You know what? I'm going to get a clickety clack dance party keyboard and switch to that when I'm not in meetings. You've inspired me.

You know what? I'm going to get a clickety clack dance party keyboard and switch to that when I'm not in meetings. You've inspired me.
I like it! I tried about a dozen different keyboards before landing on an Apple option. The ergonomics work best for me, and I needed to be able to type without muting my mic during meetings. But I'm jealous of folks with beautiful custom keyboards like this.
Robert Reich shared one of my posts and someone attached one of my favorite songs to it and this is probably where I peaked online. Think it's time to retire.
I like Bluesky and I like Threads, but I also like Coke and Pepsi so I might just be a weirdo.
That fucking toothpaste doesn't go back in the tube. They set a false, dangerous narrative and very few people on the right will read or believe the retraction.
Elizabeth Warren on people who say Dems needs to tone down their rhetoric: "Oh, please. Why don't you start with the president of the United States? And every ugly meme he's posted and every ugly word."
While we're all discussing how it's wrong to murder someone, let's not forget this:
I am just so goddamn sick and tired of Donald Trump.
Personally, I prefer tan suits to brownshirts.
trump can issue as many executive orders as he wants, perhaps coverage should reflect the fact that a lot of these have the legal force of a child's wishlist for santa
This is America. And this is all of us when we get those text alerts from their schools. My heart breaks for this parent and for every parent and child harmed by our absurd gun culture. The Republican party's refusal to allow meaningful gun legislation makes guns the leading cause of death for kids
It’s gotten to the point that I don’t even like sending my kids to school anymore. We don’t have to live like this.
If I'm reading this right, you can just walk into the pharmacy smoking a cigarette, even it's your first one. And after they yell at you and tell you to put it out you can get vaccinated because you are a current/former smoker. #MAHA!
Woohoo! I have enough health challenges to qualify for the life-saving vaccine this year... for now, until they change their minds about who gets it.
Love this for the landlord who will get the worst possible tenants with their fascist filter.
I will be an unpleasant ghost if I get an AI obit.
Godspeed, friend, both with the family emergency and the sleep. Push on through the fog.
Why don't you personally pay for the healthcare of millions of sick and dying people instead of hoarding wealth? And form a group of fellow billionaires to join you? Why don't you stop fucking around with Elon Musk, a Nazi who is trying to start a third political party that will never take off?
Chuck was my guy, the one who first got me into music. Then Ozzy was the guy who got me into heavy music. It's been a tough week. 🖤🖤 bsky.app/profile/nath...
Chuck Mangione was the person who first got me into music. I was obsessed with the album and song Feels So Good when I was 4 years old and started learning how to play trumpet that year. That was my gateway into a lifelong love of music. Rest easy, Chuck, and thanks for all the tunes.

I just cast my vote for Katie Wilson in the Seattle mayoral primary, and you should too! To learn more about her and the other great candidates, check out The Stranger's voting guide (link to the shorter "cheat sheet" below in case you're pressed for time): www.thestranger.com/stranger-ele...
Oh no. Trump just lost Q-Anon Shaman
What do you call reading Russian disinformation about a presidential candidate during a fucking White House press conference? Seems like giving aid to our enemies to me.
I wonder what caused Marco Rubio's soul to leave his body. Like specifically.
Trump puts on hotdog suit for the umpteenth time
"Everyone who disagrees with me is a bot."
If you have a list of groups of people who are disposable to you, and you're lecturing about moral righteousness, you might be a hypocritical asshole.
Fuck your economy if it's built on imprisoning people.
He's literally tearing parents and their kids apart and sending them to concentration camps. He doesn't get to have a peaceful family vacation again. Ever. And neither will many of his victims.
🤣🤣🤣
I had lunch there! A friend and I were driving from France to Austria and, being ignorant Americans, didn't know what Venezia was. We'd parked in a garage and boarded a water taxi before we figured out where we were. Most memorable pit stop of my life.
Back in the day, if Roger Ebert loved a movie I knew I would too. Now, if Ben Shapiro hates it I know I'll love it. Dff
Close your eyes and imagine the kind of person who made an AI that self identifies as Mecha Hitler, and who just decided to put this Nazi AI in "self driving" cars. I bet he looked like this, right?
Hell yes. Get it done.
Because being allowed to live as your true self is so much less important grammar. Rahm has all the charm of a mob hitman and it will be fun to watch him get immediately kicked to the curb in the primaries after wasting a bunch of centrist assholes' campaign donations.
AI John 3:16 "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have EV rebates for life."
Since they're ignoring all of the real threats it leaves a lot of resources available to violate the 4th amendment rights of their political opponents.
So glad you made it. And thank you, that was exactly the pep talk I needed. Yesterday was a terrible day. I wanted to give up, but I'm going to keep fighting.
Uh... no. It did not.
We have so many I'm going to have to open up a little stand and give them away to our neighbors.
The photographer: Beautiful. OK, now slouch. Nice. Your eyes look too alive. Can you make them look like you've just... given up? Amazing. OK, now I need to pop on the funhouse mirror lense to make you look like a toddler... and done. We got the shot!
"I'm fiscally conservative, but socially a Nazi" -Republicans
One of the things people love to throw out about Iran is that their secret police will grab you off the street into a van and disappear you for protesting. Who the fuck does that sound like.
Rewatched terminator 2 last night. Fun movie about AI leading to nuclear war and how the easiest way to kill someone is to dress up like a cop. Can't say its themes resonate today.
Purity tests scale badly. They might work in group chats. They kill coalitions.
The Christian fascist U.S. Supreme Court can get fucked.
This is who runs this account
I knew my relationship with my air fryer was too good to be true.
I'm partial to the Cascadia option, at least while fascists control every branch of the U.S. government.

Me, shouting across the creek: I don't think that word means what you think it means.
thread of photographs i took at my local protest (3) this trump supporter was the only counter-protestor i saw, and the police forced him to stand on the other side of a creek far away from the crowd of thousands — all alone, he helplessly kept trying to shout "you are the minority!"
Happy Father's Day to all the other luckiest guys in the world.
Goodnight America, goodnight team, goodnight squeaky tank Trump will hear in his dreams 🌙✨
Democracy dies in squeakiness
move to replace “you could’ve heard a pin drop” with “you could’ve heard a tank squeak” all in favor
This whole thread is great, but if you want to get a feel for the parade from a single post, this is the one:
*wavy inflatable tube man flaps furiously* YOU NEED BARRICADES WE GOT BARRICADES COME GET YOUR BARRICADES AT BARRICADE BARN
Incredible music choice. Also not a good cover of Fortunate Son. At all.
I know we joked about the death of irony but this is it. This is the day we've been preparing for. RIP, irony.
Two things are likely: this protest will be the largest in U.S. history, and Trump's fascist tank parade will get canceled due to bad weather. Meanwhile in Seattle it's going to be another beautiful day for Lime bikes, umbrellas, and mass protest. If there's a god she's on our side.
Kristi Noem entered the South Dakota Snow Queen pageant in 1990. She never exited.
I think it would be good to get some women in charge of the countries that have nuclear weapons. Women talk to each other. Women can be reasonable. Enough with the macho men and swinging dicks.
I'm still recovering from the infection that almost killed me 3 weeks ago. I can only stand and move around for a few hours right now, so I'm using those hours to protest in Seattle. And then I'm going to take a little nap. Have a great protest in Twin Peaks, Log Lady!
Nazis silence dissident for Nazi comparison.
LAPD’s Chief says they still have no idea what the military’s mission in LA is. There are no open deconfliction channels between the military and local law enforcement. Having multiple groups with weapons operating in the same area with no way to communicate is fucking insane.
For those who struggle with tinnitus, I do the head flicks in this video and get instant relief. The video says 20 times, but my doctor recommended doing it 50 times when symptoms are more severe. It's not a cure, but it helps! youtube.com/shorts/YyT9Z...
Why is crossing the border illegally a crime punishable with life in a torture dungeon and/or permanent separation from your children when rape and 42 counts of fraud are crimes punishable with nothing at all?
It is 100% carrying water for the opposition to participate in this collective delusion that Dems for some reason need to answer for every teen who throws a rock rather than hold the Trump admin accountable for intentionally creating chaos and breaking the law to stoke violence. They are in charge.
This is so good, man. Prescient and very well written.
There is a clear distinction between the two. The people protesting in LA are citizens exercising their rights and the people who stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6th are fucking traitors. Couldn't be less similar, really.
Making my signs for Saturday's NO KINGS protest today. Be brave, be safe, be peaceful, my friends. And show up in massive fucking numbers.
Hoping it's @pattonoswalt.bsky.social 🤞
When the singularity happens the AGI is going to make you pay for this insult by hacking the massaging bidet and seat temp. Gird your loins, John.
This is disgusting erasure of those of us who only have 6 dads. Do better.
When two Real Men® want to communicate they lay their penises one on t'other to speak phalocentrically.
The enemy of my enemy is a Nazi oligarch. I still wouldn't piss on Elon Musk if he was on fire.
Recovery has been slow and painful, and I've been completely avoiding politics and social media. So I was delighted to log back on and see that the space nazi and that orange abomination are going through a messy breakup.
Hey, I'm alive and back home from the hospital. After 5 trips to the ER over the past month with weird, painful symptoms that sometimes resembled a stroke they finally figured out that I had a serious fascial space infection. All of this was caused by poorly administered Botox for chronic migraine.
Oh wow, you and your mom really lived it! What are some of your favorite 80s movies? My top 10 in no particular order: Pump Up the Volume Back to the Future Raiders of the Lost Ark Ghostbusters The Goonies Real Genius The Never Ending Story The Secret of NIMH Flight of the Navigator Short Circuit
Well OK. Just diet coke, rape, and a wide variety of other felonies and treasons.
Can someone please put him back in his casket? He's scaring the children.
It seems like a great way to celebrate, right?
Live your life so the world isn't planning a dance party for the end of it.
@saramontourlewis.com was in charge of decorations and @nwbrownboi.bsky.social was coordinating transit to get everybody out to the venue on Whidbey Island. Then the dream jumped forward and hundreds of us were dancing in the woods because that glorious day had arrived, and 10/10, would dream again.
I was up until 3am with pain listening to the great The God of the Woods audiobook. Then I had a fun lucid dream: @deirdreassenza.bsky.social and I were camp counselors planning a woodsy outdoor prom for all of the Seattle area folks waiting to have a dance party on That Glorious Day When He Dies...
Happy almost birthday, John! I like this party. I nominate @saramontourlewis.com. She uses "art, education, and storytelling to highlight the magic of the Puget Sound watershed" and you can buy her cool prints and other great things at: www.ourwildpugetsound.com/store
I missed you after I bailed on Twitter. Glad to have a better platform to connect on.
It just kind of plays on a loop in the back of my mind. It's part of me. And @diedrichbader.bsky.social is a delightful person.
It's not about winning every battle. We won't. It's about doing everything we can to make sure they lose the war. "We'll all be dead before the Republic is back and yet… here we are! You're here and you're ready to fight!”
We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church, and the pope who tweeted that I was wrong about Jesus.
Today would be a good day for Congress to kill DOGE. Then investigate and prosecute everyone involved.
You just have to make a white person nervous in the U.S. for it to be legal for them to murder you. This country is so fucked up.
