Alysa Liu: "THAT'S WHAT I'M FUCKING TALKING ABOUT" 🗣️

From the LT governor! I like this energy

Les Wexner's attorney during the House Oversight Committee deposition on Epstein:

"I will fucking kill you if you answer another question with more than five words."

US Gold Medal Olympian Amber Glenn: "They Hate To See Two Woke B****es Win" Amber Glenn, referring to herself and Alysa Liu, shot back at critics on social media while holding her gold medal and wearing a progress pride pin.

"This weekend, Amber Glenn and her teammate Alysa Liu, targets of far-right fury for their progressive, pro-LGBTQ+ stances and their own queer identities, took home gold in the team figure skating event at the 2026 Winter Olympics."

Yoon and Prince Andrew wishing they had a friend like John Roberts.

Remembered seeing Jesse Jackson as a student at UMaine but had a hard time pinning down the date. Finally found it in a partial Maine Campus article in the digital archives. April 23, 1991. That last quote hits hard given where we are now.

Really good @canarymedia.com dive on utility owned (boo!) VPP/DERs (yay!) in Minnesota.

Everything I’ve learned about “maxxing” and that type of thing I’ve learned against my will

Also go watch the highlights of the Olympic men’s ice hockey quarterfinals. Some tight hockey being played~~

Heat pump sales dipped in 2025. They still beat gas furnaces. Yet again, heat pumps were the most-shipped heating appliance in the U.S. And experts say the factors behind last year’s sales slide are temporary.

"Heat pumps outsold fossil gas–fired furnaces in the U.S. yet again last year. That’s the fourth year in a row," reports @alisontakemura.bsky.social: www.canarymedia.com/articles/hea... 🔌💡

“Both Good and Pretti were engaged in the task that democracies assign to citizens: that of paying close attention to the workings of power. If the price of liberty is eternal vigilance, a country that inflicts the ultimate punishment on those who dare to be vigilant can no longer be free.”

I hear some people still haven't watched the whole performance. Here's Bad Bunny's love letter to Puerto Rico (and its failing electrical grid in desperate need of a renewable energy fix) and the Americas just when the United States needed it most.

Been thinking about how the government that follows Trump's must constantly demonstrate to both Americans and the world that Trumpism is over. The rule of law is nothing more than a series of expectations and as such, strong and obvious signals must be sent that this shit does not fly any longer.

People are going to have to suffer punishments that may feel harsh and disproportionate. But that's because they're bearing a collective burden for their movement.

Everyone in the world comes to get married at the NYC Marriage Bureau. Last week, the Mayor stopped by to officiate a few of those ceremonies. 
 
Thank you to all the couples who shared their joy with us. Happy Valentine's Day, New York.

The biggest political divide on here is not between left and liberal but between "politics is real and involves real outcomes for real people" and "no it doesn't fuck you"

If leaders won’t protect the planet, we will.

We’re preparing to take the EPA to court.

This episode has been a nightmare for my city and state, but I hope people realize it’s also a profound defeat and political catastrophe for Trump and DHS, who are slinking away having accomplished nothing. Minneapolis simply wouldn’t bend to them and they lost

big day for this

Raskin to Bondi: "You're not showing a lot interest in the victims. Whether it's Epstein's human trafficking ring or the homicidal government violence against citizens in Minneapolis, as AG you're siding with the perpetrators and ignoring the victims."

Like if we're gonna be ageist we are going whole hog and getting a Zoomer or Millennial elected.

FWIW, if Rep Waters isn't on a Feinstein-esque moment, which she doesn't seem to be just yet, I'm not inclined to replace her with someone who's also over the age of 50. Give me someone under 43 or let her cook!!

Little to add to Trump's Endangerment Finding move that hasn't already been said, but here's the key bit: Framing matters.

This isn't "economics" vs climate, or some kind of noble "cost-cutting" crusade.
