I knew I always liked Sophia Brush

After logging on this morning and seeing the news I logged back off for the day and spent time with my kids. I don't suppose there's any chance it was just the remnant of a bad dream and we're not really at war in the middle east again?

The Hughes bros, Megan Keller, and Hilary Knight on SNL with Connor Storrie

Currently listening to two different books who's protagonist is a magical girl with a talking dog companion.

It's time to stop following & engaging with this account. It's an 'alt government agency' type grift account at this point, not a source of news.

Leilani Munter, y'all.

In a war between the Trump admin and Anthropic, anyone losing is a win for us. Let's hope they both lose.

Congratulations to USA Women’s Olympic hockey team

One of the things I've learned recently that has not filled me with joy is how hard it is to hold the government accountable when they violate rights. So many things Trump's regime has done to people are illegal, but without recourse. I blame @kenwhite.bsky.social for this knowledge.

TIL that men wearing smart glasses to massage parlors is a thing. That is incredibly disgusting.

Can I share what my dream political scenario is for the next 4 years politically? Mid-terms are bloodbath and a blue wave, D's take control of at least one and ideally both houses of congress as MAGA eats itself. Trump doubles down on being awful, preventing any fading of the growing anger.

I was on board with dunking on team Canada for being poor sports in the loss, but the USMNT is killing the fun. 'Hockey has a ton of conservatives' isn't news but it's still disappointing. Specifically looking at you, Jack Hughes, formerly known for supporting pride night against NHL wishes.

Yeah, man. Just double down on Trump. Kill more of that goodwill

@502eire.lol Hey, question for you since I know you're an Isbell fan: can you recommend anyone else in the alt-country space who's left-leaning?

the contrast with figure skating, where everyone was delighted and Kaori even helped Alysa secure her stuffie with the medal, is especially funny

they need to import this to the Stanley Cup playoffs, watching hockey players be handed stuffed animals while they seethe is the new funniest thing in the world

Kurt Vonnegut stop being so applicable to all time periods of American life, you can’t do that Kurt Vonnegut, your insights are too evergreen Kurt Vonnegut

😲 I did NOT have that on my bingo card. Good on ya, madam.

Listen y'all, I know the world is falling apart and this is small potatoes... ... but we need a better way to meet people romantically in 2026. Dating apps are a dumpster fire, there's no real third spaces, and I'm not into the bar scene. It's rough out here.

okay you know what we're doing this why rise of skywalker is the worst crime ever committed against cinema and the very concept of a coherent fictional universe: a thread

Normalize laughing derisively in men's faces when they deserve it.

Back in graduate school in the late 1900’s, I worked with HeLa cells in the lab. I had no idea of the story behind them. They were cervical cancer cells that were taken, without consent, from a woman named Henrietta Lacks. Her story is one that covers just about every corner of public health.

Everything is already terrible, so I really would prefer if we could avoid another war in the Middle East.

This is today's moment of zen. <3

I identified four (4) NBA teams part-owned by a firm that sold a property to the Department of Homeland Security for a planned ICE detention center. And I explain why more owners could follow in the warehouse to megajail business. it's the new [eyeblack]:

Anecdotal, but I'm at a follower count where I look at every new person who follows me and it's been bot/scam accounts all the way down for a while now. I only lightly interact with bigger accounts that a lot of those accounts auto-follow from, and it's still 80-90% of new followers these days.

Picard management tip: If you're not sure what to say, take a deep breath and a dramatic pause. Maybe somebody else will talk first.

If you are wondering what words the all-male Congress found so "blasphemous" that they felt compelled to literally scrape them off the monument, they were: ''Woman, first denied a soul, then called mindless, now arisen, declared herself an entity to be reckoned.''

It is absolutely a choice.

Warren Buffett is the only one on this list making a dent and he's still obscenely too rich. Any of these people could give away 99% of their net worth and still have generational wealth to set them and their families up with everything they could possibly need or reasonably want.

Still a better take on immigration than MAGA.

The great thing about this years Olympics is that I can finally come to terms with the fact that I never could have made it as a ski jumper because I'm unwilling to inject paraffin into my Johnson. There's also all the other reasons including "I can't ski," but that's the main one really.

This thread is outstanding.

Woah!

Old enough to remember when Google still mostly tried to do good, and the day the Reddit subpoena canary died. Facebook was always evil.

My ex wife left on Valentine's day and the divorce finalized on 2/15 the next year so I'll leave this one for the sports fans and just quietly sit it out. 😂

Are we really doing nazi tattoo guy discourse again? Call me old-fashioned, but when it turns out someone has a secret nazi tattoo I simply reject them as a political candidate and move on.

Stuff like this is so alienating to me, because... I don't know who this is talking about. The communities I come from are people who are deeply technical, and who are also deeply passionate and creative people who are brilliant artists and activists and educators and writers. Who is this aimed at?

Guys you're not going to believe this, but I'm watching Picard season 2 and there seems to be a... political message! A political message in Star Trek, can you imagine?

This description of how to make it as a new developer may help you climb the ladder, but it's also 2 or 3 full-time jobs. A full time dev position plus learning a different tech stack on your own time plus staying current with the AI ecosystem plus becoming an active open source contributor?

My most engaged post on here now is about Matt Kalil's 3 coke can hog, so I've got that going for me.

We did what now?

Ever part of this statement is absurd, but low key 'I stopped at a private island on my yacht cruise with my wife, kids, and their nannies' is one of the most unrelatable vacation stories ever.

Which now has me playing Adios over the good speakers long after my flu-ravaged body should be asleep. I may not understand his words, but the man absolutely sings straight to my soul. youtu.be/5hIrpj25JX4?...

Post a banger that is not in English. I found Sebastian Yatra from that song at the end of Encanto about 2 caterpillars that makes you cry. This is the opener from his album Dharma. I don't understand almost any of the words but I've listened to it many, many times. youtu.be/z3gcb9lMPi0?...

Somehow I completely missed this until this week's Serious Trouble episode when @kenwhite.bsky.social was forced to talk about it.

Oh man I had completely forgotten that. That is maybe the single saddest and most embarrassing thing a human being has ever done.

Fellow dating app sufferers, it is the year 2026. It is long past time to stop listing "not political" on your profiles! At this point you're either lying to us or yourself.
