Love doesn't just sit there, like a stone, it has to be made, like bread; remade all the time, made new.

Going back through DMs, we first spoke May 31st. I told her I was actively in cancer treatment and couldn't work or engage. By June 2nd she was pitching for herself. By the 6th she found a publisher and explained why, although in process of a PhD myself, I didn't qualify as a co-author. One week.

Sorry but I am FED UP with this happening repeatedly. @mariascott.bsky.social found out I had made a significant discovery in French history and initially encouraged me to publish. I explained I was going through cancer treatment but intended to. She then decided to steal my work & publish herself.

Mamdani: I am in support of abolishing ICE… I'm tired of waking up every day and seeing a new image of someone being dragged out of a car, dragged out of their home, dragged out of their life.

can you think of a reason i might have different expectations of mamdani and schumer. just shout em out. any one reason

The pivot from "Mamdani is a political genius for focusing his message almost entirely on affordability" to "Schumer is a political moron for focusing his message almost entirely on affordability" is odd.

FuLoon in Malden, MA. Boston does not lack for great Sichuan food, but FuLoon was extra special. Everything was incredible, but the bang bang chicken, yu hsiang eggplant, hot and sour Mandarin cabbage, and tofu skin knots with pork were standouts.

my bucket is fuck Schumer
adamkeiper.com Adam Keiper @adamkeiper.com · 1d
NEW: In this interview, Chuck Schumer describes the "five buckets" Dems think are key to their possibly winning a Senate majority in 2026: housing, "the high price of food [and] food monopolies playing a major role there," electricity, "the high cost of childcare," and health care.
Zero Chucks Left to Give
Chuck Schumer now sees a path back to the majority. Can he manage his way through it?

It's been six months since the last round. This company hasn't known what it's doing for a long time, and getting rid of the DEI team screams it's about to be sold off. Solidarity to my former colleagues forever 🌺
voxmediaunion.bsky.social Vox Media Union @voxmediaunion.bsky.social · 4d
Another year, another round of layoffs at Vox Media. In solidarity with our laid-off colleagues, here is our full statement:
Today, Friday, January 16, 2026, the Vox Media Union received news from management about more layoffs at the company: three in-unit workers from PopSugar, two from The Verge, and three from Eater — not including a number of out-of-unit employees — some of whom were on parental and other types of company-approved leave. Beyond this, the company announced that it will no longer have a centralized Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI+) team, redistributing that work across the People team and leadership, and keeping Employee Resource Groups as simply Slack spaces without formal lead roles or any standalone budgets. There is almost no further room to be shocked at these developments, as the company has laid off workers at an average of once per quarter in the last year, but we continue to be disgusted by the fact that leadership seems to have developed no real learning or commitment to workforce sustainability and retention. Those at the top remain safe in their positions while mercilessly cutting off those who work day in and day out (and then some) to make sure that essential, business-critical work is done. Our indispensable colleagues are now in extra vulnerable positions, having to navigate workplace bureaucracy alongside a volatile job market and relentless threats to the integrity of journalism as a whole. This union is proud to have rallied in multiple rounds of contract bargaining to ensure more equitable worker rights and protections in the face of management incompetence. As always, we, along with our Guild reps, will continue to demand that members are treated fairly in the aftermath of layoffs. Details on how you can support laid-off workers at Vox Media will be forthcoming. Please follow the Vox Media Union on Instagram (@voxmediaunion) and Bluesky (@voxunion.bsky.social). Solidarity forever. The Vox Media Union Committees Writers Guild of America East, AFL-CIO

A very important thing for you to know about Icelandic is that the word "rassgat" (butthole) is used as an endearment about cute things. So if you say someone is "algjört rassgat" (a total butthole) it means they are VERY cute. If the cuteness is overwhelming we say "rúsínurassgat" (raisin asshole).

153 Democrats just joined 188 Republicans to pass HR 7006, which
•Sends $3.3B to Israel (including offensive weapons)
•Bans any attempt at Palestinian liberation
•Sends $50M to Venezuela

Only 57 Democrats voted no.

January 15, 2026 at 5:08 PM Reid Forgrave ICE agents eat at small-town Mexican restaurant — then arrest workers Federal agents detained three workers from a family-owned Mexican restaurant in Willmar yesterday, hours after four agents ate lunch there. It was not immediately clear what the immigration status of those detained was, or whether the people detained included the restaurant’s owners or only workers. An eyewitness who declined to give a name for fear of retribution, told the Minnesota Star Tribune that four ICE agents sat in a booth for a meal at El Tapatio a little before 3 p.m. Staff at the restaurant were frightened, said the eyewitness, who shared pictures from the restaurant as well as video of the arrest. The arrest happened around 8:30 p.m. near a Lutheran church and Willmar Middle School as agents followed the workers after they closed up for the night. A handful of bystanders blew whistles and shouted at agents as they detained the people. “Would your mama be proud of you right now?” one of the bystanders asked.

Hats off to whoever did this (and the beautiful model).
One of those captcha things. This one says ‘select all images with bicycles. Click verify once there are none left’. There are 9 squares - 4 contain photos of bicycle seats, with the remaining 5 showing the beautiful head and face of a grey greyhound with a white stripe going from the top of their head to the tip of their nose.
