Gov. Mills showed precisely the sort of integrity in the face of political pressure that the majority of the party currently lacks. More importantly, she did so extemporaneously and without hesitation from a purple state where this isn't a universally popular position. www.maine.gov/governor/mil...

So interesting that a so-called "strict constitutionalist" like Alito is more than happy to flush separation of powers down the toilet in the name of a man who literally declared himself king. How does Sam have the gall?

Judith Butler: "Once you decide that a single vulnerable minority can be sacrificed, you’re operating within a fascist logic, because that means there might be a second one you’re willing to sacrifice, and a third, a fourth, and then what happens?"

No Man's Sky, my cat Goblin, and @fridaytea.com's Nepali Silver Yeti (www.fridaytea.com/products/nep...) makes for a lovely, chilly afternoon. The tea is quiet and subtle, but also pleasant and fragrant, and makes me think of winters around the wood stove in my grandfather's cabin in Colorado.

So I'm kinda... out of a job. (It was a government job that was killing me, and I couldn't stomach it anymore, especially with the New Old Boss.) If anyone appreciates my writing/contributions and could throw a dollar or two my way, I'd appreciate it. ko-fi.com/explorerrowan

So sleep deprived me made this half assed python script with the help of the other SRDC regulars that lets you check all of your submitted runs for Twitch highlights and then offers you to download those to your harddrive all at once and possible bugs. github.com/Matse007/Spe...

There’s an active fascist takeover going on. Let’s check in with the Democrats on the Senate Judiciary committee to see how they’re resisting it. Oh… oh I see. They’re trying to blow up Section 230 and open the floodgates for Trump to censor the Internet. Inspiring!

Sin and Pam have put in a lot to support me and a lot of other designers. I see them showing up for others. Sin does amazing work, and if it's not enough to support the art you want to see made, then maybe you should just do it because this is an insane discount?

Drinking @fridaytea.com's Magpie today. www.fridaytea.com/products/mag... On her suggestion, also vibing with the album that inspired it. The tea has a strong floral vibe, and is lovely with a little wildflower honey. Also has a tart, melancholic note that I can't quite describe. Very satisfying.

Hey it's me, Sonic the Hedgehog! Did you know that if you saved $100,000 a day every day from the birth of Jesus to today, you still wouldn't have 1/5th of Elon Musk's net worth? Does Elon Musk perform labor that is worth way over $100,000/day for 2000+ years? Or is something seriously wrong here?

Why is it that the billionaires who get away with paying zero taxes think they have a right to decide how my tax dollars are spent?

“The thing that I can’t get over is that the actual richest man in the world directed my fucking firing. I make $50k a year and work to keep drinking water safe. The richest man in the world decided that was an expense too great for the American taxpayer.”

@alexdainis.bsky.social attempted a semi-comprehensive dive into the published science of water fluoridation. If you want to actually be informed on the issue, she did the leg work for you. If you just want to shout at people, YouTube comments are always great for that. Our latest Reactions. 🧪

The wildest conservative nightmare scenarios never had George Soros sending teams of commissars to federal agencies to determine who should be fired and what legally-mandated spending should be permitted while killing oversight of his own businesses.

I am so tired of playing this game where @democrats.org expect me to pretend that the right doesn't want to murder me. Stop negotiating with them! Stop playing their game! THE GOP WANTS ME DEAD, and I wish you centrists would stop pretending that they're normal people with "differences of opinion."

Great piece, @gorskon.bsky.social. Office space, lab space, library access are all essential to research, but included as indirects. 🧪 Given time these could be built into direct costs for future grants. Run fast, break things is sometimes just stupid. sciencebasedmedicine.org/doge-vs-the-...

The Democrats could be saying "when we next get in power we will restore trans people's access to passports". Why aren't they? For what possible reason are they not?

Day one of Obama's term, the GOP was facing the same odds and declared unanimously and unambiguously that they would not help him a lick and anyone who didn't like it could eat shit. It largely worked, and they left the literal playbook for the Dems - who have instantly surrendered.
