I woke the sick kids up at o’dark thirty to go the airport and the scheduled Lyft is gonna be 15 minutes late. You know what probably wouldn’t have been late? A bus. Just sayin’ #Boise.

KNOCK ON WOOD!! Don’t jinx it!

Reading the live posts of the SOTU on here is almost like the olden days of Twitter. The good ol’ days, when Bush II was the worst the country had seen. Le sigh.

On February 19, 1942, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed E.O. 9066, authorizing the forced relocation & incarceration of more than 125,000 Japanese Americans, solely because of their heritage.

Yeah, I saw that episode of Law and Order.

Who tf cares if a tax would make billionaires leave your state? The billionaires aren’t contributing more than any other citizen…unless you tax them.

Rev. Jesse Jackson's "I *am* somebody..." remains one of the all-time great pieces of 20th century rhetoric / agitprop

And he could deliver it at a Black separatist meeting, the Democratic National Convention, or on god-blessed Sesame Street (see below 🥹)

One of my most inspired parental acts was to schedule the weekly library trip and pizza night on the same day. I love Saturdays!

It’s even more offensive when I’m already reading a summary of a longer document.

Bill allowing couples to opt out of no-fault divorce advances in Iowa Senate • Iowa Capital Dispatch A bill that would allow couples registering for marriage licenses to opt out of no-fault divorce failed to advance in the Iowa Senate.

I’ve been writing pretty extensively warning about the plan to end no fault divorce in America. And Iowa is often a testing ground for the administration’s plans. So its worth paying attention to this bill iowacapitaldispatch.com/2026/02/09/b...

It was like that over here. I’m calling in “sick” most of tomorrow because I can’t people. Too much people.

This is the second account - the first being in Chicago - of DHS agents mass detaining people and then *sorting them by race*.

It’s a Death by Stereo on repeat kinda day.

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

Your Cheat Sheet on Complicity in the Epstein Saga Who knew complicity could be so...complicated?

I wrote a piece on this open.substack.com/pub/asharang...

I’m so proud of @npr.org. Keep fighting! We do support you and we are here for you.

Just got my copy of The Memory Palace book and was tearing up by page 2. @natedimeo.bsky.social is good at what he does!

Fuck all this shit, I’m going to the library.

I’m no longer holding back from compulsively buying books at garage sales. This book I got today is a piece of history that DOGE can’t get to. It’s not hoarding, it’s archiving!

Is that $8…per shrimp!?

I just had to turn off @npr.org in a rage because of a back-to-back needless Trump sound bite and then a male pronatalist telling me I’m not having kids because I’m not married. Why? Why cover something so obviously partisan and factually incorrect?

The public weigh-in in 5th grade shaped who I am today. And not in a good way.

Angel of the Lord: He is not here, He is risen, just as He said.
Come and see the place where He lay. And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead.

Alito: Okay, first of all, this violates ALL sorts of rules

Thomas: This was a LAWFUL execution, who is God to interfere

If you want to really feel your age, buy your kids a trampoline and trying bouncing on it for 5 minutes. Omg. My tendons.
