To be clear: Vance and Trump blew this up on purpose. Yet another gift to Putin. Pathetic.

“We cannot be made to be afraid of these f**king people. I know these people. They are cowards" - Tim Miller

here is a cartoon from 2017 about falling into the "it's just a distraction" trap

Tech sites are doing an *infinitely* better job resisting the fascist tech oligarchs than supposed mainstream media. Wired, The Verge, and Ars Technica are all deserving of praise.

This is awesome. From a custom knife forging shop in Edom, Texas.

Pin this, save it, we’ll need it. “When a prison camp opens in your town…when a DREAMer is disappeared from your classroom…when the President destroys what’s left of the Constitution…They will all say they didn’t know this was coming. And I want the American people to know that they did.” AOC 🔥🎯

Did you know most babies develop object permanence around 9 months old? The others become national politics reporters. (I kid, it is a systemic failure not individual.)

AOC: “We are on the eve of an authoritarian administration.” 🇺🇸

Pass it on please.

Pakistan did it. South Korea is doing it. Only in the US has the Supreme Court put the president above the law.

In 2023, @runforsomething.bsky.social recruited Justin Douglas to run for Dauphin County Commission. He flipped a seat by less than 150 votes - because of him, the county just forgave $65 million in pay-to-stay debt that former prisoners had racked up while incarcerated. boltsmag.org/jail-debt-an...

I hope that the meteor really destroys everything. I don’t want future archaeologists to know we were saying stuff like this

Folks: please be diligent about not disseminating Ann Telnaes' cartoon in a way that she's not getting the clicks on it (until she says differently). Her IP matters now more than ever. Make it go viral but make sure she benefits. anntelnaes.substack.com/p/why-im-qui...

Happy Public Domain Day!

Have you received an email from an alleged hacker with an attached PDF that includes your name, a picture of your house, and a threat to leak embarrassing info or photos to your friends and family? Don’t panic. 🧵 (1/7)

I say this with love and as a professor of art history: the report on this study is junk. It’s not measuring a response to “real art” vs “reprints”; it’s measuring “seeing art in a museum” vs “seeing it on googles while in an MRI machine.” www.theguardian.com/science/2024...

Repair Cafes International is a great resource. There may be local meetings/groups near you. People just waiting to tinker and fix a variety of items.

"OK so it was 2019, and I was in this wet market in Wuhan.."

What a great resource!

Today's "One First" bonus issue looks at the four big "emergencies" currently pending before #SCOTUS, and how the justices bear at least some responsibility for how these fire drills became the new normal—and for getting us (and the Court) out of it: www.stevevladeck.com/p/bonus-91-a...

The death of Barbara Friedes, a third-year resident in oncology at CHoP, while cycling in a bike lane in Philadelphia, is another example of how much pointless death and destruction we endure to make it easy for people to drive and park cars. www.nbcphiladelphia.com/news/local/d...

It remains wild to me how much better AOC is at “doing politics” than something like 98 percent of Democrats. The Supreme Court is historically popular and insanely corrupt! Holding them accountable is good policy AND good politics! ballsandstrikes.org/law-politics...
