My partner & I were trying to ID a bird we heard while walking and the guy who had stopped his car to let us pass got out and was like "it's a frog, actually. Cope's Gray. I do frog surveys... Sorry" And then got in his car without a word and drove off. Absolute king

It brings me no pleasure to announce that the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation New Balances go exceptionally hard

@karenattiah.bsky.social This was an inspiring message that we all should take up...Resistance as self-Reliance. www.youtube.com/watch?v=tcnh...

Just a few weeks ago people were pitching Cory Booker as a front runner for the 2028 Dem presidential nomination. Tonight he was the only Senate Dem to vote to confirm Jared Kushner’s convict dad as ambassador to France. Sheesh.

So can we call this ethnic cleansing now?

Hating women and then being angry that they hate you back is weird af.

It's been 30 years of A Goofy Movie, and 31 years since we briefly lived in Paris while my dad worked on it! Truly one of the coolest things as a kid, to hang out at the studio or watch pencil tests over dinner.♥️ Also eternally grateful to mom for secreting away a bunch of original model sheets:

Dang, this story from @theathletic.bsky.social hits hard. And it’s perfect as we talk about defamation in media law class this week. If you can’t empathize with this young woman, smeared by sports media’s lowest trolls, then j don’t know what to do with you. www.nytimes.com/athletic/624...

He fired the black chairman of the joint chiefs for being woke and hired his brother.

Really feel like I’m losing my mind: government OBVIOUSLY cannot punish an individual law firm for hiring someone it disfavors! It’s ludicrously unconstitutional and I feel like without a day of law school I could argue the case. And yet the best paid lawyers in the country are folding?

every person involved in this needs to be in prison

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F. 18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it. We made this website to tell our story: 18f.org
