This week’s #dopamine.

#Ice #storm #reads.

I’m in it for the #labradoodle.

We all need a #puppy today, so here’s one my coworker brought in!

Also trying to keep this in mind. Pay attention to the actions, not the words.

Saving this to read later since this is a source I trust.

“No one GAF about Columbia. We can grow our own coffee beans. Problem solved”

You literally cannot grow coffee in most of America

James Harvey III, Tuskegee airman, leader of the team that won the US military's first aerial gunnery competition for combat aviators. AKA, Top Gun. James Harvey is a handsome Black man in WW2 uniform with an indomitableble look of calm confidence.

Hey, while we're talking about erasing history:

In 1949 the US military held its first Aeriel Gunnery Competition, later known as "Top Gun."

The best of the best competed in dogfighting and other skills. The team that won, was the 332nd: The Tuskegee airmen.

So they refused to announce a winner🤡

I'm so tired of it.

Neil Gaiman claiming autism.

Musk claiming autism.

Autism doesn't make you do terrible, terrible things.

Stop. Blaming. Autism.

She's got a point, y'all.

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.

What does this even mean? If nothing else, I’m getting great ideas for a dystopian novel.

Pin this, save it, we’ll need it.

“When a prison camp opens in your town…when a DREAMer is disappeared from your classroom…when the President destroys what’s left of the Constitution…They will all say they didn’t know this was coming. And I want the American people to know that they did.”

Watching my nightly #satire show! Oh wait, just kidding, it’s the #national #news.

Thank you.

Stay strong. For us, this is more than just a job-it’s a calling. Together, we will stand to protect our parks, environment, and wildlife. Four years… we remain hopeful that the attack on our public lands will be less brutal this time.

All I can do during this “inaugural address” is #cringe.

Today, honor a King, not a Felon. #mlkday2025

Thoughts so far:

1) #Trump looking super orange today.

2) #JDVance is sitting like his hands are glued to his pants (manspreading of course).

3) The President can pardon people before they are charged? Weird.

4) #Kamala has so much grit. I could never be there.

5) Who invited Zuck?

You got it! Welcome!

I don't really use TikTok that much, but I find it fascinating that our government is on the verge of banning an app for national security reasons that are still unclear in the same week that Meta, the largest social media company, says it's now fine to hate LGBTQ people and call us mentally ill.

New family #pet. Meet #Luther.

Exactly. My mom said almost the same thing.

ME: [extremely burnt out] I need to take the day off to relax

ALSO ME: I wonder if there is a way that I could relax that would be more productive

Adopting from foster care is the hardest thing my wife and I have ever done. It’s also the best thing we’ve ever done.

“I want to express deep disappointment in the fact that Congresswoman Nancy Mace came to a national foster youth event, told participating youth that it was a safe space — and literally had one of them arrested by Capital police for simply shaking her hand and asking about trans rights.”#fostercare

This is hard. For me, I think it depends on the field.

Reviewing/summarizing content = fine if it’s done appropriately, but when the AI is creating something entirely new for someone, that’s where I draw the line.
