USAID: Last Week Tonight with John Oliver (HBO)
Hereโs last nightโs story about USAID, why the Trump Administration has gutted it, who is being impacted, and how many nice things John can say about George W. Bush. Itโs more than zero! By a very narrow margin, it is more than zero. youtu.be/tU8S13xYJNM

Try a two on/one off schedule. Gives you enough work days to get things done, but also the off days hit before you can burn out, plus every three weeks you will have had each day of the week off once, perfect for getting to farmers markets and other events that only fall on certain days.

What fish do they fry in PGH? I've been to fish frys all over the country, and I love how regional they are. Catfish down south, Pike and Walleye around the Great Lakes, Cod on the Atlantic coast.

Congress Is Considering Abolishing Your Right to Be Anonymous Online
The bipartisan push to remove anonymity from the internet is ushering in an era of unprecedented mass surveillance and censorship.
You should be able to criticize your government anonymously online.
Full stop.
"Age verification" legislation is just a pretty name for "forced online ID checks," meaning everything you post is associated with your government name
We have to stop this.

Resist โdangerous and socially unacceptableโ age checks for social media, scientists warn
Computer scientists are campaigning against the global march toward age checks online.
Over 400 scientists have signed a letter calling for a moratorium on the deployment of age-verification technologies. The letter suggests the widespread deployment of untested AV tech is making the internet less safe.

OCASIO-CORTEZ STATEMENT ON
TRUMP'S COMBAT OPERATIONS IN IRAN
"The American people are once again dragged into a war they did not want by a president who does not care about the long-term consequences of his actions. This war is unlawful. It is unnecessary. And it will be catastrophic.
"Just this week, Iran and the United States were negotiating key measures that could have staved off war. The President walked away from these discussions and chose war instead.President Trump flippantly acknowledged the possibility of American casualties, stating "that often happens in war.'
"Mr. President: this was not an inevitability. This is a deliberate choice of aggression when diplomacy and security were within reach. Stop lying to the American people.
"Violence begets violence. We learned this lesson in Iraq. We learned this lesson in Afghanistan. And we are about to learn it again in Iran. Bombs have yet to create enduring democracies in the region and this will be no different.
"In moments of war, our Constitution is unambiguous: Congress authorizes war. The President does not. I will do my part to uphold our Constitution by voting YES on Representatives Ro Khanna and Thomas Massie's War Powers Resolution. Every member of Congress must join us in rejecting this aimless war.
My statement on President Trumpโs combat operations in Iranโฌ๏ธ

Your regular reminder that Palantir started out as a way to expose sex workers to police violence, then expanded to allow cops to spy on anyone they pointed at while barfing out the word "gang".
Fascists *created* Palantir, but useful idiots approved of everything done to grow it.

Words by Funkit Toys from their thread https://bsky.app/profile/funkittoys.bsky.social/post/3mdtky5ug4s2r written Feb 1, 2026, art by Erika Moen.
An illustration rendered to look prehistoric, as if it's on a stone tablet or stretched hide, shows an assortment of drawings depicting pieces of the following text.
Narration: For anyone who may be losing faith in human progress, remember this: We invented the dildo 27,000 years before the gun.
Image: A stone phallus with several cracks and intentionally carved penis-head at one end.
Caption: Hohle Fels Phallus, 28,000 years ago
Text: We invented pornographic art tens of thousands of years before written language.
Image: A simplified cave art painting depicting a couple having sex in doggy-style.
Caption: Cave art, Tassili n'Ajjer, Algeria, 12,000 years ago.
Text: We invented the condom before steel.
Image: An off-white, aged, sock-let with a long, ragged belt attached to it.
Caption: Oil-soaked linen condom of King Tutankkamunn, 1332-1323 BCE
Text: Bread is older than war. Beer is older than borders.
Image: A fancy loaf of bread, referenced from Pompeii, even though it's not the same time period as the caption, but it looks nice, ok?.
Caption: Bread, 14,600-11,600 years ago.
Text: We're better at making good things than bad. We've had more practice.
Image: A barley field.
Caption: Beer, 5,000 years ago.

This is going to lead to continued growth in women's professional hockey, and putting a team in Las Vegas is a no-brainer. We support championship women's teams (Aces) and hockey (Golden Knights) and we have the arena.
