COMFORTABLY NUMB in a bluegrass (?) style by a band that insists they're called Salty Strings, from here in Santa Barbara. Outside La Arcada opposite Satellite, as is a standard staging area for live music these days. They'd earlier played a version of NORWEGIAN WOOD. #PinkFloyd

This is the smartest damn thing I’ve heard all year. If nothing else, it might serve to erode employers‘ trust in ChatGPT.

True story: when I was a kid, my Dad took us out to eat. We had to wait for a table, so the hostess asked him his name. He said, “Donner.” That’s weird, I thought. That’s not his name. Later: “Donner party, your table is ready.” My Dad laughed. Years later, I got the joke.

ICE has declared themselves above the law. Secret police refusing government oversight. For those keeping score, this is fascism.

I just have to say, as a historian of the Reconstruction-era Klan, that masked paramilitaries are very bad and masked vigilantes are even worse and there are causal links between the two and none of this is good for democracy.

Israel has attacked over 25 hospitals in Gaza since Oct 7, 2023. Facilities like Al-Ahli, Indonesian, Al-Amal, Al-Awda, Kamal Adwan, Al-Quds, Al-Aqsa, Nasser & more have been bombed, raided, or destroyed. The destruction of Gaza’s health system is systemic and strategic.

I feel like people need reminding: We have acknowledged #Juneteenth here for generations, without acknowledgement from the federal gov’t or corporate sponsorship. We will continue to do so. Them folks can only gentrify our holiday if we let them. Some background: nmaahc.si.edu/explore/mome...

🚨🚨The White House is pissed off about this ad so you know what to do, share it everywhere! ICE is disappearing people just because of the color of their skin! No Warrant! No Due Process! This is not who we are as Americans! #MAGAKidnappers want an all white America, fuck that‼️

Juneteenth is not fraught, overt racism is back in vogue. Say it plain. Layers of polite credulity empower racists & normalize racism. Full stop. Nobody is confused. Do not let them pretend.

Dear Texans, thank you for sharing Juneteenth with us.

Just a reminder that generative AI is theft of labor and intellectual property, uses vast amounts of energy/ water, provides at best mediocre results (if not outright lies or misinformation), actually affects your ability to think over time (mind duh), and is in general a really fucking bad idea.

This is a vital message: one of the larger reasons BlueSky is refreshingly free of alt-right shitlords is because in the early days we made a gentleperson’s agreement to starve these fuckos out and it worked. No likes, no quotes, no engagement. They got bored and left. Please keep the Old Ways.

Andry José Hernández Romero, I remember you, even if I do not know how to articulate my horror, rage, & sorrow at your treatment by my government. No one has heard from you in 95 days. As vigil, I’m posting a photo (or video) of you every day until you are returned from El Salvador.

There’s two kinds of funny science fiction 1) put the character’s hat on top of their astronaut helmet 2) put the character’s hat on their head, inside their astronaut helmet Both are good to do. There isn’t a wrong choice.

Illinois has enshrined protections to meet this very moment. In a time of increasing overreach and hateful rhetoric, it's more important than ever to reaffirm our commitment to the rights and dignity of the LGBTQ+ community. You have a home here always.
