Zach De La Rocha: Hey Florence, heard you started a band. Who with? Florence:….

Every day, we're pursuing small changes that make a huge difference: like building a map of licensed childcare providers in New York City at @ nyc.gov/childcare.

Dilman always comes up with great stuff.

BONE & BLOOD, my latest retold fairy tale, will be available in just a few weeks! Preorder at www.amazon.com/dp/B0DXFPLQW... The alt text for the teaser text image is spread across both images bc it was too long for just one. Sorry about that! <3 #booksky #preorders #fantasy #romance #FairyTales

Our AI dystopias failed to properly predict the future, imagining a future where AI will enslave us, rather than a future where we use AI to enslave ourselves.

PURE HELL was the first Black punk band. They lasted from 1974-1979, but a falling out with their manager meant their record didn’t come out until 2010. I gave it a listen: www.lazyandentitled.org?p=162658013

New York City police officers rescued a bald eagle in distress during a patrol along the Hudson River. The authorities took the injured bird to a rehabilitation center in New Jersey, which is working to stabilize it to allow for further testing and treatment. nyti.ms/3OQvGtC

Nazi parallels are wrong and you should never make one.

ZamaShort has switched to a more stable Euros based model over a USD one previously used, you will notice a slight increase in prices, some currencies, like USD, slightly more than others. The standing 50% less for all African currencies at our own shop remains.

Massive.

It may be too late for you but if you or your kids are under 45 but especially 9-14 and they get the HPV vaccine they will be protected against cervical, anal, throat (oropharyngeal), vaginal, vulval, and penile cancers, as well as common genital warts.

New York City turned OUT. @handsoffnyc.bsky.social ✊❤️

1 - About well intended posts such as what happened to Renee Good is what black people are going through and have been going through since the birth of this nation this is what I have to say:

Looks like ICE is now cracking down on … Native Americans. This letter was just posted by the chairman of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe in North/South Dakota: “Our Nation is a sovereign government and our members are not immigrants. We are not subject to immigration enforcement on our own lands.”

@moudhy.bsky.social sorry, fan boying here… reading the chapter where you mention extispicy and remembered I’d published this little ditty last year. Thought it might elicit a chuckle. vector-bsfa.com/2024/10/06/a...

“This will allow us to build the ‘Dream Military’ that we have long been entitled to,” Trump wrote.

Now get out there and get fucked up. “During the Middle Ages the Christmas season lasted forty days, until Candlemas on 2 February, and January was supposed to be a month of feasting, not fasting – the exact opposite of the modern ‘Dry January’. ” Excerpt From Winters in the World Eleanor Parker

I've got 99 problems and every one of them is a name of Allah.

An interesting thing is how the modern Hebrew word for police officer is used in the Exodus to describe people who are essentially kapos—Israelites who collaborated with the Egyptian enslaver as low-level overseers.

Oh no🙀 Hoomom is dancing to get our day started. You should try it... youtu.be/k9olaIio3l8?...

I didn't expect the Monster to be Nietzschean, but then what else could he be?

Never miss an oppprtunity to recommend a great book.

OK: Europeans/US/Turkey invade Syria - 14 year-long conflict ensues - 700000 dead, because Bashar Al Assad is bad. Not OK: US strikes Venezuela - captures the president - worst form of imperialism imaginable, Maduro is a saint. Not saying either are good. I'm just saying.

Some of the comments on the Venezuelan strike surprise me a little, namely: he didn’t seek congressional approval. Is your issue with the strike or the legality of it?

Hate to say it but striking Venezuela and capturing Maduro are not unamerican. They’re the most American things we could do.

Ten of my facebook friends all have their birthday today. Five are Senegalese One is Burkinabese One is Nigerian One is South Sudanese One is Mexican One is Nigerien Only one of these birthdays is real. Which one and why?

When you really wanna market your product as Marvel, but can’t afford the licensing fees.

You’re welcome.

Ok. Just found out that Mark Paul Gosselaar is half Indonesian and not even blond and now I need to rethink my whole life and 2026 barely just started.

In this year’s #PlanetaryHealthCheck (www.pik-potsdam.de/en/news/late...), the #OceanAcidification boundary has been assessed as breached for the first time. What does this mean? Nice explanatory piece in “Dialogue Earth”, with input from PIK researcher Levke Caesar. dialogue.earth/en/ocean/exp...

Perry Bamonte, a guitarist and keyboard player in the Cure, has died. He was 65.

Every fart you make, moves the universe further a quarter of an inch. Don’t give up on your dreams. @thesurrealari.bsky.social all in good fun.

Couldn't let the holiday season pass without this (in my not-so-humble opinion) now classic gem!

@faineg.bsky.social hi Faine how are you? I have some questions regarding surveillance drones for military purposes. I work for the UN. I would have DM’ed but I can’t. Would be grateful if I could pick your brain when you have a minute. Thank you.

Absolutely love what they did with Terry Pratchett’s The Watch. Love that it’s unabashedly punk. Love what they did with Vimes. Love what they did with Angua. Love what they did with Cheery who might just be the best character. And am absolutely crazy for Lady Sybil. That show needs a second season.

I wanna congratulate Senegalese designers for designing a logo for the Dakar 2026 Youth Olympics with a South African flag on it. Way to go guys. Way to go.

I respect Death Metal and extreme metal artists most, not because I like their music more, but because they have zero pretensions for stardom. They do it for the love of music.

I’ve read probably thousands of tweets and written a few dozen blueksy posts and hundreds of Facebook posts, but apparently that’s not literature.

This book is absolutely fantastic and you owe it to yourself to read it. @moudhy.bsky.social thank you for this.
