Just… goddammit. All of this is inexcusable. Read the thread, then use that anger to prepare yourself to mobilize your community. We need to *obliterate* these fuckers at the voting booth.
Sun Tzu (D-NY) - “When your enemy is making a mistake, fix it for him at great cost to yourself.”
A spokesperson for the Social Security Administration, which is still under control by DOGE, denied that a former employee stole data on U.S. citizens. The spokesperson said the Washington Post was “desperate for clicks and eager to publish fake news to scare seniors.” The inspector general’s office; which is independent from the Trump administration, did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Thank you @lorenzofb.bsky.social for accurately reporting that the Social Security Administration is *still* under the control of DOGE. This information is needed for the story to make sense.

Well things got stupider and stupider, but this is even more stupid than that. I guess I thought there was some sort of natural limit.
Gourmet Magazine is now worker-owned and AI slop free. There's possibly multiple recipes for eating the rich. It also lowers your blood pressure when you read nice things people write about food. gourmetmagazine.net
The robot does not have skin in the game, you have no assurance of any sort of self-preservation.
Watchmen.
(Caveat, I still have not read the source material. But for me, the ending was perfect and I did not want there to be another season.)
Oh no
An enormous ice cream sundae. Two people have set up ladders in the sundae. They are falling off the ladders because the sundae was an unsafe place to set up a ladder. The text reads: Warm weather means ladders. Set up your ladder on a firm, flat (non-ice cream) surface and make sure you have a spotter!
Set up your ladder on a firm, flat surface. Do not set up your ladder in a large ice cream sundae.
This is how all my nightmares begin now
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, in the next few years we will see at least 3 surveillance companies shopping their wares to the government whose base database will be this stolen government data.
There’s an SPPS Community Education course this spring called “Sewing for the Terrified.”
I think it’s about being new to it, but also I like the idea that the perpetually frightened have a place to learn.
in case you've never seen it, this is Roger Ebert on The Mummy

This is a liquid gold #1930s gown of two halves by Maggy Rouff. On the one hand it is all soft drape that falls around the torso in folds of silk crepe satin. On the other it is sharply bias cut, skimming over the hips #NGVMelbourne #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡
This demonstrates the importance for time travellers of having a change purse with clearly marked compartments for different currencies. (Pick one up any year after 1893)
Wild how that overlapped the swing revival, and a shame no brave band tried to combine the two.

this junkballing Czech electrician is a folk hero in Japan for striking out Ohtani in the last WBC (stopped for photos/autographs etc) but he's retiring after this bc Czech league ball doesn't pay the bills.
I love the way he took in in this one last surreal moment before going back to normalcy
‘Hey’ came before ‘hi,’ and ‘hi' came before ‘hello.’
‘Hi’ is most likely a variant of ‘hey.’
‘Hello’ is not related to either.
Goodbye.

In "How to Fix Flying" we recommended that Congress require all US airlines to have resiliency/crisis management plans and rainy day funding.

Reposting for no particular reason, except that I want to carve it into this century’s forehead
This is absolutely unhinged framing. Imagine doing this with any other terrorist attack. Imagine framing 9/11 as "19 young men who could've had normal vacations but whose lives were then drastically changed." I feel like I'm going insane.

If you’re roughly my age, it’s wild to reflect on the optimism for the future Americans felt when Obama was elected — young Americans spontaneously took to the streets to celebrate! — and contrast with what we face today. The falloff over the past 18 years is hard to process.
Stop analysing how a pigeon plays chess. Stop it now.
Enjoy a full minute of beavers being released into the wild in Cornwall. These little fluffbutts are the first to swim in these waters in a very, very long time - the last official records of beavers in the wild in England are from the 1300s. BBC buff.ly/BnMwCOx

In Madagascar, rice, or vary in Malagasy, plays a crucial role in local cultural stories & practices.
When Cyclone Gezani struck Madagascar last month, consistent access to food was interrupted. Now, WCK partners are cooking thousands of meals—complete with rice—every day. #ChefsForMadagascar
My prediction: This is going to suck and fail.
The ambient requirement that new devices and apps lead with "AI" is sabotaging industrial/interactive/digital systems design.

gay hockey is just a gateway drug for the real hard stuff: the music of wolf parade
Reminder that the dragon sitting on the mountain of gold was the villain of The Hobbit, and that gold also almost immediately made one of the protagonists into an antagonist too.
Pig! Ture! This!
