Black people, listen to me, take vitamin D. In all its formats. The world is cold n dark, but that doesn't mean you deserve extra suffering

I’m not saying this to be shitty, but I think more of y’all need to taste breast milk. It’s REALLY sweet, and there’s evidence that all that sugar (~40% of the non-water portion!!!) is important for cognitive development.

Notes From the Twin Cities I'm struggling to capture what it feels like in Minnesota, but here is a small attempt.

In a momentary lull (stress on "momentary"), I took up a recommendation from someone, an American now living outside the U.S., to read this essay I had missed when it came out last month. We need to remind ourselves why every action we take right now matters. www.winstonhearn.com/wrote/2026/n...

Gray-and-white cow cat curled up in a cat bed on my desk with head upside-down so I can scritch her chin.

I got my current desk precisely because it was big enough to do this:

a fluffy grey tabby in a white fuzzy desk bed suspended above a desk on a black metal bar. behind him is a fluffy black kitten sitting on the arm of an orange loveseat.

Anyway I saw someone post a photo the other day with a cat desk bed and was like "CAT DESK BED?!!?" so I forced my brother to buy me one (sorry buddy) and attached it to the desk about 15 minutes ago

Uptake is 100% so far!

I'm honored that Speculative Whiteness: Science Fiction and the Alt-Right appears on this list.

it turns out we actually live in a democracy! who knew?!?

one thing the trump era has made clear, i think, is that the american people themselves are far more committed to the values of our founding documents than our elites

Sometimes you just want to ask John Roberts, you destroyed the United States for ****Donald Trump*****

It's so cute.

A black brindle and white cardigan welsh corgi twisted into a noodle on her back, looking unamused at me upside down when I got home

The same black brindle and white corgi lounging on her side as if lifting her head is too hard

Something said to me at the precinct caucus tonight: wait do you have a corgi named macaroni??

Then when I came home this is the greeting I got from the celebrity dog

YouTube video by Technology Connections You are being misled about renewable energy technology.

Wow so I just watched @techconnectify.bsky.social most recent video and … honestly it was one of the most impassioned, heartening and inspiring videos regarding politics and the dark times we are in. It’s long but stick with it.

I think people often wonder this, and it's a great question, so let me explain the advantages of 3D printing whistles. There are many.

The 3D printing effort started from one of our organizers who started by sourcing mass-produced whistles.

Wouldn't it be great if Pennsylvania could match these numbers of trained constitutional #ice observers?

Melody, a small dilute tortie kitten, hanging out in my lap to assess all the scary things. The photo is a weird angle, so it looks like she's looking at the bottom right corner.

Sonnet, a ginger kitten looking very concerned and refusing to leave the open carrier.

Field trip field trip field trip! Sonnet and Melody are hanging out in the bus today.

They have Some Concerns.

it's actually a really good political skill that Mamdani convinces people that this is true. I think American politicians, especially dems, really failed/forgot how to slap their names on shit and say that they did, they are why people are benefiting from X etc, even when that isn't strictly true.

no, that's ok, because it means when they give you the GREAT FISTFULLS OF $$$ to option & then make the series, they can use the title w/no problem!
Seriously get an agent on that, it is SO series-worthy

I've been thinking about this a lot and this is gamergate energy.

I do not have any experience in protest organization or tactics and do not feel that contributing my opinion to any of the related discourses would be helpful and I think more people should probably take that approach

but not, per the reviews, a coherent plot ...

Here's a cartoon from, as you see, 1911. What Dr. Plait says is not new news.

@schmidtocean.bsky.social saw a Hatchetfish earlier today & it reminded me that they got this fantastic image back in 2021 during their #designingthefuture2 expedition during dive 454. That was a phenomenal midwater expedition. #MarineLife

Tell Your Members of Congress to rein in ICE NOW On January 24, federal forces with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) killed Alex Pretti in Minneapolis. This was just over two weeks after the killing of Renee Good. These killings are a direc...

That includes real accountability for abuses and clear guardrails to stop raids and intimidation. Anything less would be a failure to meet this moment. The public has done its part, and now Congress must do theirs.

House votes to end partial government shutdown, setting up contentious talks on ICE The House has approved a spending bill to end a short-lived partial government shutdown. Now lawmakers will begin contentious negotiations over new guardrails for immigration enforcement.

This vote buys time, not solutions. The fight is now squarely on DHS and Republicans are on their back foot. Democrats have less than two weeks to press their advantage — they must hold the line and refuse to fund DHS without ironclad limits on ICE and CBP.
