Thinking about it now, my idea of a completely decentralized, encrypted, mesh-networked internet commons with connections made only by certificate exchange isn't such a bad idea.

Someone should say to TACO: Hey I heard Biden wants to reopen Alcatraz! And see if TACO thinks that's a horrible idea that only Biden would say.

Happy Pride! Get those cans of soup ready!

The 1st PRIDE was a RIOT.

Want to influence the future? Start writing books. Fill them with prompts. When the AI agents come to hoover any newly released books (illegally) they’ll ingest one giant prompt.

So this is what 50 feels like.

🚨 ALERT: US TRANS FOLX 🚨 Keshet is offering loans of up to $10,000 for trans folks looking to escape their State to a safer (blue) State. You don't have to be Jewish to apply. 👉🏻 www.keshetonline.org/movetothrive/

Happy TDOV!

ICE has already moved Rumeysa Ozturk to Louisiana in violation of a court order signed last night ordering her not to be removed from Massachusetts. This is rendition to avoid legal process and to torture detainees in Louisiana. apnews.com/article/tuft...

Finland and Denmark have issued official warnings to their trans citizens from traveling to the US. This follows Germany issuing a similar warning. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/m...

Not OK. Do not erase our history! www.npr.org/2025/03/05/n...

I just watched fascism in action. Anticipatory compliance by Tumwater School Board. They voted against state and federal law to discriminate against trans students. Fuck them. Fuck their mealy mouthed excuses. I hope they enjoy their expensive fight in court to defend their bigotry.

And they voted to ban trans girls from sports. Trans boys though, seemingly ignored.

If you are unvaccinated against the measles, go get one now. A baby with measles just flew into LAX. Potential superspreader event.

Major news! A court in Montana has just declared SB458, a bill that "defines sex" in a way that ends the legal recognition of transgender people in Montana, as facially unconstitutional. This is the first time a bill defining sex has been ruled on! Huge win for trans people in MT!

Today was a great day to stand up for trans rights and trans youth on the steps of the capitol of Washington State.
