Walking out on break from the busiest afternoon rush I've ever seen at the airport to have the frigid mountain air just absolutely sandblast the fatigue off of me. The winter I've been denied.

hahaha seriously though we should charge these people as child sex traffickers

This is…a lot. In addition to her husband being investigated, the Labor Secretary herself is also being investigated for “having an inappropriate sexual relationship with a subordinate—a member of her security detail—and abusing her office by taking staff to strip clubs…”

You know, I've based a monster on this plant that my players absolutely fucking hate. It's even better once you've seen one of the seeds germinating.

It is essential to take the threat to women’s voting rights posed by the SAVE Act within the wider context of coercive and misogynistic views on the right. I wrote about it for @liberalcurrents.com www.liberalcurrents.com/we-need-to-t...

“If you feel a sudden pain in your leg, that’s me kicking you under the table so you’ll shut the fuck up” is a real part of depositions prep, by the way.

The flexi cube fidgets are some of our most popular toys for the restless neurodivergents in your life. (Or in your head!) This autumn brick one is perfect for folks who love earth tones. thebrokencircle.etsy...

I thought this was hyperbole but nope. Literally what he says and the mic picked it up clearly.

For my @xtramagazine.com column this month, I explained why Gavin Newsom's flirtation with anti-trans policy won't win a single conservative or centrist vote for him and also makes him a non-starter for trans lefties. xtramagazine.com/power/politi...

fuck every harper's letter signatory

AI ads being racist, No. 3,658

Danny Citrinowicz was formerly head of the Israeli defense intelligence Iran branch. As he puts it: “‘Mowing the lawn’ may work against non-state actors. It is not a sustainable strategy against a large, sovereign state.” He argues for “strategic patience”—which is not Trump’s strong suit.

From Iran’s perspective, these various US and Israeli strikes make the case for their perceived need for nuclear capability, so it’s difficult to see how such strikes would result in the leaders of the Iranian regime agreeing to the very concessions Trump is demanding in that regard.

Last week Donald Trump registered the trademark "Donald J. Trump International Airport." This week Florida Republicans voted to rename Palm Beach International Airport Donald J. Trump International Airport," putting taxpayers on the hook for licensing fees that go straight to him

Pan-resistant TB is right up there w/Marburg virus and Ebola Zaire going airborne w/their same lethality-but the RØ of measles. Or of measles developing the ability to escape our vaccine for it. This is a potential nightmare situation, and this administration is all for it. They MUST be stopped.

Success. Now I shall bury myself under blankets and put on a panel show or something comparably low effort.

Folk music’s going pretty hard these days…

"It’s critical to understand here that heterosexual predation falls neatly within and reinforces the boundaries of misogyny/male supremacy.... It’s why Trump was electable. It’s why Jeffrey Epstein could be Jeffrey Epstein."

BEHOLD THE GOATS

every high profile anti trans critic has an origin story that goes "years ago someone asked me to respect trans people and instead I chose to go insane"

MAGA is trying to claim the sky for itself - which means that other legitimate drone users, including journalists reporting on ICE abuses, are being shut out. My latest for Foreign Policy: foreignpolicy.com/2026/02/12/u...

I've spent nearly two decades researching GoFundMes for people in the creative fields. Someday, it'll be my turn to have a medical bill that I have no way of paying. Darrell is a good guy. If you can, chip in or share.

Let's learn some surprising things about hummingbird tongues. First, as you can see, their tongues are forked & feathery, highly specialized for lapping up their liquid diet of nectar. But it gets weirder up close!

what I want people to feel, when they look at South Korea and the UK and Brazil holding elites accountable, is that it's possible here too. Elect true leaders this year and in 28, empowered - but also driven by us, the people - to hold the criminals accountable for their crimes. It's possible.

THE UNBOXING IS UPON US

Friends, we're hot on the heels of a terrific forum at the meeting of Princeton/West Windsor Democrats. On my first outing, I finished 3rd out of 17 candidates. It's a pretty good start. So...please join me for my very first Princeton meet-and-greet! partiful.com/e/lskdUTn4n0...?

I'm gonna repeat my comment. Talking about nonexistent "super intelligent" machines is like talking about the Cookie Monster rather than corporations creating real things causing harm. A non existent machine god bringing apocalypse or utopia is a framing that is harmful. Period.

I didn't know you could make a Cybertruck look uglier, but I learn new things every day

In the concentration camp universe, this is what's known as a filtration camp. A government preemptively takes a whole class of people to interrogate and detain extrajudicially in order to inflict duress on them while arbitrarily assessing their (supposed) culpability.

Of all the things we are doing in MN, this one is just beyond. Imagine being released from hell alone in the cold. And a total stranger has waited all night with a blanket just to be ready to hug you and carry you home. Every job we do is crucial, but this one is what restores humanity and dignity.

Normalize laughing derisively in men's faces when they deserve it.

Laughing at journalists who say if Bluesky was nicer to them there’d be more journalists here like…you don’t know your audience AT ALL. Trying to shame Bluesky into behaving the way you personally want is like trying to keep a cat off a counter. That cat is gonna be on the counter EVEN MORE now.

This audience doesn’t want any and every journalist. They want a type of journalist who isn’t lying about the fact that media can’t be unbiased, who values morality and ethics over clicks and overlord messaging. And who is honest about the world. If you can be that, you’re most welcome here.

And after all that, the Pitt/Cruise AI fight scene appears to have been just digital BG and face replacement on multi-angle green screen reference videos of two real live human stuntees fighting. In other words, like most AI hype — it was a con. www.shokunin.studio/blog/2026/2/...

On top of everything, a huge amount of this supposedly "inevitable" "A.i." revolution is just a dirty fucken scam.

Moon and Mercury setting next to the Griffith Observatory just moments ago. Found a good spot to take photos. #Photography #Astrophotography

I want to help Marie complete her utter domination by getting her the resources she needs. If we could print her tens of thousands of red cards, I have faith that she would distribute them ALL. So help us help Marie. www.gofundme.com/f/fund-whist...

Very excited for "Why does the left hate AI so much? Is it because they're stupid and don't understand it?" to evolve into "Why does the Right hate AI so much? Do they need tax breaks? What do we not understand about them? Do they have too few sweet kisses from papa?"

this is what your inseam looks like

“my children might see the children I voted to put in shackles, how shall they grow up”

Tbh, fuck this position. A transphobe in dems clothes is still a transphobe. None of us are free until all of us are free.

I warned that Paragon Health Institute would weaponize the DOGE Medicaid data release. Yesterday they published a brief targeting HCBS, autism services, medical transportation, and addiction treatment, core services disabled people rely on, as inherently fraudulent. www.patreon.com/posts/151112...

ALWAYS BE RESKEETING #DUNESKEETS I have been enjoying this symphony's performances since lockdown. I finally got my wish.

okay you know what we're doing this why rise of skywalker is the worst crime ever committed against cinema and the very concept of a coherent fictional universe: a thread

I'm pretty jealous of the penguins who got to enjoy the "ring of fire" annular #eclipse over Antarctica today... 🐧 Luckily I have an eclipse lineup to console myself: totality socks, jewelry, and eclipse glasses 😉 🔗 sciencesocks.co/coll...#eclipse 🔭🐡🧪🎨
