Thank you, Minnesota.

Just thinking back to when we gushed over Tim Cook for rightly not putting his hands on the hips of women he was being photographed with. Now he has his picture taken with sexual predators and allows non-consensual porn on the App Store.

Never let Tim Cook forget this. Gutting his own reputation at the end of a checkered career leading Apple. Below: a post by @moltz.bsky.social from Mastadon

Tim Cook once again has me checking out Linux distributions and hardware to run them.

Just another day of making donations and printing whistles.

The first two shots were non-lethal. The third was. If you've seen the video you know the third shot was taken from the side of the car, when Ross was in no danger. minnesotareformer.com/2026/01/21/r...

shame on Apple and Google for allowing that app on their stores

I miss having a leader who could speak eloquently and quote people other than himself or the sycophantic characters who populate his imagination. youtu.be/btqHDhO4h10?...

President Trump mandates a return to steam power, claiming "Electricity has been very rude to me."

everybody calm down, air force one had to turn around because president trump accidentally flushed his tie down the toilet and his face is pinned to the seat. he's panicked and squealing. karoline leavitt tried to help but she transforms into a bat after 10pm and can't lift him with her tiny wings.

I feel like when you use something called the "xForce Portal" the result should be a lot cooler than just dropping a 1099 into your Downloads folder.

Me seeing a Star Trek character appear on the bridge as a hologram but interact with the room: "It makes no sense! Is the room they're in exactly the same?! So stupid!" Me watching Paul Giamatti hologram in, be a creep and absolutely chew up every last piece of the scenery: "... OK, I'll allow it."

“Bank evidence for future prosecutions…” During the worst years of Colombia’s conflict, human rights groups kept databases and archives of abuses. That’s where we are now. Later, when a Truth Commission and special tribunal could hold abusers accountable, those archives were essential evidence.

I haven’t seen this beauty enough over here

I will personally keep this store afloat.

You can do this. You can do SOMETHING.

This was nowhere more apparent than watching Mayor Frey saying he watched the video and it clearly was not self defense while the Fox News chyron below said "ICE agent fatally shoots woman in self-defense".

40 years ago this night I had dinner with some friends in Roppongi, stayed out late, then missed the last train out of Tokyo. So, I went to a Denny's, ordered coffee after coffee and wrote the first funny thing I recall writing. Wherever tonight finds you, I hope you can turn it into something good.

If Disney execs really wanted to see a nude Mr. Incredible that badly I could have told them to just search on DeviantArt like the rest of us and have saved them a billion dollars.

Seems like Friday night news dumps come earlier and earlier every year.

Ask me how much I spent on political donations in 2024 and what I got for that! Haha sob

I don't love it but if me having to pay $6,000 more next year for health insurance means that Schumer goes, I'll take it.

HEY! Did you vote for the Mayor of Seattle and think that you're DONE with this election already? Well, I'm here to tell you you're NOT! There's 1,794 ballots from Seattle alone that aren't counted due to signature issues! But good news: you can check and FIX IT if it's you!

This is an all hands on deck moment to save health care. If you got a notice this month that your health insurance premium is going up by $500 or maybe even $1,000, send me your story: www.warren.senate.gov/health-care-...

We are a family of three and are currently on a bronze-level healthcare plan purchased from the WA state marketplace. If we want to get the same plan next year it will cost us $500 more... ...per month.

Kleya: "They shut it down. They shut down the broadcast."

Anecdotally, I felt this yesterday. There were three protests in Tacoma alone. I went to what I figured would be the smallest one and it was packed along the street, a much higher turnout than I expected. bsky.app/profile/chri...

Great crowd at the Point Defiance #nokings protest in Tacoma. Lots of cars driving by and honking and people cheering. Street was lined for several blocks with a big crowd by the park roundabout. It felt good to be a part of it. Seems the downtown crowd was even bigger. Gave away some stickers!

Today in politics.

Some believe that when you die the last thing that happens is producer Simon Tillotson asks if you want tea or coffee.

Attention WA residents: Defense experts are looking for people to sign in support of this bill before 7am PST tomorrow which gives judges the discretion to reduce long sentences if ongoing incarceration no longer serves the public good. app.leg.wa.gov/csi/Testifie...

I have been informed it is Threshold Day 🦎🦎🦎 A day of unmitigated lust! But such darling baby lizards…

Is it a Christmas miracle when you barely stop the dog from chewing up the best present you got your spouse right after you put it under the tree? Feels like maybe it is.

TRUMANG

Did everyone else know there's another way to hold your shoulders other than hunched up tightly toward your ears because of all the stress?! I forced mine down and I was like what the hell?!

Good stuff: “Do we go into social media and post, ‘Oh my goodness, I can't believe this awful thing happened?’ Or do we post, ‘People are being really brave in the face of resistance, we're going to keep doing it?’ Those are different tones, ways of analyzing the same moment. We have a choice.”

I once blocked a man from Reno just to watch him cry.

At Bolts, we have a special lens: we cover the local offices that govern voting rights, courts, & criminal justice. Under Trump, this work will be so crucial. Far-right sheriffs that ICE will tap. Elections offices under pressure. Reform DAs facing retaliation. Why we need your support. ⤵️ ⤵️ ⤵️

You’ve been kidnapped. The characters from the last tv show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who’s coming to save you? (I like my chances.)
