The destruction of NATO from the inside. Some European officials suspect this is the real aim of the hardline MAGA faction. Since Congress won't allow Trump to exit NATO, occupying Greenland could force the Europeans to. If Trump wants to end NATO , this might be the most convenient way to do it.

Hi folks, I'm seeing a lot of "Eyes on Minneapolis" & "We support Minnesota" sentiment. Here's a tangible way you can help: Trump just suspended federal funding for SNAP benefits to Minnesota. Second Harvest Heartland is an MN-based hunger-relief org. Please donate what you can. www.2harvest.org

This morning when my alarm went off: "Nooo I don't want to get up, my country suuuucks" with all the attitude of a teen who doesn't want to go to school.

regular arts access for kids is linked to everything from increased literacy to higher rates of voting and volunteerism as adults!

Watching the next episode of Scorpion on my re-watch to get my mind off of current events. It was an episode about a rigged presidential election & foreign interference. Maybe I should stick to things like Is it Cake? for these times

YOU DO NOT HAVE TO GRANT THE BULLSHIT PREMISE AND DEBATE ON THEIR TERMS YOU CAN JUST SAY "YOU'RE FULL OF SHIT" AND WALK AWAY

never gets old seeing europeans tell americans to riot and americans telling europeans that our cops shoot to kill

I was visiting my parents after Christmas. I asked Mum if she had painted the rock in the front yard. She didn't know abt the rock until I pointed it out. On the other side it just says "JB 2025." We have no idea who that is. I think they were gifted it because someone liked their light display

unfathomable that people are replying with "who cares about baseball???". hmm i wonder why full-time baseball writers would discuss news in relation to the PEOPLE they spend their time writing about, who are PEOPLE WITH LIVES BEING DIRECTLY IMPACTED. god forbid someone care about them!

BTW, on computer go to File> Preferences>Slack AI and uncheck "Stream summary results" option.

They've added AI to Slack?? No thank you!

Me the other day: I need to leave before it gets dark. I'm like a vampire- but in reverse. Whatever is opposite of a vampire. A human. I guess the opposite would be a human.

I'm a crocheter, not a knitter, but even I know that knitters don't use construction screws for needles! You'd think AI would pick up on this small detail (besides all the other wrong details) Hey Google: pay for real art by real artists!!

Ending this year by watching a wonderful performance of Twelfth Night #GreatPerformancesPBS

[narrator voice] the national guard were never deployed in portland

I have never seen earthquake advice for disabled people before.

this seems specifically designed to break mail-in voting (where deadlines are defined by postmark)

Has it been Sunday all day??? When did Saturday happen???

It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans. 🧵 1 of 9

Why decline all these chances to defend feminism? Because to participate would be accepting the premise that our rights and humanity are up for debate in the first place. Once you’ve conceded that it’s reasonable to ask whether women’s equality was a mistake, you’ve already lost.

Cat @catvalente.bsky.social is always a thoughtful, intelligent, and above all *passionate* writer, but even having said that, this is an amazing piece about cycles of abuse and national politics. Please read it! catvalente.substack.com/p/this-is-wh...

11,888 murderers is an oddly specific number. Like wtf?

Three D's defected to vote for this disgusting bill. If they hadn't, it wouldn't have moved forward. *Don't come into my mentions to "explain" to me that "this will fail in the Senate." Spend that time calling your reps, donating to causes, and doing literally anything for trans folks.

Yer gonna wanna read this thread.

IS IKEA OK??

Posting this again because I've been getting questions: at this moment there is no licensed merch for Murderbot or Sanctuary Moon except what is on Worldbuilders Market worldbuildersmarket.com/collections/... where it's sold for charity fundraising. And they are getting a new t-shirt design soon.

Honestly why do I not post more ducks from this perspective? 🪶

Has anyone with ADHD tried a sensory deprivation tank? It sounds like hell to me.

This is your annual reminder that if you are in the US and have FSA funds that you won't use, Menstrual products are covered by FSA funds and can be donated to food pantries and shelters.

It makes me really sad that we have to just like, talk about our bodies all the time in the open like this — shout out to Danielle who is brave — because men won't read a book.

You can tell these are men who always have others carry their luggage.

Friends, a little gift from me to you—the ebook of Necromancing the Stone is on sale for 2.99 across all platforms. This is the new edition with two bonus short stories. Goes until 12/9! 🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁

"Hobbs refused, saying state law prohibits release of that information."

My manager was asking for people to submit "get to know you" questions for our weekly team building. She said she was running out of ideas herself. "It's either that or I start using ChatGPT for it." Why are people using AI as the default for things that you can google & find human made content?

Great culture can save lives. Literally. Amazing letter in today’s @thetimes.com about Tom Stoppard

The vomit scene plus visible crew in all its 4k glory:

Was never interested in Mad Men before, but now I kinda want to watch it for stuff like this. Maybe I'm just missing my theatre-techie days.

Finally saw Superman. Can everyone I follow now reskeet your takes on it from when it was in theaters pretty please?

And lastly - my very first Outside JEB article that I wrote, covering a study by Luo at al. showing that short intermittent flights used by wild great roundleaf bats may help the animals avoid potentially lethal high body temperatures. 🦇🧪🌎 (15/15) journals.biologists.com/jeb/article/...

Work is only letting 40 hrs of PTO roll over to next year. Manager DM'd me today to let me know I have a few hours I'm going to lose if I don't use them. So I sent in a request for 1 day just moments after that message. And she immediately denied it.

nothing has ever felt more “For the Girls, the Gays and the Theys” than this casting, I have been dying to watch this for so long

The definition of audacity: ICE asking WA tribes to host detention centers. They got a very polite “fuck off.” “The Nisqually people are not in favor of, nor will the tribal council allow, the detention of individuals by ICE on our reservation or in our facilities.” - Tribal Chair E.K. Choke

Dubbed the "Red Cup Rebellion," workers at Starbucks cafes in over 40 cities took to the picket lines Thursday, calling for higher pay and better staffing. The nationwide strike coincides with the company’s popular holiday Red Cup Day, one of the coffee giant’s busiest days of the year.
