This is the most wretched campaign of deliberate, explicit persecution the United States has perpetrated against a minority group in decades. Many of the most important people in politics and journalism are busying themselves trying to figure out how little to say or do about it.

JFC I’m having to check myself like every 3 minutes to untense my shoulders and neck. They go right back to just pulled up toward my ears. For good reason, lbr. I’ve gotta use my punching bag or something to maybe stretch that to 5-10 fucking minutes.

@taylortomlinson.bsky.social is one of us. Taylor, respectfully passing on some info, she pronounces it M’Graah. #Merlin #KatieMcGrath #Supercorp If you ever get to meet her I will be so goddam fucking happy for you, and I hope she gives you a book.

What in the absolute fuck is going on at the University of Cincinnati? For the record, trans men are just as biological as any other sort of man. They aren't made of metal or something.

Posting my embroidery so people can find me... 🐯 #embroidery #handembroidery

In today's edition of some distraction from stress, I present:

This is really something

yooo I was just cited in a federal opinion & I'm ecstatic! I argued that the Supreme Court's originalist guns jurisprudence is asinine so lower court judges don't know how to apply it, & in footnote 17 this judge is like YEAH lmao www.scribd.com/document/823... ballsandstrikes.org/scotus/secon...

This is a Jim Jones moment.

Gift of toe beans. @thelazybam.bsky.social

There was an episode of the Behind the Bastards podcast that quoted an essay titled "The Crisis of Masculinity" from an Esquire article written in 1958 by Arthur Schlesinger Jr. The entire article is interesting, but I think about this passage (that was quoted on the episode) CONSTANTLY

hey @mattyglesias.bsky.social, the piece that you link to here — my piece — does not say that “all DEI critics want to reimpose segregation” and i would appreciate it if you didn’t lie to your audience about what my work says.

Good morning beautiful Earpers ☀️ Happy #DomIsTheBombThursday Wishing you all a day as bright and beautiful as their smile 💜💜💜 #WynonnaEarp

This youtuber has a more recent version that doesn’t require a Kindle serial number if you want to go that way. Amazon already removes book from your library at will, but at least you have your downloaded copy. But starting Feb. 26, they are removing the ability to download. Save now.

Tyranny requires your fear, your silence, and your compliance. Democracy requires your courage.

It was an honor to sign the guest book in the home of Anne Frank. I was here as a younger man and thought about her life as a dark chapter of history. Today, I can’t help but think of her story as one of caution. Our world is fragile, and it’s incumbent on us not to break it.

In today's edition of some distraction from stress, I present:

President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russia’s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraine’s voice is heard on the world stage.

Making MapQuest my map app of choice forever now.

You asked, we got busy — ditch the ads on iOS (If you’re into that): apps.apple.com/us/app/mapqu... *mumbles to self* OK...SO: - Ads feedback? ✅ - Ridic but fun Gulf name generator? ☑️ - Fix annoying navigation voice? NEVER

Ok, Bluesky friends, please help my memory. Who wrote the epic, hilarious essay about the author reading what Dwayne Johnson eats in a day and then expands into how heinous his farts must be as a result? I remember cry/laughing at this essay. It was a pretty well known writer. It was beautiful.

DOGE is proving that AI is oversold. It has fucked up in so many ways the cuts they are making that proves it is not a solution. What a colossal waste.

Oh, look what normal countries do when a former president leads a far right coup attempt.

Just a ginger cat being ginger spicy.

I am not making this up: Republicans have introduced legislation… to increase your bank fees.

I apologize for reminding you of her, but I need to say this. Brianna Wu, go fuck yourself. There's nothing real about you but greed and nothing valuable about you at all. You have the soul of a wasp and the brain of a cinder block, and as hard as you try, you won't hurt us. You will never matter.

Whatever else emerges in time about the Delta crash in Canada, one thing is certain: the importance & amazing professionalism of flight attendants who safely evacuated the plane in a matter of seconds.

Even the most disturbing RFK Jr. headline always manages to have a detail inside creepier than you could have imagined. I’m sorry, did you just say Black kids should have a chance to get “re-parented”???? Gift link wapo.st/4hW2xGI

That’s a really good effing goal.

Wonder if Elon could survive a week on the salary we make. While he burns through $8 million a day, the working class struggles—yet he paints us as the enemy.

Go ahead. Let the people see you for what you are.

This is why you fight these cowards. The moment you stand up to them, they crumble. Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights. He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

At a hockey game this weekend, Canadians loudly booed the US national anthem—and then turned around and proudly sang their own with full-throated joy. The contrast couldn’t have been clearer.

I’m watching S1 of The Ex-Wife and it’s so tense I can barely stand it. They play music like a horror movie waiting for a jump scare. It sounds the same as Paranormal Activity. And it triggers my fear of toddlers.

Gorgeous capture. You can just barely see the funnel. Fantastic prep and good luck to get the composition of the supercell with the road and fence lines and then to get the lightning on top of all that. Being in the right place at the right time and camera ready.

When a judge stops the president from doing something illegal, that’s not a “threat to democracy,” that’s a check on the president’s power. That's the whole damn point.

Because I'm having a sick day, I'm rewatching 2nd season episodes of Supergirl, mostly because I love Alex's coming out story, but it's doing double duty of helping me imagine a world where @lyndacarter.bsky.social is the US president instead of...whatever they have now...
