In the spring of 2008, I feared America was on the verge of war with Iran — and, believing that it’s good style to get to know people before you bomb them, I made “Rick Steves’ Iran,” a one-hour special that could (and would) only debut on PBS. Sadly, this special has become pertinent again today.

I googled my symptoms & it turns out i just need the next four years to be over.

Literally..

I don't know who needs to hear this, but if all you accomplish this weekend is reading a riveting novel cover-to-cover whilst drinking multiple kettles of tea and consuming a scandalous amount of croissants, then you will have accomplished more than enough.

A troll’s only purpose in life is to troll you. Your anger is like oxygen to them. When you take that away from them, they shrivel up and die. What’s up, Bluesky! 👋

A lot of folks are giving up in advance. Capitulating before a single skirmish. Well, not this old warrior. I’ve seen much worse from the U.S. government in my day. I’m concerned for our country, but not a bit scared of these miscreants. I’m ready to do my part. Who’s with me?

This place has big coffee shop inside a bookstore vibes and I’m here for it

Happy birthday, Joe!

I spent my day locked in here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_...

“What radicalized you?” Bro I was told to treat people the way I would want to be treated in kindergarten and it made sense idk what else there is to say

For over 60 years, Alice Neel painted her friends, family, and neighbors in NYC with a sharply discerning and sympathetic eye. The strongly painted line, bold colors and bright eyes in Neel's portraits always stand out— two (impatient) sisters from her neighborhood. Two Girls, Spanish Harlem, 1959

I'm stuck between not wanting to read another piece of news about the hellscape the US is becoming and not being able to disconnect so I can brace myself.

Octavia Butler being a time traveler or seer, will forever be a hill I'm willing to die on, because there's just no way. Parable of The Sower was published in 1993. Look at this date. #BlackBookSky #BookSky

oh gosh darn an empty bookcase whatever shall i do with it 👀

Trump is picking these people because he doesn’t actually know anyone outside TV and social media. This is just outing his inability to read or understand politics. But we already knew that.

Sort of feels like even calling it “artificial intelligence” is granting a premise that isn’t right. Your slop maker isn’t a metaphor for the mind

"House Republicans have revived HR 9495, which would give Trump power to shut down nonprofits he doesn't like under the guise of fighting “terrorism.” 52 House Dems shamefully joined the GOP in voting for it last week. Every Dem should vote against this authoritarian power-grab."

Bluesky feels like I took a Time Machine back to 2009 when I was still like “Hey this social media thing is going to make the world a better place.”

Just my 2 cents. But my goal is to ignore the trolls. Give them zero attention. Block them if they annoy me. I think the worst thing we can do on this site is re-create the ad hominem/ personal attacks that occur across comments on Twitter/insta/tiktok/ etc

There has been this fifth pocket on my jeans since the dawn of time but my earbuds are the first thing that have ever fit there sensibly. This indicates temporal instability.
