Sometimes I’m late because the dog had to go out more than once and traffic was really bad and I forgot I had to get gas, and sometimes I’m late because I was sitting on the edge of the bed like this for too long

I am hoping for some good things to happen, care to join me?

What a crazy coincidence that NONE of these houseplants seem to be cut out for my unique brand of tough love

Ed and I have productive disagreements over whether AI has any useful applications at all but I agree with this completely

Zelensky needs to take the gloves off and just start calling him Putin's lapdog and asking what kompromat Putin has on him at every public event. Slava Ukraini.

Wild to see how much Republicans like Scott Jennings are enjoying watching hundreds of thousands of Americans lose their jobs.

no no we don't say "empty carbs" anymore. the preferred term is "emotional support carbs"

My deepest respect to the legends who learn English as a second language, like honestly how do you even carry on after getting to the word “queue”

For nearly 400 years, countless people perished aboard slave ships—whether from disease, execution, or suicide—and were thrown overboard. The numbers were so vast that sharks learned to follow the transatlantic slave routes, feeding on the bodies of the dead. open.substack.com/pub/1nadines...

Actually HuffPost is absolutely afraid. Today they shuttered their climate desk and offered 20% of overall journalists overall. Seems odd when they just got a cozy office closer to this fetid administration. So I won't be reading them anymore. Also notice they're trying to profit off the chaos.

SCOOP: Cats that became infected with bird flu might have spread the virus to humans in the same household and vice versa, according to data that briefly appeared online in a report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention but then abruptly vanished. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/06/h...

I am happy to say the "Followers only" reply setting is getting implemented. We're also adding a way to set default reply settings If you want your posts to default to "Followers only," that'll become an option

🚨BREAKING: New York appellate court UPHOLDS John R. Lewis Voting Rights Act of New York. This reverses a lower court decision in a case from Newburgh, NY. This is a big victory for the minority voters who brought suit and voting rights in the Empire State. www.democracydocket.com/cases/new-yo...

Don't call it a "detention camp" at Guantanamo. It's a CONCENTRATION CAMP.

The next time you hear someone say the courts won't help protect democracy, send them this video. It is why I say democracy is on the docket! youtu.be/4s--iiS0lOA

The same people wailing about DEI literally can’t spell their own job title.

Finn would like you to see his moo cow

PROP - PR Over Policy. Don't confuse them. He is flooding the zone. He knows that media will cover everything he does. Getting people upset. Which helps give him more coverage of the upset people. All just talking about him. Dems need to be strategic.

just going to pin this thread because I do truly believe that the central problem of our time is that so many of us have effectively been robbed of free will by the redirection of our attention -- which not enough of us understand is the root of what we call "free will"

Just making sure that everyone is aware of this crab that NOAA scientists found

We had to get in on the video action too — Bluesky now has custom feeds for video! Like any other feed, you can choose to pin these or not. Bluesky is yours to customize.

In 1912, an article was published in Popular Mechanics titled, The Effect of the Combustion of Coal on the Climate — What Scientists Predict for the Future. We knew then, and we know now, but even so, coal consumption in 2022 rose by 3.3% to 8.3 BILLION tonnes.

Echeveria putting on a real show this year.

With really weird things happening to journalism, I see people turning to substacks or other newsletters (often paid). But I can't find anyone talking about how libraries can provide access to (or preserve) these resources. Anyone having these discussions?

Scoop: As Donald Trump gets ready to take power, CNN boss Mark Thompson has informed Jim Acosta that he would like to move his show to the graveyard hours. Details in @status.news: www.status.news/p/jim-acosta...

"Tom Goldstein, a publisher of SCOTUSblog and one of the most experienced U.S. Supreme Court lawyers in the country, was indicted Thursday in Maryland federal court on charges he schemed to evade taxes for years and used funds from his boutique law firm to cover gambling debts."

Town: Our doctors, nurses, teachers etc. can no longer afford to live in our community, we’re proposing to make it easier to build more housing. Residents: NO! —1 year later— Residents: Why’s my favorite restaurant closing? Why do I wait 5 hours at the hospital? Town: 😐

"To summarize, because of how stupid it all is: American lawmakers banned a cravenly capitalistic app for being too communist and ended up sending users to an even more capitalistic app." @ryanhatesthis.bsky.social does not miss: www.garbageday.email/p/america-s-...

If we're really going to change the name of the Gulf of Mexico, the folks in the Florida Keys have this bipartisan proposal.

Adobe has officially jumped the shark. Their AI remove feature in lightroom just added a bitcoin to my gull bird in flight photo. A bitcoin!?! Image 1 is the raw file. Image 2 is the result of removing three circle highlights in the water. Image 3 is a 100% crop. Bitcoin. WTAF. #photographers

You don't do this. No ethical person does this to their vendors and partners. This is the hallmark of a crook. www.wired.com/story/metas-...
