Just happen to be looking for really early youtube videos on a topic,... and (1) its amazing how early the "debunking" video became a form and (2) I wonder how Mom is doing...
[note: not my mom, not my video]
Boston — Governor Maura Healey today nominated Vince DeMore to serve on the Massachusetts Parole Board. If confirmed by the Governor’s Council, DeMore will fill the vacancy created when Tonomey Coleman was confirmed as an Associate Justice on the District Court. Governor Healey also nominated Thomas Trilla to serve as Clerk Magistrate for the Northeast Housing Court. “My administration is committed to a parole system that prioritizes public safety and delivers fair and just decisions,” said Governor Maura Healey. “Vince brings a deep understanding of the justice system from multiple perspectives, including as a prosecutor, defense attorney and a Special Victim’s Counsel in the JAG Corps. He understands the responsibility of these decisions and will help ensure they are balanced, fair and grounded in evidence. I am also proud

Don't mind me.

I touched grass recently. Sharing these photos from a local wildlife sanctuary with you. Hope you get some rest.

Ummm no. Stopping in time for a child running onto the street is not heroic/lucky, it is your goddamn obligation as a driver. Cost of entry. Kids are allowed to be unpredictable, you are not.
98% of documented white phosphorus attacks in south Lebanon — tracked at whitephosphorus.info — fall within the IDF-declared "Forward Defense Zone." The zone Israel now claims as a military buffer is the same territory it systematically struck with that munition.
Oops! Apologies for mistagging you
In case you aren't aware of the issue...
Calvin Duncan served 28 years in jail for murder, was exonerated, ran for criminal court clerk, won with a 68% majority and the Republicans in the Louisiana Senate eliminated his position as a "cost-cutting measure".

🚨After months of fossil fuel industry lobbying, Republican lawmakers have introduced federal legislation that would give oil and gas companies immunity from any laws or lawsuits that aim to hold them accountable for their role in the climate crisis.
Time to get loud: 📣 NO IMMUNITY FOR BIG OIL 📣
And there it is....

Trump legal filing says he's in "discussions" with his own I.R.S. to "avoid protracted litigation"
Err,... not usually. Some of community singing do. Many don't even have movement?

This looks intriguing
The "shop small, shop local" folks have still failed to honestly address this stuff imo
That isn't to say supporting local isn't the move but... there's more to it than blanket support for small places

(to what extent can campaigns/elections/governance model the construction and operation of a reflective communal self-consciousness... definitely a social ontology question.... makes me want to read Brian Epstein again)
It's obvious why they are Centenals, but because I listened to most of the first book my mind always queries connections thinking of Centenals and Sentinels
I've been thinking about how it suits the narrative that people say the 🇺🇸 millennial generation was given
"You can do/be anything you choose & you can/should make a lasting mark on society."
I don't know that it's true that Gen Z wasn't offered that narrative, but I think early buy-in was lower?
It's enthusiastically & almost evangelically globally minded, w/out the hyperopia which often accompanies cosmopolitan narratives of globalism—washing out difference at anything above the preference/individual level
It raises my awareness of how thin my commitments to 🌏 capacity/peace building are
Central characters are fairly exceptional: they aren't doing bullshit jobs & even when they emote about "spinning their wheels," they are fairly hard-working and algorithmically adept.
so it hits weird for under-employed information-adjacent worker who doesn't do a lot of code in a time of AI boom
I think some of the things about @older.bsky.social's The Centenal Cycle that I like are simultaneously some of the things that make it a kind of hard read personally.
Feels important to uplift Rep Pressley's leadership. She puts in a lot of work on issues that others often don't see as a priority. I've appreciated her anti-criminalization work over the years. She's a worker.
Put up a railing by the kitchen door for my mom‘s (76) visit and put up a new towel rack in the bathroom. Remade the bed in fresh linens for her. Made a dozen citrus palmiers for school bake sale….made enchiladas for dinner.
So tired.
That's funny. I was told by reliable memes that the parties were the same on foreign policy and war-making
But the whole idea of pastoral v prophetic as poles doesn't really appeal to me. I think those who bring us to confess are often the very one we need to console us in our grief.
