Knowing that you're being too stubborn for your own good but not being able to stop yourself from being stubborn in the moment is the sort of curse Athena would bestow.

There is a trend on social media to include that loud CO2 alarm beep in videos, and every time it happens, my pup gets up or wakes up in a panic like we need to leave immediately.

The most crazy part of this is when I see folks not in the industry say workers deserved to be laid off because they suck. This industry is competitive. If you're bad at your job, you will wash out long before layoffs and be replaced with the next competent person in line. Unless you're an exec...

If you were someone pinging critics with ‘it’s just lighting cleanup’ a few days ago, I need you to use this as a jumping off point to thinking about your susceptibility to talking points and marketing rhetoric more generally. It was right there in front of all of our faces.

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.” That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

Completely insane. AltNPS claimed to know the name of Alex Pretti's killer, refused to say it because "the truth always comes out," and then just deleted the post. A man was executed on the street in my hometown, and AltNPS is using that as an excuse to vaguepost for attention.

🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional! ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.
The Gravamen of the Disclosure

4. The gravamen of the disclosure is as follows: 
a. By memorandum dated May 12, 2025 (“the May 12 Memo”), Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons authorizes ICE agents to forcibly enter into certain people’s homes without a judicial warrant, consent, or an emergency.

b. Specifically, in the May 12 Memo, the Acting ICE Director authorized ICE Agents to rely on Form I-205 (which is not a judicial warrant) to enter the residence of an alien subject to a final order of deportation, without consent, including by “a necessary and reasonable amount of force.”2c. While addressed to “All ICE Personnel,” in practice the May 12 Memo has not been formally distributed to all personnel. Instead, the May 12 Memo has been provided to select DHS officials who are then directed to verbally brief the new policy for action. Those supervisors then show the Memo to some employees, like our clients, and direct them to read the Memo and return it to the supervisor.

a reminder, again, that AltNPS is a grifter account run by people who have no affiliation with the National Park Service and indeed who never did have any affiliation with the National Park Service. They have no sources, they have no information, they are purely there to scam you.

Last night I dreamt that I made a mtg deck with a combo that was outside my normal playstyle. It was awesome, and then when I woke up and remembered this dream, I tried to look up cards to see if they were real and if the combo was doable. Nope, my brain invented cards for a combo I can't remember.

Oh the FSAs. The FSAs where you have to pay and get reimbursed. So you're paying twice. And have to keep track of receipts and take time to apply. And assume you'll get the reimbursement from the federal offices they gutted. And the reimbursement doesn't include the taxes you paid. Those FSAs?
