BREAKING: Nonprofits sue over Trump's anti-diversity, anti-trans executive orders, alleging they violate the First Amendment & equal protection guarantees, are void for vagueness, exceed the president's authority, & violate the Administrative Procedure Act. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Roses are red Violets are blue

If I learned one thing from Roman history it's that senators, as a rule, are cowards.

First time on Bluesky! Roses are #FF0000 Violets are #0000FF chown -R you ~/base

This video by @hankgreen.bsky.social covers why the Galilean moons are so amazing. I love Pluto too, but #Io, #Europa, #Ganymede and #Callisto are top tier Solar System objects. đź§Şđź”­ #Astronomy #Science #Geology #PlanetaryScience #Space Shoutout to the Europa Clipper: science.nasa.gov/mission/euro...

So far in the last 24 hours, Russia's gotten: - a sympathetic ear/voice installed as DNI - the release of a crime boss - Hegseth ceding Crimea to them - Trump offering a WH visit - The US acting as middleman rather than Ukraine ally

Listened to @ezrakleinbot.bsky.social’s great interview with @karaswisher.bsky.social on What Elon Musk Wants. You should too! Book recommendations are one of my favorite things about this podcast. I’m absolutely loving one of the books Kara recommended: North Woods by Daniel Mason.

Everyone is talking about eggs like they’re not in the room.

Musk-Trump nearing a final decision on the date of Genocide Appreciation Day. What will the choice tell us about the power position of rival fascist factions? Ross Douthat drops by to explain.

BREAKING Trump Administration moves definitively to lower the price of eggs. ALSO BREAKING CDC website "is being modified to comply with President Trump's Executive Orders"

Just achieved #InboxZero for the first time in many years. I kinda don't know what to do with myself today!

Imagine if @aoc @sanders.senate.gov , every dem, SIMULTANEOUSLY held Town Halls where they allowed grant and contract recipients to explain to the country what it is they do and why it's important Invite all media. Including RW podcasters. @spaces Flood the zone Call it a Day Of Transparency

"The revolution is about to be televised. You picked the right time, but the wrong guy." 🙏🏻

We’re just getting started, Chad

Hell yeah. Hold the line. This is what we need people to do. Slow things down, don’t comply in advance so the courts have time to stop them. It’s starting to work.

Exactly this.

There is no disputing this. 👇👇👇

Hakeem Jeffries tells members that Dems will soon introduce a bill restricting access to Treasury’s payment system

Oh hi Saturn! Cheeky little muffin. We been wondering where you were....

“DEI is not a threat. It’s a gift.” Alicia Keys

“DEI is not a threat. It’s a gift.” — Alicia Keys Damn right.

This is one sick MAGA asshole — and a lapdog for Putin.

Nearly 250,000 people in Berlin showed up to protest fascism and the Musk backed AfD party.

So I guess we all need to stock up on tequila and mezcal now, huh?

You know how a typical question to test someone's cognitive ability is, "who's the president of the United States"? We should stop doing that.

Man Returns To Work After Vacation With Fresh, Reenergized Hatred For Job theonion.com/man-returns-...

A real photo and perfect metaphor heading into 2025.

Chief Justice Roberts has the nerve to whine about detractors suggesting “political bias in the judge’s adverse rulings without a credible basis for such allegations.” The gaslighting is real. www.nytimes.com/2024/12/31/u...

Devastating. And every word true.

"Garland was just the leading edge of a cadre of Congress members, elite newsroom editors and publishers, and others who believed that the magic of democracy could fix everything without having to take a stand."

I think everyone who has an opnion, good or bad, about LLMs, should read how @simonwillison.net has summer up what’s happened in the space this year. He’s the most credible, most independent, most honest, and most technically fluent person watching the space. simonwillison.net/2024/Dec/31/...

How To Read A Novel

I hope you get what you voted for…

I’m Jewish, so not entitled to a favorite Christmas song. Nonetheless, this is mine. Rock and roll scholars say this isn’t really a Christmas song, and in a way, they’re right. But the longing for people who are far away seems appropriate for this season. music.youtube.com/watch?v=_GF0...

Ukraine is the breadbasket of the world, producing enough food to feed 400 million people. Trump will hand Ukraine to Putin, and Trump's trade war w/Mexico and Canada could conceivably make us dependent on Putin-controlled Ukraine food production. Especially after he deports migrant ag workers.

That arc of immigration detention is long and bends towards concentration camps. In this Next Comes What, @andreapitzer.bsky.social looks at the history of rounding up immigrants so we can prepare to fight back against Trump's camps and chaos.

if you get tired, learn to rest, not to quit.
