In a way, I find the authoritarian takeover of our media system even more disturbing than the authoritarian takeover of our political system.
Our political system has been failing basically my entire adult life. But, the media system provided accountability and sort of worked. Now it’s collapsing.

My dating advice might be too geared towards neurodivergent nerds.
I told someone "Learn their hyperfixation and let them tell you all about it" 🤣

If you feel like screaming into the void, you could also pick up your phone and scream at your representatives.
Its like screaming into the void, except the void is required to listen to its voicemails.

Heart Eyes directed by @joshruben.bsky.social is a love letter (pun intended) to romantic comedies and slasher horror. I can't recommend it enough.

I love how optimistic and unrealistic we all are when the first real warm day of the year happens.
Yeah I absolutely will be able to do that hike, picnic,camping, 5k, and everything else. Don't bring reality into this.

Turning the national archives into a propaganda machine is the literal antithesis of what an archives should be.
NATIONAL ARCHIVES UNDER ASSAULT: They’re coming for our history.
The US archivist & staff resigned after Trump officials pushed to replace them w/loyalists.
Not just records you’d expect—slave records, immigration records, Native American treaties—all at risk. Will they rewrite or destroy history?
