Oof. Not a good evening for the folks out in Knox County, Texas (southwest of Wichita Falls, TX). #txwx

The government claims Christians are persecuted when they can’t impose their beliefs on others — but when Christians like Rev. Barber pray for justice in the Capitol, they’re arrested. Hey Pam Bondi, we’d like to report some anti-Christian bias.

The government has asked for help reporting anti-Christian bias so please help get the word out and make sure everyone reports this incident to: [email protected]

The fact that they’re tracking autism and not the bird flu automatically tells you they’re operating on eugenics and not actually wanting people to be healthy. They want you sick, disabled, or dead.

Oh yeah, lolmets is back y'all!

The true meaning of ‘We Are Stronger Together’. 💙

No attorney general should ever speak like this. She's Trump's advocate, not the people's lawyer, which is what the AG's job is. Whatever state she is barred in should start disciplinary proceedings immediately. This isn't subtle or arguable, it's wrong.

Pikes Peak has been named “America’s Mountain” as it can be seen for miles when traveling west across the plains. Take a ride up with us to the summit on the Pikes Peak Cog Railway and learn more about the storied history of the mountain. jacobmartellaphotogr... #photography

Fuck this. This is hands down the best Smithsonian Museum. There are definitely parts that are hard to get through, but it's extremely important that we face the hard truths of the past of this country. Erasing history is not something that the good guys do ever.

Man. Another world is possible. www.pv-magazine.com/2025/04/22/s...

NEW VIDEO: LeBron is a billionaire, but even he’s out here watching sports on StreamEast. Watching sports was simple. But blackouts (inc. playoffs!), too many apps and rising prices are the tip of the iceberg. New video on why it’s so hard to watch sports: youtu.be/9fgkmIanDkk?...

🚨 NEW: The DOJ wants to break up Chrome from Google — the consequences could be catastrophic for the web. 📖 Read our article: Break Google's search monopoly without breaking the web. 👇Link: open-web-advocacy.org/blog/break-g... /1

He’s no Josh Lewin, but Dave Raymond has really grown on me as the Rangers’ tv pxp guy. Calls it like he sees it.

Escadaria Selarón is a set of colorful stairs covered in tiles and artwork. The stairs were created by Chilean-born artist Jorge Selarón who said it was his tribute to the Brazilian people. #photography

Somewhere in the midst of the javascript frameworks and the nonsense valuations and the shitty AI features and the RTO plans and the godawful union busting, we forgot how much *joy* there is in making websites. Whatever happens with work from here, we need to get it back.

This isn't "deportation", it's*exile*. And it's black-letter illegal.

Standing at the 2,300 foot peak of the Corcovado mountain in Rio de Janeiro, the Christ the Redeemer statue looks over the entire city. It’s become an icon for both the city and Brazil and was voted as one of the New 7 Wonders of the World. #photography

This is obvious, but if people broadly rely on a black box to give them answers that help them understand the world, whoever controls the black box controls those answers and therefore the understanding that comes from them. Openness is safety.

In an executive order, Trump targeted the Smithsonian and the National Museum of African American History & Culture suggesting that it is “divisive” and pedaling “improper ideology.” So, I took a trip back to the museum, and what I saw was a place trying to tell the unvarnished truth about America.

I see this, too. Let me be clear: the "burden on society" starts and ends with a predatory billionaire class that needs to be taught a very difficult lesson in humility. That won't happen until we make it happen Neurodiversity, like all diversity, is a strength, not a weakness. Value humanity.

Here's something you don't see every day: a tornado warning just south of Buffalo, NY. Thankfully it appears to just be a radar indicated tornado and nothing on the ground.

With baseball season back in full swing, let’s throw it back to the 2023 Texas Rangers World Series championship parade! #photography

Did not have "having to track severe weather and tornadoes tonight" on my bingo card. Good news is that the worst of it is still well to the west, but it's going to be a long night.

I’m seeing a lot of people making fun of their incompetence for this, but that’s not what this is. This whole regime is a gang of bullies, headed by a bully, and like all bullies, they’re cowards. Stand up to them, and they whimper away.

digital communities are portable if you build and nurture them right over time. you can pack your stuff up and move away from a bad place and the community will come along (and help you pack)

Good Friday thought: growing up I always wondered why the crowd demanded the release of Barabbas, an insurrectionist, rather than Jesus. Unfortunately, the last 8+ years have answered my question.

As promised, here's a longer video going over what I've built so far for the Digital Shopfront CMS dashboard. Still a very long way to go, but good progress so far! www.youtube.com/watc... #Laravel #BuildInPublic

This is funny to me coming from a party that can't message FOR SHIT. Also, DO BOTH THINGS, YOU FUCKING LOSERS. DO BOTH THINGS. There are HUNDREDS OF YOU IN FEDERAL OFFICE.

It's OK if you used to love Harry Potter. There are serious problems with the series, AND there are genuinely meaningful and magical things in it that shaped a lot of us. It's OK to mourn it and not think it always sucked. But not a dime to that woman EVER again. You HAVE to love trans people more.

it's hard to find a motivation for DOGE other than 'hatred of the good.' these are bad people fundamentally envious or un-understanding of the idea that you might work or give for others, and attempting to punish it.

Firefox marking the word "Maundy" (as in Maundy Thursday) as misspelled is driving me crazy trying to set up the stream for my church for tomorrow night. I know I'm spelling it right; stop feeding my self doubt!

Mansfield (TX) friends don't let Mansfield friends vote for Julie Short for mayor. At best she's grasping at straws and misrepresenting data because she can't win in any other way. At worse, it feels there's something else going on.

Trump’s sputtering response to Harvard standing up to him is yet another reason why institutions should refuse to bend the knee. He’s a paper tiger, unable to argue his own case.

As soon as I see "Breaking News" I go to the P-2025 document. It's lined up perfectly so far.

You know the baseball seasosn has officially started when lolmets makes a comeback.

lolmets is back on the menu!

It is really bothering me (understatement) that the message is “bring back that one innocent guy” and not “WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK SHUT DOWN THIS WHOLE OPERATION IMMEDIATELY.”

the entire party should be destroyed.

Trans men are men. Trans women are women. Nonbinary people are non binary. Trans rights are human rights. And everyone has the right to be, and be loved, as they are.

Protect trans kids.

The largest paying crowd in the history of Wrigley Field was the day Jackie Robinson made his debut. Wrigley is the only park left Jackie played a game in. Mike Ryoko was a kid at that ballpark that day and he wrote about it. Take a minute and read this today. press.uchicago.edu/Misc/Chicago...

Destroy DOGE, undo every bit of its work, and render every DOGE employee unemployable in their professional field for life. End their careers and shame them in every way we can. And make them see that we fixed the government and everything they did was for naught.

Apparently matt couldn't even be bothered to show up to the #wordpress release chat in Slack today as the release lead. It's obvious he doesn't care about the project, only the money.
