Loki is lightyears better about his dog reactivity than he used to be, but six dogs in a half hour walk would be pushing anyone's limits

there’s a blockade right now, which means a lot of people are desperate and hungry and when they’re desperate they might act in ways that are hard to tell from spam! you can help by just muting accounts you’re suspicious of instead of reporting them as spam!

Please keep this in mind. If you’re not sure of a fundraiser, no one is forcing you to donate or repost. If you’re annoyed, mute or block and move on

terraforming Antarctica is in fact orders of magnitude easier than terraforming Mars and has the benefit of being able to bring in supplies by ship instead of months long rocket trip “we must escape our planet for human survival” is a sign you do not need to take the speaker seriously

The House just passed its budget resolution, so reconciliation is now officially underway. This is their bill to destroy Medicaid and SNAP while cutting taxes disproportionately for the rich. THIS IS VERY REAL and can be enacted even if all Ds vote no. Thread on what's to come and WHERE TO FIGHT.

Run a local festival or event? Stop using AI for your promo images and posters: 1. It makes your event look like a scam 2. vendors can tell, many will skip your event for using AI 3. It makes it look like you don't care about your event

People. The name of the org is “the Democratic Party”. “The Democrat Party” started as a pejorative version of this, specifically used by the Republicans, especially right-wing Republicans, to avoid associating the party with democracy. They keep using it to piss people off. So, you know, don’t?

Whatever impostor syndrome you may have once had, dispose of it fucking immediately. If these people run the country, you deserve that promotion, you can run for city council, you can start that business. If this is the baseline, shit, you can do surgery drunk in an alley and you will do less harm.

Every extra hour that ICE spends facing off with activists is an hour they can't spend kidnapping other people. Every extra minute ICE has to spend contingency planning around activists and neighbors, every extra officer ICE has to put on a kidnap squad, is a drain on their efficiency.

Please, for the love of god, don’t start your new newsletter on Substack. There are so many better and cheaper alternatives who don’t run a business model of platforming the worst among us. You can get a self-hosted Ghost newsletter up and running for <$10/month.

We shouldn't wonder why young people are leaning so heavily on AI for school assignments when corporate leaders are telling young people--what you can do isn't as good as what I can get from AI.

If you don't have a Forbes subscription, right now they offer four free articles before they firewall you. This is about speculation that there's a second, larger solar cycle at play. Due to that cycle, we may see a lot of aurora activity in the next few decades. www.forbes.com/sites/jamiec...
