There's so much angst and despair radiating all around us. This is wholly understandable, but if something's giving you warmth or strength (even just a bit), be sure to uplift that as well. Help others remember that kindness, solidarity, and care are still at work in the world.

Canada has been a great friend and neighbor to America. It’s a wondrous nation—rich in natural beauty and some of the kindest, most talented people anywhere—so when Trump told PM Trudeau to his face, multiple times, that Canada should be America’s “51st state,” it disgraced us. He disgraced America.

I don’t do self checkout if I can go thru a living breathing checker. I chat. I encourage and engage. I smile and say names and ask questions. People are more intelligent that the best self-checkout UI.

Thank you Bluesky for letting us do breaking news again 🥺
I came onto Bluesky an hour ago, and the first two things I saw were posts providing useful context for understanding the imposition of martial law in South Korea—the exact kind of thing that Twitter used to be so useful for in a developing crisis.
