She’s raised almost $20m to help Minnesota – she thinks you can do it too Ashley Fairbanks launched Stand with Minnesota as ICE raids rocked her home town – now donations are pouring in, and families’ rent is being paid

I need to address this immediately, because I am WAY too Minnesotan to ever claim credit for this.

I built a thing to point the fire hose of people's generosity in the right direction. That's it.

I am thankful for the piece, because hopefully it means people will donate more money.

Most of the way through Naked Lunch and my main impression is currently

"I can't believe it was someone's job to edit this. You're goddamn right their name belongs on the front cover."

New physio is SO much shorter and still SO much harder, but in a good way. Really feels like doing stuff (just doesn't look like it)

Maybe I'll have to send some for your birthday!

X Really Is Pulling Users to the Right Elites may not be as immune to this kind of algorithmic radicalization as they think.

“(ICE favorability is) almost break-even with people who get their news from Twitter. Compare that to other social media platforms like Reddit and TikTok, where over 70% of voters viewed the agency unfavorably.”

A screenshot of a post in a Facebook group for dollhouse miniatures. The photo is of a hand holding one of a collection of tiny plates, about the size of a quarter. User Jess Culley writes: “Adding to my collection of Royal plates. The first senior member of the British Royal Family to be arrested in 350 years. History in the making. Alternate title "man in grey cardigan amazed to be arrested by police" 1:12th scale.” The plate being held on Jess’s fingertip bears the label “commemorative edition,” below the arrest photo of Prince Andrew.

The miniaturists are ON IT

Corporations: We are collections of people & therefore deserve the civic rights afforded all people.

Me: Ok. May I talk to a person?

Corporation: No. Never again.

It's so cool that the fbi is basically the make a wish foundation for one podcaster

We were so right about whole wheat peanut butter cookies! Definitely a make-again

YouTube video by Olympics Alysa Liu wins the Olympic gold medal for the United States

I urge you to stop what you're doing and watch Alysa Liu's free skate from yesterday. I have never seen anything like this. I understand why sports writers are born now. I have never seen anyone as free from the burdens of this world as this pierced Oakland girl spinning to Donna Summers.

Awww! Well, they're still super pretty!

I keep hearing that the Epstein files are so big if we held everyone accountable everything would collapse. And no it wouldn’t. These rich guys don’t do any actual work. They aren’t actually important or useful they are just rich.

Sometimes resting is the best work you can do! 💗

Second therapy appointment of the week done, that's 4 of 5 Things done.

It's a pretty poorly understood condition in general (because most of the people who have it are AFAB and there has been basically no research done on that kind of body and even their most common conditions and ailments🫤).

And multi-systemic, so complicated.

Sorry to get radical but I don’t think it’s my job or yours to embrace, accept, understand - and certainly not to use - the thing being sold to us as AI. I don’t like any part of it, so I won’t. I’m missing out? Good, that’s what I want. You’re worried about me missing out? That’s fuckin weird, man.

“Is there a technology the left is excited about?”

High-speed rail! MRNA vaccines! New cancer treatments! Solar and wind energy collection! Better and longer-range EVs! That wood that's harder than steel! New apples! Fibermaxxing! Buldak Swicy ramen! Muppets! Muppets are too a technology, shut up!

you: damn, it turns out the billionaire cabal who ran a sex trafficking ring and a child breeding program was also instrumental in pushing bitcoin, the manosphere, the alt-right, and ai propaganda

It seems nuts to me that CNN has partnered with an online gambling site (Kalshi) and hypes their betting lines as “news” to report.

In his years of being an MP and running campaigns, he never figured out his own voice and message enough that he couldn’t write one with the help of his regular staff?
