I was typing that with one hand while wrestling the very expensive linen lace making thread out of his mouth

He is very much an orange!!

I went into IG and liked every business I could find in the central IL/Peoria area and now the algorithm feeds me nonstop Jeffrey Epstein content for reasons that are unclear (frankly, I don’t want to think that one through). So that is indeed welcome info!

Checking in on this place which I abandoned for a while because I didn’t have the energy to try and train another algorithm that I now live in Illinois so please start serving me more relevant local news. But anyway, I have an orange son now and he’s a shoe freak.

This, to me, is the epitome of a true New Yorker.

Wasn’t this guy the “progressive” choice in the NJ-Gov Democratic primary?

Good lord, we deserve better Democrats.

Senate reaches deal on ending the shutdown Democrats are coalescing around a bipartisan agreement to fund the government.

This is not a deal — it's an empty promise.

Trump and his Republican Congress are making healthcare more expensive for the middle class and ending it for working families.

Time for Democrats to stand tall for affordable healthcare. www.politico.com/news/2025/11...

I just think AI is so exciting bc it's a machine that you can get wrong answers from, that yields environmental devastation, and is being forced on all of us

Fam, this is a challenging moment. We (as reporters) are trying to balance urgency of news & amplification of resistance narratives with not assisting in putting people in prison. It's tough for everyone right now with how fast videos go viral. There's a lot we are not sharing.

forum wars took over the government. the 10,000-page thread spilled out into the streets. people are getting their doors blown open and hogtied so that nerds can win an online argument. they tanked the dollar and fucked the economy permanently to own you

The annual pumpkin display at the entrance of Governor Pritzker’s personal residence on Astor Street. He is the pumpkin king. Illinois produces the most pumpkins, including canned, than any other state in the U.S., twice as many as the next five states combined.

Pritzker: To the members of the press who are assembled here today and listening across the country, I am asking for your courage to tell it like it is. This is not a time to pretend here that there are two sides to this story.

it's giving this [complimentary]

Thank you!! We have had loads of butterflies in our new place so, makes sense!!

Attention Bluesky users…

Anyone know what kind of plant this is?

It's time for clear eyed thinking about the potential for the large-scale destruction of public transit in American cities. It could happen in the next two years. Thread... 1/

"My own conclusion was psychologically it’s not that people want to work, it’s more people want to feel they are transforming the world in a way that makes some kind a positive difference to other people. In a way, that’s what being human is all about."

I have zero idea what the solution is. And anyone know knows me knows I’m dealing with a lot of free floating anxiety right now in my own life so this may be my brain misfiring weirdly. But like oh god, I do not want rich weirdos in control of public transportation.

But like, please — can we please not have Peter Thiel or Elon Musk or some other weirdo billionaire bail them out because we all know they won’t do it just because.

They’ll do it to own and control the most powerful asset the NYC/Philly area has. What comes next, we don’t know. +

All three systems need trillions of dollars poured in to fix them or the NYC/Philly area is going to be crippled. That money isn’t coming from the Feds any time Trump is in office.

It’s probably way too much to put on the backs of taxpayers. So I get how private investors could look good. +

I had kind of an insane thought last night but I just wanted to put it out there.

I’m sure we all saw the horrific videos of the MTA yesterday. All weekend, PATH was barely operational. And SEPTA has had their funding cut to the bone.

My fear: private investors are going to try to step in. +

Smithsonian Institution Exhibition Under Review by the White House The White House has denounced a show at the National Museum of American History, which is run by the Smithsonian.

This is absolutely insane. www.artnews.com/art-news/new...

This is why it’s important to not completely lose your empathy and give into cheering for death. This is who we risk becoming.

Hey y’all, if you would like to donate to relief for Kerr County, please use this link:

This comes direct from our mutual aid network, and this org is local and nimble enough to get things done in a timely way.

I cannot emphasize enough how true & real this is.

In almost anywhere on the political spectrum you ID with or major issue, there’s probably a bot/troll operation to encourage your rage and vitriol.

And how/where that rage gets directed, esp understandable rage, is what they are out to influence.

Guys I’m gutting my studio and found a trove of these “Trenton makes/the world takes” iron on patches. Want a set? $10 Venmo or PayPal, dm me for info.

Cc @leboism.bsky.social didn’t you want a set of these or am I misremembering?

The Terrible Truth About Sherita, Brooklyn’s Beloved Billboard Dinosaur The vanished icon of Atlantic Ave. was the relic of a secretive family who grabbed buildings from immigrant owners across the booming borough.

What fans don’t know is that Sherita was never about honest, quirky old working-class Brooklyn. Instead she and several frowsier sister signs mark a nasty pattern of northern Brooklyn real estate manipulation.
