Exactly one year ago today:

This woman is a handpicked Trump supporter from Arkansas and she is less anti-trans than the median Atlantic columnist

I'm really hoping! That and D&D haha.

This and microscopes with slides and vials for collecting! I'm jacked for the day my daughter is ready for it.

She discovered magnifying glasses (and the newer digital ones too).

It’s a good thing Congress isn’t alive to see this

Once we hit season two it really became something so much more. Everyone's arcs are so wonderful.

Can anyone recommend any podcasts that can help with learning French on my commute? This would be passive learning atop more structured strategies.

I'm in the very early stages of relearning what little I knew from g1-9.

Back to not watching hockey

Once again we find that bad and evil triumph in this world

Rachel Notley 58m • First they came for the trans people. Then they came for the unionized workers. Next it was judges. Now it's immigrants. If you think that you or someone you love won't be next, you're sorely mistaken. UCP voter, NDP voter, pro environment, pro business, rich or poor - these things don't matter. What matters is that we have the moral strength to call out this vile divisive tactic by this premier. Our schools are not struggling because there are too many English language learners. Our schools are struggling because the UCP funds education at the lowest rate in Canada. Yet if even one in ten Albertans buys into Smith's tactic of blaming each-other, my heart hurts at the prospect of a child being sent into school holding this kind of hate for their schoolmates. Danielle Smith and her government are responsible for a litany of failures in healthcare, education, and the economy. The Premier is sowing hate and division to distract from the fact that her government is the real culprit. Albertans should not be fooled by this cowardly strategy. There is only one vote I want. It's called an election. Then we can rid our province of the worst premier and the worst government in the historv of Alberta.

this is journalism to me

It's unchartered, but we can see the terrain: the territory ahead includes masked secret police taking people to concentration camps but not new vaccines. That's our reward for a system in which fewer than 20 people, all of them deranged and malicious, control over $3 trillion.

That old saw about how "good times make weak men" is true in the sense that stable times with material abundance create reactionaries who want to destroy the systems that protect them because they're too sheltered and stupid to understand that things can get meaningfully worse. Jason CO @jasonc_nc. 2/8/25 I don't think a lot of people appreciate how much of their overall lifestyle and relative certainty is backstopped by a steady, boring stability of systems they don't understand or even realize exist. • 24 L7 1.8K 15K Ill 399K ... Max Dubler @maxdubler True decadence looks like people who are three generations removed from the cultural memory of polio refusing to vaccinate their children against deadly communicable diseases because they don't like needles and don't think there will be any consequences, not queer

So much of our present crisis is coddled, ignorant, and short sighted people tearing down the institutions that protect them because they don’t understand that bad things can happen.

Anyone currently involved in federal immigration enforcement, every officer, every bureaucrat, every lawyer, every judge, is a member of the most evil group of people this country has seen since Reconstruction. Darkness personified, every one. Doing this to children is beyond depraved.

"Pro life".

Like it or not, America is a load-bearing pillar of the global economy and handing power over to a bunch of people who value online grifters over scientists has dire consequences. They should be trying Vinay Prasad and RFK Jr. at The Hague.

we are in hell

This, Marble Madness, and the Great Giana Sisters were my earliest memories of PCs and gaming. Ahh the Amiga 2000.

One of the more depressing parts of my job is trying to explain to folks that 98% of the time politicians are passing laws or advocating for positions because they sincerely believe it will improve their communities, instead of Shadowy Forces Paying Councillors To Ignore The True Voice Of The People

kind of funny that an olympian said they are here to represent "compassion, respect, and love for others" and some people automatically knew that was a statement against them
