To anyone heading out to the protests today, remember to leave as much as you can at home, focus on being a part of the collective, and listen to organizers instructions.

Drink lots of water and Do Good. Be safe and help each other.

Sincerely delighted to discover, 45 minutes into this nearly-wordless three-hour documentary about French monks who take vows of silence, that among the reasons they *can* talk is "to make sure the monastery cats know when it's mealtime by making little kitty-calling noises at them."

There are no corporations with progressive values, and corporations do not operate by a set of altruistic morals.

Corporations are by definition amoral, and exist only to maximum profits for owners and shareholders.

Corporate America is not going to save us from authoritarians and autocrats.

This is so dangerous.

Like, this is the kind of shit that’s going to get him assassinated by the CIA, if not a foreign agency, or both in tandem.

A Vance presidency would give the oligarchs all the same benefits with less unpredictability. I don’t think it’s out of the question.

Happy New Year, friends! Remember: That which does not kill us wins reelection and tries again.

Be vigilant and keep a good humor about your every day and spread laughter and good will. It’s the best inoculation against autocracy and idiocy.

For Maths fans, 2025 is a square.
45² = 45 x 45 = 2025
Also,
9² x 5² = 2025
40² + 20² + 5² = 2025
My favourite?
1³+2³+3³+4³+5³+6³+7³+8³+9³ = 2025

Every time I read the local news and see a teacher who was awarded a $250 grant for her classroom, I understand that she spent hours of her own time applying for it. Writing it. Going through a submission process.

For $250. For her classroom…

Yes. This experiment will work if you make it your own. Customize your experience, build new ones, make a social network that can be controlled by the people who use it an idea we do not go back on.
The deep goal of bluesky is to decentralize the social internet so that every individual controls their experience of it rather than having it be controlled by 5 random billionaires. Everyone thinks they signed up for a demuskified twitter...we actually signed an exciting and bizarre experiment.
