A big misconception about Greenland is that since it’s labeled a Danish colony, its residents are just a bunch of white dudes named Kristian—which is extremely harmful and inaccurate.

The population is 85% Indigenous! It belongs to the Kalaallit people, not to Denmark and CERTAINLY not to the U.S.

I am looking for active ways to Resist -- and to build back democracy.

If you needed another reason to close your accounts on Meta and never look back:

I stopped using Meta after the inauguration, and am weaning myself off Amazon. It feels GREAT. I have been reading books and lots of other non-rabbit holing activities. I will no longer pay Zuck to keep me stress-clicking. Goodbye to all that

The patter of rain on the roof in Los Angeles

Settling the debris in the air, wetting the trees. Mud is a cause for concern, but the wet feels and smells sweet

THE BEAUTIFUL SOUND OF RAIN IN L.A.!! What a joy to hear.
Thinking of all the firefighters getting a good night’s rest. ❤️🙏

One Tech Tip: How to delete Facebook, Instagram and Threads if you don't like Meta's changes Some Facebook, Instagram and Threads users are wondering whether to delete their accounts after Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s announced changes to content rules and plans to its fact-checking program.

Do it!
It's a cesspool of disinformation and hate and you know it.
In three days you'll be through the withdrawal and stop even thinking about it.
And you can be proud of yourself for helping to slow U.S. authoritarianism.

CalMatters CalMatters is a nonprofit, nonpartisan newsroom committed to explaining California policy and politics.

Now that the LA Times has become unreadable, I’ve found great coverage at calmatters.org. (Thanks for the tip, @sgoodyear.bsky.social !)

I didn’t know that! I find it so onerous to get there and shop - it’s so huge

I was just wondering this! Thank you all.

Thank you. I so admire you and other journalists who take on this fight. We’re with you.

I will look. Thank you. I just took the leap off Meta this week. I actually feel better and have more free time! Amazon will be harder for me to untangle from, but I’m actively looking for alternatives. I hate that f-ing guy.

Absolutely right

This is so interesting! I’m reading A Myriad of Tongues and wishing I were a linguistic anthropologist — but I’m really bad at learning languages! So ill just keep reading about it. :)

Thank you so much for not turning to the Dark Side, Mark. It’s incredible how many of your billionaire brethren have gone full MAGA.

You’re awesome

Once Zuck and Jeff declared allegiance to the Dark Side, I pulled the plug on Meta and, as much as possible, on Amazon (whose tentacles have slid into so many parts of my life).

I feel good! Doing the IRL thing, trying to strengthen my frayed brain.

European teens don’t make out in closets?

I like your upside down name!

Just set your alarm at maximum now, and you’ll be all set for the next four years (at least)

Trees ftw

When I learn new technologies, it’s like, “Ow, my brain hurts!”

Makes sense, when you think of “prodigious” and “profligacy.” But part of the fun of English is that it keeps expanding…

Absolutely. My teens actually have more smarts than I - they long ago forbade me from downloading TikTok, because it’s too addictive and intrusive. In parenting, “all things in moderation” is usually a good bet

Where are my #LosAngelesTheatre Peeps? Let's get this party started!

I'll start with my homies, the #AntaeusTheatreCompany -- come see TWELFTH NIGHT, beginning Feb. 9!
