Wonderfully written NY Times piece by a local dad involved in the resistance, really echoes with a lot of what we’re feeling: www.nytimes.com/2026/02/18/o... (gift link)

Thanks to @daraobriain.bsky.social, I was able to bridge the Atlantic divide today.

British colleagues, collectively: "Oh! Okay."

Almost everyone on the left will cheer for AI too! But the number of caveats to define which type of AI, how its models were generated, and how it will be used are just exhausting so it’s become shorthand to “Fuck AI.”

I can’t believe you lefty Luddites hate tech so much that you embrace mRNA vaccines, heat pumps, electric bikes, hybrid work, renewable power (and awesome advancements in storage), space telescopes, and hot/cold running water but reject the planet destroying plagiarism enrich the worst people bots!

I didn't mean to spend most of the last three hours blazing through a Type Help-alike (specifically @bushmonkey.bsky.social's game prior to Red Pearls of Borneo, thank you @kendraserra.bsky.social) but I guess it was better than obsessively refreshing stats on my cosplay video...

I continue to insist the *meta* discussion of trans rights is entirely a media-generated artifact driven by the fact that media elites do genuinely hate trans rights and are trying to do everything to kill it.
I am 100% sure that have been more articles about youth gender surgeries than actual youth gender surgeries in 2026. When is someone going to reckon with the fact that ‘pivoting’ on this issue means signing on to a moral panic?
Lakshya Jain and the Argument fled this website because they couldn't take the criticism and now he's advocating for Dems to abandon trans issues with polling about 'gender surgery for minors' a thing that is not real

HELLO, FRIENDS!

The women's shelter where I volunteer lost almost all of their art and craft supplies last year. I can't fix everything, but I have a big network here, and so do a lot of you, and I'm pretty sure that together, we can fix this.

I don't believe I've ever seen Ted Levine speak so candidly about his regrets of portraying Buffalo Bill in THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS. He and some of the crew on the film were asked about the film's cultural transphobia by The Hollywood Reporter.

I see someone talking about what Stancil is saying and they just say "Will."

Will is... an imperfect messenger for this subject (most people are, economics is hard!) but he's not "wrong" about the facts of this: You can do GOOD and 'lose' because what matters is people need to FEEL IT and that's all about vague vibes, media narratives and "my friend's uncle said," not facts
Biden was the most economically progressive president since LBJ at least, he pursued a full-employment economy at huge political risk, it worked spectacularly.

And what happened is that the entire progressive universe decided that he must not have done any of it, or else he would have been popular

#lawsky we need your help. The deluge of insane legal news is hard to keep up with and we could really use more senior level people willing to donate 3-5 hours a week editing profiles so we can build this out.

If you're willing, please reach out

I miss when you could post Brave Norman Rockwell Townsperson and the caption could be, like, “R.E.M was wrong to leave ‘Fretless’ off of Out of Time” instead of “The secret police should stop murdering people.”

It's easy to be concerned about vaccines when you stop being concerned about viruses. You can only stop being concerned about viruses in a world with vaccines.

You ever stop and think about CASABLANCA? You ever stop and think about "Welcome back to the fight, this time, I know our side will win?" You ever think about a bar full of people defiantly singing La Marseillaise, played by a soundstage full of Jewish refugees? You ever think about CASABLANCA??????

I've been working on a free, open source (FOSS) virtual tabletop program aimed at designers (using Godot). Over the last few months I've been focusing on component creation.

I'm looking for feedback and collaborators - please consider joining the team!
