Rinse and repeat for the foreseeable future.

Bluesky is collegial and interesting, the way Twitter used to be. Bonus: most people can spell.

The lesson from @harvard.edu is: Stay visible, stay loud, and stay fighting. That’s the only way for institutions to survive what’s coming.

“Suicide prevention is about risk, not identity. Ending the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline’s LGBTQ+ youth specialized services will not just strip away access from millions of LGBTQ+ kids and teens – it will put their lives at risk,” said Jaymes Black, CEO of The Trevor Project.

I just got back from 36 hours in Ukraine with my brother Scott. Wanted to share a story from while we were there. At a hospital, we talked with a wounded Ukrainian soldier.

Ralph Fiennes is extraordinary in the role of Cardinal Lawrence... enjoyed the film very much

A couple weeks ago I saw evidence of a co-presidency.

I no longer do.

It is President Musk—with the role of Donald Trump yet to be determined.

Canadian MP Charlie Angus: The message I’m hearing from people across Canada is this: they’re not afraid of you. They know you’re a convicted felon. They know that the people you’re bringing in to run your, let’s call it an “organization” rather than a government, are grifters, thieves, and thugs.
