finally shut down 1password, sent the email, got the same form letter response even though I pointed out that it doesn't matter if they're supporting "the organization, not its founder", the organization exists to advance its founder's beliefs. at least I know it got filed under that macro

The @newyorker.com made a case for the Iraq invasion after publishing fake news linking Saddam to 9/11, then supported the long failed counterinsurgency war in Afghanistan. Only tepidly backed the JCPOA. Keep all this in mind as BlueSky debates who is dumb and who is smart about U.S. foreign policy

I think this was ultimately the right move.

Tremendously moving rally. Here a mother of a trans child shouts up at the Mount Sinai building. Folks handed out flyers saying: Email and call Mount Sinai to let them know the community rejects their bowing to Trump's DOJ. MSHPatientRelations@mountsinai.org 212-659-8990

Mother of a trans child shouts, pointing upward. She's holding a sign that says "PROTECT TRANS" in glitter ("YOUTH" is the next word, but not visible in this photo. Banner behind her says "RISE UP FOR TRANS YOUTH."

Gender-affirming care saves lives, respects the rights of patients, and reflects that healthcare is supposed to be between providers and patients, not between providers and the Trump Administration. (1/3)

Mount Sinai reaches deal with Trump DOJ to end gender-affirming care for minors

Mount Sinai is the latest in a string of U.S. hospitals to reach similar agreements with the Trump administration.

You know, honestly, more than monetary donations, if somebody worked at a company that had access to a lot of 18 terabyte and larger hard drives and could talk to us, that's where we are really suffering. The internet archive has no special priority in buying hard drives and those things are insane.

blogging is back, baby. after 14 years, @bhoggard.bsky.social just posted again on bloggy.com, an Artifacts interview with Kate Valk: bloggy.com/posts/kate-v... scroll just a couple of posts down, and there's this 2011 post of a book inscription Che Guevara:

Screenshot of a mar 10, 2011 post, book inscription by che guevara, on bloggy.com:
From the New York Times obituary of Alberto Granado, who accompanied Che Guevara on his motorcycle journey around South America.

Before Che left Cuba in 1965 to pursue revolutions abroad, he left several books with inscriptions for close friends. They included one about the sugar industry for Mr. Granado.
The inscription was prescient.
“My dreams shall know no bounds, at least until bullets decide otherwise,” wrote Che, who was captured and killed in Bolivia in 1967. “I’ll be expecting you, sedentary gypsy, when the smell of gunpowder subsides. A hug for all of you. Che.”

Mount Sinai is failing trans patients and capitulating to Trump. Trump will stop at nothing to erase trans people from public life and deny youth essential healthcare. But in NY, trans patients are protected by state law. We must fight for their rights, not cower in fear.

Ceasefire is one word, without a hyphen as a noun or adjective. The verb form is cease fire. Do not refer to ceasefires as peace deals or peace agreements, as that would imply a lasting resolution to the conflicts.

So yes, we let our kid wear shirts that says "Punch Nazis" and "Melt ICE" and "We Fund Abortion". Our only rule is that she can hold a conversation about what she's wearing. Knowledge isn't scary, it's empowering. And I'm thrilled she can share that.
