Don't stop searching for joy. Track it down if you can. Look in cluttered bookstores, haunted antique shops, and mossy old forests. Take joy out for tea, adventure, and gentle mischief across the land.

Love this so much! We will drift off to sleep tonight with a smile and probably a cackle or two because of this post (or are we still using skeet idk)

The world may be quite turbulent at the moment, but I think we can all take at least some solace in the fact that libraries, cafés, bookstores, bakeries, museums, and Oxford commas exist.

We are in the middle of the constitutional crisis, of which wild unaffordablilty is the result. The President is making very random decisions—tariffs, budget, war—without any democratic accountability and it is tanking the economy.

🚨“Had poultry been infected, the playbook would have been clear: The strain is so virulent that if a single chicken tests positive, the US govt requires farmers to kill the whole flock to protect other farms as well as public health...But there are no federal rules for how to deal with sick mink.”🚨

ProPublica@propublica.org

NEW: A bird flu outbreak has been raging uncontrolled on a Utah mink farm for two months. Flu experts fear it could spark a devastating human pandemic. But officials haven’t acted — instead prioritizing the financial interests of the fur trade.

Used kibble and peanut butter and in about 25 minutes was able to get 5 nails clipped, 2 fronts and 3 backs and by then she was just done with it. Okay baby, we’ll try again later this week

I was once again asked to "please stop" with my posts about the Oxford comma. After careful consideration, I’ve determined that I’m unable to abide by such an unreasonable, discourteous, and ill-mannered request.

“Don’t use real-world locations,” ChatGPT told the shooter, later adding: “You can still be twisted. Just be clever about it.” Our investigation uncovers how OpenAI's chatbot fed a school shooter’s violent fantasies and planning for a massacre

When Grammy-winning musician Rhiannon Giddens begins playing “Old Corn Liquor,” a traditional Black American folk tune, acclaimed Chinese pipa virtuoso Wu Man recognizes similarities to Chinese pentatonic music and spontaneously joins in. The joy on their faces says it all.

The thieving machine was built on theft and is always hungry. There’s no such thing as “ethical” generative AI if it is built on stolen property.

Juliana Stratton has an ad for the U.S. Senate seat where she’s skating in a roller rink that is cheesy and also makes me smile and want to vote for her even harder? What magic is this?

This is a lie. Kari Lake filed an election contest, a court considered it and she lost.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Trump on Kari Lake, whose name he can't remember: "I want to give me respects to that person. She's a very good person. She suffered greatly. She won that election. Probably won the other one too. The damn machines were broken in Republican areas!"

This bill would abolish ICE, DHS, and CBP, transferring legitimate customs duties to other departments. It would sunset Section 219 of the INA close the Guantánamo Bay detention facility and shutter all immigration detention centers. You have my sword, milady.

Truthout@truthout.org

Rep. Delia C. Ramirez has introduced a bill that would abolish not just ICE, but the DHS altogether, repealing the 2002 law establishing the agency and replacing it with one focused on protecting civil and human rights.

When Dems talk about the Ilhan Omar situation, they need to stop using language that implies that Omar might have done anything wrong. Trump is not "investigating" Omar. They are trying to denaturalize and deport a sitting Congressmember by scrutinizing decades old paperwork from when she was a kid

Holy shit this is an excellent read. Eye-opening. It’s long but so worth it.

Since the mid-1950s, we have changed the thing that "AI" refers to every 5-10 years. The current thing we're calling "AI" is about a decade old, and all this label-switching leads to a lack of clarity as to what (this) "AI" is.
