After a long day of travel, nothing better than taking a nice hot shower and slathering yourself with the hotel-provided lotion, only to realize after you're done that someone refilled the lotion holder w/conditioner and you're now completely sticky. 😭 #fail #travel @holidayinnexpress.bsky.social

Boy oh boy. The heads of people in J schools are probably spinning. I hope the next-gen journalists fight back.

A man was just chased and arrested outside of the Broadview ICE facility in Chicago. When legal observers from the National Lawyers Guild asked why, an agent threatened to arrest them too.

As a former Portlander myself, love that its motto is Keep Portland Weird. An essential part of fascism's project is to tell all of us how to look, whom to love, what to say, how to dress. Fuck that. Portland is too fabulous for fascism.

People are missing a big point about #Kimmel: #Nexstar and #Sinclair are still not showing it, the former because they still want that merger to go through, and the latter because they remain trash. Sure, ABC and Disney relented; but the main starter of this mess? Still happening. @maddow.msnbc.com
