...Sparta lost.

in 2017 a popular twitter game was to type a partial phrase then see what your phone auto-completes it with.

this proved so popular that it is now the only business model in the US.

My theory of the moment: The extraordinary courage of ordinary people in places like Minneapolis is reawakening us to our social and economic ties to immigrants. It's making "love thy neighbor" cool again. That's the ultimate antidote to MAGA hate.

For those who don't wanna visit the bird site, here's the full list of what's coming.

A valentine from Public Health of Seattle and King County. A man shivers in bed while a smiling lady in a red mask shows off her bandage on her arm. Text: Noses are red Ice packs are blue I'm vaxed so miss me with severe symptoms of flu.

A valentine from Public Health of Seattle and King County. Two lady scientists shrug lackadaisically. Text reads: My love for you can't be explained by science. Just like the new federal vaccine guidelines.

A valentine from Public Health of Seattle and King County. Protesters in Minneapolis wear thick clothes and hold signs of support for immigrant neighbors. Text reads: To the health departments in the Twin Cities: Love unites us. Our hearts are with you.

There is a post being shared on Facebook that claims that shark tooth necklaces are a conservation threat to sharks.

This is simply not the case. At all.

Sharks face very real threats, and we need help to enact the policy solutions to those threats.

Well-intentioned nonsense doesn't help.

If Bad Bunny can cover the history of Puerto Rico, colonialism, transatlantic slavery, hemispheric consciousness, as well as contemporary life and politics in under 14 minutes, you can do your 15- or 20-minute conference presentation with time to spare.

The ideals of the United States at the time of founding were written into a handful famous documents, and while the people living here both before and after that founding have often spectacularly failed to live up to those ideals, the broad sense we ought to adhere to them has wrought a lot of good

Do you remember before the Internet, when people thought the cause of stupidity was the lack of access to information?

Yeah...

It wasn't that

I'm still cheering. That show was bottled joy, cut with hopeful cynicism, and chased with a shot of pure undiluted fuckin'.

From the bestskeeting author of the Bluesky-famous six-week Bad Bunny 101 comes this essential close reading of the halftime show! 🧵

Once again: Keir Starmer has ruined something not just for Britain, but for the entire world.

I’m rather sad I have to explain that.

In short, badmouth Puerto Rico and I will punch you so hard your glottis will fall out and run away and join the circus.

50 years after the Emancipation Proclamation, A Philip Randolph was starting a Shakespeare theater for Black actors. 50 years after that, he led the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom. 50 years later, the USA had its first Black President. We’re 13 years in now; how will we mark this 50 years?
