This current protein craze is ridiculous. No, I don’t want protein in my coffee. Thank you.

Should you still have quite a few clementines about the place, you might be particularly interested in #RecipeOfTheDay, even if you did make (as I did) this Clementine Cake over Christmas. Its bright sunniness is just what’s needed now, I rather feel! www.nigella.com/recipes/clem...

This Upton Sinclair quote never misses “It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends upon his not understanding it.”

“Why are Americans mistrustful of AI?” asks the morning briefing thing I’m skimming while I “no” through literally a dozen questions being asked to me by a robot who stands between me and the person I need to talk to to schedule the x-ray that I really, really need

Like this purple water lily upon pushing through mire & shadow, may we remain determined to find that comforting glow of warmth upon which we too shall bring forth some beauty & serenity to each day. #FlowerReport

How 2026 was depicted in the sci-fi classic 'Metropolis' (1927)

These little wonders, still remain

In my lifetime syllabi have gone from a thing professors joked about in exasperation to a bizarre form of state surveillance equally loathed by faculty and students

Men had their chance. Time for women to call the shots.

Truly the epitome of the dog / cat hetero couple

sometimes I’ll make a joke to my wife and she’ll roll her eyes and ask if I’m “gonna post that one on bluesky.” I mean, yes, but her tone is very hurtful

indiana did WHAT to alabama?

Now now killer fungus We are BUSY

Today is Haitian Independence Day.

This has stalled and they really need to meet their goal. Please support and share.

Yes and-ing this to say, I absolutely love that his speeches do not sound like he studied Barack Obama recordings as if they were the zapruder or game film. He talks good but does it in his own way.

He's sketching out a political alternative to the MAGA regime. Here for it:

Mamdani’s message is as American as apple pie, and that’s why he drives reactionaries of many different political stripes crazy.

Oh, and I love the fact that we're seeing Millennials come into power in their 30s and early 40s. Very important! Certain folks in the generations before mine, ESPECIALLY politicians, truly blocked much of the natural generational transfer of power. That's part of the reason why we're here now!

I, for one, welcome my new core Millennial overlords! I've been teaching them since 1999. They're ready to take the reins. (Special request: The non-MAGA Gen Xers would LOVE to retire within the next 10-15 years, y'all. Please fix Social Security & Medicare so we can chill & GTFO. Love you boo! 😘)

Jumaane Williams choked up as he told little Black boys they deserve to be loved. Zohran spoke of a constituent who said the campaign had made room for softness in people’s hearts. Three generations sang “Over the Rainbow” and “Bread and Roses.” Another politics is possible—and it’s here. ❤️

Zohran has been mayor for twelve minutes and it's still cold in NYC. What the fuck. Mr mayor can you please turn on the sun.

Nice touch - the trans announcer from the subway (“Stand clear of the platform edge”) is doing the announcing

HOLD UP WAIT A MINUTE!! Zohran swore the oath on a Koran... that was owned by Arturo Schomburg?? 😍🔥📘📗📕📙 🗃️ Amazing and powerful!!!! #MamdaniInauguration

I've had fun welcoming my fellow Xennials and the elder Millennials to Club 40. Despite life's ups and downs, it has been a good time. Today, I'm eyeing the velvet rope line to an even more exclusive venue: Club 50! I won't get in line til a year from now, but from my vantage point, y'all FANCY!

As of today, I am a FULL professor. I do not care much for occupational status markers. Still, it is not lost on me that only 2% of full professors are Black women. This goes beyond personal accomplishment. It is a responsibility to do as much as I can for others. That is exactly what I aim to do.

Mamdani's wife Rama Duwaji is visibly emotional as Mamdani shouts her out

I am so ready for the Reagan era to finally end

Shakira will be 49 in February. She's a cool 6 months older than me... and I'm just like, "how?!" 😆 It's not just the money, either! She and Bianca Lawson need to drop their skincare tips! Because I just don't understand!

Sending you a cup of kindness, @shlead.bsky.social, today and all this year! Happy New Year and thanks for the daily flowers! 💐

🌞Good morning! Wishing you a bright day today, the first day of 2026, and the rest of the year!💛 #ColorADay #YellowThu #dailyflowers 🌱 #flowerreport #bloomscrolling

Whew. That Mamdani has an exceptional speechwriter and is one of the most compelling politicians I’ve seen.

🚨TODAY: Mary Sheffield sworn in as 76th mayor of Detroit, becoming the first woman to hold the position in the city’s history. One of her first stops: Engaging w/ Detroiters experiencing homelessness, serving them lunch. She says housing is top priority for her. #detroit #breakingnews

One of the best Attorneys general in America #NewYork @newyorkstateag.bsky.social

I admire Tish James so much! She is incredible!

Mayor Sheffield got 77% of the vote for good reason. #Detroit

From everything I've heard and seen, Mayor Sheffield has the SE Michigan business and philanthropy community behind her. Reminder: she comes from a prominent activist and civil rights family in our city. She's third generation and served three terms on Detroit City Council. She's ready!

Today marks a historic moment for Detroit.💙 Mayor Mary Sheffield has officially been sworn in as the city’s first woman mayor, stepping into leadership with a vision that puts people, neighborhoods, and opportunity first.
