When I click unsubscribe from the Social Security Administration's propaganda emails I get to this page. "and delete your account" <-- what.

(1) Refugees have to wait a year before they can apply for green cards (2) Green card applications from certain countries are no longer being processed, and (3) As of a few days ago, DHS is now arresting refugees who do not have green cards after 365 days. cwsglobal.org/blog/daily-s...

AP news doesn't even have the word Epstein on it's front page 🫥

In Feb, 2006, Southwest Airlines' "Spirit Magazine" had a pizza article and dubbed Mineo's Pizza, Pittsburgh, the best pizza in the United States. I shared this news with my friends at Carnegie Mellon and cite it to this day. 20 years later they're all demanding proof; please help me find a copy.

"She was just a mother who dropped her kid off at school."

IT HAS SNOWN.

Chat GPT but it calls you daddy

Hosting Thanksgiving tomorrow for 35 people; I do firmly believe tonight was the right time to try out the oven's auto-clean feature.

PSA: if you have a spice jar labeled "cayenne pepper" and you look at it and think it looks more like chili powder do *not* put your nose up to the jar and sniff in order to make that determination.

"This is not normal. We cannot allow this to feel normal."

Absolutely schooled by my 10 year old. It starts...

LaGuardia Famiglia looks *nothing* like the airport. Kinda neat tho!

Let the record show that I do not believe the Democratic party should cave to the GoP's brutish tactics in this shutdown. (That said, I also don't rely on SNAP and would be very interested to know what that community actually wants...)

#MozFest has been such a great chance to re-connect with friends, colleagues, and collective visions. It's clearly time to start leaning into creating Bad Ideas again.

My 10 y/o wants a COVID booster for the fall. I had to explain to her that we don't know exactly what will happen yet because our country is being led by people who don't understand science and won't allow kids to get healthcare. I don't care what your politics are, that is her lived reality.

My 80-year-old aunt told me she "got tired of streaming" and is borrowing DVDs from her library again. So I checked it out and they have an amazing selection. Blu-rays too, from Criterion, Kino Lorber and other boutique labels. #PhysicalMedia #FilmSky

It took a 2-week tech detox vacation for me to finally see that four screens MIGHT be too many screens.

LLMs should be ranked in terms of equivalence to various answer services. Does it beat Yahoo Answers => Quora => Twitter => Your Very Confident Cousin => TikTok => Reddit => etc.

The Social Security Administration just emailed me political propaganda. This country is in rough shape.

WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO WITH ALL THESE CUCUMBERS

Got an email from Democratic party administrators warning that ActBlue is likely to be targeted by the Trump administration. As a local candidate this would affect my ability to receive online donations and file campaign finance reports. This is not a normal thing to need to worry about.

I can finally say I have left my mark on this world.

Our trade balance will be zero if there is no trade any more :logic:

I am choosing to believe that carve-out item (5) "bullion" is a typo'd reference to bouillon cubes. NO TARIFFS ON SOUP.

If this guy would just increase the tariff on font sizes by 400% maybe we would be able to read his stupid chart.

Some counties with >95% in: Kenosha: +6.2 Trump → +6 Crawford Outagamie: +10 Trump → +0.2 Crawford Rock: Was +7.3 Harris →+19 Crawford Fond du Lac: +29 Trump → +21 Schimel Racine: +6.2 Trump → +1.2 Crawford Rock: +7.3 Harris → +19 Crawford I appreciate these swings.

Trump just signed an executive order banning vote by mail and ordering the defunding of any state that does not follow through with it as well as engage in massive voter roll purges. There won't be free and fair elections ever again. If you're waiting for 2026, it's already too late.

It's been a week and I'm still thinking about this exchange.

Just imagine what kinds of conversations they are having over on Telegram!

UNREAL. ICE implies in a sworn declaration that MOST of the Venezuelans sentenced to hard labor in a brutal Central American prison without charge or trial or so much as a cursory hearing had never been convicted or even charged with ANY CRIME whatsoever, not even a trivial one, anywhere, ever!

My youngest daughter's Social Security card has the wrong birth date on it. I need an appointment to correct it, which can only be made via their national line. I recorded the experience, and have no path to resolution. Highlights in thread.

What if the democrats had applauded last night. But not stopped. Just drowned him out with applause until they forced him to stop; forced them to ban certain types of applause; forced Johnson to kick them all out.

Obama and Biden may think they are honoring the office of the presidency by keeping quiet at a moment like this — if so that’s just preening vanity — they owe it to the office and to the Republic that until last month it served to speak up loudly and clearly and without relent.

"I thank every American family ... I thank President Biden and both parties ... I thank your cities and your citizens who supported Ukraine this year, who hosted our Ukrainians, our people, who waved our national flags, who acted to help us. Thank you all" www.nytimes.com/2022/12/21/u...

Bezos wasn't happy enough with losing 10% of all their subscribers I guess

Dear Dems. This is a reminder that Donald Trump rescinded the ethics rules preventing gifts to executive branch employees. Now would be a good time to propose legislation formalizing the prevention into a law Time to do things that make him react to you. apnews.com/article/trum...

I just discovered an AMAZING journaling app: [email protected] It's so easy, you just email it a few random things it every day. It might be spyware or something, but I figure I can stick to stuff I'm comfortable being out there.

When the Federal government stops spending money to educate children, care for sick, feed hungry, give hope to hopeless, cure diseases, invest in innovation... Who will benefit. A billionaire? A military contractor? A line item in a budget report? They have forgotten the point of all this.

I am almost ready to start feeling confident about this super bowl.

👏 don't 👏 give 👏 powerful 👏 people 👏 the 👏 benefit 👏 of 👏 the 👏 doubt 👏

This is, or should be, a big deal -- Ann Telnaes, an absolute legend, quitting WaPo due to censorship of a cartoon criticizing billionaires anntelnaes.substack.com/p/why-im-qui...

The age of LLMs has really called out my personal brand of humor / social identity.

I lost the screen shot selector box on my monitor setup -- I now have to take the screen shot and reverse engineer the location based on the contents.

I appreciate how AI leans into the scene like any other good improv comic would. I have a path to fixing my clogged head.

Oh boy, more friends over here!

Judicial corruption, famously, is when rich people get convicted for the crimes they commit.

Did CNN accidentally use a still from A Handmaids Tale as a featured image for this headline?
