Screenshot of a tweet by former NYC mayor Bill de Blasio. It's a photo of de Blasio wearing a bright-blue "Hot Girls for Zohran" T-shirt and smiling while looking into the sun next to a brick wall with a "vote here" sign taped to it. The main text of the tweet reads: One of the happiest votes I ever cast! What a beautiful day for NYC! sun emoji. at zohran k mamdani at hot girls four zohran.

Tonight, in Chicago, North Side rapid responders and community members held a vigil. At least ten people were abducted by ICE in Rogers Park alone today. We uplifted the message RESIST ICE in lights. We spoke out, sang together, grieved, and reaffirmed our commitment to defending our neighbors.

Protesters hold lighted signs that say RESIST ICE on a elevated train platform in Chicago.

Atena Danner, a Black woman poet, speaks into a microphone in front of protesters holding lighted signs that spell the word "RESIST."

I was really pleased with how the main photo from the Fenway Health protest on Saturday came out.

Ideally, I'd just be a writer and not do images or videos, but in this day and age you kinda have to be willing to do a little of everything.

I'm from Trinidad & Tobago. I can't tell you how many horrible things have been going on here since we elected a Trump friendly government in Apr via low voter turnout, as happened in the US.

But today, after having us under a State of Emergency for months, they've called out all armed forces. 1/3

And this after they spent $70k on an executive coach two months ago. Money well spent.

The East Wing Desecrators

Given the extraordinary and unprecedented destruction of the entire East Wing, built in 1942 for the Office of the First Lady, it’s important to note who enabled this.

In this thread, I run through the companies and organizations involved and provide contact info.

Go Dodgers.

"After the absolute verbal abuse I took while quickly and quietly walking back to my car last night in Toronto from Blue Jays fans I'll be rooting for the Dodgers. I dislike the Dodgers and had planned to enthusiastically root for the Jays but the Blue Jays made very clear they hate us (or, if I misunderstood, they really badly want to make love to us) and don't want our support."

omg, MLB just showed an anti-tariff ad featuring a long VO from Ronald Reagan. The ad was put up by the Province of Ontario. *BLAM*

Personally, I enjoyed writing my course syllabi as raw HTML which I could SCP down the hall to a Linux box named after a Tolkien sword and running an infrequently-patched Apache server. In that context, my neckbeard contrarian educator opinion is: "Canvas is pretty good by comparison" 🎢

Very few examples of "This could have been a headline from The Onion!" actually feel like they could have been from the Onion, but I do think this one qualifies.

Clearly the only solution is to start stealing second anytime someone gets on first, to remove the likeliest double play?
