I had them when I was a kid and they were the best!

One of these photos is not a dog...

There is one named Hermie that visits Harvard's Countway Library!

I genuinely do not understand management's refusal to agree to basic protections, like that they won't replace us with AI. It's baffling. Makes no sense. We're on strike to show management how serious we are about this, and how eager we are to get a contract done!

There is no ethical consumption of HBO’s Harry Potter series You can’t without supporting Rowling’s transphobic bigotry.

"Rowling has been transparent about her desire to keep assisting people in their efforts to rob transgender people of their dignity and human rights. That seems very much to be the entire point of The J.K. Rowling Women's Fund"

I'm a big fan of savory oatmeal! Quick to make, you can spice it however you want, and add any variety of nuts, fruit, or other things to mix up the texture.

An elderly Portuguese water dog curled up in an armchair giving the camera a big doggie grin. She looks very pleased with herself.

A large sheet of pink foam insulation, mostly painted black. There is a trail of paw prints through the fresh black paint, and then black paw prints on the adjacent wooden floor.

Here she is, just a couple days ago, after walking across a flat I had just painted. Still a perfect menace.

My dog is dying and it's awful, but also people I haven't spoken to in years are coming out of the woodwork to remind me of the things she ate and the trouble she caused over the last 13 years and I'm treasuring every second of it

If your story can be written by AI it's not a story that needs to be written.

(speaking from a strictly US-based perspective)

At least in part! The rugged individualism marketing around cars and the general linking of vehicle with identity can't help either.

The thing about journalism that even people in the industry don't always understand is that the only hard part is having ethics, and that part is very hard indeed.

Maybe because we can't each other's faces easily? I bet somebody has done a study on this.

I would love to know more about what's happening in the brain at this moment. I've felt flashes of it myself in cars (usually at other drivers, and feeling is not the same as acting, but still), but it seems like there is something about this mode of transport that exacerbates our worst tendencies

I cut a car off on my bike at a 4-way stop (accidentally, but totally my error) and the guy pulled up close beside me, matched my pace so I was pinned between his SUV and the curb, and slammed on his horn. I managed not to jerk the handlebars and die, but sure felt like attempted murder

Back porch with several large windows completely covered in snow. The biggest window has a large metal dragonfly hanging in it because I don't want birds to fly into it. There are also some long gauzy curtains, cushions, and general mess because it's winter, please don't judge me

We've lost visual

Wait, they're not even proposing building into the woods?? I walk there with my folks a lot (not locals but it's the only park where you can legally have off-leash dogs) and people are acting like the whole area will be paved.

Breaking down the whole Bad Bunny halftime show so I don't have to:

Benito is a threat b/c he makes art so alluring and enjoyable you want to understand everything about it and then you end up learning about sugar and slavery and colonialism and the Taínos and Hawaii and then you probably have some thoughts of your own, and that's why art is powerful and dangerous

Glad all the millennials are on the same page here

lizzie johnson @lizziejohnsonnn · 49m I was just laid off by The Washington Post in the middle of a warzone. I have no words. I'm devastated. Quote lizzie johnson @lizziejohnsonnn · Jan 25 Waking up without power, heat, or running water. (Again.) But the work here in Kyiv continues. Warming up in the car, writing in pencil — pen ink freezes — by headlamp.

INBOX: Washington Post Ukraine Correspondent Lizzie Johnson announces that she has been laid off in the middle of a below-freezing war zone without power, heat, or running water.

Pursued by federal agents, suburban ICE observers remain resolved After a frightening pursuit by federal agents, suburban ICE observers say fear hasn’t stopped them from protecting their communities.

“If I am killed doing this, throw my body at the White House, martyr the shit out of me & raise hell. Do not be sad. Do not think I would do anything differently. I would do it over & over again — this is too important to sit down & shut up and not do anything.” www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

Great story, with possibly the greatest author's disclosure of all time:

"Disclosure: Prior to his election, the author was Councilor Green’s DM in a Dungeons & Dragons campaign."

"we live in hell but we are going to fucking win" is exactly how I'm feeling these days

There’s a rally going on in Boston rn and they’re chanting “we’re not cold, we’re not afraid, MN taught us to be brave!” and I might cry

Opinion | I'm a Minneapolis sociologist who studies violence. Here's how ICE observers are helping. Research into how violence occurs shows that disapproval from the people around you can help reduce it.

For @msnownews.bsky.social, I wrote an article about how ICE Watch is grounded in sociological theories of violence prevention.

The reality is that most men will only commit public violence in extremely specific scenarios and ICE Watch disrupts the conditions necessary for escalation.

Truly surreal to be in Tierra del Fuego and hear an Argentinian guide accurately explaining ICE and Renee Good's murder to a woman from Barcelona. Four different countries represented in our group, all giving me looks of sympathy.

"Seems like you don't really have a government anymore"

“ICE is doing what ICE is designed to do” played over video of ICE engaging in acts of violence should be the wall to wall DNC media strategy right now
