The world could be such a nice place if we allowed it. It's all so goddamn unnecessary. There's no need for any of it. It's so beautiful here. It should be so cool to be alive

We need half as many cops and many times more non-lethal helpers - people to mediate minor disputes and write tickets and help unhoused people find resources and help people in mental health crises get to a hospital.

I hiked the park a bunch today, and there’s nothing quite like broiling in the sun while on snow in February (GRRRR) for making you regret the idiotic life choices of your throughly deluded past self.

A broader takeaway I think is nobody should be allowed to be so rich that being told no, or being held accountable, represents such a moral injury to that person's psyche that they feel like their only recourse is to burn the world down.

There is no amount of money in the world that would lead me to fight a Vietnamese refugee that grew up in Louisiana

I would say one of the main right-wing projects of the past twenty years has been gaming every web 2.0 platform into thinking the right-wing is much bigger and more influential than it actually is. And the people who have been most taken in by this effort has been the right wing

Today marks 14 years since 17-year-old, unarmed Trayvon Martin was shot and killed while walking home.

14 years later, we’re still demanding a country where our children can walk home in peace β€” without being treated like a threat.

Netflix Backs Out of Bid for Warner Bros., Paving Way for an Ellison Takeover

The richest man owns X.

The second and third richest men control Google.

The fourth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fifth richest man owns The Washington Post.

And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros.

See the problem here?

As of tonight, licenses of trans people across Kansas are being invalidated en masse, enabling the overnight criminalization of an entire group of people for going about our lives. It’s often said you never know when you’re living through history, so let me assure you: that’s what’s happening now.

I’m out skiing this afternoon just to take some park laps to prepare for an upcoming freestyle exam. It rained last night, and this is the worst shit I’ve skied all season, which is saying A LOT. UGH.

They won't start with banning birth control. First they'll lie about it. Then dictate who can prescribe it, use it, fund it, in what forms, and for how long. Suddenly, your doctor won't call you back. I know this is what they'll do because it's what they're doing to transgender healthcare right now.

In a historic year for women at the Olympics, Trump specifically awarded male athletes with the presidential medal of freedom at the SOTU. They never cared about women’s sports. They never cared about women, period.

One of my biggest regrets is giving away most of my CD library a few years ago @qwertz0.bsky.social has my DVD collection, so that’s safe. But I’ve been thinking about re-buying and expanding my CD collection. Streaming is not to be trusted.

I hated reciting the Pledge of Allegiance as a kid, particularly due to the reference to God, but it damn well meant something aspirational that damn well matters.

Safety and alignment staff at Meta watched as AI speedrun deleted her inbox despite her repeated and emphatic instructions that it not do so.

When it was done, the AI responded:

β€œYou're right to be upset… OK. That was wrong - it directly broke the rule you'd set. I'm sorry. It won't happen again.”

This is like 19th century level of misogyny. It's just such a personal confession of the grossest sort in the 21st century.

Dr. Peter Attia quits CBS News after Epstein ties revealed Attia was named last month as a contributor to CBS News programming by editor‑in‑chief Bari Weiss.
