So I knew ‘What We Will Use as Weapons: A List of School Supplies’ (Ginny Robinson) took best of show at Quiltcon last year but I hadn’t realized there was ANOTHER prizewinning quilt in the same vein, ‘Uvalde, Texas’ (Alexis Pappas).

Even worse incompetence: they accidentally fired, then apparently today un-fired, hundreds of the people who manage America's nuclear weapons.

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

The CFPB has returned $21 BILLION to consumers. It’s the reason your overdraft fees aren’t 7x the amount. They go after the shitty customer service you love to complain about online and get you refunds. Killing the agency is taking money out of your pocket.

If you thought you were Portland’s most excited resident when snowflakes started fluttering down from the sky this morning, think again. No one could have been more excited to wake up to a white February than the Oregon Zoo’s most winter-ready residents www.oregonlive.com/entertainmen...

"Gulf of America" is just a loyalty test. It's a way of checking who is going to abrogate reality for no reason other than a cowardly refusal to stand up to the bully or an opportunistic willingness to toady up to one. Anyone who will call it that will help you round people up or look the other way.

It has happened here. Why use Iran as the boogeyman? White Christian zealots in the U.S. spent 50 years trying to destroy abortion rights and succeeded and will continue. Unlike in Iran, white Christian zealots were democratically elected It's easy to see theocrats when they don't look like you

"would you please put that in writing" is how you pull off insubordination without actually being insubordinate. Very useful when you are getting sketchy (whatever 'sketchy' might mean) instructions from someone who might not want to take responsibility for it later. signed, a former union steward.

Removing this from its original context today so as to avoid turning it into a dunk, but for the thousandth time: The word "till" in the sense of "until" predates the word "until" by a century and has been in regular use for a millennium, give or take. It's not an abbreviation; it's a word.

Ever wonder what snow in the swamp would look like? This is 5 miles into the Louisiana swamps in the Atchafalaya basin... it's unreal... having lived down there for the first 28 years of my life, we never saw anything like this. Smashed records. Curtesy of Garrett Roberts.

Excellent advice from the estimable Ben Wittes of @lawfare.bsky.social who, alas, is not here. “The Situation” is a regular feature on Lawfare and it’s always filled w wisdom. And quirky humor bc Ben has the quirkiest sense of humor ever. Also, like everyone there, he’s smart AF.

Fun fact: the r/math subreddit had a huge problem with math crackpots popping up so they created a honeypot subreddit, r/numbertheory, to collect all those cranks. Look at the sub description.

Yup. Microsoft automatically switched me to the $99.99/year version with Spicy Autocomplete. You have to go all the way through "cancel subscription" to be presented these options and get the $69.99/year one you actually chose.
