The government is shooting priests in the head with pepper balls. I feel like this is a kitchen table issue.

This! I grow some delicious heirloom varieties of things that I can’t easily get at grocery store or farmers market. Plus it’s how I “touch grass”.

Dr. Jane Goodall filmed an interview with Netflix in March 2025 that she understood would only be released after her death.

Younger veteran: "How old are you, man?"

Older veteran: “87.”

Younger veteran: “Out here getting arrested, raising hell at 87.”

Older veteran: “It’s just beginning.”

This feels like evidence Trump's aides are deliberately gaslighting him, which is unfortunately very easy to do with dementia sufferers (Trump did it to his father) and which aides are using to seize control of the US military for their own purposes.

Warrior and legend.

South Shore Residents Return To Ransacked Apartments After ICE Raid: 'It Looks Like Hell' A "now renting" sign outside touts granite countertops. Inside, residents are trying to make sense of the raid that made their already neglected building even worse.

ICE is running around Chicago harassing people for not being white.

Just a year ago, that was illegal in the United States and now it’s commonplace.

That’s not making America great again.

Wow, that's just.... dumb. Seems that a very likely outcome is Strava getting one of their own patents invalidated, because they want rules to apply only one way?

OpenAI employees are very excited about how well their new AI tool can create fake videos of people doing crimes and have definitely thought through all the implications of this

Drop whatever you’re doing and read the last 15 pages of this 161-page opinion. I’m serious.

For nearly ten years now, I’ve been asking people to share One Good Thing from their week.

This week, I need to ask people to be the One Good Thing in mine.

I've missed this from old Twitter. It really helped me out at times, and you turned me onto some good new music and artists, so the least I can do is lend a hand back!

They ran thinkpieces about Biden’s gait and his sneakers. Now Trump’s dragging his leg, covered in IV bruises, and waddling around with ankles that look ready to burst—and not a single word from the media.

The double standard is pathetic.

Alt text: a pile of overflowing trash are standing next to a dumpster that is overflowing with trash.

Wow! That’s a solid set of races! You are faster than I ever was, and proof that once you’ve run fast your body remembers how to do it. Glad you have found time and the mental space to train, with everything else you have going on!

So far today, Chuck Schumer has said his strategy for preventing Trump sending troops into blue cities is to win over Republican senators (!) while Hakeem Jeffries praised Eric Adams's courage and authenticity (!!) while refusing to endorse Mamdani. Again.

These two gotta go.

If hearing the words “developer” and “Microsoft” together doesn’t trigger visions of a sweaty Steve Ballmer, then you’re way too new to have that impression. youtu.be/Vhh_GeBPOhs?...

This reporter helped expose the falsity of ICE's narrative on the fatal shooting of Silverio Villegas Gonzalez. His work is a perfect example of why we don't have secret police.

Journalists have a constitutional right to cover protests and their aftermath. Release @peoplesfabric.com immediately.

I have a Sole F85 treadmill. I prefer to run outside, even in winter, but use the tread when weather is absolute crap. It does not require its own dedicated 15A circuit, and it folds up so we have more room in our workout room for weights and other things. It's been going strong since 2020.

So many of us came so very unwillingly to this place of viewing the Supreme Court as unworthy of being viewed as a judicial body. Unworthy of veneration, unworthy of respect.

So profoundly reluctantly.

But, good lord have they earned it.

I cannot stress this enough.

We are protesting Broadview because of the human rights violations happening within the ICE facility.

If they are willing to assault me on camera, imagine what they are doing to detainees behind boarded-up windows.

Chalk messages at Arlington home of top White House official strike a nerve with GOP heavyweights | ARLnow.com A sidewalk chalk protest at the North Arlington home of a top Trump administration official became a talking point for powerful Republican voices this week. The Sunday demonstration around the home of...

“We understand that Katie [Miller], whose home was safely protected by dozens of heavily armed security and police, was terrified of our sidewalk chalk and messages — terrifying messages such ‘immigrants are people’ or ‘protect the constitution.'”

Y2K sucked for me. I was the lead engineer at my company, so I spent the evening in our NOC ready to respond should things go sideways. Fortunately they did not, so I just had a boring evening watching The Matrix on a laptop with a DVD drive.

According to Tom Homan, for the crime Tom Homan allegedly committed, Tom Homan should have his citizenship stripped away and be renditioned to a foreign prison without receiving due process in the courts.

Sorry, Tom Homan, but those are Tom Homan's rules.
