Mamdani is not just filling the potholes with the crew. He's creating a visual and personal reminder of the dignity inherent in all of these anonymous government jobs.

A reminder that when you screencap and disseminate Trump's insane posts, rather than either filtering them or even just -- golly gee!! -- quoting them, you are serving as willful data mules for his propaganda system.

I scored some fiddlehead ferns at the farmers market today. Now I’ve just gotta figure out what to do with them. (Suggestions welcome)

“WE WERE ALL EAGERLY AWAITING THE CHORUS”

Means testing costs money and burdens clients as well as service providers. It's the red tape conservatives claim to hate. Excluding the rich makes the service feels like charity to those who qualify, and it ensures that those who don't qualify have no stake in protecting the program.

I don’t know that I’ve ever hated anything as much as my dog hates baths.

Today I learned … 🧵

"i have two Microsoft Outlooks, and neither one of those are working." The Astronauts truly representing us all up there.

the level of pent-up horniness for a rocket launch that doesn't benefit or involve elon musk exceeds even my high expectations

Here are my top 10 WORST dogs!

this is a place of honor. something extremely cool is buried here.

Moxie met a new buddy today who is about the size of her head.

"We will not forgive you motherfuckers for all you're doing"

Oh my god, the alt text is a gift. 😹

In public treat axis nationals or quislings coldly.

Oh thank god

I needed to read this today ❤️

Re: my last reposts “Do not put money in the pocket of a woman who has sworn publicly to use it to disenfranchise vulnerable populations” is the smallest ask imaginable. It’s not oxygen, it’s not food. It’s television. You can do without. There are thousands of other shows for you to watch.

If you're also a fan of "The Wire," "We Own the Streets," Baltimore, & the people of Baltimore, this unique analysis tapped out by @audacityofdespair.bsky.social *on the subway* is well worth your time. (Thanks to @petersagal.bsky.social for flagging the thread: he remains a public media mensch.)

Me, calling the Parks Department: "Hi, my husband and I signed up for a class that was cancelled. I'd like the refund for both accounts to go to this credit card." Operator: "Is your husband okay with that? Because he's listed as head of household." Me: ... MA'AM WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME?

You know it’s nearly the end of the quarter when you start getting twice daily fundraising emails from the same candidate.

Project Hail Mary: Aliens are killing our planet. Bugonia: We are killing our planet.

Pour one out for FedRooms, I guess.

Just watched Hail Mary and I am here to tell you there is no good reason for that movie to have a 2 hour and 46 minute run time.

The birds in this tree are freaking out. I wonder what’s got them upset? Oh …

Within five minutes of hearing a continuous loop of We Built This City, I would give you my birthdate, my PIN, and my mother's maiden name just to make it stop.

This whole thread is a pleasure to read. “They have brought the profession into disrepute” is a particular favorite here.

It would be a fucking delight if it turns out the fountain of youth is a vaccine

This is Amy Madigan and Ed Harris refusing to applaud Elia Kazan's honorary Oscar in 1999. During the Blacklist Era, Kazan named names. Good on Amy and Ed.

This is the future liberals want

This is one of those sentences that starts great and gets more awesome with every word

Part of public service is being accountable to the public. At a certain level, the choices you make are of public interest. That’s what FOIA is for and it is good. I’ve had my work FOIA’d & while it’s not fun to have your work picked over - that’s the job.

Behold my “blueberry “ muffin Bastards

"Heroes" Part two of five. Every page, every blog post, every UI string — translated into Spanish. Bowie recorded "Heroes" in three languages. For now, two is más que suficiente. 😊 juliasolorzano.com/blog/2026/03...

The temperature got up to 85 degrees on Tuesday. Today it’s snowing. Guess we’re not gonna get a Spring this year either.

As a replacement may I suggest Virginia by Clipse: youtu.be/f7gIBB7jKc0?...

This is actually not all that different from how focus groups and surveys usually works. Like, I hate AI as much as the next person, but focus groups and surveys has always been glorified scams that manufacture statistics that reinforce your bullshit. A form of social engineering really.

That is like 113 bathtub shrimps! #iykyk

I’d heard about swing dancing at Glen Echo Park for years but had never gone until last weekend. We stayed for almost 3 hours. Went to bed and slept for 7 hours straight—no waking up in the middle of the night. I’ve had terrible insomnia for YEARS. I feel like I’ve just discovered the Holy Grail.

On the contrary, force ICE to use these cars

I am old enough to remember the fuel shortages in the 1970s and the ridiculously long lines at the gas station. So cool we’ve decided to do that again.

When the Dems retake the House, they should force every one of those DOGE bros to testify and if there is any grounds for prosecution to do it swiftly. Techies need to have inputs that enforce consequences on their actions.

The only power voters have in an election is their vote. Saying they won't vote for the guy who abuses houseless people and hangs out with Ben Shapiro isn't giving the election to Donald Trump, its pressuring the democratic party to put forward a candidate that doesn't fucking suck.

OK first of all, "WITH A JUDICIAL FINGER IN THE CONSTITUTIONAL DIKE" is an all-time banger. Also, "31st day of February, 2026"?

This is what happens when you put the laziest people on the planet in charge
