Oh! Turns out I have that already. And it does work, I just though there was something maybe better.

One reason conservative media has been rhetorically stymied by community resistance in the Twin Cities is because they really convinced themselves they were entering hellholes no self respecting person would defend, not nice places to live.

So he was booed (rightfully) and I guess NBC/Peacock (where I was watching downplayed it.

Voters put Donald Trump back into office. After his disaster of a first term. After his 34 convictions. After knowing he was besties with Epstein. People voted for him.

Our fellow Americans are the reason we are living through this daily nightmare again. Never forget that.

Just because good news is worth celebrating:

There is now a Prep medication that is an *every six month* injection.

HIV has, effectively, a vaccination.

1. It was not an accident.
2. It was not a staffer.
3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia.
4. He isn’t sorry. He means every racist thought he shares.
5. His base agrees with him.
6. He will do it again.
7. No one in power will hold him accountable.

I'm surprised the U.S. didn't get booed on our entrance to the Winter Olympics (especially with Couch Fucker Vance there) but I guess they either told them not to or we're not as hated as we feared.

No, really, @washingtonpost.com, I am the one who is sorry to see you go. Farewell to what was once my go-to, trusted news source. I'm sorry that you had to die in darkness.

Gladys Mae West obituary: mathematician who pioneered GPS technology She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.

Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Your inner critic speaks up so early because it's trying to prevent pain, not because it knows something true about your work. Learning to recognize "that's fear talking" versus "that's an actual craft problem" changes everything. One deserves compassion. The other deserves revision.

Internal White House meetings going on, like, "Hopefully the racism will distract from the pedophilia which will distract from the killings which will distract from the pedophilia again which will distract from the economy which will distract from the pedophilia a third time"

Just know that any time you see the phrase "fully autonomous," it's a lie. We are at least a decade away from true AGI. At least.

I’m not sure we’ve properly addressed how profoundly disturbing it is that America can largely shrug at the stashing of human beings in giant warehouses.

Congrats to our QB Matthew Stafford on his well-deserved MVP award. Here’s hoping he gets another ring to go with it next season.

Y’all, this is how long this week has felt to me: I saw it was past 5pm and realized I hadn’t re-skeeted @craigweekend.bsky.social so I went to the page then I saw that there was no new skeet and hadn’t been one for 6 days. B/c it’s not the weekend. It’s only Thursday.

It’s really weird for some corners of the media to do a whole “the Epstein files are a moral panic that has gone too far” thing when no one has faced any sort of punishment and doesn’t sound like they’re going to.

A deaf teen was violently detained by ICE for not “following orders”.

He couldn’t hear their orders.

They denied him an interpreter.

Denied him accommodations.

This is who they are.

They target the disabled because eugenics and fascism go hand in hand.
