Lost, but trying to get home, guided by principles, coffee, and a very expressive bun.
Frankenstein was a good movie.

It was ruined by having a Byron quote at the end, rather than a direct quote from Shelley or her work.

And I hate that Byron is being given credit for inspiring within Shelley the idea for Frankenstein.

Congratulations, people of planet Earth! We've done it! We've reached an irreversible tipping point: 99% of ALL CORAL WILL DIE. Period. Even if we fix everything, there's no turning back for the Coral.

Think about what that means, forest for the trees.

Everyone, if you haven't yet, watch the archival footage of Fred Rogers procuring funding for PBS from Congress.

You mean my degrees are actually useful?! Yesssss!

English and Sociocultural Anthropology for the win!
Decades of mechanistic talk about university degrees as if they were bundles of 'skills' and 'prep' are about to be proved completely wrong (obviously). Want to get a real boost? Do History or English.

Y'all, I might die.

I dropped a sliver of chocolate on my phone. I licked it off. Idk why, bc my phone is definitely germ city (didn't sanitize it after work) and now I'm going to die.

Also, I wiped the chocolate off my tongue.

I'm going to die, now.

The coolest thing I’ve seen today is that a bunch of volunteer public health professionals and developers have restored the CDC website from before January 20th 2025.

This differs from an archive in that they want to rebuild the links between pages and replicate the full website.

Selection of German headlines this morning:

“It’s now the law of the jungle”

“The former leading power of the West can no longer be relied upon.”

“Now it's up to the Europeans”

“The worst case is now the new normal”

“The free world needs a new leader”

Words mean little, actions say it all.

So, a governor said some things and might run for potus if we still exist in 2028. Frankly, it's asinine to be settling in for next time, rather THAN DOING SOMETHING NOW.

Seeing an unelected South African billionaire in the Oval Office giving a briefing next to the mute and demented US President is jarring to say the least…

They are pulling back the curtain to let us all know who is in charge.

On Friday night, the Trump administration declared war on American universities and hospitals. You've probably heard why this matters for medical researchers funded by the NIH. But it also matters for everyone who has any connection to our universities—employees, students, and patients. (1/6)

I think an American flag created entirely by black men at the Superbowl is one of the best pieces of art I've seen in my lifetime. I hope it actually killed some folks. And I hope it finally closes the fucking book on the argument that we shouldn't use the flag to fight the God damned fascists.

The calm, unrelenting, industrial, yet not mechanical, movement of Kendrick Lamar's half-time show...it's a visual guide to what's required of us to #diss and #resist #fascism.

50 protests in 50 states, today! Just found out about it two hours ago.

Who's going?

I live in the Twin Cities area. Protest starts at St. Paul Technical College and marches to the Capitol.

I'm thinking since DOGE thieves have actually taken control of the system that pays out pretty much anything tax derived, it's time to #resist and #fightback by committing an act of #civildisobeience:
Ignore April 15, 2025.

If you sputter excuses...you're a selfish coward. Period.
