For the love of God, when looking at my modest hobby successes in #running do not call me a machine or grinding. I don't do this without a soul. I just enjoy doing it?

"Meta has spent over $100 billion on VR"

While Trump “floods the zone,” we must stay focused.  NO to oligarchy, tax breaks for the rich and cuts to working class programs. NO to authoritarianism and unlimited power for one man. YES to growing the union movement and raising wages. YES to health care as a human right.

Roses are red, Violets are blue. I still get my seasonal covid and flu vaccines, and I think you should too. #healthpolicyvalentines

the single most un-american and anti-constitutional statement ever uttered by an american president

The Treasury Department right now. People are turning out against Musk and DOGE staging a takeover of the Treasury’s payment system. This crowd is big. The whole block is packed. “Lock him up,” everyone yells.

I just booted up my Tumblr again and boy howdy that's the joy I needed

@eliserandallmodica.bsky.social it's a silly platform but I'm glad you're here

The price of eggs in the US is spiking, mostly due to #H5N1 bird flu. Solving the problem requires urgent, important communications from the CDC & FDA* and rapid development of research by the NIH** * Currently paused by Executive Order ** Grant reviews now all canceled www.kcur.org/news/2025-01...

Some background: Spielberg personally phoned Lynch and asked him to play Ford. Lynch refused. Spielberg sent him the script anyway. Lynch then said: "i agree with Ford that a horizon in the middle is boring as shit." He then said yes, and demanded unlimited Cheetos in his dressing room/on set.

#tdih #MLKDay Our only hope today lies in our ability to recapture the revolutionary spirit and go out into a sometimes hostile world declaring eternal hostility to poverty, racism, and militarism. . . --Rev.

American teens are flocking to a new video app

Running is Type 2 fun because you decide to link up with a friend, suffer in some amount of pain together, and then smile and have a selfie afterwords. Threshhold 3 mile repeats amirite? #running

If you're bummed about all the Meta news like I am, come on down to AGDQ 2025 where Trans Rights flow in abundance.

www.threads.net/@beinglibera... Corrupt AF Netanyahu: "You can't be President of US last time I checked right?" Treasonous AF Musk: "Not officially." Netanyahu: *laughs* — "OK, so you're the unofficial President..." Donnie will not like this.

Barack Obama has shared his top erotic free-to-play games of 2024

"Okay, get some snaps of that Mangione character, but you better not pull any bullshit where he looks like the subject in a 16th century painting called 'Christ taken at the Garden of Gethsemane'." "Okay, now don't be mad but..."

“Is it okay for a social media platform to be an echo chamber” back in the day we had websites and websites were generally focused on a single topic and if you were into that topic you would visit that website and if you weren’t into that topic you just didn’t go on that website and it was fine

My dumb running opinion if the day is your running needs to be fun and meaningful to you. If that's 80-20 training and Maff do it. If it's headphones and sprints do it. But go do it. #running

And mostly fuck the enshittification of the internet that has put generative AI everywhere and fucks our students' perceptions of what is and is not real.

Okay, this one got me.

Last night, I spoke with Amnesty International's executive director about their new report on Israel's war in Gaza and its conclusion that Israel is committing genocide. www.youtube.com/watch?v=oPSi...

I know this makes me sound like an old fuddy duddy, but making my favorite animation list makes me realize just how much I miss hand drawn animation. The little imperfections, the warmth, the lines squiggling here and there. You could feel the humanity in every frame. Everything looks so clean now.

Oh Mai, our first post on Bluesky! 🔥

I need y'all to understand that the first run in the snow at night is the best. Cold weather running is magic. #running

Gobble Gobble Shake out yall. Let's see if I can run fast ish tomorrow. Check out my activity on Strava: strava.app.link/sGph6c3lSOb

Politico covers the story that may be getting lost amid coverage of the federal politics of education: "An aggressive Republican campaign to pump hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars into private education is continuing across the country, even after voters in three states rejected the idea."

UMass/Amherst (left) and Wesleyan University are both warning their international students to be on American soil before noon on Jan 20 -- Inauguration Day.

Every year on Thanksgiving at 12pm, I, like many others, turn on the radio to listen to "Alice's Restaurant." Growing up, I'd sit w/my parents and listen; now, I sit w/my kids Alice died today at 83 You can get anything you want at Alice's Restaurant (excepting Alice) www.wbur.org/news/2024/11...

Don't capitulate on a single goddamn thing. Trans people deserve the whole fucking world.

Trans rights are human rights.

@youngking45.bsky.social comrade. How do I use this thing?

Don't despair; organize. (Especially love the hopeful suggestion that, if the Supreme Court throws out the NLRA, there could be a silver lining of increased organizing in labor-friendly states.) jacobin.com/2024/11/labo...

I know it is just like old blue bird (which I left eons ago) but I still haven't figured out HOW to use this thing.

Deeply proud to have edited the incredible @supercrip1994.bsky.social on this important piece about how the mass layoffs are especially impacting disabled developers. Please read: www.ign.com/articles/how...
