Amazing, beautiful, and emotional. Wow.

This is the front cover of the new edition of @thelancet.com (thanks to @profstevegriffin.bsky.social for sharing) #HealthPolicy #Science 🧪🧵

What the ever lovin' fuck? I'm an amputee and I cannot stress this enough. You absolutely totally need continuous progress in rehabilitation or you will fall into depression. Walking that 10 yards further than yesterday is what keeps you alive. Sitting in a chair for 6 months is death.

once again, @lyz.bsky.social is well worth a read today... (tho let's point out that someone or more than one shared that locker room video with ProPublica)

FUCK YEA

I wrote about joy and resistance and Alysa Liu and Bad Bunny. dansinker.com/posts/2026-0...

High-bandwidth minds don’t malfunction, they overwhelm low-resolution systems. If you’ve felt misread or compressed, this explains why.

A tariff “refund” mostly goes to whoever wrote the tariff check: the importer of record. That’s not the same person who paid more at the register. So refunds -- if they're offered -- might sound like consumer relief, but in reality, they're corporate windfalls.

Inspired by this fossil, I once again feel compelled to point you towards the time that @everywhereist.bsky.social psychologically terrorised her husband by sticking googly eyes and quote-bubbles on everyday household appliances. www.everywhereist.com/2015/06/i-to...

MEGAN KELLER WITH A DIRTY DRAG MOVE AND A GOLD MEDAL WINNING GOAL 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🇺🇸

NEWS: The FBI interviewed an Epstein victim who accused Trump of sexually assaulting her when she was underage not once — but at least FOUR times. But the document that shows those additional interviews appears to have been deleted from the DOJ website. substack.com/home/post/p-...

HE DID IT!!!!!!!! HE PUBLISHED A FREE, DAILY OLYMPICS NEWSLETTER BEFORE THE EVENTS PREVIEWED IN THE NEWSLETTER ACTUALLY TOOK PLACE THEY SAID IT COULDN'T BE DONE

"From joining Sanders on the “Fighting Oligarchy” tour to endorsing Mamdani to her comments in Munich, Ocasio-Cortez keeps showing prescience and depth. Perhaps the right woman is staring right in front of us, and we should embrace her leadership." newrepublic.com/article/2065...

The Internet is undefeated. One of the greatest moments in cinematic history.

To the extent that idealized, more democratic and inclusive "America" has been a reality, it is because of the people in the past who organized and acted and wrote and worked to make it a reality. Such people were no less "American" than the white supremacists they battled against.

We are a nation in which thousands of Black people were "legally" kidnapped with the assistance of the federal government & sent back into slavery. We are also a nation in which thousands of white & Black people organized in their local communities to try to stop those kidnappings. "We" are both.

I've been thinking a lot lately about how communities in the Antebellum North organized to protect Black Americans from kidnapping enslavers, and also how witnessing (and resisting) such kidnappings slowly radicalized a critical mass of white Northerners against slavery www.salon.com/2017/08/05/w...

“We’re all focussed on the wrong 1%.” — @jamestalarico.bsky.social Watch this, and follow this guy’s campaign. It’s really important.

I have had the pleasure of reading Rodger's stuff for years, and this might be his best work. It lifts my spirits considerably every day.

USA WINS FIRST WIN AGAINST CANADA IN NINE TRIES THEY TAKE DOWN THE BEST TEAM IN THE WORLD (which did not play like the best team in the world)

Every Republican since Eisenhower has increased the deficit. Every Democrat since Carter has decreased the deficit.

“The Constitution does not permit the government to arrest thousands of individuals and then disregard their constitutional rights because it would be too challenging to honor those rights.”

Yet another judging scandal in Olympic skating:

OLYMPICS NEWSLETTER, DAY 6 🛷I cannot believe how invested I got in doubles luge🛷 👎 The French Judge strikes back👎 🔫⛷️The Olympics of Biathlon Mess continues🔫⛷️ AND MORE!!!! sports.beehiiv.com/p/olympics-d...

easy slogan for the next democratic presidential candidate is “i will reform the corrupt supreme court and repeal citizens united”

PINNING THIS TO MY PROFILE

Best Olympics coverage anywhere. All the stories, inside info, explainers, and JOY of the games. Read it, subscribe (it's free!), and if you are able, throw a few bucks Rodger's way so he can keep doing this stuff.

Worth watching this in full. The statement is more powerful than this quote alone. Here is is from USA Today, with alt text. Also! Rich Ruohonen is a personal injury lawyer and the oldest athlete to ever represent the United States in a Winter Games at 54 years old.

I made a map of 3.4 million Bluesky users - see if you can find yourself! bluesky-map.theo.io I've seen some similar projects, but IMO this seems to better capture some of the fine-grained detail

Disturbingly detailed analysis of my first rewatch incoming

so, I declined a temporary gig covering The Olympics for a Big Media Company bc I wouldn't have been able to do the newsletter. I was hoping to get enough paid subs over the 2 Olympic weeks to make up for it. friends... you hit the number ***BEFORE THE OPENING CEREMONY*** can't thank you enough

THREAD: Let’s talk about Roni, the outstanding raccoon mascot of the 1980 Winter Olympics …

NEW: The unfathomable Minnesota transcript that must be read, as it tells the reality of America today. "I am not white, as you can see," Julie Le — a government lawyer — told a federal judge on Tuesday. "And my family's at risk as any other people that might get picked up too ..." Law Dork:

Philidelphia DA Larry Krasner warns ICE: If an agent commits crimes in Philly, I will charge you. You will be arrested. You will stand trial, and you will be convicted in state or federal court and you will do your time. Donald Trump can't pardon you for a state court conviction.

74% of Democrats support abolishing ICE, with 53% *strongly* supporting it, according to YouGov polling from last month. Weak calls for "reform" are coming from *elected* Democrats like Chuck, not the average Democratic voter.

Nationalize this, buddy It’s Tuesday. There are 273 days until the midterm elections. A reprieve in Springfield, a note to Texas Democrats and Epstein’s best friend wants us all to move on.

Predicting that this week we’ll hear more conciliatory words from the Administration regarding Minnesota (since they’re starting to realize that ICE has become politically toxic) but everyone outside of Minnesota needs to know that nothing on the ground has changed.

Everybody brings some soup and/or bread, as well as some containers. Everyone gets to eat soup that night and also bring some home. My friend has been hosting it for years.

"Every social theory undergirding Trumpism has been broken on the steel of Minnesotan resolve."

As I wrote today, this has been a consistent pattern, strategic retreat when things get too hot, return when it fades. It's how grab 'em by the pussy and Jan 6 was handled. They're counting on memories being short. prospect.org/2026/01/26/i...

GIFT ARTICLE: "Democrats have pivoted sharply, and are confident they are now on solid political ground as they draw a hard line against approving any money for the agency that has executed chaotic and violent operations across the country." www.nytimes.com/2026/01/26/u...

Can confirm the swearing.

Sandra L. Mollon won Best Wall Quilt for her depiction of an incredible view of the Colorado River in the Grand Canyon. Her quilt titled, “Toroweap Overlook” was raw edge collaged, sewing machine quilted with small amounts of mixed media. ❤️ @mollonsandra

This morning, I recorded a video on TikTok about why DHS’s arguments for the power to enter homes without judicial warrants in immigration cases are bunk. Nine hours later, TikTok still says my video is “under review,” and can’t be shared. Well, here’s a link: georgetown.box.com/v/Vladeck-IC...

Wow. Freaking eloquent and spot on.
