Edna Cooke, 1920

Let’s be clear here, when scientists say mistakes were made at the start of the pandemic, we DO NOT mean that we did too much. We mean not socially distancing quickly enough, not making tests widely available, and not acknowledging COVID is airborne and distributing N95 masks to everyone.

bought candy at the pool for a 13yo and she tried to give me cash. i was like nahh it's nbd, and she goes "girl i have seen your car." 13yo girls remain undefeated. you think you're talking to a child but you're actually talking to whatever gods used to send to punish mortals for their hubris

99% of the time, when someone accuses you of selective outrage, it’s a way of politically demobilizing you and shutting you up “Why are you angry about data centers instead of fast fashion” isn’t about making you care about fast fashion. It’s about shutting you up about data centers And visa versa

elected officials are meant to represent us and our values. the genuine PEOPLE, the CITIZENS, I DO believe are pushing left with all their might, even as the democratic establishment remains right-of-center don't lose hope! minds & hearts are changing, either growing in number or getting bolder

Today's bird is a Red-breasted nuthatch - Day 13

It’s really starting to grind me down

Recommended viewing even if you think you're not particularly interested in what it's like to intern at the NE Ohio Regional Sewer District.

“Over a half century, the Quicksand Economy transformed from tabloid newpapers to cable infotainment to reality TV to online influencers to AI facsimiles. Young people grow up longing to be a brand because it looks like job security. But there is no security in being post-human.” Great read

Same with gender-affirming care for kids. Good-faith concern would be, "gee we should be making sure kids are appropriately assessed before receiving care and don't end up regretting it," realizing the numbers are tiny, kids are assessed and regret rates are miniscule and then dropping it.

Good-faith concern on this issue would be going, "hmm, professional sports leagues should probably have some standards in place to ensure trans competitors aren't getting an unfair advantage," googling for 5 minutes, realizing every sports league already has those standards and dropping it.

i don't believe anyone has "good-faith" concerns about trans women in sports in 2026. there's been too much time to hear the actual evidence, the actual people affected, and the role the debate plays in attempts to purge trans people from American life. anybody picking that side has made a choice

a number one rule I have is that if the kiddos left a sidewalk chalk out you gotta draw something cool for them to find in the morning

I have no clue who needs to see this but start writing again.

100,000 was "an incalculable loss"; 1.2 million is "in retrospect, everyone overreacted." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S._De...

Don’t make me tap the chart

The posters saying "wait till you hear how many books the librarians shred" are being disingenuous. The destruction of books is not by itself what's causing outrage. It's in combination with many other factors, chief among them AI companies' history of unethical and even blatantly illegal actions.

I don't want a "Smart Fridge" that orders milk for me. I want a fridge that lasts 25 years and doesn't have a privacy policy that allows it to share my late-night snacking habits with my health insurance provider.

Approximately 1 out of 3 women will experience sexual and/or physical abuse in their lifetime and you still have men claiming that allegations must be false because there are too many of them. It’s actually the opposite. The vast majority allegations will never become public

White people hate data centers so much that even racism won't take their minds off of it. The tech bros have to be panicking at this point.
