My doctors appointment is at 1 pm. I can’t afford it. I get evicted in a few days if I can’t pay my rent. I’m scraping by on meals because I can’t afford doctor bills. My car insurance or my rent. I need help.

Another alternative to the SOTU (Do you really want to listen to him free-associate and ramble for an hour?)

Don't watch the SOTU unless you have to do so for work or a gig. You can get the jist of it from people paid to give you the jist. Denying Trump the viewer numbers is simply the cherry on top of your self care today.

What I like about this video is it shows how all cats, including wild cats, are dignified and aloof.

The thing about former Prince Andrew is that he lost his protector. Our Epstein conspirators have not lost theirs.

RECIRCULATED, NOT HOARDED is a winning message!

I am BEGGING you. Please, PLEASE, do not try to talk your way out of an arrest or detention. Do NOT talk to cops. "I INVOKE MY RIGHTS TO SILENCE AND COUNSEL AND WILL NOT ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS WITHOUT MY ATTORNEY PRESENT." Say that and SHUT UP.

Just think, they could be the rule and not the exception.

If the USA Women’s Hockey team wants a real celebration and invite ,,, I’ll host them in Las Vegas. Do some nice dinners and shows and good times. I’m sure I can get a hotel and airline to help me out here and celebrate these women for real for real. 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

BREAKING Charles Kushner, the US Ambassador to France, has been banned from meeting with members of the French government after he failed to show up to a diplomatic summons with the French Foreign Minister.

Observers watching federal immigration enforcement in Maine who were told by agents they were "domestic terrorists" and would be added to a "database" or "watchlist" are now part of a new federal class action lawsuit. n.pr/4s6JWgo

Breaking MS NOW: An ICE whistleblower is expected to testify at a congressional forum today that the agency is "lying to Congress and the American people" about its training of new recruits. Ryan Schwank was an ICE academy instructor for new recruits before he resigned earlier this month.

Age verification is a bit like having a backdoor that the govt can use to get to encrypted phones - it doesn't work, and it makes everything worse. spectrum.ieee.org/age-verifica...

ATTENTION BLUESKY you don't want to watch the State of the Union next week you want to watch a PowerPoint party telethon of your favorite Bluesky super posters delivering their most unhinged hot takes to raise money for mutual aid in Twin Cities and Portland Poster's Madness for a good cause!!!!

I would like to submit this alternative to hearing the state of the union speech tomorrow. (Do you really want to listen to him talk? At length? Is this really better than Is It Cake?) His speech will be discussed to death regardless. Bonus: Help his numbers go down! postersmadness.wordpress.com

On Tuesday night I'm gonna participate in the @posters-madness.bsky.social Mutual Aid Telethon and elaborate on my official taxonomy of birds postersmadness.wordpress.com

You do NOT want to become the main character of the day when so many chronically online people are stuck at home because of a damn blizzard. I’ll tell you that much.

Brainwashing, 2026 edition. This paper shows how X's algorithmic feed shifts people's views rightwards. It's a sophisticated, highly effective form of reorientation. And it is utterly chilling. If you're still on that platform, unhook yourself now. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

You don’t defeat Nazi propaganda by going on Goebbels’s broadcast, you defeat it by storming the beaches of Normandy

As the guy who wrote the book on zoning abolition, I'd like to go on record as saying: if you can use zoning to stop the concentration camps, fucking go for it.

My therapist told me: “Write letters to the people you hate and then burn them.” Did that, but now I don’t know what to do with the letters.

Super Mario 2 is rated T for Teen (This breaks my brain somehow)

Can't fuckin' believe I'm doing this but here goes: Twitter is a mind prison, a true jail of career advancement. I stopped posting on there and within months I became the CEO of The Onion and I'm not kidding. Went back on last year, felt worse, then left again.

When the ongoing discourse emergency begins to abate, we will open discourse-cooling centers where you can find relief. Until then, the best thing you can do is chill out in place.

Relevancy? In this economy?

@nicollewallace.bsky.social just announced that New Mexico officials are seeking the complete unredacted Epstein files from the DOJ as a part of the investigation.

But I think we all risk clinging to the past that way. We benefittED from Twitter. People bigger than us benefittED from Substack. That was only really true of the few. And I don't know now if it's true at all. brookshire-team-trash.beehiiv.com/p/are-we-too...

If you're not sending $$ to discord because of age verification, and being connected to Peter Thiel (Palantir). Consider donating the funds instead to mutual aid threads, community support (bail funds, etc) for the people who are keeping people safe, and protesting ICE, or pet shelters.

hey news people, this is news. please click through and consider writing about it.

And the guy was like "uhhhhh but we need a strong Democratic majority to make that happen" and I was like "yeah, we need strong Democrats. I'm seeing people around me every day who are meeting this moment, and I'm ready to vote for any one of them to primary the Congresswoman."

WELL NOW, would you look at that? A massive, 24-YEAR-LONG study of MORE THAN 1.2 MILLION people in Denmark found NO LINK between aluminum in childhood vaccines and autism, asthma, OR chronic disorders. Aluminum is an ADJUVANT. It ENHANCES your immune response to a vaccine. That’s it.

Folks, call out each & every corrupt, disgusting billionaire & multimillionaire as often as you like, for being in the Epstein files or for any of the other heinous, murderous, society-destroying stuff they do, BUT if the only ones you ever mention by name are Jewish, I'm gonna look at you funny.

February 22 is Cat Day in Japan. 🐈 It comes from a Japanese wordplay: 2 can be read as “ni,” so 2/22 sounds like “nyan nyan nyan” — the Japanese version of “meow meow meow.” That’s why many people in Japan celebrate by sharing cat posts on social media.
