Achievement unlocked. On a temporarily busted Amtrak SEA-PDX. It’s kind of exciting? I’ve never had so much of a glitch riding the train.

This is Washington at its worst.

We need to ban Congressional stock trading.

I don't know this company but I've bought that fabric and have made towels with it for biking around in the heat. They're effective. Here they are doing this cool temp demo and it really does work like that. www.youtube.com/watch?v=KQlH...

@sewingdeadgirl.bsky.social posting about her trip to Tulsa sewing machine museum reminds me I recently got one of my dream machines. need power/pedal and the case, but I got the grasshopper from my friend Rebecca of Queen Bee fame.

I can totally smell that room. 🧵

CACO? Congress always chickens out?

it’s even more demoralizing when the history you’re repeating is history you were around for the first time

Go to 2 Stroke or go to Posey’s in Kenton.

Lots of options! 2 Stroke or go to Posey’s in Kenton. Kenton is better in general … less catering to the Freightliner crowd like this MAGA hiding behind a “no flag policy”

Jesus effing Christ. Shoplifting is having a huge spike. I haven’t seen it “trendy” to shoplift in a long time. These two caught in PDX on camera & by the owner. “I’m sorry” on repeat as they gave it all back.

Talk to your kids. Small business owners can’t afford this shit.

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

#hrt birth control psa…. If your estrogen patches don’t stay on your skin either, Lexcam adhesives that go over stelo/dexcom/blood sugar monitors work really well. I tried everything: the blow dryer trick, sock glue, KT tape. Lexcam is the best.

We’ve already militarized the domestic police force. If the military can just be called in for any reason, why do cops need military weapons? They should give those back.

I hope they never stop tweeting. My god.

SEIU California | SEIU California President David Huerta Injured, Detained at ICE Raid in Los Angeles We are proud of President Huerta’s righteous participation as a community observer, in keeping with his long history of advocating for immigrant workers and with the highest values of our movement…

Let’s be clear: ICE injured and detained the president of SEIU California for peacefully observing.

ICE picked the wrong side. The wrong state. The wrong person. and the wrong union. David Huerta stood up. And now 750,000 SEIU workers are standing up behind him.

Has anyone yet started clocking the sheer amount of time Cheeto has had protests & violent police responses under his times in office compared to other presidents?

Post to the subreddit r/AskHistorians: What was navigation like for vehicle drivers in the United States before the internet and GPS? Before GPS devices and smartphones/cellular internet networks were a thing (Garmin company was founded 1989), millions of Americans were already getting around driving without the use of those inventions. How did they navigate? Did everyone need stacks of maps? Were drivers frequently lost? Did everyone have to understand the interstate system and use intuition to guide them? How burdensome was driving before GPS? Did drivers pay people to calculate an optimal route for them?

Alright Freelancers! You know what time it is? It's the first weekday of the month! Send out those invoices. No... do not shut down that laptop. Send them out. Send out reminders for anyone late or coming up on late. And do not let them talk you into Net 60.

There is one place, however, where Musk, with the help of his minions, achieved his goals. He did indeed shred U.S.A.I.D. Though a rump operation is now operating inside the State Department, the administration says that it has terminated more than 80 percent of U.S.A.I.D. grants. Brooke Nichols, an associate professor of global health at Boston University, has estimated that these cuts have already resulted in about 300,000 deaths, most of them of children, and will most likely lead to significantly more by the end of the year. That is what Musk’s foray into politics accomplished.

Musk should be asked about this in every interview he does now and forever. To ignore it is a dereliction of duty.

I don’t think it’s a particularly hot take to say the person who posted a timelapse of themself playing GTA V on the interstate in their Cybertruck should be in prison

A small spider with light ten legs and a dark body. He is facing the camera and has a pair of large, forward facing eyes and three sharp tufts on the stop of his head. He is standing on the edge of a table.

With his punk rock tufts, Mr. Dimorphic Jumping Spider might be one of the cutest jumping spiders around. He's been hanging out with me on the deck today. #invert
