This is my favorite climate change chart. Japanese monks, aristocrats, and emperors kept meticulous records of cherry blossom festivals for 1,200 years and accidentally built the world's longest climate dataset.

Via friend in MN: “…every three or four blocks tonight there's a gathering of a half dozen or a hundred people holding a vigil, strengthening neighborhood connections, singing, crying... two out of every three passing cars honking or yelling in support... The whole damn city is going to fight this.”

This was Alex Pretti at work at the VA honoring a veteran who had passed. This is who they're trying to falsely smear as a terrorist and assassin.

it’s cool that expedition 33 takes inspiration from one of the biggest gut punches in the history of video games and then says “ok let’s run it back and make it feel ten times worse”

I wanted to write about ICE and CBP terrorizing my friends and in the process ended up talking about how suck I am of these guys defining what America is, because this is the opposite of how we learned to be Americans growing up in Minnesota

Anyway it would be cool if the left was willing to organize around women’s liberation, because the right is definitely organizing around misogynist contempt.

over at @theatlantic.com, they let me write about how Heat is just a regular-type romance movie. here’s a guest link www.theatlantic.com/culture/2025...

'THE SUN RISES AND SETS WITH HER, MAN'
The director Michael Mann isn't thought of as a romantic but the men of Heat, which turns 30 today, are fueled by their relationships.

Every so often you work on a story and there’s like a giddy feeling you can hardly contain because you all know it’s just an absolute heater. That feeling is something I’ll be chasing for the the rest of my life. Glad to finally be able to share this one with the world.

I’m constantly shocked and horrified how much anti-trans views are accepted, even by those that would not say the same thing about another marginalized group. And I think it’s telling. It ties into misogyny and gender equality and shows just how far behind we are in those areas too.

hey, i made a terrible comic instead of working #makeaterriblecomicday2025

panel 1: a person is pointing on a bed where cats are lying in a way that leaves a vaguely human outline in the middle, saying "this is my hole!! it was made for me!!
panel 2: a twisted shape of a person lies on the bed, screaling silently as the cats sleep peacefully in random positions

It’s kind of funny? ironic? that Project 2025’s main thesis is “We need a King!” but now Trump is making one of the largest cases in the history of the modern world for why having a king is a bad idea.

We're all struggling right now. Collectively, our mental health isn't exactly great. But separate your catharsis and self-soothing from your *advocacy.* Think about what you're putting out into the public sphere, and be deliberate about venting/soothing in private. Not where we all can see it.

fundamentally this is what Trump administrations are all about: the guys. there will be new guys every week. they will startle you, you'll be astounded by them, and then as quickly as they appeared they will fade into an indistinguishable mass, leaves on the forest floor.
