Here is a video of a frozen creek that had begun to thaw, and the water was flowing beneath the thin ice on top. I took this because it was soothing and wonderfully bloopy and I wanted to listen to it for hours. You are all welcome to enjoy it, too. Let your brain settle here and rest for a moment.

You want to watch this. And you want the sound on. Trust me on this.

I saw this video of a Vietnam vet in the fur coat yelling at ICE and thought to myself, "this is missing something," before I realized, "Ah, of course, the Ether instrumental. It's so obvious."

Best TikTok thing going is the two dudes trying food from every country without leaving NYC. If you haven’t seen them yet, it’s incredible. My favorite so far is last week’s. Legit got me emotional.

There is no hole deep enough for scum like Noem
Noem: "People need to stop using their vehicles as weapons ... it's clear that it's being coordinated. People are being trained"

Apropos of...everything a reminder that I have a list of accounts that regularly post relaxing and random stuff. It features NO NEWS. If you're trapped scrolling and need to shift your attention to something calmer it's a good way to do it. You can also pin it to your feeds

If you've seen folks saying that the ICE guys seemed untrained/ unclear, it's not that. It's intentional. MPD did this to Jess 10 years ago and ICE very likely just did the same thing today.
The order I failed to comply was to move my car. I had one trooper at my driver side window yelling at me to move back, another one behind my car screaming for me to move forward. Which order do I comply with?

Saying the Mpls woman should’ve complied is meaningless in a manufactured crisis.

That's amazing!
Do you know anything about the translation process or had you any contact with the translator at all?
I'd imagine it's a more complex job, not being directly word for word, as it might be with other languages..

I was looking up “skimo sprint” earlier because, while I was already hyped for skimo at the Olympics, I didn’t know it was this “sprint” version until @lodrina.bsky.social told me, and now I am SO hyped for this ridiculous event.

TAPPER: Can you rule out the US is going to take Greenland by force?

MILLER: Greenland should be part of the US. By what right does Denmark assert control over Greenland? The US is the power of NATO

T: So force is on the table?

M: Nobody is gonna fight the US militarily over future of Greenland

Stephen Miller, this evening: (paraphrasing)...
'The USA is NATO
No one is going to go against us militarily for Greenland'.

NATO will split before anyone takes on America.

I don't think the USA is prepared for the popular protest from Europeans that will arise, including boycotting US goods and services
