Meanwhile almost every single other Dem seat on the ticket is running unexamined and unopposed.

Everyone is watching the main act, while everything down ballot keeps going to the establishment.

Have to wonder if one reason propagandists are so desperate to divide Texans in the Dem primary is because a strong Dem win would be a lethal signal to the GOP majority

Have to also observe the harm that's been done the past decade that almost no one is engaging on substance over personal attacks

I don't know how to explain it, but to me SNL skits always have live action Scooby Doo energy.

I feel like a healthy society of intelligent species would dedicate as many resources to replenishment and growth as they do to extraction.

How to Organize Safely in the Age of Surveillance From threat modeling to encrypted collaboration apps, we’ve collected experts’ tips and tools for safely and effectively building a group—even while being targeted and tracked by the powerful.

I don’t think I’ve ever had so many people writing to me to ask about encrypted/secure/private tools for comms, collaboration, and organizing. So @lhn.bsky.social and I talked to experts and assembled this: the Wired guide to organizing in an age of surveillance. www.wired.com/story/how-to...

One thing I've thought about consistently while watching The Love Is Blind series, is how almost everyone on the show seems like the type of person that would openly mock someone who met their partner online outside of a dating app. And also how the show tried to make something common, novel.

Seeing my aging sidekick cat decline so heartbreaking. She's been with me for over 15 years.

She forgets when I'm home, gets scared at night, eyes are failing, she's barely active.

She's happy being warm and near us, she doesn't seem like she's in any pain.

Just aging.

I'll miss her dearly.

Someone pointing out that yes the NFL had a fantastic, historic and deeply meaningful full halftime show, but they capped it on either end with dystopian surveillance, selling medications to people that they degrade, and other exploitation.

"It's clearly not just the Epstein files. It's the Men files. An inconceivable amount of men at every conceivable level of power have been able to freely brutalize and abuse children, and only a woman is in jail for it"

Hope you're ok!

Every social theory undergirding Trumpism has been broken on the steel of Minnesotan resolve. The multiracial community in Minneapolis was supposed to shatter. It did not. It held until Bovino was forced out of the Twin Cities with his long coat between his legs. The secret fear of the morally depraved is that virtue is actually common, and that they’re the ones who are alone. In Minnesota, all of the ideological cornerstones of MAGA have been proved false at once. Minnesotans, not the armed thugs of ICE and the Border Patrol, are brave. Minnesotans have shown that their community is socially cohesive—because of its diversity and not in spite of it. Minnesotans have found and loved one another in a world atomized by social media, where empty men have tried to fill their lonely soul with lies about their own inherent superiority. Minnesotans have preserved everything worthwhile about “Western civilization,” while armed brutes try to tear it down by force.

Last week in Minnesota, I watched ordinary people risk their lives to protect their neighbors. In the process, they not only won a significant—though not final—victory against authoritarianism, they proved virtually every MAGA social theory wrong. (gift link) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Finally lost my Finch streak at 420 days.
Fun adventures along the way.

Cool to learn so many factoids about countries

It's not lost on me the irony of Hilton desperately trying to keep their ICE bookings in good standing, while ICE destroys tourism, and Trump destroys the economy- And they're the only ones with the money to travel and stay in hotels anymore.

Knife set on this zwilling website for 129, full price.

Same knife set on the gilt website for 119, claiming 217 full price and a 44% discount

Wild how Gilt has become pretty much nothing but a scam site.
Here they are selling a Zwilling knife set for $10 less than the manufacturer, but claiming it's a 44% discount and fabricating a listing price.

"Why is no one talking about this?!?" decried the terminally online netizen, after their groomed and curated algorithm introduced them to their next cherry-pickable outrage subject.

Going to go make myself a mug of soup

They’re a word puzzle / propaganda company.

FYI @josephcox.bsky.social

Quite the fishy ads to get served on @404media.co 🥴

Other than not having enough time I wonder why more people don't marinate or brine their meat before cooking a lot of dishes.

Mark Cuban really peaked with the healthcare stuff.

I wonder if it gave him an even more inflated sense of ego because everything I've seen from him in the past few months has been startlingly out of touch no matter how many people have told him so.

Feeling very Oz behind the curtain.

Restarting PokemonGo after a few years away..

"What the fuck is this thing... What the fuck is that thing.. How is a sword or a piece of furniture a pokémon??"

Where Winds Meet- like every single other NetEase game, 1.5 hours in And there are seven clear ways to spend money and few clear attempts to explain the purpose and goals of the game beyond their typical treadmill of incremental improvements with a $$$ incentive.

Uhh...

The Sean Combs documentary. Phewww.

And so much of it an open secret. So many rappers, even Eminem, had it completely right over the years and talked about these things.

Was surprised to recognize the Park Hyatt New York as where he was staying during the trial.

ARK Survival Ascended came out 2 years ago, has an excessive amount of DLC and mods. And is still one of the buggiest base games I have played in decades.

The dinos don't even have basic tracking for point A to point B. They just get stuck in everything all the time. And randomly teleport

Sony being generous with this Black Friday PlayStation deal. 🤪

I can't stress enough how extremely critical it is for folks who are even minorly technical to explain to their extended familles how dangerous AI chatbots and genai are.
