Radio stuff is regarded as wizardry, and sometimes it still feels like that (especially when you get into at atmospheric effects), but it’s rewarding to learn about electromagnetic waves and how they interact with the world around us, plus you can call Elon a poser when he talks about Maxwell’s Laws

"Life cannot just be about one sad thing after another," says the man responsible—directly or indirectly—for like 90% of the sad things that happened in the past year.

The other week, we went to do a final clean out my late MiL’s house and a non-binary friend came out to help us get rid of heavy garden stuff.
Several days later, our toddler goes “I have a question about Alex”
I was like oh dear here we go but then the question was “why didn’t they have a table?”

Cmon now guys. If any Dem says anything besides shut down until this is all gone then there's no need for federal government at all. These are concentration camps. If you're too scared to say so then you're part of the problem.
In the last month ICE has bought warehouses in:
- Hagerstown, MD: $102 million
- Surprise, AZ: $70 million
- Hamburg, PA: $87 million
- Tremont, PA: $120 million
- San Antonio, TX: $82 million
- El Paso, TX: $123 million
- Social Circle, GA: price unknown
This is unprecedented.

It is. The Jewish Musuem in Prague has a collection of children's drawings from the Terezin ghetto. It was the worst thing I've seen in my life.
“Collection of Handwritten Letters from Children in Detention Center” sounds like an exhibit in the Holocaust Museum.
1/ ProPublica collected handwritten letters in mid-January from children held at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center, the same facility where 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was taken.
Hundreds of kids are still detained.
We’ll let the children’s words speak for themselves. 🧵

The fascists lamented that they lost the culture.
Where many saw bigger, better, more, they saw replacement and reduced position.
They thought they could use the state to force the culture into their small, sad, restricted vision, to return to a past that never really existed.
They were wrong.

Yes. People love to paint Corbyn and Starmer as opposites but there are throughlines over their tenures atop the Labour Party: corrosive, faux macho bullying, horrible appointments made for loyalty rather than competence, a sneering indifference to racism & gaslighting of its victims
(If No.10 and its outriders had an ounce of self-awareness, they’d be asking themselves why the government’s flaws are uncomfortably similar to the Corbyn leadership’s flaws)

To be unapologetically joyful, to take up space, and to not water down or translate your identity, but celebrate it as it is, is the most defiant and powerful thing you can do.
I think this is right. I also think... how do I phrase this...
I think the focus in the English language on how joyous and unifying the show was is a little odd. Maybe I'm just old enough and white enough to have been able to watch the show with doubled vision... But I felt defiance, power and 1/3
