Being #OpenToWork in 2025 means targetted ads like this. Appreciate the humor I guess, but not exactly instilling optimism.

There is still beauty in this world
Judge rules that Black church in DC, which won a $2.8 million default judgment against the Proud Boys, now gains control over the trademark “Proud Boys.” The far-right group is barred from selling any related merchandise or symbols without the consent of the church. Gift link:
Proud Boys Lose Control of Their Name to a Black Church They Vandalized (Gift Article)
A judge awarded the trademarked name and symbols to a Washington church to help satisfy a $2.8 million judgment against the far-right group.

Thank you Senator Kim! I hope to hear of similar actions out of Senators Slotkin and Peters soon!
Senator Andy Kim just went to the USAID building, talked to the security guard there to confirm employees are being barred entry, and then did a press gaggle right there in front to call it out.

This is doing something. This is making an effort on messaging. Other Democratic lawmakers: take notes.

Posted this recently to my FB feed. It's by no means meant as a defense of Zuck. But I haven't stuck around there this long because if him. I will continue to grow my presence here on bsky, but so far, it's no replacement for what I've built on FB. Just my $.02 (full text in alt text)

Sherrone Moore ages takes so well I'm worried he might get poached if the Cheez-It guy gets canned.
Alabama favored by 16.5 over Michigan, by far the biggest spread of the day.

If you need to get some pre-NYE stuff done and aren't a big fan of the Tide or Wolverines, the ReliaQuest Bowl may be the one to skip.

(Assuming Bama doesn't borrow Ohio State's game plan😅)

I keep a thing of chapstick in my top desk drawer. Today I realized I also keep a thing of superglue that's about the same size and shape as chapstick...

Public service announcement: when a rep or senator says something, they literally have the same info you do from the same sources.

We always pretended to have special knowledge, but rarely did.

Keep that in mind with the drone hysteria

Interesting. I suspect this becomes a growth area of research (and conflict).
Govts, investors, universities & environmentalists are pouring millions of dollars into research & modeling of solar geoengineering or climate intervention: The idea of intentionally trying to block solar radiation. #Polycrisis #SolarGeo #ClimateCrisis www.nytimes.com/2024/11/28/c...

Balloon launches from around the world are part of a new kind of global alarm system: One that can detect if another country tries to dim the sun.
