I owe the television part of my career to @joyannreid.bsky.social, as do so many other Black voices y'all never would have heard of if not for her. And *that's* why she's gone. They can treat black folks as interchangeable, but everybody Black knows that Joy was indispensable.

Saw the cutest toddler eating pizza with her mom and felt the deep, primal ache of a woman who wants refined carbs of her very own.

Flora is back. Say hi! 🦊

Someone came out of the yarn room

My apologies to the rest of Canada. Blossoms are blossoming in Victoria. #yyj

Do you like kittens? Say hi to the sweetest bebby, Mochi. #catsofbluesky

Amen to that.

I am grateful that so many people found my open letter to Elon Musk moving and want to share it. Some well meaning people are just cutting and pasting it on their social media feeds. I would appreciate it if people would link to the version posted on @democracydocket.com instead. Thanks. Marc

In a small trial, nearly half of pancreatic cancer patients who received an mRNA vaccine had no signs of relapse after three years. Dr. Vinod Balachandran from @mskcancercenter.bsky.social joins us to discuss the results and what they could mean for cancer treatment.

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

There are lots of things about 2025 that I couldn't have predicted but a fun one is me rooting for Christopher Walken and John Turturro to fuck

Grosse Point Blank is a highly underrated film

your outie holds a deep and abiding fondness for rugby. when their chosen team emerges victorious, a remarkable surge of joy overtakes them

Your outie smokes crack cocaine. Everyone loves them.

Me everyday at work 😂😂😂

About fucking time

When people with outies have sex with people with innies they lock together like meat legos

I've been writing a series of essays for PBS on men whose style I admire. The latest is about James Baldwin, a man who knew how to sing through clothes. www.pbs.org/wnet/america...

In future generations, when your children and grandchildren look back on this moment, they are not going to ask about the price of eggs. They are going to ask you what you did. Not what you felt. Not what you paid. But what you did. And I want to be able to say I did everything I possibly could.

Go to sleep to news that one of them was wielding a chainsaw on stage, wake up to news that one of them did yet another Sieg Heil on stage, at what point do people with the power to do something start treating them like they actually believe in the things they're very clearly saying and doing

Trump voters wanted the rest of us to suffer to feel great again. They wanted us to experience pain. The ones crying now with "I didn't know Trump would do that" mean they didn't think it would affect THEM. But they were perfectly fine with everyone else suffering. Alas. We're all in it now.

You can’t take our country — and you can’t take our game

Have to agree with most of what Jay Rayner has to say here (except on "natural" wines, some of which are reasonably good, some frightful...) www.theguardian.com/food/2025/fe...

nobody supports you more than that one internet friend you’ve never met

a female postal worker named Dee Liver somebody write that down

She is basically a face with a cloud attached.

So I’m walking to work in the beautiful city of New York and I see a swasticar and I swear to god I have no control over the faces I make when I see one. 😬🙄🤐😠🥴🤮 Btw, you never see a woman driving one I’ve those trucks 🤨

wait I think it’s called Ratatouille bc he’s a rat?

There are moments in these deportation fights when I can just FEEL how pissed off they are that I’m Puerto Rican 😂 they want to threaten me with it so bad 😂

It’s crazy that you still have to go outside when it’s cold

Thank you to @maddow.msnbc.com for promoting @bsky.app on air and complimenting it. Her on air support is truly important

Oh, yes, I would ❤️❤️❤️

The sun came out and confused the cat.

Congressmen when they are asked if they will cut THEIR budgets and lay off staff as well:

I follow French politics a lot, as many of you know. Any effort for mass layoffs of public sector employees there would create such huge strikes and marches, the level of disruption and paralysis would be biblical.

Where I am working to day. Indescribably wonderful library. @bodleianlibraries.bsky.social

On the tube and just managed to catch a sneeze with my elbow. The old guy opposite isn’t even grateful and keeps bleating on about how I've 'broken his nose.'

i will become a total shill for whichever politician decides to become the joe mccarthy of rooting out silicon valley ideology and influence

well worth a watch if you haven't seen it and Chris Sarandon is simply beautiful in it ❤️

We really need to reckon with how badly the "Just focus on STEM" crowd damaged democracy. The general population would be falling for a lot less propaganda if they actually had to sit down and understand Fahrenheit 451 and To Kill A Mockingbird.

Planes didn't crash when this guy ran things.

trying to imagine how loud the calls for my firing would be if i didn’t know who FDR was

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.

NEW 👀: As predicted, Judge Ho has ordered a hearing for 2 p.m. this Wednesday to explore why the DOJ has moved to dismiss the charges against NYC Mayor Eric Adams. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/17/n...
