Are we in our hassling-neighbor-country-friends era? Please let me know when our intervention is scheduled.

*camera zooms in on Winston Churchill* *Frolic, Curb Your Enthusiasm theme song plays*

Sharing bits of Lady Gaga and last night's SNL with my 14yo. The Lord Gaga bit is hilarious because "Hey, that's the Pop Culture Jeopardy Host!"

This is silencing speech.

In Maine , maternity care is *already* being shuttered right left and crooked.

“Someone with a 1-hr car commute needs to earn 40% more to be as happy as someone with a short walk to work. On the other hand, if someone shifts from a long commute to a walk, their happiness increases as much as if they’d fallen in love.” #CityMakingMath 50 reasons to want more walkable streets.

Hear hear!

A play in three acts:

Siblings? Cousins?

The cruelty is the point.

A little surprise snowfall this morning and a two hour delay.

This morning’s finish-up.

Finished up! Ethiopian faceted opal beads, peridot large hand cut nugget front set and pink tourmaline set at the clasp. Had the unusual opportunity of stringing. I like this one.

I’m all for women getting as jacked and as strong as possible over for the next four years. Post those gym selfies, ladies !

This is the first page of this morning’s edition of the Globe and Mail (arguably the English Canadian paper of record) I don’t remember seeing anything like this before

America does not need a ‘resistance,’ or stale slogans, or people putting those slogans on little paddles. It needs an opposition party that boldly defends the nation’s virtues, the rule of law, and the rights of its people. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Behold, the result of years of Republican underfunding public schools!

Bluesky is a great site but you have to unlearn EVERYTHING Twitter has ever taught you to make it useable. Repost yourself. Interact with others. Use tags. Use feeds. Be kind and find kindness. Comment away. It's really really freeing.

It's worth watching all 15 minutes of Justin Trudeau's speech from this morning, whether you're Canadian or not. www.cbc.ca/player/play/...

Most drivers of inflation lead to higher prices and eventually wages catch up. But tariff-induced inflation is different: Prices rise, but there's no reason to expect wages to catch up. They hurt your purchasing power in an enduring sense.

This has been @radiofreetom.bsky.social thesis on the MAGA movement as well

Anyone have a gift link to offer for this article?

Plus Canada 🇨🇦

I think it’s important to draw attention to small acts of courage and dissent (like this NYT ad and the message from the VT ski resort social media manager) that remind people of the range of possibilities for standing up, speaking out, and fighting back.

The NBC SNL intro last night is 100. No notes.

Still deciding... *checks for synonyms of ire"

I’m pretty sure this is what voters want from their elected officials www.nytimes.com/2025/02/22/u...

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F. 18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it. We made this website to tell our story: 18f.org

Caribou girls really played their hearts out and secured the state champ trophy 🏆 in a nail-biter OT finish! Caribou boys play next for class B boys state. @mainepublic.org is streaming the games live. www.mainepublic.org/maine-high-s...

Because personal stories are facts made tangible.

bench perspective

By the way, the word in Russian and Ukrainian for a "suit" is "kostyum", in case you were wondering why Zelensky used that word. He likely meant "suit" in answering Glenn.

🎶 Working 8 to 6, but they call you after hours Barely gettin’ by, lots of crying in the shower You might prequalify, won’t even hurt your credit Ran out of sick days--well, I hope y'all don’t catch it 🎶

There has been a lot of chatter today about Zelenskyy's meeting with Trump, some regarding this moment when White House correspondent Brian Glenn asked if the Ukrainian president plans to wear a suit. I want to address idea in this thread. 🧵
