If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people: 1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money 3) We won’t need a lot of troops 4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq 5) We’ll find WMDs 6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators 7) It will be easy 8) It won’t take long All lies.

“Forget about intelligence” is a pretty good mantra for this administration

Allow me to interrupt the doomscroll with my parent's puppy, Rando, in their garden.

NEWS: A federal magistrate judge DENIES the government’s motion to keep Kilmar Abrego Garcia in custody while his criminal charges are pending. “A separate order will enter, following hearing, directing Abrego's release on conditions.”

Final thoughts on #DateEverything I think it’s a good game. You like a game that has good writing and amazing voice acting with a ton of characters? Go for it. You want something NSFW?You’re not getting it here. Unless it’s late game. In that case, I don’t have time to find out.

If Democrats truly want to appeal to young men, they should probably start presenting themselves as the party that definitively *won’t* draft you into an illegal war.

Humans literally arent evolved—emotionally, mentally, psychologically—to deal with the volume of hate, vitriol & terror we see online daily. There is no precedent for the endless pings of global misery filling our brains at this scale. Please unplug & take care of yourself as much as possible. ❤️‍🩹

I spent some time in Santa Cruz earlier this month, teaching a bird banding class for @instbirdpop.bsky.social for staff and students at UCSC. Gorgeous place, great people! 🪶

MIT just pubbed a study on ChatGPT users. “Brain scans revealed neural connection collapse... a 47% reduction in brain connectivity. When researchers forced ChatGPT users to write w/o AI, they performed worse than people who never used AI at all. It's not just dependency. It's cognitive atrophy.”

They’re terrified of the people realizing their power. They’re terrified of anyone who actually wants to disrupt the status quo for anything besides profit. 📢 DON’T RANK CUOMO! 📢

Something calm and relaxing for your feed. ❤️

Incredible how Cuomo is absolutely DWARFING everyone else in money and spend and yet it’s still close enough that they’re pulling these stops out. They’re scared.

If people really find this to be such an easy conclusion, then Congressional authority should be easy to get. So why don’t they insist on a vote? They know this isn’t “progressive” resistance. They want to marginalize it as such because on top of this war being ILLEGAL, it’s also deeply unpopular.

This was one of my students’ favorite posts of the week

About to head to a conference. Really regretting walking all over the mall in old broken down shoes yesterday. Guess the conference is going to be me and Tylenol. Oh and me and the likely two other people masking.

Many ways to pass a torch.

🌈 Yoooo happy autistic pride day! 🌈

BREAKING: In a unanimous decision, a federal court of appeals has ruled that Louisiana's law requiring the Ten Commandments to be displayed in all public school classrooms is unconstitutional. We’ll keep saying it: Public schools are not Sunday schools.

A customer told me she couldn't believe this store would put up a Pride display, because what if children see it?? Anyway, it was my display, and I'm proud of it, and you (and your children) should all see it. #BookSky 📚💙

For real tho…

❤️ super important message ❤️

#store Did y'all miss my Sycamore design?? This is its first return since we first switched to our new factory! This design is easily dressed up — I wore it with a black shirt to a rehearsal dinner and got mad compliments. This is one of my favorites, and I'm so so SO glad it finally came back.

hi, cis folks! check this one from @ericmgarcia.bsky.social detailing coy, deliberately obtuse dems statements about challenging the ban on trans care in the budget. then tap the thread. call. evidently they still worry this will hurt them. tell them standing for trans people is a winning issue.

A Virginia guy hunted a Latino man, cornered him, questioned him, and then shot him and his friend, because he assumed the guy was an undocumented immigrant. He was radicalized by Fox News etc. and, of course, Trump. www.wric.com/news/local-n...

I am so happy to see this. I’ve looked up to Adam since I was a kid. He made me realize being odd and weird was a good thing. His book, “Every Tool’s A Hammer,” inspired me to write my Gryphon Generation series. We have the best new addition to our community. www.youtube.com/watch?v=XEf_...

what are you supposed to do when the "good" political party doesn't treat a dozen credible sexual harassment claims as disqualifying for a political candidate. how are you supposed to ignore that

At this stage of industrial development, to not have a Universal Basic income and Universal Healthcare is downright uncivilized.

Bearsign at the lake we visited yesterday. Also a homage to the artist 🐻

Saying Cuomo (67 year old sex pest) is the future of the national Democratic Party really means national party leadership are intent on driving us off a cliff. This really is the time for our own tea party moment.

Trying to make an outline for my therapy appointment so to speak and I realize that I don’t even want to talk about my family issues. It’s always same shit different day. My reasons for not changing how I interact with them haven’t changed. And my family ain’t changing. 1 of 2

To offset current fossil-fuel emissions you would have to plant trees over all of north and central America. To offset the emissions of oil and gas companies' "reserves" ... well, you wouldn't be able to. There isn't enough land in the world to do that. www.washingtonpost.com/national/202...

ICE agents attempted to enter Dodger Stadium on Thursday but were denied entry to the grounds by the team, a source familiar with the circumstances told CNN.

That MIT study should be the death knell of every "pivot to AI" strategy in education. That MIT study should land immediately on the desk of every administrator that imposed AI upon their institution. Yes, I am talking about my employer, the California State University system.

I'm over at @chuckwendig.bsky.social's place today with five things I learned writing Wearing The Lion! Including the strange story of Heracles's twin brother, that my favorite historian was a fraud, and how Megara escaped certain death.
