Rep. Ehardt at [email protected] to demand a fix to the “Band Aid law” that allows suicide hotlines to hang up on kids in crisis. @babevote.bsky.social

DHS successfully—until now—covered up the murder of a third US citizen on Texas' Padre Island, the sort of thing that can only happen in GOP-ruled Texas. ICE agents shot and killed Ruben Ray Martinez, 23, last year, but DHS covered up the whole incident, Newsweek reports.

It feels misogynistic AND homophobic that the women’s hockey final and women’s figure skating free skate are happening at the same time.

THE JOKER (in his capacity as a podcast host): You agree Bats has completely lost it? GOV. GAVIN NEWSOM: I thi--this is THE JOKER: It's a simple question. Do you think Birdbrain is the real menace facing Gotham. NEWSOM: So, this is interesting. It's interesting. You may have something there,

That was quite an exciting last 15 or so minutes of play in the men's hockey USA vs Sweden. The end of the third period and then overtime was tense
