This type of smart, walkable, mixed-use urbanism is illegal to build in many American cities (...incidentally, it's very legal in Spirit Crossing)

President Donald Trump’s administration is withholding funding to help needy families with children in five states governed by Democrats. Officials cited fraud concerns as a reason for the action targeting California, Colorado, Illinois, Minnesota and New York.

The West Coast Health Alliance continues to recommend vaccination in alignment with the @AmerAcadPeds Child & Adolescent Immunization Schedule. This schedule is based on strong evidence of vaccine safety and effectiveness. Learn more: www.cdph.ca.gov/Programs/OPA... 1/5

they are recruiting for the worst, bottom-of-the-barrel chuds imaginable and those chuds are behaving exactly as you'd expect

They need to arrest the guy who did this before Noem just whisks him out of the state.

okay now that we've harassed several people off the platform in less than a week can we stop pretending that there any of the sites we all post on are better than the others. you can't solve the human problems of like, misogyny with technological solutions.

Greenland: new statement from France, Germany, Spain, UK, Poland, Denmark.

The fucking flu? The fucking flu that is at this moment killing many people?

A hacker known as Martha Root broke in and deleted three white supremacists websites at the end of a talk during the annual hacker conference Chaos Communication Congress in Germany.

Walked in on the seven-year-old watching a video on the science of worm hole enabled time travel.

This one is resonating today. #Andor

Same mistakes. Same arrogance. Same risks. We know where this road leads.

A List of Predictions Made in 1926 About 2026 🧵

Because I am ridiculous I put together scenes from my book in our Lego winter village, including building some MOCs and custom minis for it.

meanwhile.... medicine has taken INSANE leaps and bounds in the last 2 years. we're out here curing HIV and leukemia and creating 100% efficacy vaccines against all sorts of cancers, and now this?? between this and renewable energy outstripping fossil fuels in efficiency, the future is bright

I was walking through the LAX baggage claim and saw Mark Proksch walking toward me. We briefly made eye contact, and I could see him register that I was recognizing him and readying himself for it to Be Something, but then I politely looked away and walked past without bothering him.

My Lunar New Year piece for @calendarkrewe.bsky.social! Took a little creative liberty with the mount theme since technically anything can be a mount...

On the ninth day of winter break my children played a many hours long game of school.

A quick reminder: for just one more day, if you're in North America, you can snap up my cozy-spooky fantasy rom-com Wooing the Witch Queen for only $2.99 in ebook! Grab it now: stephanieburgis.com/books/wooing-the-witch-queen #romancelandia

We are on our second movie of the year where JK Simmons plays Santa (Klaus, first was Red One.)

Leo was happy to find snow.

Welcome, Twitter escapees/new Bluesky users. Four quick tips: 1. Starter packs are awesome. I made a game dev one here -> go.bsky.app/RxQCsKS 2. Bluesky's block is much more potent. Do not quote, or dunk. There's no pay-to-win so silence does remove nasty people. Blocks and move on copiously.

Why am I getting so many new followers? Did a big account link one of the video game starter packs?

Pleasantly surprised that Zootopia 2 was quite good.

I mean yeah it’s an authoritarian takeover but can we take some comfort in the fact that the people doing it are INSANELY stupid?

My SECOND book is now up for pre-order! A Curse for Christmas Past, a witchy twist on a Scrooge story, is coming September 22nd, 2026! www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/825969...

Bringing back Limewire to illegally rip copies of reporting suppressed by the government is definitely some cyberpunk shit

I have been putting together my own aerial chains rig, and I got the chains today from a legit rope and rigging type industrial place today, and it was the same place my instructor got hers, and her instructor got hers...

excuse me what

and tiny tim, who was NOT in the epstein files,

The year is 2035. There are three game studios left. Each one produces a game every 10 years, killing 250+ developers in the process. They all accidentally make the same game because they used genAI in preproduction. They sell 500 million units each, missing quarterly targets. Everyone is laid off.

Rick Steves once again proving to be one of the good ones.

I am once again bringing aerial chains to your timeline.

I'm watching a holiday romance miniseries based on a book I like (Twelves Dates til Christmas) and thinking about how so many of these are anchored by a woman, or women, with genuine acting talent but are surrounded by Men With Jaws.

An important addendum to "look for the helpers" is "and then join them."

This entire weekend

Just took a peek at the traffic cams in the general area I grew up in, and wow. whatcomcountywx.com/sumas-everso...

The flooding's so bad right now because we not only got two atmospheric rivers back to back, but it's too unseasonably warm in the mountains for it to turn into snow. So, all that rain is washing down the mountains and melting/running off what snow accumulation we had.

Aaron Rupar is proof that some of the best journalists *are* stenographers. The simple act of recording and publishing the words that they themselves utter - especially when they are as risible as Noem's - is profoundly important.

TIME magazine is owned by Marc Benioff, owner of Salesforce, who literally ran an AI agents puff piece about his ow company in the magazine. I’m unsurprised he thinks a bunch of grifters are person of the year, he thinks they’re cool

This is embarrassing. This guy knows it's horseshit.

My brother animated and illustrated this video a few years ago for the Skagit Climate Science group on why climate change is bringing more flooding to Skagit Valley like what we're seeing right now. vimeo.com/869198933?fl...
