“Did it work? Anyone? Anyone know the effects? It did not work”

I knew a Holocaust survivor who talked about the importance of notetaking under authoritarianism, to track what normal was and how it shifted. Here's that 🧵 with respect to disability, itself a canary in the fascist coal mine: www.disability-rights-watch.com/2025/02/09/w...

a smart and stylish sign move by the woman on the right side of the picture at this pawling ny protest
(republican mike lawler's district) -- a little hole-punch and a right-sized cord, and then you have both your hands free to hold your umbrella!

@maddow.msnbc.com thanks for keeping us so informed! Here is my son (Green Day fan, Trump hater) and I heading to #handsoff protest in MA.

@maddow.msnbc.com today’s protest in Mt. Kisco, NY

In the words of Jim Acosta, who resigned his position as a CNN newscaster,
"I will not give in to the lies, I will not give in to the fear."

I'm paying fifty cents more for eggs than my MIL. Not all states are available the website uses krogers api. So if you have a Kroger or affiliate you can track your average (?) egg price here. Not broken down by brands but seperated by Red vs Blue states.

This Week In The Big Picture With Donald Trump having just reentered the White House, it’s important to understand what went wrong for Democrats and right for Trump in last year’s election.

Yesterday, Jay Kuo gave us a guide to Trump's firehose of deplorable day-one actions. Tomorrow, guest writer Tristan Snell looks at how Democrats can win future presidential elections in this new digital media environment. Don't miss either piece at The Big Picture.

A poem from 1927 turned into a big hit record in 1971 has just sent shivers down my back in 2024.

That’s powerful for a post that’s nearly a hundred years old.. 🫠

Just a reminder that there’s an app available for your TV called PBS RETRO where you can watch all sorts of wonderful old pbs shows like Mr. Rogers and Reading Rainbow, you know, in case you might need that sort of energy right now

I’m convinced the “do audiobooks count as reading?” argument all derives from those mid-90s summer reading pizza challenges.

Folks - we’re all in our 30s and 40s now. It’s no longer a competition.

Go buy your favorite pie with your adult money and let people enjoy books however they want.

I am tired too... how abou you?

Special Counsel files motion to dismiss federal cases against Donald Trump. A reminder that, apparently, the path to redemption includes being a felon, becoming president, and skating past consequences.

Netflix - please stop minimising the end credits of movies to suggest something else. Let viewers enjoy the soundtrack and see the cast and crew that worked on the film. We'll exit it ourselves when ready to.

Hostile reminder that Chat GPT (and others) is still completely fabricating source citations. Tech bros keep saying this is fixed, but friend of mine just had a book made up and attributed to her yesterday.

Thanks for the template, it helps me avoid explicit language.
