“If not gestapo, why gestapo shaped?”

I’ve been hanging onto these images for literally years waiting for the the right moment to post them and it’s safe to say that day is finally here

The mayor of Tulsa announced plans for a $105 million private charitable trust to provide descendants of the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre with housing assistance and scholarships

people need to internalize, very quickly, that federal research grants are a hypercompetitive contracting process not charity, and that what Uncle Sam gets in return for that money is American dominance in the future

“is my calculator horny?“ our tech columnist asks. “i entered 5318008 into it and turned it upside down. what i saw surprised me”

I love you, @kexp.bsky.social, but I change the channel so fast when you play the frog song.

Sometimes out of nowhere I think about Jellyroll trying to sing Johnny Cash

Probably not good that the answer to “which companies would collaborate with a fascist regime that’s trying to kill their employees and customers?” is “basically all of them”

I see articles about Target losing a *billion* dollars over DEI rollback boycotts. That's good, but these journalists need to frame this better. Don't give me: "Target loses billions over DEI boycotts." Try: "DEI support is a billion dollar selling feature, as Target's costly mistakes prove."

Seriously, wut? 😡😡😡

The Times defense of higher education, while welcome, still engages in a lot of the tropes that Trump is using. I would love if there was some reflection on the role the Times has played, especially on its opinion page, which has been blasting higher ed for a decade. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/15/o...

Look to the skies above the Space Needle on Friday night, as more than 30 laser beams shine from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m., for "GuideStar," an immersive installation created by New York-based visual artists Mendi + Keith and presented by Wa Na Wari.

I have only ever read the manga version of Jane Eyre (sorry mom) but the @sparknotes.bsky.social memes about it make me laugh every time.

Why isn't Seattle on this list? These research cuts could destroy our local economy...and harm people. Mayor Harrell must be too busy wondering why his poll numbers are down to do his job. Seattle deserves leaders who will fight for us!

Back on my stress reaction bullshit

Seattle folks: there is a massive fundraiser this weekend supporting immigrant rights nonprofits. Lots of local restaurants and businesses are donating a portion of their profits. Eat good food, help a good cause: bit.ly/m/seattlefun...

If you give me the aux cord for long enough it’s gonna come around to Styx and Yes.

Genuinely thought I created a genius new way to cook panini without a panini press but sadly I just overcooked the panini. They were pretty though.
