Call your Senators now, especially if they are mentioned in this clipping from earlier in the week.

5calls.org/issue/federa...
There are eight Democrats in the gang, enough to break a filibuster on a funding bill. They are: Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH), Jon Ossoff (D-GA), Gary Peters (D-MI), Mark Kelly (D-AZ), Maggie Hassan (D-NH), Peter Welch (D-VT), Tammy Baldwin (D-WI), and Elissa Slotkin (D-MI). Shaheen, Ossoff, Peters, and Baldwin are on the Appropriations Committee, and therefore the most invested in getting a deal with their fingerprints on it. Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) isn't involved in this bargain, but he's not exactly discouraging it either.

Felt like a few hundred people gathered today in Stockholm.
#NoKings
#NoDictators
#NoTyrants
Hundreds of people gathered in sunny Raoul Wallenbergs torg in Stockholm, some holding protest signs, listening to pro-democracy speakers. A young woman addresses protesters gathered in Raoul Wallenbergs torg in Stockholm. One of the visible protest signs reads, “No tyrants, no dictators, no fascism, no hate”. A older man addresses protesters gathered in Raoul Wallenbergs torg in Stockholm. One of the visible protest signs reads, “Democracy does not fear protest dictators do”. A middle-aged man wearing a blue “ICE out of LA” t-shirt addresses protesters gathered in Raoul Wallenbergs torg in Stockholm.

I literally just finished a re-read this week, listening to the audiobook for the first time as I went back though it!
Copy of “Because Internet” opened to the dedication page which reads, “To the people who make Internet language. You are the territory, this is merely a map.” Below this is a yellow bookplate sticker with “Because” in the title design, and a handwritten “Stephen” underneath, followed by the author’s signature.

Ten years ago today, I started a new job. I knew it was special, but I had no idea how much it would teach, shape, and move me.

Miss you, Tweeps.

Hell, yes! That record was in heavy rotation when I started working at my college radio station. I wore out my own cassette of this one and their debut.

Bought these when they came through town later that year:

Fun fact:

Today I discovered the cross pictured in Entombed’s “Left Hand Path” album is a roundtrip run of 6.66km from our house.
