I love watching the Dodgers spring training games but MLBTV/SportsNet LA keeps breaking my brain with the syncing issues between the audio and video.

Every day: 5calls.org

At least after DOGE compromises taxpayer data we'll get six free months of credit monitoring.

And there go our elections…

well it has certainly been an amusing prank to let the worst people alive take over the american government for a few weeks, but I think it's probably gone on long enough

If one can ignore judicial rulings, one can ignore executive orders, right?

The real immigrant taking jobs

I do not like this man one bit but it’s amazing what passes for Entertainment News now…

sorry i've been so testy lately. it's just because of every single thing in the entire world

Federal software contractor Dan Hon (who’s worked with HHS, Head Start, Medicaid/Medicare, DOD) has a great & informative thread about Musk’s seizure of the government’s computing systems. [bsky.app]

If you're protesting tomorrow: "I invoke my rights to silence and counsel and will not answer questions without my attorney present." MEMORIZE THAT, because aside from asking if you're free to leave (or providing ID if you're in a stop and ID state), that's the ONLY thing you ever say to cops.

Passing on a note from a colleague: People with federal student loans should download their files IMMEDIATELY. These files are currently on the studentaid.gov website, which may get deleted if Trump follows through with his EO to shut down DOE

In its simplest terms, the apparent demise of #USAID is the result of the world's richest man ending a program that helps millions of poor people. You don't need a Ph.D. in moral theology to see why this is an evil. You can just read Jesus's parables on the rich and the poor.

Here's the speech if you haven't heard it. 13 minutes of your time. Share it with your American friends and neighbours, because they won't see it otherwise. Circulate it in Mexico and Denmark, France and the UK, Panama and Germany, Poland and Estonia, and especially -- especially -- Ukraine.

I really don’t think it’s happenstance that pretty much every remaining institutional safeguard broke down within 15 years of Citizens United

Stevie and I loved this chonky little birb on walk this week along the lake.

Don’t let all the evil in the world make you forget all the good. 🌱

weird that trump didn't campaign on all of the incredibly unpopular things that turned out to be his immediate policy priorities

Someone at the Kingston antique mall is Going Through It.

The "he's not gonna listen to her" reactions are missing many points. Lots of other people are also hearing it. Lots of people can see him hearing it, then weigh what she's said with what he'll do. Lots of people can see her refusal to surrender these ancient teachings to the latest face of empire

A president’s executive order cannot undo a law or a Supreme Court decision, let alone a provision of the Constitution. Forget that and you do have a dictatorship on day one.

Google AI told me to report the dead bird on my roof to a phone sex line in case you were wondering how This Whole Thing is going!

Is it wrong that I want to sit in a bookstore surrounded by paper words but read on my kindle? Probably.

Please look at this giant panda named He Hua who is famous for being shaped like onigiri.

Word of the day is ‘depooperit’, from 18th-century Scots: ‘enfeebled both mentally and physically’.

This is a great script to use with your REPUBLICAN Senators to push against Hegseth confirmation.

this is the thing I’ll never understand about these chodes — like how fucking broken do you have to be to know you could literally wipe out so much of what ails the world and then actively, publicly, vociferously choose not to

We are finally reaching a point where climate change is forcing agribusinesses to assess their viability. If a 60+ y.o. company with 53,000 acres can't find a profitable way to grow citrus in FL, they won't be the only ones who pull out of the market. www.fooddive.com/news/alico-e...

Word of the Day is ‘uhtcearu’ [ucht-kay-aru, with the 'ch' as in the Scottish ‘loch']: Old English for ‘the sorrow before dawn', when you lie awake in the darkness and worries crowd your mind.

Is there a name for when you ask someone to do something and they do it badly, so you think they aren't good at doing that thing and never ask again? There must be a word or phrase for this right?

Watching footage of Los Angeles on fire while charging a battery pack and buying bottled water in case the power grid fails in Texas again this weekend due to the cold. What the fuck are we doing?

SoCal friends, I’m so sorry you’re dealing with this. A few things I wish I’d known as we evacuated ahead of a wildfire (that took our home in 2021) 🧵
