'Tis the season of New Year's resolutions! But, if you, like me, are guessing that 2026 will be full of uncertainty and disruption I'd offer a slight twist. Think about how, in the year to come, you can invest in your coping capacity.

Can't believe the billionaires looked at the internet and was like "you know what this place needs? more noise to drown out the signal"
and then got everyone they knew to put all their dollars on the signal-drowning machine.

I listened to this earlier today and I was grateful by the wisdom shared by everyone on the panel including Andrea.
If you need something today to help you think through resistance within, against & beyond the state in this moment & to inspire you to move from the fierce fire of love to hurl visions & practices of liberation into the present & future listen to Paula X Rojas here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ud7...

Em dashes are prevalent in professional writing and LLMs were largely trained on stolen professional writing, therefore LLMs use em dashes. In the name of God, stop talking like Skynet has its own house style.

If you voted for Allison Riggs in the 2024 NC election check here to see if your ballot is being challenged. If so, then you have 15 business days from whenever they mail the notices to cure your ballot, but best to check now & cure yours as soon as possible, even if this ruling might get overturned
The Griffin List
A list of 60,273 North Carolina voters – these are registered voters who showed ID to

Despite coming from NYT, this is one of the most comforting and galvanizing things I've seen in the last few weeks.
From @ezrakleinbot.bsky.social. "If you’re always consumed by the next outrage, you can’t look closely at the last one. The impression of Trump’s power remains; the fact that he keeps stepping on rakes is missed. The projection of strength obscures the reality of weakness. Don’t believe him."

Actually, this is important enough to bring out of replies to the top level: if you're in the US and active on social media, and ESPECIALLY politically active, this is a simple step you can take to mitigate the possibility of legal action against you destroying your life.
(And a lot of those "ways it could be improved" are things ordinary people can defend themselves against: I strongly recommend everyone have an umbrella rider on their home/renters insurance that covers defamation liability, for instance, which can make a WORLD of difference)

Hey, so if you’d rather just see most recent replies to skeets it’s pretty easy: you’ll go to Content and Media and change the setting back to “Newest replies first," because it defaults to this new “hotness” thing.
