Sharing this from Rt. Rev. Jonathan H. Folts, Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of South Dakota. “One of our own priests was targeted at his home—so let no one say, ‘it can’t happen here.’ It can. It has. It is. And rest assured, we will not remain silent or passive in responding.” My heart aches.

All over today. This is NYC.

Here's a list of DOGE staff, assembled and annotated by my colleagues at BI. Whatever you do, please don't share it. www.businessinsider.com/doge-staff-l...

At the Deathbed, by Edvard Munch, 1895

This is what revisionist history looks like, in real time. And this also is why it might appear that archaeologists and historians have to dig deep to discover the existence of powerful women and marginalized groups -- because their legacies are so often erased.

Retaliatory tariffs are all right and good but if Canada, Mexico and the EU want to get this over with sanctioning the hell out of Trump’s oligarchs seems like a force multiplier.

PLEASE SHARE 🧪‼️ Since CDC websites and datasets are being taken down by the Administration… The ENTIRE archive of ALL CDC datasets uploaded BEFORE January 28th, 2025 can be found here: archive.org/details/2025...

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent. Opportunities are everywhere. Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

The people now in charge of the Office of Personnel Management apparently don’t know how to scrub PDF metadata, and have exposed the original authors of the guidance they’re publishing. Two, Noah Peters and James Sherk, have links to the Heritage Foundation and Project 2025.

Nothing is more effective as a game walkthrough than an enormous plaintext document from gameFAQS dot com.

Trump’s team have taken Putin’s side over the Ukrainian assassination of a Russian general who authorised banned chemical weapons attacks on Ukrainian troops.

The glass amphipod Cystisoma is transparent because in the open ocean there is nowhere to hide, and its round head is completely covered in giant eyes. So when you're swimming far from shore just remember: you can't see them, but they can see you. 📽️ Dr. Alejandro Damian-Serrano 🧪🌊🌿🦑🐙

I have a MUCH better idea than forcing Christianity down young people’s throats:

Bsky is being flooded with German speaking AI powered bots. A thread on why this is important, ultimately making all social media is unusable. #deutschland #trolls #AI #election 1/ What happened? All these responses to a @zeit.de post have something in common (spoiler: they are not real):

Romania’s constitutional court has annulled the first round of the presidential election after declassified intelligence showed Russia ran a secret campaign on TikTok and Telegram to promote the Far Right first round winner Calin Georgescu, a complete outsider. This is how you do it.

The battery revolution is gonna catch people off guard. This whole house 10kw battery was over $10,000 when I first started pricing taking my home off grid due to Ohio’s forced coal and gas policies just a few years ago. $2,300 today: sungoldpower.com/products/pow...!

Some fun Spotify wrapped stats: 86%: How many tracks artists say Spotify has demonetized on its platform. $0.004: How much the average artist makes per stream. US$114M: Spotify CEO's investment firm spending on AI military tech. $0: How much the intern who says she created Wrapped was paid.

Honestly, as much as I hated Thanksgiving this year, I am kind of glad I did. I saw one of my uncle-in-laws while there, and my mom just informed me his dementia progressed to the point where he no longer recognizes my auntie. Between this, and among many other things, fuck this year.

Unless Congress acts in the next three weeks, Medicare will stop covering telehealth. For people too sick to leave home for months, including millions who have been disabled by Covid, this will mean losing all access to healthcare. Please sign this petition urging your representatives to act

what the FUCK

When Animorphs ended, fans were vocal about how they didn't like the depressing ending. K.A. Applegate responded with amongst the most brutal letters I've read. It takes a generational talent to tell your fans "If you're mad at me because that's what you have to take away from Animorphs, too bad."

Ubisoft's San Francisco office closing is kind of a big deal - one of the last major game devs left in the city proper. 500 people worked there. www.ign.com/articles/ubi...

I have heard way too many progressives who are shocked -- SHOCKED -- at the extreme overtures from the GOP already. I seriously don't know WTF you were thinking when you decided to sit out as a protest for reason X or Y or Z, but your self-righteousness threw a lot of people under the bus.

I’m still on it, nothing has replaced its “most people in politics use it and you can DM them” function, but the idea that people should just stay on there if they’re annoyed by it is crazy. No, it’s a website, they should do things they enjoy instead of using it

SODAZ doesn't have a blsky account so I am posting this here to show off his killer animation series. youtu.be/0fEmiep9efw?...

I like this new Bluesky feature

Urgh. After all the promises Amazon made to change their return policy on eBooks, I'm seeing entire series read & returned again. 😞 Amazon is not a library. Returning books it comes out of the author's pocket. You can't return digital music after you listen... WHY are digital books any different???

Mourning Star

One thing about getting used to a minimalistic/Japanese style bedding system, is that traditional super thick bed mattresses feel too soft and squishy. Feels like I am sinking into the bed.

for all those who celebrate, today is a holiday that brings joy to families everywhere, a time we can all put aside our differences and celebrate the time that Mark Sanchez ran into a butt and dropped the football happy Butt Fumble Day, my friends
