Teachers teach. We need a leaderful movement, and there are leaders all around us.

I hope America is as lucky as the delta jet - everyone survives but the right wing explodes

Donald Trump says he wants to rid our country of rapists and criminals. Is he going to resign?

Boy I don't like the phrase "internal checks on Musk's access to intel unclear." www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

In the meantime, our chickens are giving us an egg surplus.

According to my 2yo, "that" is not a pronoun. It is, specifically, French toast. As in, "I want THAT!" #SaturdayBrunch

1. Donald Trump's pick for FBI Director, Kash Patel, has a wealth of experience... ... grifting Trump supporters Let's review

"'I’m getting prepared for the worst' Senator Chris Murphy said in an interview with The Bulwark. 'Which is, you know, arrest warrants for members of Congress, shutdowns of not-for-profit organizations that are trying to cross Donald Trump.'" New from Sam Stein:

If Trump's first administration was stocked with Bond Villains, it seems like the second one is going with more of a Legion of Doom vibe. A brief thread...

The idea that Bluesky is insular and X is a place for diverse views is a fallacy. X is based on an algorithm rigged to push the views of Musk and others on the far right. Bluesky is open. You can make it whatever you want it to be.

The big story tonight is Russia’s overt attack on America’s election - they didn’t even try to hide it - yet it’s being hugely underreported. This is a huge deal - a superpower intervention to help Trump win.

I am so surprised at how people are freaking out about a result announcement pattern that is exactly the same as it usually is. Big cities take longer. The west coast is still voting. Turn off cable news.

I've had it with non-stop conflict. Too many people are being awful to others. This is all the fighting I can handle right now. #election #election2024 #nonstop #conflict #fight #fighting #battle #duel #goat #goats #vote #votevotevote #VoteBlueToStopACriminalDictator #VoteBlueToPreserveYourRights

Neil Gaiman: submitted for the approval of the midnight society, i call this the tale of the kitsune in love Kij Johnson: oh this sounds great Lafcadio Hearn: AHEM Hearn: i'll be the judge of that Hearn: you baka gaijin

Seattle area folks, batten down your hatches, high winds predicted tonight!

I'm just wondering, what is the real end game for Gym and the rest? He clearly doesn't understand that politics is persuasion, not force, and you can't just impose your rule by fiat (yet). Is it just a ploy to avoid funding Ukraine?

The idea that someone as ridiculous as Jim Jordan could be in contention to lead the House should make every American pause and wonder how the United States has come to such a moment. x.com/RadioFreeTom...

Many of the violent videos and images posted to social media since Hamas attacked Israel have been seeded by Hamas to terrorize civilians and take advantage of the lack of content moderation on some sites, including X and Telegram, a Hamas official and social media experts said.

Took some pics today from Maple Leaf Park in Seattle of two Cascade range peaks, Boomerang and Twin Peaks. To me, they look like a sleeping giant. imgur.com/gallery/0WNc... What do you think?

Like always with Alito, “controversial” just means loud and obviously wrong.

Trying to get rid of 7 little roosters from our recent hatchlings. Found one interested person in a rooster rehoming FB group. But he wants pictures to show to his wife, for approval. 19yo daughter finds it quite amusing that I'm pm'ing cockerel pics to strangers I met over the internet.

Why is it called “dad bod” and not “father figure?” … Yeah, I’ll leave.
