one thing I've become very convinced of is the need for the civil service to do waaayyyy more propaganda. like you should know about how NOAA makes the weather app on your phone work. you should know that Uncle Sam runs GPS. you should know how impressive the US census data collection effort is, etc

Let's talk about the Sexualized Dystopia aspect of Kubrick's "A Clockwork Orange." 🎬 We know the movie is set in a light-dystopian future/dimension with weirdly-dressed violent gangs, government crackdowns on dissidents, and police routinely driving people out to the outskirts to brutalize them. 🧵

Great illustration of why Dems need to reach all those people who live in strongly conservative areas like northern #Michigan but aren't themselves strongly conservative.

I can't speak for anyone else, But a thing that I am finding is really helping me to get through all this nonsense is helping others. It can be something small- sharing a job ad with a fired colleague, looking over a resume- or something larger. But helping others helps me.

@activetowns.bsky.social , is there a name for reducing the number of side street / main street intersections for cars, which would improve safety for everyone on the main street? Intersections would remain usable for pedestrians, just closed to cars. Do you know of efforts to do this?

Most on this site know that federal workers are good people who work hard. But it's striking to see the data. Federal workers put in more hours a week than anyone except military and self-employed. Federal workers take fewer days off than almost any others www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Whoah, Soderbergh stripped the color and soundtrack from Raiders of the Lost Ark, replacing it with a Reznor/Atticus collab as a staging exercise and it's gorgeous extension765.com/blogs/soderb...

Rarely has so much ignorance & ahistorical BS been crammed into a single tweet. I know JD Vance & Donald Trump are busy surrendering to a KGB butcher, abandoning the cause of freedom, & destroying the security of America & her allies, but they'd do well to spend some time actually studying history.

If we allow women's pants to have pockets, they might use them to shoplift small amounts of rice and raisins out of supermarkets. The risk is simply too great.

Does this JFK/RFK/MLK document release do anything other than scratch some boomer nostalgia itch? Is it reasonable to assume anything important is going to come out of this, or is it flooding the system so we pay less attention to actual horrible current events?
