iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

@stefanmilo.bsky.social Just watched your "bread loaf idol" video (excellent work, as usual ... thank you). Has anyone compared these to medieval "split tally sticks"? They were a fairly popular way of formalizing contracts by breaking a stick so that each party to the agreement could keep half.

This seems like a wonderful gesture. At least some 15 US scientists will be able to continue their work. It's not many, compared to the harm Trump is doing, but if more of this comes from other institutions it should mitigate some harm.

Y'all give Tony some feedback on this, please. I'm hoping to benefit from the answers he gets.

We've created a tracker that covers all executive orders affecting LGBTQ folks along with federal and state legislation. We're at 334 anti-LGBTQ bills. docs.google.com/spreadsheets... Credit @alli.gay @erininthemorning.com @evanurquhart.bsky.social @miralazine.bsky.social @lizsaila.bsky.social

A screenshot of a multi‐column table listing several U.S. presidential Executive Orders relating to LGBTQ+ rights and antidiscrimination policies. Each row has columns for “Origin” (POTUS), “Number/Identifier” (e.g., EO 13988), “Title” (such as Preventing and Combating Discrimination…), “Action Type” (e.g., Broad Nondiscrimination, Military Nondiscrimination), “Summary” (key points of each order), and “Date Signed.” The listed orders span from early 2021 through early 2025, covering topics like preventing discrimination based on gender identity or sexual orientation, banning conversion therapy, rescinding prior harmful EOs, and restricting or expanding DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) initiatives.

A spreadsheet at the top shows columns tracking anti‐LGBTQ bills by status and year: total bills (334), 2025 bills (327), 2024 rollovers (7), how many passed committees (3), passed one chamber (5), passed both chambers (0), enacted (1), vetoed (0), failed (3), and carried forward (0). Below that, another header row lists different types of anti‐LGBTQ legislation (e.g., gender‐affirming care bans, pronoun bans, “Don’t Say Gay,” drag bans, bathroom bans) with the total count of each category (e.g., 55 for gender‐affirming care bans, 20 for pronoun bans, 14 for “Don’t Say Gay,” etc.). A color‐coded U.S. map spans the lower half, with states shaded from light orange to deep red according to how many anti‐LGBTQ bills they contain. Texas appears in the darkest red (46 bills), with lighter shades indicating fewer bills in other states. A note at the bottom right explains that the map shows total tracked bills per state, which does not necessarily reflect each bill’s likelihood of passage.

I very much enjoyed this. Maybe you will, too. What do we owe each other? youtu.be/xWfHyEyRXcU?...

I want to remind everyone that your local library is both physical AND digital. You hate streaming everything because the price is ridiculous? Library. You hate ads because they're every 3 mins or less? Library. You want to reduce your digital footprint? Library. You want sourced info? Library.

This, this, this, one thousand times this. And - this paved road wasn't necessary for humans to travel through the forest. It became necessary for humans to GO FAST through the forest. Cars kill everything.

We've got to be ready to push back, HARD. The way I see it, our best path forward is to thrash them in 2026. Take the House. Take the Senate. Until then, no rest for any of them. Rs must be opposed and Ds must be flogged into action. If you're more progressive than your local Dems: Run. For. Office!

We wanted to understand what’s going on in South Korea. So we talked to three Joe Rogan listeners at an Arby’s in Harrisburg

"But despite claims to be 'pro-life,' anti-abortion activists do not care. "Instead, they are on Twitter griping about how comprehensive reproductive health care access 'promotes sexual promiscuity.'" www.salon.com/2024/12/02/d...

Republicans don't care if women die from abortion bans — but they don't want you to know about it

Women will keep dying, but the GOP is working hard to destroy the evidence

I'm very interested in this research. "Screw" technology isn't unheard-of in the middle ages. Medieval folks were using this technology to pump water, for armor attachments, and a host of other applications. But wood screws for construction? I haven't heard of that. Look at that shank! Looks modern!

It is exhausting having to research and figure out everything from black plastics to best ventilation practices to COVID vaccine schedules, I know this is a wild idea but have we thought about creating publicly funded government bodies that could manage and regulate this stuff on our behalf

This thread fascinated me. An evocative journey through the mystery of someone else's history.

In the next two days, the House will vote again on H.R. 9495 -- the nightmarish bill that would give Trump unchecked power to target nonprofits that stand in the way of his authoritarian agenda. indivisible.org/resource/tel...
