Please consider adding "Donald Trump's healthcare plan"

My toxic personality trait is that I leave voicemails where I specify an email address rather than a phone number to call me back at.

Now that I've got one viral post going, I intend for this to become an insufferable woodworking and politics account.

Every American should have this in their wallet:

My first speech as a gubernatorial candidate was at UNITE HERE Local 23 because unions are one of the most effective ways to fight corporate greed and special interests. Everyone deserves a fair chance against policies that leave us behind.

In 2009, I had my first full-time job, writing Ruby. Then my employer let me expense a JavaScript masterclass with @amyhoy.bsky.social and @thomasfuchs.at. My whole career has been the good fortune of learning JavaScript well right as it became incredibly useful.

Where do I find all the tech and ex-teachers people who took up sewing? Thinking that might be my craft for next year.

Early in the Jiajing Emperor's reign, there was a cat in the Forbidden City with fine, curly fur that was all slate-grey save for two eyebrows of the purest white, for which the cat was named Frostbrows. (1)

So I'm leaving my job, effective in a few weeks. Mostly I'll be working on activism stuff, which is super exciting (more to share soon). But I also need a tech side project to keep my skills sharp. Having given up X/HN, I'm out of the loop. So: what exciting things should I be learning now?

Can't believe we ended up with the Type of Guy who is really into Roman history and also thinks we should shut off the grain dole When we could have had the Type of Guy who is really into Roman history and thinks we should make a go at land reform

The guts to make “this is the year of Linux on the desktop” your corporate strategy.

I have found a contractor who will give quotes and even schedule by email.

This is so easy: He washes up on shore, with full amnesia and no memory of who he is. The first person to find him (Hugh Grant) nurses him back to health on a diet of whodunnit mysteries. He develops an awkward Southern drawl. MI6 needs his help taking down the world's richest person.

Listening to Group Therapy and practicing stitching. Don't know how much those audiences normally overlap but let's go.

Friday night, so it’s Picture Fight! time in our house. I normally lose pretty badly, but this Teenage Grogu‘s First Starfighter turned out pretty good.

Become unnavigable.

I was once a young, very Catholic man, so I know with absolute certainty that JD Vance has already picked out a Latin reign-name that he intends to use. And I wouldn't be shocked it it was "Constantine".

My take: the current crop of MAGA anti-Trump media is the start of both the Russia- and tech-aligned subgroups of the coalition preparing for the transition to Vance. There will be a moment that feels like a step forward because Trump is out, but will actually be the start of the real conflict.

There, my friends, is an urban-suburban-rural, multiracial coalition.

I’m sitting at a progressive “election watch party for introverts” here in Atlanta and vibes are so good people are actually introducing themselves to each other.

RJL's latest—The Master of the Japanese Ghost Story—is now available! In this episode, we explore the enduring legacy of Greek/English/Irish/American/Japanese author Lafcadio Hearn and the ghost story "The Peony Lantern".

Our marchers in the Little Five Points Parade got a surprise visit from Rohit Malhotra, Indivisible ATL’s choice Atlanta City Council President. Polls open again Monday to vote @rohitforatlanta.bsky.social!

The Shiraz Haderach

“You can win elections by tacking to the middle; lots of people have. But you can also win elections by staking a moral position and convincing people to agree with you. You can earn support by demonstrating what is important to you instead of just being determined to nod along with what you hear.”

Love to see MARTA packed with #NoKings signs. Let’s go @indivisibleatl.bsky.social.

Come be brave with us!

Hank Green says show up to vote this year, Georgia! www.youtube.com/watch?v=UgvE...

WATCH: ‘Portland Frog’ pepper balled by ICE agents

Oregon National Guard Adjutant General, General Gronewold says if they are federalized, that he will advise the Title 10 commander to utilize National Guard Troops to PROTECT protesters at ICE facilities. This is the right answer.

Monday is the deadline for GA voter registration. They’ve kicked some folks off the rolls since last year, so be sure to check! It’s easy to check and register online: mvp.sos.ga.gov/s/

Today I walked 5 of the 15 miles of the Atlanta #UniteInLight route, talking to everyone who came out to protest against the administration’s cruel policies and in favor of basic decency and keeping our democracy. I thanked them for being out and asked them to vote, protest, and build community.

We’re gathering with other Indivisible’s and like-minded groups for Unite in Light Atlanta. There will be ppl stretching from Atlanta to where we are at Stone Mountain Village

See you Saturday at 6:30!

Lafcadio Hearn, subject of RJL’s next episode, was… cantankerous. He once quit his writing job by letter: “Please understand that your resentment has for me less than the value of a bottled fart, and your bank-account less consequence than a wooden shithouse stuck by lightning.”

Atlanta, meet your future. FIVE bold leaders running to shake up City Hall: 🌟 Kelsea Bond (D2) 🌟 Liliana Bakhtiari (D5) 🌟 Charles Bourgeois (D9) 🌟 Nate Jester (D11) 🌟 Rohit Malhotra (Council President) This is what the next generation of leadership looks like.

This is a no questions asked insta-buy for me.

Save the date! On Saturday, October 18, Georgia says no kings! More details coming soon.

Neutrality in this moment is complicity.

Trying to decide whether I get really into ham radio or LoRa.

I am manifesting that the Rohit campaign will start a BlueSky account next week. Rohit for Atlanta, y'all. rohitforatlanta.com

Are you in the Seattle area? Come see me at Third Place Books in Ravenna on Sept 16, 7pm. I'll be talking about and reading from my new book, followed by Q&A and a book-signing session. Would love to see you there. Check out the link for more info, to RSVP, and to pre-order a book for signing.

Amy Yamada (1959- )’s early writing is regarded as a part of Japan’s hip-hop culture boom. Her sometimes-problematic depictions of relationships with Black men make her work… complicated… especially in English translation. She’s also famous for her unabashed portrayal of women’s sexuality.

Sometimes I forget that programming itself is just fun. I'm moving @alisonfincher.bsky.social 's website from WordPress to Markdown files in @obsidian.md Publish. In the process, I wrote an Obsidian plugin that fixes up a bunch of weird issues with the export and adds metadata and whatnot.

good morning everyone we made some new How I'd Fix Atlanta stickers here's how you get some: how-id-fix-atlanta.ghost.io/a-new-sticke...

“The Upside of Jazz” with Joe Alterman, Saturdays at 7, on WABE. www.wabe.org/live/ I’ve never had appointment radio listening before. But now I do.

I am looking for US/Can *coastal* islands or communities that experienced zoning changes allowing *larger* SF homes to be built than previously. (*not* looking for upzoning eg's) Preferably last 5-20 years, but any cases welcome. You can reply, message me, or email me at [email protected]. Thanks!

I’ve been a father for 14 years. But I became a Dad(tm) this week. We got solar panels, battery backup, and a control panel installed. So now I can walk around the house turning on and off individual switches to see how much power they draw.

Gmail came out when I was a freshman in college and it marks a big shift in my self-memory. I can mostly ignore who I was in high school, but the person I was in college sometimes appears right in front of me while searching my email. I don't love it.

This is the most gangster shit. I love it. (揽佬SKAI ISYOURGOD's "Yin Guo")
