A reminder that there are more Christian Zionists in the United States than Jews, Zionist and otherwise

This will be extremely familiar to Latin Americans and indeed Filipinos that remember the 20th Century

Kenan Thompson started on SNL when Connor Storrie was three years old.

A 65 year old legally blind and disabled woman says she has unintentionally lost 28 pounds because she can’t afford enough food under the Trump administration.

“Like the previous caller said, the end is coming near, and it couldn’t be any more true than for me.”

Heartbreaking

A grey hoodie with text which reads: “Buy a man eat fish, He day, teach fish man To a lifetime.”

Wise words

When a company in an industry built on hype tells you that a use case is a bad idea—and actually dangerous—that means it’s a *catastrophically* bad idea.

Timeline of events: Today at 9:04pm. No response yet to my calls or messages to @DarioAmodei. Today at 825pm, @AnthropicAI writes “we have not received direct communication from the Department of War.” Today: 5:14pm SecWar tweets supply chain risk designation. Today: I call Dario’s business partner at 5:02pm asking to speak to Dario because he hasn’t gotten back to me. She is typing while we speak and likely has lawyers in the room with no notification to me (that’s a guess! CA is a two party consent law so am hoping no laws were broken!). Says she “will try to locate him.” Today: I call Dario at 5:01. No Answer. I message Dario asking to talk as well. Today: Dario sends an email with redlines 3:51pm Today: @POTUS sends Truth at 3:47pm Yesterday: I email Dario comments at 10:54pm. Does this sound like GOOD FAITH

Takes an innovative mind to muddle something as basic and intuitive as a timeline

a whole lot of businesspeople learning in real time that a predictable and stable regulatory state - even if you don’t like some of the regulations - is vastly preferable to “boss man doesn’t like you so you’re fucked now”

Bar chart compares total revenue by year for Amazon and Walmart from 2013 to 2025. In 2013 Walmarts revenue dwarfed Amazon but Amazon’s share rose rapidly over time at a faster rate finally surpassing Walmart in 2025.

The news is a public good worth funding but our leaders have completely lost the plot. See:
Amazon’s decimation of The Washington Post juxtaposed against its record breaking revenue. Amazon takes the No. 1 spot on the Fortune 500, ending Walmart’s 13-year run: fortune.com/article/amaz...

The American president is more insulated from accountability than a British royal.

Our political system provides the elite with immunity. It has to change.

Prince Andrew's Arrest Across the pond in Britain, justice and accountability is a serious matter

Never in a million years did I ever fathom when I resurrected the Epstein story in 2018 that it would lead to first arrest of a British Royal in four centuries. Not since King Charles I was arrested in 1647.

The fundamental breaking of the social contract of neighbors helping neighbors feels evil in a way that's very hard to articulate.

My students starting singing “We’re all in this together” when they realized Ramadan and Lent are at the same time this year.

🤣😩

Happy lunar new year. 새해 복 많이 받으세요~

Sounds like me 😭

Hey, can we get some more news out of Saint Paul re: this?

I did 🤣 about the Bible 🤣🤣🤣 joker

I'm saying. They sure don't act like they believe in the hell they love using to scare people

saw this like two seconds after @graceishuman.bsky.social sent me this post

anyway, if *I* believed hell was an actual place full of actual souls, I would certainly not act the way many of these people do

YouTube video by Bad Bunny Bad Bunny - El Apagón - Aquí Vive Gente (Video Oficial) | Un Verano Sin Ti

Today's halftime show prep is "El Apagón" (the blackout)

Easy version: the song itself is 0:00-1:00 and 1:40-4:30 of this video

Advanced version: watch the whole 22 minute documentary (w/ English subtitles) about displacement, gentrification, and the Puerto Rican electrical grid

Backup dancers pretend to fall from electrical poles

Next is "El Apagón" (the blackout) which I could write a whole thread about on its own

The song and its video (a mini documentary) are about a lot of things, including the problems with Puerto Rico's electrical grid, which have gotten worse since Hurricane Maria

Simply on a live performance stagecraft-design-camerawork-logistics-direction level, this is ASTOUNDING.

The young boy who received the Grammy from Bad Bunny has been confirmed as child actor Lincoln Fox, who posted about it on Instagram:
