other countries' bobsledders: young sprinters in their 20s
our country's bobsledders: 40-year-old moms who originally played softball and skiing

also our country's bobsledders:

very good explanation of why not to feed images into an image generator, especially when memorializing children after a devastating tragedy.

better not to use image generators at all.

Europe raids and investigates while the Trump administration buries, deflects, and protects. When accountability has to cross an ocean to find daylight, that’s not sovereignty, it’s state-sanctioned cover-up.

Congratulations!

MY BOBSLEIGH LADIES SLEIGHED AND TAKE HOME GOLD AND BRONZE,!!! 🥇🥉

Letz GOOOOOOO Elana Taylor Meyers and Kaillie Humphries,!!

Elana,,, the most decorated black winter Olympian of All time finally takes her gold,!! So proud,!!!

Gladys Mae West obituary: mathematician who pioneered GPS technology She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.

Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

👇🎯 Also, for the very first time since Iran-Contra (if not 1865; bsky.app/profile/mcop...) , we actually have to send a bunch of senior elite individuals to jail & shame the rest forever from polite society & lucrative ex post sinecures at corporations, universities, think tanks, & media outlets.

This is what authoritarians are never gonna understand: average, everyday citizens do not like watching paramilitary thugs brutalize children. All the vaporware memes in the world can't fix that for them

Comparison is the thief of joy, etc. I get to see cool wildlife bird photos everyday. Every little bit everywhere helps.

No excuses

I’m not sure how it’s possible not to speak a word of Spanish in America in 2026 but it sounds like a lot of you have work to do ✨

This is gender.

Apparently I missed the *whole* of the dismantling of The Patriarchy. I would have liked to see that.

"What if, hear me out, instead of trying to de-segregate the buses, we appeal to everyone by talking about how expensive bus fares are?"

One reason Minneapolis remains in the world's eye is we have one of the most robust & independent media ecosystems remaining in the country. You all need this...and more! @mprnews.org @startribune.com @sahanjournal.bsky.social @minnesotareformer.com @minnpost.bsky.social @racketmn.com etc.

Swear to god, ICE could just announce they're leaving a city but not leave and the media will just stop covering that city completely even though ICE never left.

It's what ICE and the media did with LA and they're doing it with Minneapolis too

To all our international friends attending the Winter Olympics Opening Ceremony in Milan tomorrow:

Please loudly boo JD Vance and his delegation. Make him feel like shit. We encourage it. We wish we could be there to boo him, too.

Signed,
the American people

Watching commentators still refusing to see the white nationalism of this administration and arguingTrump is targeting Atlanta, Philadelphia and Detroit because they are blue cities is just, it’s got to be intentional at this point. There are a ton of blue cities. These are majority Black cities.

I will never understand how it wasn't obvious to everyone that crypto has no real function except speculation and crime

LOVE to see it!

Wish my publisher had greenlit that book I wanted to write about how elite impunity was the core of global politics and how Trump mirrored Arab Gulf regimes back when I proposed it on 2017.

Really nuts how many men were like "Me Too went too far, and I need to email Jeffrey Epstein about it."

Lord have mercy. Waiting for people to catch up is excruciating.

CBP shot this woman and then defamed her using every means at their disposal. In a just world they would have to turn their whole yearly budget over to her for punitive damages

No we don’t you worthless lump of campaign bribes, we want ICE abolished and every person who committed crimes, as well as those who allowed it to happen, prosecuted. Go fucking retire, you’ve done enough damage already.

when i say bring that baby home i mean EVERY BABY

Moral degenerates, every last one. They, not only, don’t belong in or near positions of power, they don’t deserve an ounce of respect from civil society
