Went birding at LaBagh Woods, Nature Preserve in Chicago yesterday and saw this dog living his best wild life.

whatever is in the sea is simply not my business

people need to internalize, very quickly, that federal research grants are a hypercompetitive contracting process not charity, and that what Uncle Sam gets in return for that money is American dominance in the future

Pasadena knows.

Hey I just met you and I'm a whale But here's my number So call me, Ishmael

Regarding Senate Democrats: I think maybe these dipshits think all the people mad at them are just online leftists or whatever and don't realize how much the normie suburban moms in their base are absolutely livid

THE RESIST LIST IS HERE. Proud my team just started this @resistlist.bsky.social, which will list actions that happened and that are slated to happen.

I wrote about a New York judge who tried to get out of jury duty and accidentally got out of his job Turns out saying you're not impartial and think everybody who appears before you is guilty is *checks notes* bad, and *puts finger to earpiece* not good ballsandstrikes.org/ethics-accou...

Not surprising. Bureaucrats on the one hand don't have to stand for elections, and on the other are about as not-in-it-for-the-glory as you can get. They're there because they really give a shit about this.

Over 600 Chicagoans turned out for today's Indivisible strategy session. Key take homes: do not obey in advance, hold your reps at all levels accountable, target communities lead--we support, and figure out how to make the work fun because we're in for a long haul.

A very good problem: having to open up the overflow rooms when so many people join Indivisible Chicago to plot and plan how we’ll work together to fight back against the new administration. #worthfightingfor #indivisible

This is absolutely true - I am in management - and it's really fucking annoying. I don't actually want to be bad at this, but there's very little mechanism for learning how to do it and what mechanism there is winds up really inflected by the teacher's philosophy in a way that is ... often unhelpful

Once again I propose that we replace all instances of "defund the police" with "the fuck are we paying these guys for"

This thread is wild. Example after example after example.
