thank you. thank you.
Wow! This read-along of the NYT moment-by-moment leading to the murder of Alex Pretti should shake everyone awake. He was a Good Samaritan.
Agents fired at least ten shots in roughly five seconds. DHS and Pam Bondi claim Pretti approached them armed and intent on a “massacre.”
Being required to present proof of citizenship to someone not required to present proof they're actually law enforcement is one hell of a dichotomy
Aurora borealis over street light and houses.
Aurora borealis over houses.
The aurora is visible in NM!
Think about what you’d tell yourself if you were a friend instead of… yourself. Then go for it.
this was fun. let’s do it again.
Once, when working at a grocery store, I thought I saw an elderly person shoplift a bottle of (the cheapest possible) aspirin. But then… no, I saw absolutely nothing.
Don't photograph anyone else at a protest either.
Just saw someone use the acronym “FUQ” in Teams to mean “follow up question” and … my brain read that differently than intended.
Right now, 70,000 children in Gaza need urgent treatment for acute malnutrition due to Israel’s genocide.
Babies shouldn’t look like this, we all have an obligation to speak out, the situation is dire.

Quoting Omar El Akkad: “One day, when it’s safe, when there’s no personal downside to calling a thing what it is, when it’s too late to hold anyone accountable, everyone will have always been against this.”
It applies to a lot - ICE, gutting SNAP + Medicaid, etc, etc - but Gaza most of all.
Translation to English is threaded below this post.
Of all today’s horrors, Gaza’s starvation and slaughter - as outlined below but also in daily reports of starving families casually gunned down while trying to obtain food - feels like humanity’s death knell. This isn’t war. It’s genocide.
We are all made of stars, but your RBAC shouldn’t be
Younger people will be shocked to hear this, but way back when I grew up, anytime you saw a movie where some government official stopped someone on the street and demanded to see their identification papers, that was supposed to let you know they were the *bad* guys.
Happy #FlagDay. The flag belongs to all of us. Don’t let anyone appropriate patriotism. 🇺🇸
Supporting living wages is common sense. Someone working full time should be able to afford housing, groceries, and bills with their paycheck alone.
That’s not controversial or radical, arguing against it is.
On Memorial Day we honor the service members who gave their lives for our nation, and the loved ones who bear the burden of their loss.
That is a sacrifice that cannot be repaid. As we work toward peace, let us never forget those who have served on our behalf.
“But here’s the thing about seemingly impossible tasks: they’re only definitively impossible if you don’t attempt them.”
Fantastic article about a man taking concrete steps to end school lunch debt in Utah.
That said, CoPilot for searching through documentation and email/chat at work has been exceptionally useful, there’s no search I’m aware of that can replace its reach in that context.
I’ve found that it would take several searches & even then I may not find the info I get back from chat (gpt in my case). I usually do both, because I believe AI training is still in its infancy. I used it yesterday to look up some medical information and asked it to help me interpret. Useful.
The soundtrack for the first third of 2025 is just a mechanical voice intoning "TERRAIN. PULL UP. TERRAIN. PULL UP. TERRAIN. PULL UP." over and over and over again.
Please let this be a turning of the tide.
I can’t remember a time when I didn’t care. Why, if we expect people to accept our lived experience, would we deny other people’s? I was born confident in my (*currently* “acceptable”) gender and sexuality, why would I believe anyone else to not be equally confident and correct about their own.
The Trump regime and DOGE are rolling out this playbook to attack Social Security — one of the most popular and effective government programs.
They're deliberately sabotaging it by firing SSA workers and cutting services.
Why? Because they don't want it to work.
Spammy seeming text from unknown sender. Claims that Biden raided Medicare to pay for “Chinese green energy”.
Spam? Propaganda? Who can say.
Maya Angelou.
The root that tears apart your foundation begins as a seed of distrust, hate, and blame.
The seed that grew into a dictatorship in Europe didn’t arrive overnight.
It started with everyday Germans mad about inflation and looking for someone to blame.
In a sea of heinous actions, this is particularly deplorable.
