Let this serve as a warning to Dems who abandon trans folks and vote for anti trans bills. You will be primaried, and you will lose.

It is wild.

Very proud to have shepherded this new Shauna Seliy story into the new @vqr.bsky.social. www.vqronline.org/fall-2025/fi...

Cats also but yes exactly.

Isn’t willful naivete just “no it won’t” narcissism?

Glad people are settling on the term "pervert glasses". Bonus points if you also say it while posting a picture of Mark Zuckerberg or call them Mark Zuckerberg's pervert glasses.

For the first time, we now know how many Black-owned bookstores exist in the U.S. The National Association of Black Bookstores has released the “first comprehensive national report” on the state of America’s Black-owned bookstores.

There has never been an official, comprehensive record of Black-owned bookstores across the United States — until now

He won’t be able to go anywhere near New England.

Could they not know? Maybe. But then they would be engineers who’d never used the internet it seemed, absolute rubes.

Somewhat related: Happy International Women’s History Month! Love you too.

I am happily married and no longer do this! A good reason for readers to marry, honestly.

sorry we fired all the missiles. no, there won't be more missiles for a while. the missiles take a long time to make. in fairness you weren't supposed to use them all at once

Google Glasses had this problem. The engineers I recall were allegedly shocked people would use them this way.

I have successfully restrained myself from telling my boring story of how I tried to read the Golden Notebook to impress a boy but it killed my crush on him instead. One must let a woman read in public undisturbed. I am instead minding my business, reading In The Cut, by Susanna Moore.

WATCH — @senpeterwelch walks through a no-bid $143,000,000 contract that went to @KristiNoem’s spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin’s husband’s company that had just been formed.

She should be impeached for this outrageous scandal alone.

Yet it’s barely a blip in this corrupt regime.

Today’s reader report while traveling to Baltimore: the young person next to me is reading Doris Lessing’s The Golden Notebook, a library copy.

Israeli map showing all of southern Lebanon in red with yellow arrows pointing to north of the Litani river

The IDF just ordered the *entirety of south Lebanon* to be forcibly displaced.

They are emptying the land of its population, creating a massive crisis, and will now proceed to further annihilate large parts of Lebanon.

The very nation state of Lebanon is being destroyed.

The Real Story Behind the Midnight Immigration Raid on a Chicago Apartment Building The Trump administration has claimed the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua had taken over the building. But new documents make no mention of the gang and reveal federal agents had information about “ille...

DHS repeatedly said that an aggressive apartment raid in Chicago last fall was prompted by intel on a gang takeover.

Documents show the real story behind the raid was to target alleged squatters — with the landlord's blessing.

It occurs to me that if the government did force UK writers to hand over their work to the big AI companies, that would now among other things mean contributing to the development of US advanced weapon systems.

It’s like it’s been designed by people who’ve never had a crisis like this. The naïveté on display.

Thank you

This is a massive deal. Aside from the expense, this is not a weapon system we just have a ton of lying around. You don't replace these easily.

‘No to war’: Sánchez doubles down after Trump threat to cut off trade with Spain PM says his country will not be complicit in growing conflict in Middle East ‘simply out of fear of reprisals from someone’ * Middle East crisis – live updates * Europe live – latest updates The Spanish prime minister, Pedro Sánchez, has responded to Donald Trump’s extraordinary threat to cut off all trade with Spain over his government’s refusal to facilitate the US’s ongoing attacks against Iran, comparing the growing conflict in the Middle East to playing “Russian roulette with the destiny of millions”. Sánchez, who has been one of the most vociferous European critics of Israel’s conduct in Gaza, said his government’s position on the widening instability could be summed up in three words: “No to war.” Continue reading...

‘No to war’: Sánchez doubles down after Trump threat to cut off trade with Spain

The moon going from full moon to a red moon and starting to go back to a normal full moon, then my camera battery door fell off.

Here's my first edit on the March 3rd Lunar Eclipse. 15 moon shots, 1 foreground. Taken over a 3 hourish period.

There's been a lot of debate within the Democratic establishment about what rhetoric to use via ICE.

Well, an incumbent doesn't lose by 48 percentage points very often—and her vote on collaborating with ICE was the defining issue here.

RESULT: Over & over, Democratic lawmaker Shelly Willingham helped the North Carolina GOP override the vetoes of Governor Stein & Cooper.

He lost just now to a progressive challenger, 56% to 44%.

(And he's likely one of several in this position. Stay tuned.)

We also just murdered this guy’s parents, his wife, and his son so good luck getting a peace deal
