Growing up in the 80s, I could see this phenomenon, but I didn't have the context to understand it. This episode was so clarifying.

"I can't believe I share the same planet as folks in Gaza" -Khury Petersen-Smith 😮‍💨 Yeah.

I don't know how many of these records my mom bought vs my older siblings, but what I remember was: Parliament J Giles Band Styx Blue Oyster Cult Billy Squires Pink Floyd

"Police said the woman “was wearing baggy clothes” and “did not inform officers she was pregnant” when she was arrested." 😐

“A man convicted of a murder he says he did not commit is suing the state for $1 million after being imprisoned for more than 30 years. Charges against Thomas Rosa Jr., of Chelsea, were officially dropped March 18, following a decades-long fight during which Rosa maintained his innocence.”

DHS officials previously insisted children were not zip-tied during this raid, but in his claim, a 16-year-old boy who hyperventilated at the sight of agents assaulting immigrants said he and his mom were zip-tied outside the building.

Every week or so I think about the fact that the cops/government shot a white man, Alex Pretti, in cold blood and nothing has happened to his murderers. The murderers still have their jobs and the unarmed white man is a cautionary tale for white people to not challenge the white supremacist state.

Pick a Bond from photos you already have in your phone

I noticed during the pandemic that people most likely to mask, distance, etc. were those people who were already comfortable with discomfort. They'd learned to grieve, or live with a disability, or been marginalised in some way. The people who didn't know how to process discomfort screamed.

this is so weirdly vague & generic to get harassment strikes about

Very odd: Google Maps has literally erased the Eaton Fire from their satellite maps. After correctly showing postfire images for all of 2025, it has--apparently manually--been reverted to show pre-fire images. No explanation has been given.

Well it turns out Conner O'Malley pretty much nailed this 8 years ago.

Yeah, I was a Black immigrant. 🙋🏿‍♂️ The reason I speak with such clarity about how cops are worse than ICE, and how pre-trial detention facilities are worse than ICE facilities, is that I have protected loved ones and strangers from both. I have gotten people out of jail and deportation proceedings.

There's a close family resemblance between "We'd be much less productive if we actually had to check every paper we cited" and "We'd not be able to deport nearly as many people if we had to give all of them due process."

Lmao okay case closed then I guess!!

Guys. The Ancient Greeks weren't white. They were more like cephalopods than modern humans -- their skin was bioluminescent and constantly shifting its color. And they didn't live in in idyllic seaside villages; they could only survive near deep-ocean vents. They DID have Matt Damon accents, though

Attention: this is the end of Caturday

People inside Adelanto are asking us all to spread the word and bring media attention. They demand the center be shut down due to its abuses. Right now this is the only call to action.

the rules are all made up but unfortunately the points do matter

Hello friends, my client Ernest Penfold has gotten into a spot of trouble again. He has been slapped with a 14-day ban over one of the other posts regarding the activities of a certain member of bluesky staff. He will be appealing this ban, so stay tuned for further updates.

Once had the thought that "Livin' on a Prayer" and "Fast Car" were the same couple, just written by the man and the woman, and bummed myself out a little

just got back from a vigil for juniper blessing at uw. a beautiful evening surrounded by grieving people who came together to learn and remember someone most of us never met. i feel so privileged to have heard those stories, and to be able to carry them with me. together, we save us.

A guy we know pitched a story to a mag about former skateboarders going back to their old haunt in middle age. My BIL(52)went with him as part of the story. BIL is now back home with a broken ankle and the writer is home with a broken vertebrae. The only possible way the story could have gone.

The fact that Xavier Becerra is a serious candidate for public office is a testament to that lack of understanding. Becerra presided over 800K American COVID deaths as HHS secretary. I don’t care how much you like him, any way you slice it, that’s a catastrophe, and he bears responsibility.

While the academy buttons up in favor of the “elite,” it’s my hope that new, alternative pathways for research and thought are forged by those who are left outside its gates Union of pirate academics when, is what I’m saying

Last month, Aleanna Royal Bechdel, a 31 year-old Black trans woman who was a DJ, promoter, and artist, was murdered in a housing complex in New York, and a 54-year old man was arrested. There has been very little press coverage on this, including by queer outlets run by cis white people.

I think it's time the left start getting angrily political about routine stuff in TV shows and movies. "It's an *outrage* that Dutton Ranch doesn't have solar panels!" "They cast a man to play Jack Reacher?!?! What?!" "None of the Fast and Furious cars are EVs? NONE? I thought this was America!"

I was about to clean the filter after vacuuming, and my cat was curious, so I let him sniff. And he took a swipe at it! I wonder if he smelled his fur on it and thought I had cloned him or something?

Further a political economy of cellular technology would force us to ask both about where cell towers were being built at different periods, enabling or foreclosing their use, and how class status and urbanity affected access to the devices themselves

this is such wisdom, especially with what it’s a reply to 🙂‍↕️🙏

Joe: I am a 73 year-old retired mechanic in Forsberg, Nebraska. My 3 biggest problems are Iran's uranium enrichment capability, the casting of Helen in Christopher Nolan's "Odyssey," and the ability of Tennesseeans to check out "Roots" from a library 1000 media outlets: can we please talk at length

This is a very good article about how to write responsibly about M/NVE (misanthropic nihilistic violent extremism). Please do read it, whether you’re a journalist by trade or just very Online.

Oh! I actually don't know. I'm the right age, but I never liked the Spice Girls' music, plus I'm from the US. Any old enough UK people here? I assumed they were making the peace sign, but any chance it was V for victory or something else?

TPUSA was promoting an anti-trans event on Juniper's campus when she was stabbed to death Sunday. I'm pretty well-informed + I only heard about this today on the "It Could Happen Here" podcast. Violence against trans and nonbinary people has skyrocketed in recent years. Media coverage is dismal.

Google Docs is doing something weird on Firefox, and I want it to stop. 😭 When I use the ctrl-shift-v keyboard shortcut to paste without formatting, the content doesn't paste. Instead, this "Paste" button pops up, and I have to click that with my mouse to paste the content. It works fine on Chrome.
