Wait. You’re sure? You’re positive? Darmok AND Jalad at Tenagra? Okay. I’m putting some things together now.

Screenshot of a tweet by Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) capturing a Senate exchange in which Elizabeth Warren challenges IRS Commissioner Bisignano over whether tax cuts for Meta were paid for by cutting healthcare coverage. When Bisignano says he doesn't see the two as correlated, Warren presses: "Did you not follow that?" The embedded video shows Warren in a blue blazer gesturing at a Senate hearing.

She's so good at this.

The International Meeting for Autism Research #INSAR2026 is next week! We'll once again be hosting the #AutINSAR discussion on autistic priorities for autism research, since most research does …not consider those priorities. Join us Sat, April 25. 2025 recap:

Right out in the open, Donald Trump is suing his own IRS to try to steal $10 BILLION taxpayer dollars.

I just introduced a bill that would make this theft ILLEGAL.

Rümeysa Öztürk settles with US government and returns to Turkey The former Tufts University student who was detained by federal immigration authorities last year says she has reached a settlement with the government over longstanding legal issues.

“The time stolen from me by the U.S. government belongs not just to me, but to the children and youth I have dedicated my life to advocating for.”

It's extremely sad that we are forcing people like Rümeysa out of our country. She represents so much of what should be great about the United States.

Once again, I am begging major Jewish organizations across the country to stop platforming & richly compensating Bari Weiss to cosplay someone serious about the problem of antisemitism (or for that matter, literally anything else) in America.

As an elder millennial and lifelong Star Trek fan, I’m feeling existential jealousy for the luckiest humans alive right now, the crew of Artemis.

Weird how much this moment in time feels like the 60’s might have felt, right down to the frightening world stage

It’s legitimately fascinating the subtle differences between these two models. I tend to recognize the four foot model because of the relief/shadow of the Aztec paneling but this episode highlights that, and which windows they chose to light 🤔

Just that Americans are hopeless. I’m 44 and I’ve been surrounded by other Americans most of my life and they are hopeless. It really upsets me after half a lifetime spent advocating for progress.

He’ll probably have killed more children than any American in our lifetimes, and a non-zero rape count.

Trump’s body count is going to be absolutely historic

The truth is we’ve been in a historic Constitutional crisis for at least a year and you’d never know it from the coverage

So many of the legitimate concerns we remember from then, with all new batshit legitimate concerns today.

Grant us all grace, FFS, amirite

This really did enhance my appreciation of the Doctor on Academy and as a character who has aged like the finest Spätburgunder IMHO

Elon Musk takes aim at Wikipedia Musk has denounced Wikipedia as "Wokepedia" on X and urged people not to donate to the platform.

I’ve never donated to Wikipedia before but I set up a small monthly donation as a fuck you to the world’s richest psychopath.

It’s my birthday. Ask me anything.

Lower Decks should run for all eternity man. Fuck cancellation, keep them as a running commentary on all the Trek shows for forever. I don‘t wanna let this go 😭

The Silicon Valley Insurrection: Take Back the Internet To save ourselves from fascism we need to wrest back control of our digital lives

I've been reading a lot recently of @mmasnick.bsky.social over at Techdirt blog about where social media is headed and it's making me optimistic about the web for the first time since I lost my internet job in the media crash of the mid-2010s. Bring on decentralization, it's our only hope now!

Meme with side by side pictures of Marco Rubio and RFK, Jr, labeled “Marco” and “Polio.”

Who made this? Ahahaha

I use Helium Mobile & run two hotspots as a hobby… and this article has expanded my understanding/concerns about the project’s future development. Anyone know how to draft an HIP??

I’d like to know more about whether your office is involved with any of the efforts to improve legal protections for employees of abusive and discrimination-ridden workplaces in our state.

You are the best vote I ever cast, Ayanna! Thanks for fighting for 02125 ❤️

Hey! Same things! Glad I found you.

Black Labrador Retriever named Spock sits on a dirt path by the water just after sunrise.

With everything going on, I present the part of my day that keeps me sane. Spock requires adequate exercise to maintain his mental discipline 🖖🏽

@jonlovett.bsky.social good to see you on here. Suggest amending your profile to “pretty bag of mostly water.”

Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism.

We have to sustain each other. Making joy isn’t denial, it’s how we will survive
