THAT'S RIGHT, CUE THAT CASCADA
I'm not mentally prepared for 2 hours of Dick Vitale tonight
The is the federal government telling news stations to provide favorable coverage of the war or their licenses will be pulled.
A truly extraordinary moment.
We aren't on the verge of a totalitarian takeover. WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF IT.
Act like it.
A guy rammed his car through a door at Detroit’s largest synagogue and got out with a gun and was shot by security before he could massacre everyone inside.
And yes all synagogues that can afford it have security. And yes it’s exactly because of situations like this that they do.
Temperature change from Wednesday to Thursday afternoon
DC pulled off a ridiculous weather flip: 86 Wednesday to as low as 33 with snow today.
53-degree drop is largest 24-hour fall on record at National. 77 today & 86 Wed are warmest same and prior day to snow accumulation, too.
Dulles also joined the history book with combo. More: cwg.live ❄️🔥
"We started a war of aggression for no reason & commenced it by accidentally bombing an elementary school & killing over 100 kids."
That simple fact is so horrific that it's just kind of bouncing on the surface of our collective consciousness. We can't absorb its full implications & significance.
I've been pretty nice and respectful to the National Guard troops in DC because they didn't choose this.
But today there are large groups of them in busy Metro stations and on cars during rush hour.
Pretty crazy how important the blockade of a trade route is right now
I want to go with the GIF. But truthfully, it depends on the story. I love a good 1000+ page epic. But not every book needs to be that.
A fantasy author (Sarah J Maas) being a guest on one of the biggest podcasts in the world (Call Her Daddy) feels like a huge thing just as a fan of fantasy books.
I love books and love people getting into the kinds of books I love.
I have somehow managed to convince many people that I'm a good person and good friend and I feel as though I've tricked them all. Constantly
The atmosphere in Capitol One Arena is electric tonight. Michigan fans might be outnumbered slightly by Duke fans, but they're a lot louder.
Obviously, though, let's go Duke
The official US policy over Taiwan is about as comprehensible as the Schleswig-Holstein Question was. To misquote Palmerston, only three people have ever understood it, Richard Nixon, who is dead, a Chinese professor, who has gone mad, and I, who have forgotten.
"Moderna's CEO announced the company will no longer invest in new Phase 3 vaccine trials for infectious diseases: 'You cannot make a return on investment if you don't have access to the U.S. market. Vaccines for Epstein-Barr virus, herpes, and shingles have been shelved.” 9:12 AM Feb 12, 2026 604.8K Views
In terms of what cures are being lost:
- Epstein-Barr virus is perhaps the major trigger for multiple sclerosis
- herpes simplex virus causes cold sores, genital herpes, infections in babies, deadly meningitis
- shingles virus causes an intensely painful disease
That Coinbase Superbowl ad is the most desperate thing I've ever seen a company do. Absolute edge-of-collapse behavior.
I was thrilled to wake up this morning to a @minakimes.bsky.social NFL-themed mini crossword on @puzzmo-labeler.bsky.social
I hate the University of North Carolina
Folding the pages of a borrowed book is bad book etiquette.
Dungeon behavior, really.
You can test new tech ideas using the Seinfeld Test
Would the product eliminate the plot of an episode? (Google maps, cell phones, paypal, battery packs)
Good tech.
Would the product inspire new Seinfeld plots? (NFTs, AI chatbots, crypto currency, blindboxes, metaverse land sales)
Bad tech.
Honestly? If I were GRRM getting all these questions for years, I'd tell people to fuck off, too.
I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.
Stay free
I had never heard of this before yesterday, and it's a great example of why Americans need to think more broadly than either 1930s Germany or even US history as a whole about parallels for the current situation
There’s a lot being said about ICE paralleling fugitive slave patrols. As a historian of slavery, I think it’s far more complicated than most are articulating. A lot of historical context and power dynamics are being mashed up in the process.
Seth Moulton is calling for ICE to be prosecuted in no uncertain terms.
This is becoming a foundational political agreement for anyone seeing to oppose the regime. We need the broadest possible coalition all united about the necessity of caging these fucking monsters.
Seth Moulton is nobody's idea of a left-wing Dem.
(Four-tour USMC veteran of Iraq; multi-term Congressman from MA; now running against Ed Markey for Senate this year.)
The righteous fury in this message is how decent Americans should feel.
I do not understand why every Democrat isn’t hammering away at the clear mental decline of the president. He couldn’t even get right the name of the country he’s trying to seize today on the biggest stage in the world. Everyone else is talking about it. Why isn’t the US?
it's always so strange that Ben Affleck is a well-spoken, erudite person because every other aspect of his personality seems like the only words out of his mouth should be slurs muttered through broken teeth
I went to 3 shows on this tour. 2 were full album shows, where I got to see some of my favorite songs for the first/second time. They didn't all work great, but The Price You Pay was a highlight.
Then... we got the fall tour in the US with some all-time great shows.
