Mercury in retrograde and now some blistering Santa Ana Winds in the fire horse year?

To quote my late dad, hold on to your butts.

Excellent!

I honestly think it’s a distinction without a difference. Vaccine hesitant parents are swimming in the same socially-led information/misinformation environment as the fierce anti-vaxxers. And the solution isn’t more information (it’s not an info deficit problem).

My first full time library job in 1993 involved maintaining our Gopher page.

GM assembly plant worker (and UAW member) and a printer.

I used to rock and roll all night. And party ev-er-y day. Then it was every other day. Now I’m lucky if I can find half and hour a week in which to get funky.

Primaries are weird beasts. Weird in 50 unique ways.

having written about how banning web scrapers from a code forge i host made it usable again and saved ~60€/y in power bill, let me tell you:

you cannot fathom the offloaded cost of GenAI on small web hosts. it is a veritable distributed denial of service to the entire web. Every web admin sees it.

I'm still on my first cup of coffee and processing the news itself, so can't quite get my head around what Polymarket is saying here: Is it that Iranians should be monitoring Polymarket to see if their children will be murdered the next day?

Panera is gonna Panera.

Every time I go visit my mom she offers me the stack of COBAL and
FORTRAN books in her basement. Maybe next visit I should grab them.

Turns out Kim Guilfoyle’s ex is a whole mess.

The Cook, The Thief, His Wife and her Lover. Saw this with my teenage friends in the theater…which someone’s parents maybe should have nixed. #genx

As the granddaughter of an immigrant, exactly this. I have my haunting plan in place in case any of my descendants decide to give 2060 fascism a go.

As a 2016 UT Austin PhD grad, the speed of the deliberate dismantling of this public university is stunning. I wasn’t naive about Texas politics but still. Damn.

Solidarity with @ucaft.bsky.social lecturers as they kick off contract bargaining today at Berkeley!✊ #WeTeachUC

I think we need to get better at telling rich people NO when they want to do dangerous stuff.

Ok - IANAL just trying to make sense of what I’ve read so far. I am not a Black voter obviously but I am a former Texan and I think it’s pretty obvious the dem establishment has once again decided to go with a more “mainstream” white man than the stronger candidate in Crockett.

From what I understand the field of declared candidates is 8 people - depending on how you interpret the policy it could apply to all of them.

This is appalling. Joaquin Castro is paying attention and speaking out.

Contractor: You’re in LA…should you have any stormwater plans for heavy rains?

Trader Joe’s: Hahahahahahaha no

Tyler Austin Harper on twitter: I’ve spent the last year working on a story about the Mellon Foundation, the mega-wealthy private nonprofit that has a monopoly on humanities funding in America. The article, about how Mellon has held the humanities hostage to its progressive political ideology, is out today.

hey cool man while you were deep in research or whatever you might want to catch up on some other stuff that has happened in the world in the past year

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

Last month I introduced my environmental analysis students to environmental justice work by reading a profile of Dr. Bullard.

Definitely. Feels like someone on the receiving end of one or more “no-contact” decisions. And a big fan of that doormat mom person.

I think I have those Tevas. They’re definitely in the “smash the state” backpack.

do YOU have any experience in art, social, organizing, fundraising, comms, graphic design, & want to help us try to raise an insane amount of money to keep immigrant families in MN housed?

I am looking for folks who would want to throw down. having a meeting monday evening. DM me if you're in.
