What in the fresh NIMBY hell? My neighbor passive aggressively said hello and then looked at my dog and asked if I knew an alarm went off when he walked on the lawn? I said no and have a nice day. Come on. Walking on the lawn. Seriously. My dog is unimpressed.

Trump is talking about shuttering publications and networks he disagrees with. He's talking about deporting and imprisoning Americans who dissent. This is unprecedented and undemocratic.
Wake up America.

So let’s be clear: in the United States today you can be grabbed in the middle of the street by masked unidentified men and bundled into a van and taken away to God knows where, all because you wrote something that upset the government. That is the United States of America in March 2025.

DOGE plans to fire 430 workers at the IRS Taxpayer Advocate Service — which helps low-income and small business filers.
Meanwhile, its wider agency layoffs will make it even easier for the rich to get away with skirting what they owe.
See what DOGE is really about?

Totally spooked. Someone came to our back door at 1230 in the morning claiming that they were here to babysit our dog. Thankfully he barked up a storm and nothing bad happened. Good boy.

hello cis friends
this is what people mean by trans genocide
if a type of person does not officially exist, then any harm against them cannot be measured or reported
this headline change isn't even being caused by an executive order
it's simply the NYT editors deciding we don't deserve to exist

Sitting in the newly remodeled Nuart Theater to see the Oscar Nominated Live Action shorts. The theater is beautiful. What a nice job Landmark.

What does it say about the state of the world that hearing These Are The Days by 10,000 Maniacs in the grocery store makes me cry because it reminds me of listening to it my senior year in high school in 1993 when everything still seemed possible and the world not such a cruel place?

I just saw the Oscar nominated documentary short subjects. Three of them were devastating. Congratulations @keribla.bsky.social and the rest of the I Am Ready, Warden team. A very thoughtful look at the death penalty. Incident enraged me and Death By Numbers left me sobbing. Great work all around.

Tesla earned $2.3 billion in the United States in 2024.
You'd think it paid a lot in taxes, right?
Well it paid precisely $0 in federal income taxes last year.
You want waste and fraud? Look at what some big corporations and the rich are getting away with.

One thing that I am glad about the Karla Sofía Gascón implosion is that something else will hopefully win best picture. I have seen all the nominees and any of them would be a better choice.

Nickel Boys was unlike anything I have seen in the recent past. I will be thinking about it and feeling slightly nauseous from the camera work for awhile.

We had many fatal plane crashes in decades past when hiring practices favored white men. This DC accident is the 1st fatal U.S. commercial air crash in 16 years. That hardly suggests fairness in hiring is a problem. Quite the opposite. Trump is using a tragedy to push his racist, sexist message.

Americans are in panic mode trying to figure out how Trump’s lawless, destructive, cruel order to halt virtually all federal assistance affects them.
