If you are too young to remember Surya, she was a fucking ICON. The only person in history to do a BACKFLIP with a SPLIT ON THE AIR, which she’d land ON ONE FOOT
Of course she wasn’t properly appreciated in her time because racism.

The Target situation is like a microcosmic example of the US tariff initiative. People thought they needed Target, until the boycott. Now they’ve found ways around it and don’t wanna go back. Other countries are now realizing they don’t need the big superpower USA and are adjusting accordingly.

VA Gov. Spanberger (moderate, was in CIA) and NYC Mayor Mamdani (left, is in DSA) both taking steps to block local law enforcement from helping ICE as it violently violates people's rights is a good example of how the relevant divide in the Dem coalition isn't center-left, it's fight-don't fight.

Let’s make it viral folks. Thank you @histoftech.bsky.social.
No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.
Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.

Being disgusted at 55-year-old men running around with 14-year old girls is NOT a moral panic. It’s having a basic sense of morals.

I think so much of what is happening right now is spiritual.
It reminds me of that old saying, "You either gonna pay on the front end or the back end but best believe you gon' pay."

I like to quickly check quotes that sound too perfect. But sometimes, someone just says the absolutely right thing.
“Whatever may have been my political opinions before, I have but one sentiment now: that is, we have a government, and laws, and a flag, and they must all be sustained. There are but two parties now: traitors and patriots. And I want hereafter to be ranked with the latter.” - Ulysses S. Grant

Remember like 15 years ago, when Russian dash cams of horrible accidents went viral? And everyone in Russia was using them because they couldn’t trust the authorities? Fundamentally, the dash cam and the body cam are the visual record of a failed state. They are a symptom posing as a substitute

Do you remember when people were saying "I think my phone is listening to me, i'm getting ads for stuff I spoke about" and people said "They arent listening to you, they're just this good at predicting your interests"?
Well, it happens they were doing exactly that.

My hot take about the “students cannot read whole novels / watch whole films / etc.” is that they can learn to do it. None of us are born with attention spans suited for long media. It is a learned skill and can be developed with practice.

lol I am soooooooooo tempted to write an essay about how this current season of Bridgerton makes a case for why "the help" is the backbone of any elite society.
And how at a moment's notice, if folks go elsewhere, everything crumbles.

This is like the person that tried to tell me Jesus wouldn't believe in free school lunches. Baby I'm a heathen and I still remember the story of loaves and fishes.
I may have a stroke.
Someone said protests don’t belong in church and it took every ounce of self-censure within me not to say “Deborah you are literally a Protestant.”
A PROTESTant.
I assume they think Luther was nailing Bed, Bath, & Beyond coupons to the door.
