He’s her best friend’s little brother and a beleaguered NHL forward. She’s a computer scientist used to being in control. The E.M.M.A., her elite AI training program, claims optimizing his performance requires one thing: the perfect match. According to its calculations, that’s her…

A photo of Kim Taehyung in his casual military clothes smiling with his nose scrunched, major bread cheeks, while standing in a field of small purple flowers outside of what might be apartment complexes?

Yes for sure — and something very specifically toxic seems to be happening in threads

Lia Riley ⁷ @liarileyauthor.bsky.social · Feb 20

I deleted Threads awhile ago but does anyone else feel that site is actively preying on liberal fear as a tactic? Something feels very off in that space which was pretty boring and benign before

I think this account is engaging in deliberate outrage farming, as compared to actual measured discussion, and I suggest blocking it.

Here are the issues with what they are saying.

A screenshot of a post from AltYellostoneNatPar, @altyellonatpark.org‬, saying:

Every Democrat in orifice should be filing multiple legal actions against every EO coming out out of that clowns mouth.

Why leave it up to the public ?
Why let any of it slide ?

Have you been asked, as a federal worker, to do something you don't want to do? But they won't put it in writing?

DON'T DO IT.

If they're going to punish you? MAKE THEM PUT IT IN WRITING. ALL OF IT.

Document, document, document.

Act confused. Be confused! Go slow. Require clarity. Lots. Document

ahem

From Wash Post reporter: "A federal worker sent me audio of a call that HR did today with staff about "deferred resignation" agreements offered by DOGE ... I think this is pretty well understood by now but helps confirm what many suspect

The audio goes:

Employee: Lets say I accept the agreement tomorrow - you were to rescind the agreement and they were to stop paying me on Friday ... we would have no recourse available?

HR official: Yes ... as the agreement is outlined that is absolutely correct"

What I’ve learned from being taught Black history from childhood is that It Did Happen Here. Not only have Black people lived under fascist structures for the vast majority of US history, but the Confederacy was the forerunner of fascist ideology and antidemocratic efforts before Europe tried.

I don't know how this ends, but it's now abundantly clear that It Could Happen Here.

I'll never get over the craven blind-eyeing and preemptive supplication from people, groups, and institutions who ought to know better.

I hope voters bail us out. But we've been tested. And too many have failed.

Trump claims his tariff pause is the result of concessions from Canada and Mexico on border enforcement.

But many of these so-called "concessions" are policies both countries were already doing (or planning to do) before he took office.

Some dealmaker, huh?

Analysis | Did Trump cave on his Canada and Mexico tariffs?

Some of the purported concessions that led to a 30-day pause on the tariffs were things Canada and Mexico had already done before Trump’s threat, but it’s complicated.
