Not sure I'm on board with Team Carney's strategy of flattering and sucking up to the demented fascist would-be dictator of the USA while trying to forge trade and defense agreements with his coterie of oathbreaking treason enthusiasts.

I got a feelin' these folks may not be entirely trustworthy!

THE TENTH LEVEL was a made-for-TV drama, 50 years ago, starring William Shatner in one of his most powerful performances ever. It was inspired by the Stanley Milgram obedience research experiments, which studied the willingness to “just follow orders.” youtu.be/wzV_Z6EXhpE

The idea that any of this really means anything anymore, except that the liberal international order has been sublimated to the influence of the global far right, is naive or at best uninformed.

I wanted to get a video of this ghost crab but every time I got close to their hole they scuttled back in, so I tried getting clever with it. I made a little sandcastle and shoved my phone into it, hit record, and walked away. Crab was VERY suspicious of this addition to their environment.

This week in 1988: 1,000+ ACT UP demonstrators shut down the FDA headquarters, demanding (and eventually winning) action on developing HIV/AIDS treatments. ACT UP's militant and creative actions always included powerful visual artwork, and paved the way for movements in the decades to come.

A photograph from the 1988 ACT UP demonstration outside the FDA. Many people are participating in a die-in on the front steps, holding mock tombstones with messages like "RIP - killed by the FDA" and "Dead from lack of drugs." A line of police officers (some with classic 80s mustaches) wearing riot helmets stands between them and the building; one cop wearing white gloves is walking through the demonstrators. Affixed to the 2nd story windows of the building is a series of posters and a large blank banner reading Silence = Death.

If you can't come out right now, please don't hate yourself.
One day, the meaning of labels will disappear.

Please love yourself as you are.
The one who can cherish yourself the most is yourself.
Because that is your strength and beauty.
Chiitan loves you

TIL our regional transit system has a bear mascot which is fun but also they made a video where someone had to wear the costume next to a fire while pretending to read, drink, sleep, and even knit FOR AN HOUR and I don't know why this exists but I love that it does

Seattle's dreadful mayor just suggested we make a computer-generated Dr. Martin Luther King, and of any question he could ask it, THIS was the first thing that came to mind:

Erica C. Barnett @ericacbarnett.bsky.social · 2d

"And you could say, Well, Dr. Martin Luther King, I've always wanted to meet you. What was your day like today? What did you have for breakfast? And he comes back and he talks to you. How cool would that be if we have a series of historical figures that we all could agree on, that we respect?"

There will be nothing left of government but the cult leader and his gestapo.

And Americans just sit there and watch it happen.

Mind-blowing.
