Grief is a sneaky bastard. The day can be going perfectly then a smell or a sound or a picture. Too often the lack of smell or sound or the picture you can’t take.

"There’s unlikely to be any one moment when the dam breaks and Trump loses GOP support across the board. But there is a steady drip of frustration and dissent from within his own party that has weakened him and will continue to weaken him."

Everyone should read this today:
New in PN: Republicans in Congress show signs of life

"Amid the understandable despair, it can be easy to miss flickers of hope. But the fact is that the regime is ramping up violence and terror in part because its grip on the nation, and even on its own party, seems to be slipping."

🚨 If you're going to join any protests, you need to think beyond your physical well-being to your digital security, too.

Imagine for a second you're a patient in a hospital room (already fantasy to most of America), and the nurse is like, "The doctor will be right with you."

And he just opens the door like:
I thought this was a joke but it’s an actual post from the White House: “we are ending the war on protein”

How about ending the war on the health of this country?

I don't know who needs to hear this, but "disrespect" is not a defensible argument against murder and f*ck everything about this rotten ghoul's anus you festering gangrenous blithering sh*t stain of a mass of flesh.
Q: "Do you believe that deadly force was necessary?"

Trump: "It was highly disrespectful of law enforcement. The woman and her friend were highly disrespectful of law enforcement…Law enforcement should not be in a position where they have to put up with this stuff."

This chode getting the Nobel Peace Prize (for all its faults) would make as much sense as Nero being awarded sainthood.

Love should be the prevailing expression towards all other beings, so I'd argue it absolutely does.

"Our" definitions of 'love' are too narrow, + our inability to separate it from romantic intimacy + our idealism is where the problem lies.

I've loved from first sight. Especially my cats + dogs.
Love at first sight doesn't exist.

Love requires building connection over a long period of time.

2026 feels like too many years. That’s definitely way too high a number, right?

USPS quietly changed its postmark rules — mail is no longer dated when you drop it off. The “official” date is when it hits automated sorting — sometimes days later

Which could have major implications for mail in voting — it’s a clever way to disenfranchise voters that’s going largely overlooked

The sense of fulfillment comes before you ever reach that “ideal” life. It’s a prerequisite, not a byproduct.

So, you know, act accordingly.

Just saw a dude use fecundity in a post where a guy kicked himself in the crotch with a robot followed by dozens of people arguing about what is “technically” AI or not.

So this place was nice for like a week huh?

Oh, humans. Y’all are exhausting.

Let’s talk about something not many people are chatting about and what’s actually happening right now.

You might wonder why Imran Ahmed and the Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH) suddenly became targets of the U.S. government. The honest answer is that their research hit where it hurt.

Another Christmas (f*ck up of a) Miracle. Looks like somebody at the DOJ finally got the Nuremberg Trials section of their History for Dipsh*ts pamphlet as millions more Epstein-related documents have been "found":

You can have a protest on a weekday, weekend, day, or night. Your protest can have a permit or no permit. Be quiet or loud. It can be 1 person or 1 million people. It can be a few hours or months. Whatever you do just show up and use hashtag #3E to share your images, video, voices, calls to action.

Happy to see pieces like this & I hope it's an indication of a trend & becomes more widespread - I've certainly been working on this in my own life over the last few months.
(imo calling some of these "ethical" is a little side-eyey but I do think it's worth it to find alternatives for many reasons)
The Search for Ethical Tech Alternatives
As major tech companies become more invasive, users are turning to privacy-focused alternatives. Proton has a solid suite of offerings, but mixing things up is probably the way to go.
