Had an intriguing editorial discussion recently: how did people in the past talk about 'minutes' when they didn't have watches or standardised times? How does that affect your thinking?

Come down an Elizabethan/Jacobean rabbit hole with me.

🎧 Gonna start a slowly evolving thread for my folk-funk faves

What’s folk-funk?

The foundational tracks were mostly released in the 70s

It’s jazz-adjacent, funk-inflected, & heavy on drum breaks, acoustic guitar, & groove

We start with a “founder” of folk-funk

I've never asked for followers, but I'm doing so now because if I can get 1K follows on Instagram I'll be able to livestream in the event I suffer or witness MAGA enforcement wrongdoing. I don't post often there, and when I do it's mostly dog pics.

ICE shot and killed a woman on camera today. We all saw the video.

The Trump administration is lying.

One of the principles that @garius.bsky.social and I stand by at @theupfront.media is that our writing on air travel accessibility and disability — including this 2,500-word feature — should be free to read.

Please share away, and subscribe to The Up Front to fund independent aviation journalism.

If you liked the @hyperfixedpod.bsky.social series on the black market for life saving cat drugs, @revealnews.org is running an hour-long version of that story this weekend! Hear it on the radio! Share it with your friends!!!
The treatment for a fatal cat disease wasn’t legally available. So cat lovers created an international black market.

Remember last night when we went to bed and the worst thing we had to worry about was the plagiarism machine that makes child porn?

Read the thread
When you get the reputation of being the guy with the encouraging words on New Year's Eve, it can start to come through as a little pressure -- what if the situation on the ground is worse than usual? what if people are more scared than they usually are, and with cause? what use are good vibes then?

☠️MORTIFYING CHRISTMAS STORY TIME

Ahead of the big day tomorrow, here’s the story of The Worst Thing That Ever Happened At Christmas. A few years ago, the two of us were invited to a communal Xmas dinner at a friend’s house, where all the guests were to bring different Xmas dinner components. 1/

We already have four cats and a dog but someone must need a little buddy
Looking for a Christmas miracle for a kitty (aging parent situation) for Baltimore pals: (1/2)

""My mom can no longer keep Angelo (alas!!!) and we are looking to rehome him. Angelo is a total sweetheart. He is 6 years old, gentle, playful, friendly, and a lovebug."

The knight stood, triumphant, over the prostrate dragon. He raised his sword high above his head and-

"I wouldn't if i were you"

The voice was in his head. Confused, he glanced around. A black cat was cleaning a paw, casually nearby.

He raised the sword again.

"Are you REALLY, really sure?" /1

Happy Hanukkah to our friends who celebrate. Rachel Posner, a rabbi’s wife in Kiel, Germany, took this photograph in 1931 -- a potent reminder that fascism must be fought in every generation, even if it's wrapped in an American flag and a red hat.
