every billionaire & tech mogul, they all want to be adored & celebrated without doing the things Dolly did with a fraction of the power & money. What she had, she gave away. I'm sure she was comfortable (& that's good!). But she just relentlessly helped. It's not that difficult. Love. Care. Help. 💚🌸

The Trump administration's view of paperwork and conditions is the more, the better, real-life consequences be damned. They're neither shrinking government nor making it more efficient; they're making it *worse.* ICYMI @jilldlawrence.bsky.social:

Trump Is Making Government Worse on Purpose

Instead of seeking to simplify and improve citizens’ lives, this administration keeps creating new obstacles and burdens.

In chemistry, a supersaturated solution is one where you've kept adding a solute to a liquid beyond where the liquid can dissolve everything. All it takes is a nucleation site / seed crystal for the solution to rapidly (sometimes violently) crystalize. Unrelatedly, the US has more guns than people.

That awkward moment at a sports game where the hype song isn’t turned off before the explicit lyrics begin. And yet, dear readers, I seem to be the only person that reacted at all when the bridge of Boom Boom Boom by the Outhere Brothers blasted across the field.

Remember how in Schwarzenegger’s version of the Running Man, the story begins when the military is deployed to California? And Ben is ordered to open fire on starving people in the Bakersfield food riots? What a crazy, unrealistic dystopia, right? Anyway, the Running Man remake is coming out soon.

“Someday, I hope, we’re going to have a reckoning over the horrors of this moment, but I don’t think we can do it without a clearer understanding of how this fits into U.S. history. There’s a tendency to say, “This isn’t who we are,” and I get the impulse, but history is never that simple.”

We finally have the State Department Human Rights reports 6 months late, and it's hard to overstate how bad they are. These will get people killed. Specifically, women and LGBTQ folks have just been written out of these reports. Good luck applying for asylum... www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

One man cannot, overnight, change a fact as written in thousands of copies of hundreds of different books across the world's libraries. But under pressure from the politicians or guided by his own depravity, he can rewrite history overnight by altering the output of the LLM he owns.

When I was little, the U.S. military came to our home at gunpoint and took me and my family away. We were imprisoned for years in barbed wire camps simply because we were Japanese American. I have spent my life telling that story, hoping it would never be repeated.

it is going to take so much love and kindness to deal with the amount of hate and violence we are going to experience. we need to be as sweet with each other as we are brutal with them. we need to have as much love for each other as we have hate for the fascists. together is the only way.

Dismantling our collective social obligation to care for one another to fund the gestapo and tax cuts for the rich isn't just a moral failure: It will ultimately hurt everyone, incuding those self-same rich people who are about to find out how much the safety net affects their daily lives.

The administration got rid of 18F under the cover of night. People who own skyscrapers are afraid of 100 people who make websites. Not because of the latest tech fad, but because we proved the government can be fixed, the government can be made better and the government can work for the people.

Rousseau would have been a great blogger I think.

It will be said that a despot gives his subjects the assurance of civil tranquillity. Very well, but what does it profit them, if those wars against other powers which result from a despot's ambition, if his insatiable greed, and the oppressive demands of his administration, cause more desolation than civil strife would cause? What do the people gain if their very condition of civil tranquillity is one of their hardships? There is peace in dungeons, but is that enough to make dungeons desirable?
The Greeks lived in peace in the cave of Cyclops awaiting their turn to be devoured.
