When my kids were brand new, 14 years ago, the other moms I found myself online with were about 50% antivax. 3 moms in that group created a community to encourage vaccination with facts and compassion, and I watched a dozen women or more change their minds and get their kids on a catch-up schedule.

I once asked a bookseller at a large indie store how many people would have to buy a book for it to get the attention of the store buyer and cause an additional order and they said: Three.

The Children Speaking from the Rubble Tell us, what do the living do? Do you dance? Do you make bread with each other? Do you walk in the parks in autumn, smelling the late summer flowers? Is it true that some things get to grow old? What is the world doing now? Are you fighting with sticks and stones? Do you remember us? Do you lie down under the stars and listen to the birds passing overhead, and do you get to feel the little wings of your own wild heart be opened? You have somewhere to go then, don't you? Go. Don't let us keep you. We have names. We are safe. We're at school. We are hiding in our favorite little places, waiting for you to tap us on the shoulders, to tell us it was just a joke, come home now, and the bombs and boots are just a game we're playing, and the bread and milk are waiting on the table, and the moon is new, and the gardens are in blossom. This sentence is the length of one of our shoes. βJoseph Fasano

Pentagon tells Congress no sign that Iran was going to attack US first, sources say reut.rs/4aYKAFU
I canβt imagine how complicated today has been for folks who are Iranian and Iranian American. My heart is with you as you and your families navigate the complexities and the challenges your people face today and in the coming weeks.

I thought I was having a rough day but then I read this post about someone debating whether to check on their mouse experiment while sirens were blaring and missiles were entering the airspace in Kuwait and you know what? This headache isn't that bad.

We need to move the Democrats from βyouβre doing war wrongβ to βthis illegal wars is like all the crimes Trump has committed and heβll pay.β

I know this feels pointless but everyone has to call their congressional reps and say they oppose war with Iran and they oppose Trump illegally starting one without congressional approval β both

So anyway I guess this is what it feels like to be one of the tiny humans running through the streets while the giant supervillain monsters are fighting by throwing passengers trains and apartment buildings at each other
We don't even get a Colin Powell-style PowerPoint preso anymore.
I continue to be fascinated by the phenomenon whereby an expert engages with any of the LLMs on their field of expertise and is instantly horrified by the wrong answers, and then goes on to use it for things they are not experts in as though it wonβt be just as bad for those.

Screenshot of an X post by journalist Sam Stein stating that DHS claimed it left a man at a coffee shop described as a βwarm, safe location,β but video later showed it was the middle of the night, cold, and the coffee shop was closed.
Screenshot of an X post from the official Homeland Security account titled βHere are the FACTS.β The statement says Buffalo Police alerted Border Patrol about a non-citizen, that Mr. Shah Alam entered the U.S. as a refugee in December 2024, was not amenable to removal, and accepted a courtesy ride to a coffee shop described as a warm, safe location. It adds that he showed no signs of distress or disability requiring assistance.
This is negligent homicide. We demand justice for Shah Alam and his family. He was nearly blind, and they left him five miles from his home, forced to try to walk home alone in the dark and the freezing cold.
