The government is in full shutdown and the Republicans are refusing to call the House back into session.
Want to know why?
Because we have secured the final vote on releasing the Epstein Files and they don’t want it out.
Call GOP and tell them to swear in @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social.

A Gen AI therapist is not a therapist. It's a glorified autocorrect machine programmed by the world's most self-centered, entitled, and rich engineers designed to tell you what you want to hear. For the love of God people, you'd get better therapy from spending an hour outside with a friend or two.

I'm forever fascinated with #Babymetal and how they've become a nexus for cross-cultural, multi-lingual, cross-genre cross overs and collaborations. I think it represents one of the most beautiful things about Metal and how open minded and welcoming this community is. #MetalForth

The Codenames story is also on @wargamer.com
It's spread so wide. And so many people are being very stalwart and supportive. I hope Czech Games can see that this isn't anger, it's disappointment. And they can still fix it. They can still do the right thing.

Los Angeles residents were outraged after dozens of federal agents marched through MacArthur Park, in one of the city’s most immigrant-heavy neighborhoods. Homeland Security officials said it was an immigration enforcement operation, though it was unclear if anyone had been arrested. trib.al/JYW5IsU

BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.”
They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.

With the Switch 2 launching soon, I was reminded of this cool series of Japanese ads that counted down to the PS2's release back in 2000. Watching all these little vignettes of people just quietly anticipating the PS2 are really effective at making the release feel momentous.

A three day weekend is too short under normal circumstances, but with how atrocious traffic has become in the Bay Area, it's starting to feel like it's becoming less and less worth it trying to get out of town for a couple days.
