remember back when we all doodled the current thing for warmups? we could bring that back, maybe, that was fun

Between this and Bad Bunny’s statement it’s surprising to me how celebrities’ messaging is on the same back-foot as democratic politicians. He probably didn’t mean it like this, but a lot of people will interpret this as: lefties and dems are welcome to the church.

You can test new tech ideas using the Seinfeld Test Would the product eliminate the plot of an episode? (Google maps, cell phones, paypal, battery packs) Good tech. Would the product inspire new Seinfeld plots? (NFTs, AI chatbots, crypto currency, blindboxes, metaverse land sales) Bad tech.

That’s my senator!

Hey Siri, what’s the perfect encapsulation of late stage capitalism? www.theverge.com/policy/86857...

Nice layout of the basics. We’re so far from them it’s easy to forget

As far as I know, Tom Suozzi here still does not have a primary challenger in his district (NY-3 on Long Island). The filing deadline is April 6 for the primary on June 23, and if there's a remotely progressive town council member or PTA president in that district, this is the time to make a move.

Timberwolves hold a moment of silence for Alex Pretti

Live footage of Hannah Arendt's dichotomy between violence and power.

Here’s the report from KARE. The boy is five-year-old Liam Ramos.

Weirdly compelling watch

“nobody is insider trading off his death so it almost certainly didn’t happen” really sums up the state of the world in 2026 huh

I just woke up from a nap and somehow while I was asleep, everyone on the bus has figured out we are not going to the right place

The “Trump is playing chess” assertion is such an insult to everyone’s intelligence

you know this guy is a FOR REAL photographer because he's telling the story of his brutal, unconditional arrest by federal goons and can't help but slip in a gear review

For @msnownews.bsky.social, I wrote an article about how ICE Watch is grounded in sociological theories of violence prevention. The reality is that most men will only commit public violence in extremely specific scenarios and ICE Watch disrupts the conditions necessary for escalation.

No posts. Let’s block them so hard it stays that way

I’m a pretty sanguine person in general, but this morning I’m just angry. Not in an aimless angry-at-the-world way, but angry at very specific people and systems. Angry in a focused goal driven way.

Oh yeah, Massachusetts is prepping. Apparently this bakery had anti-ice cookies and received death threats. They won't be open their usual hours tomorrow. Not out of fear, out of baked goods. They completely sold out and need to spend tomorrow restocking. fallriverreporter.com/massachusett...

Ah jeez. Reps coordinating ICE reports. It’s getting bad, bad.

With a hat tip to @mtsw.bsky.social for his posts about messaging and editing, I made this (very rough) example of what such an ad might look like.

“I don’t feel as though fate looks upon you often, and when it does, you better be ready to seize the opportunity” Nice

This is the first time I’ve noticed national battery capacity getting a headline. It’s an interesting metric to keep in mind

I feel the same way about Mr. Beast

As an atheist it's very frustrating to have my non-belief in the antichrist tested in this way

The people of Minneapolis are hounding immigration agents wherever they pop up. Earlier today:

Turning testing ourselves into idiocracy

Why am I getting advertisements in. English for a dental clinic in Hungary?

NYC — tonight at 6pm, Foley Square

Something interesting you might not have realized: a number of words in English are NOUNS when you stress the FIRST syllable, but VERBS when you stress the SECOND syllable. "Your CONduct is better when you conDUCT yourself appropriately.” 🧵⬇️

16 hours in, my guess this was all intended basically as a coup to put VP Delcy Rodriguez in power (likely without her knowledge but 🤷). At least for democracy & human rights, that might be even worse than the "opening shots in a war" scenario. All speculation, but let me explain:

Folks, she brought a whole plate of spaghetti to the broadcast center to do her headshot. She then houses that spaghetti. Mattia sips on an espresso during his. Truly the heroes we need during these times.

If you are a resident of California, the state now has a portal where you can demand deletion of your personal data from 500+ registered data brokers with a single request form, for free. consumer.drop.privacy.ca.gov

Repeatedly typing “visibly thicker hair” into google just to see what happens to the ads I see

It’s so funny to me when people on LinkedIn post like it’s Facebook (or Bluesky). I just saw an old colleague post an AI generated image of a postbox with a dire warning about GOP delay voting. I thought LinkedIn was just for finding a job and posting corpo-speak aphorism

Accurate.

low stakes posting today reminds me that 1) Facebook is for talking to people you know IRL but don’t like and 2) microblogging sites are for talking to people you don’t know but do like. we forget these things at our peril

Sorry @spavel.bsky.social for dumping this thread into your replies. I guess it’s something I didn’t know I wanted to talk about

The Trump administration is trying to cut off access to gender affirming care. I am with the transgender and nonbinary community in this moment of anger and fear. We cannot, and will not, let this stand.

Wait, did they really release a page that was completely redacted except bill Clinton’s name?

Listen, I know it was in a major newspaper or something, but I have no need to read a bunch of neo-nazi gen zers.

When you lose shitfaced middle-American teenage bros, you have lost America.

if tumblr dies I need this video to make it's seasonal rotation here instead just in case, Happy holidays 🎄

The sandwich story is ultimate Brooks

Don't steal pies this Christmas.

This looks ridiculous fun

Someone on here predicted local police forces would start getting territorial. With this and the Minneapolis police, I wonder if that’s starting to happen. It’s not like these PD’s are particularly strong constitution defenders
