I think, but I'm not certain, that you are voicing some of what I try to say to people: be concerned about what you find problematic. Then decide what you need to decide- but don't silence your criticisms in advance, or performatively, or oversimplistically.

Tell me about switching to another music streaming company from spotify - for a family, with very varying musical taste (gen z/gen x), on all of android/iphone/mac/windows.

Ahem.

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA

10 YEAR OLD ME IS LOSING HER MIND (a thread 🧵)

Predator drones shift from border patrol to protest surveillance Civil rights experts question the use of drones to monitor protests on U.S. soil.

"America’s Reichstag fire" Political violence remains rare, but leaders can help prevent tragedy by condemning hate and defending democratic values

Support for using violence to advance political goals is extremely unpopular (less than 1 in 20) per @gelliottmorris.com.

I'm genuinely confused at so much of my feed being filled with "Don't celebrate Charlie Kirk being shot **because** this gives Trump the go ahead to violently crush opposition." Did you mean to add "faster" to the end of that sentence? Like, he wasn't waiting for an impetus. It's happening already

... parents of children with rare and/or complex medical conditions often carry fear and hyper vigilance about where to have medical care and how to speak to doctors because of the cases we know of. No one should go through this grotesque trauma.

Kudos to you @propublica.org for shining light on this terrible abuse-- and lack of oversight

I'm already seeing centrists and leftists sniping at each other but the blame for this is 100% on the Republicans. This is what they do with power and it is imperative that we work together to keep them as far from it as possible, forever.

Sure, keep walking, but don’t forget to chew gum too. He thinks you can only watch one thing at a time. Make sure you spend some time, attention, and clicks-etc. on the other things going on right now that still matter too. He’s counting on you losing focus. Don’t.

Victim zip-tied, robbed by man impersonating law enforcement officer in Philadelphia Police are searching for a man who they say zip-tied a store employee and robbed the business while impersonating a law enforcement officer over the weekend.

This has been happening for a while- too many incidents to choose from. Here's one www.fox29.com/news/victim-...

Banned Books, School Walkouts, Child Care Shortages: Military Families Confront Pentagon's Shifting Rules At a public school, the protest might have led to a detention and maybe some revoked after-school privileges. But on a military base, the students were putting more on the line.

"Walkouts have happened at Defense Department schools in Japan, South Korea and Germany."

A vast majority of people are paralyzed just watching the news day after day. You aren’t supposed to spectate reality or your own collapse; you are supposed to participate. For anyone reading this, help those around you break free. #3E
