Postcard circa 1910-15. The propaganda hasn’t changed. Now some bearded man dressed in his best pre-ripped skinny jeans telling teenage boys that women “hit the wall” and become feminists.

If you haven't seen Niagara Falls in the winter, it's stunning

The day Doctor Who fans remember this is a semi-anthology show that will inevitably have at least one flop a year by the nature of the format is the day I can begin to know peace

This is the Beijing-Shanghai corridor, which takes 4 hours and 18 minutes to cover 800 miles. That’s the same distance as NYC to Chicago, which currently takes 20 hours by train. (Tansu Yegen)

in what previous context has anyone ever taken the failure to respond to an email in two days as evidence they want to resign from their job

I wouldn’t think “moved to root out diversity initiatives” is a useful phrase for journalism at all, but using it as a euphemism for a purge of high ranking black officers is downright Orwellian.

Of the Chiefs of Staff, vice chiefs of staff, and judge advocates general of the three branches, Trump fired all the women and Black people.

the ‘we had to abandon trans people to preserve funding’ thing is so funny to me. yeah man i’m sure Goebbels von Ethnostate will be persuaded to maintain PrEP funding by your complete and utter capitulation

The thing to remember about obeying in advancce is that we're no longer in advance.

W.E.B. Du Bois on the white takeover of southern public schools after Reconstruction. Not a coincidence that the chapter, "Back Towards Slavery," follows his analysis of the eventual dedegration of the public school system. Attacks on education are vital to (re)instituting authoritarian rule.

Infrastructure standards: If your bike lane can't support pulling a suitcase on wheels behind your bike, it's not engineered properly.

NEW — 19-year-old DOGE engineer Edward Coristine turns out to be the grandson of former KGB spy Valery Martynov, who played a role in a sprawling 1980s espionage saga. www.jacobsilverman.com/p/prominent-...

No technology is ever obsolete if it's all you have access to it gets the job done

Times like these I wish I was less well informed…

what is the oldest song that is a banger?

Naps are great for escaping reality.

Today #FebruArty & #FishyFeb meet with ‘deep sea’ as a prompt. So here’s an angler fish! 🐡🦑

FACT: no week is ever longer than a short work week.

I wish mornings weren’t so early.

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

Why is R. Dorothy Waynewright in Evangelion

“KILLING YOUR OWN CLONE IS STILL MURDER” is one of the hardest lines in Star Trek.

As I keep saying: when I say we need to steal from the right, that doesn’t mean I think we should lie. We should steal the effective stuff from their playbook and use it to be fierce advocates of the truth. Punch them in the face (rhetorically) with the truth as HARD as they throw shit at us.

Sure would be nice if the U.S. continued funding stuff like “vaccines for pancreatic cancer.”

I bet in the batman universe, therapists have an especially hard job because they know that if it doesn't work their patient might pop up again as, like, a villain named the Fish Fiend with a crew of longshoreman henchmen or something

Government isn’t a business.

Your regular reminder that the more often you own your mistakes, the easier it gets. It is like any muscle-- work it more and it gets stronger. All people mess up, and sometimes we do so publicly. It's not the end of the world to acknowledge that we missed the mark; it's how we clean up.

This is a stunning betrayal by Whitman Walker in DC. You CANNOT jettison the trans community to protect yourself. It’s shameful. I got my name changed at WWH. I have promoted their research. Now they are capitulating to save gay people at trans people’s expense by trying to erase us.

it is difficult to overestimate how scared sh*tless people are in climate spaces right now
