But hey, I get to see @natogreen.bsky.social tonight!

As I scroll through triumphal pro-war tweets, thinking about this image a lot today:

Replace Mike Johnson! 👇

I have an embroidery of this logo that my mom made while my dad was still on active duty

Another Mother for Peace has been saying this for 60 years

congrats: if you work at OpenAI now, you know exactly what it was like to work at IBM in 1938

is peer 2 peer still a thing? time to start sharing MP3s again

Didn’t we pivot to video a decade ago

More Brandon Johnsons, fewer Daniel Luries

I'm not waiting for an apology. that doesn't mean DSA SF doesn't deserve one

San Francisco mayor and Levi Strauss heir Daniel Lurie is trying to paint DSA SF as a hotbed for antisemitism, and rightwing trolls and corporate media ran with it

Mayor Lurie turned the anti-Jewish rantings of a random street loon into a global indictment of San Francisco The mayor’s inaccurate statement allowed gullible rubes and bad-faith trolls to bash this city as a hotbed of organized, political antisemitism

Mayor Daniel Lurie allowed the anti-Jewish rantings of a random street loon to be weaponized as a broadside against San Francisco.

Hey Blocked by Garry Tan Club: Ed discovered Garry and it’s as wonderful as you’d imagine

Tourette syndrome activist John Davidson says Bafta told him ‘any swearing would be edited out of the broadcast’ Davidson said he ‘can’t begin to explain how upset and distraught I have been’ over slurs he shouted during the award ceremony

So the BBC promised Davidson and StudioCanal (who made I Swear) that any swearing tics would be edited out from broadcast, and instead they left them in despite a two hour delay, and even put a fucking microphone right in front of him to ensure they picked it up - he was sat at the back of room.

Heads up folks: @thetnholler.bsky.social posted an AI-generated video this morning that was a deepfake of the captain of the U.S. women’s hockey team, and they seem to be promoting it as if it’s a real video. So watch out for that and don’t spread fakes.

It’s a partnership with the public libraries to encourage young kids to read. They’ve done this for a few years.

I love all the people who haven't had to live with Gavin for years suddenly learning who Gavin actually is. Learn from those of us who went through this almost 20 years ago.

Can’t wait to be in Trader Joe’s yelling TWO PARTY CONSENT

Maybe not Hewlitt and Packard, but Steve Jobs and Bill Gates absolutely would have made that call.

Mayor Mamdani Breaks His Promise to NYC Public Libraries The Struggle Against Defunding Libraries Continues...

I hope New Yorkers will challenge Mamdani about this. Too often, people feel they need to be absolutely for or against a politician — ignoring their missteps or throwing them out with the bathwater. You can like and/or believe in someone and still challenge them to deliver on their promises.

Vallejo school district appears to violate open meeting law in school closure decision Text messages show Superintendent Rubén Aurelio and board Trustee Glenn Amboy agree to discuss school closures during a closed session meeting ahead of a public vote.

I obtained text messages showing the Vallejo School appears to have violated the Brown act by discussing school closures in private before voting to close three schools in December.

Here's my report for @vallejosun.bsky.social...

In the past month, San Franciscans have turned out en mass twice to protect our immigrant and working class neighbors. The student walkouts and educators strike are already creating wider change.
You don’t need corporate organizers.

Tenderloin alley hosts rare riding event for students With the street temporarily closed, kids could let loose.

Writer Scott Bravmann asked Lukas, among the youngest, what he thought of riding. He giggled, “It’s fun!”

Maya’d had a change of heart: “I kind of want a bike” now. Her brother Isaiah chimed in, “Yeah, I think my sister should get one.”
