Instead of screen time report I want a log in report. Instead of Spotify wrapped, I want a log in wrapped. “You wasted 49 hours 18 min this year resetting passwords, getting verification codes, choosing all the motorcycles, and opening authentication apps.”

The deep goal of bluesky is to decentralize the social internet so that every individual controls their experience of it rather than having it be controlled by 5 random billionaires. Everyone thinks they signed up for a demuskified twitter...we actually signed an exciting and bizarre experiment.

In 2018, Hegseth's mother called him out as an "abuser" and asked him to "get some help." Instead, he joined a church with a long history of shielding abusers, blaming victims, and saying men "dream of being rapists" because of feminism. www.salon.com/2024/12/03/p...

Six decades later, Star Trek may still be the only franchise based on the ideas that diversity is strength, justice is the measure of civilization, bounty is to be shared, peace is worth the price, and all these things can be achieved. We need more shows that look ahead and find goodness.

Still possibly my favorite #thanksgiving thing ever ... my younger brother Matt made this for a school assignment when he was little. It reads: "I am thankful for the earth's crust because if we did not have it we would all die"

This is getting overlooked, but the whole premise of Trump's threat of tariffs is based on a lie. He's claiming Mexico must be bullied into stopping migrants. But Mexico is already doing this. That's a big reason crossings have dropped. 1/ (new piece) newrepublic.com/article/1888...
