So I did the thing before I chickened out (or came to my senses) and threw up a GFM as a stop gap measure. I hate doing it more than anyone will hate seeing another fund raiser.

Lots of folks captioning aurora photos like "for a few minutes we didn't think about politics"
guess I'm built different, every time I'm out trying to see night sky stuff I frequently think about how much light pollution is entirely preventable with just a tiny bit of regulation

I absolutely want to find and experience new music and new artists. But right now, platform based algorithms do not care about that, at all.
I tend to stick to songs I grew up with and prior, songs I know an artist performed or have seen do so.
But how do we fight this volume of spam? 50k/day?!

Insane new stats on AI music:
- 50,000 AI songs are uploaded every day
- 34% of songs uploaded are AI-generated
Massive respect to Deezer for being open about this - and being the only streaming platform to try to fight it.
This can't become the new normal.

The question everyone is asking right now is this: NYT had deep access into all of this in real time and reported none of it. Why? In consequence, no NYT reporting on this subject is trustworthy.

"This could take down Democrats, too."
I know. And I frankly wouldn't give even an itty bitty damn if it implicated every Democratic man in Congress, every Democratic hopeful for 2028 and every Democrat who has even thought about running for office.

81 years ago, FDR proposed a second Bill of Rights to guarantee every American the right to employment, healthcare, education, housing, and a living income. His words are as relevant now as they were then. Watch.

The coordinated nature of this—none are facing voters in 2026—means that either Schumer approved it or failed in his job as Senate Majority Leader to stop it.
Dems voting "no" get zero credit until they demand a change in leadership. Schumer out as Leader, Durbin out as Whip.

Unsurprisingly every airport I’m scheduled to fly through in next weeks is on the list, as it includes every major airline hub.
And yes, #PAXU attendees should keep an eye on their flight info.

I don't usually do this, but I will be at #PAXU and would love to know about your booth/panel/other cool thing.
I'm in the final stretch of the first draft of the AP book, so would also love to talk to folks I haven't had a chance to (along with familiar faces I''ll be glad to see again).

Every day these motherfuckers present us with more & more evidence that there exists no depth of depravity they will not gleefully explore. It is a CHOICE to come up with & enact a plan that purposefully traumatizes the smallest members of our society. A fucking CHOICE. Hell ain’t hot enough.
This was horrific to watch. Agents entering a daycare, wrestling with and abducting a teacher in front of small screaming children. I just… what the fuck are we doing here.
this morning, ICE went into a Spanish language immersion daycare and took a teacher from the building in front of screaming and crying kids and parents at dropoff and the daycare had to shut down for the day (near Lane Tech, where they were yesterday). Really hoping today's "theme" is not "daycare."
