Hello. Fire pits that require consumers to pour isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol or other liquid fuel into an open container or bowl and then ignite the pooled liquid in the same location it was poured violate the requirements in voluntary safety standard ASTM F3363-19.

So absolutely true. I’d be remiss if I didn’t call out @theradr.bsky.social ‘s book, www.onrepentance.com. She has thought VERY deeply on this subject.

Do what's right for your own healing. Always. Whether or not you forgive is your thing. But NB "forgive" doesn't HAVE to mean "tell them you forgive them" & it CERTAINLY doesn't have to mean "let them back in your life" & ABSOLUTELY doesn't have to mean "give them a chance to do that shit again."

Look, I get wanting to protect your trademark. But, this kind of legal bullying is BS. Y'all know what to do. Here is the website for the Friends for Animals of Metro Detroit: www.metrodetroitanimals.org. Show them some love. 🩷

A Dearborn animal shelter raising money for homeless dogs and cats has been forced to rename its upcoming “Pawchella” fundraiser after receiving a cease-and-desist letter from the company behind Coachella, one of the world’s most famous music festivals.

This is a deep and very good explanation of what indirect costs in research are

A study finds that vaccine-hesitant older adults are more willing to accept hypothetical COVID shots when they are described as preserving their freedom and autonomy rather than as complying with government recommendations. Read more: ow.ly/RbUO50YCswK

What this shows is that a staggering 63%(!) of people arrested by ICE in Minnesota during Operation Metro Surge (from December through February) had no criminal record at all.

Aaron Reichlin-Melnick@reichlinmelnick.bsky.social

Quick and dirty; here's ICE arrests in Minnesota by criminality, from October 2025 to early March 2026. Note the MASSIVE spike in arrests of people with no criminal record /"convicted criminal" means any conviction no matter how minor. "Other immigration violator" means no known criminal record.

JFC!! How could this have been a mistake?

Here's back to back clips of Fox & Friends misleading viewers this morning by presenting as though it's new an old clip of Donald Trump attending a dignified transfer without his campaign baseball cap on (unlike yesterday, when he wore one), then apologizing for it later in the show

Steven Altchuler reposted

It really says something that even Fox wouldn't air the felon's show of disrespect for our troops yesterday.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Wow -- as first spotted by @BadFoxGraphics on X, Fox & Friends this morning used *old footage of a previous dignified transfer* to mislead their audience about the fact that Trump wore a baseball cap during the one yesterday

Do you believe Trump or what you see with your own eyes? He says economy is good, but you know prices are up. He says ICE is doing well, but we watch them murder Americans. He says he has nothing to hide w/ Epstein, but he still won't release the files.

Given Julia’s sources, I suspect that this is a career person who is actually well trained and not authorized to speak publicly, and not an admin political official who will defend the ICE officer no matter what.

John Pfaff@johnpfaff.bsky.social

This seems significant: not a FORMER DHS official, but a SENIOR (current) one saying the officer who fired acted counter to training. This is not an admin that admits mistakes. And they are hanging this guy out to dry on Day One. I think they know this is bad. Really bad.

Trump says the U.S. will defend peaceful protesters in Iran. At home, he sent federal forces and National Guard troops into American cities to suppress peaceful protests against ICE abuses. You don’t defend free speech abroad while undermining it at home.

The White House claims the vote to rename the Kennedy Center was “unanimous.” That is false. I was muted on the call and denied the opportunity to speak or register my opposition. That is not consensus. That is censorship.

This is fucking grim. Somebody invented a white guy, an "IT professional" named Edward Crabtree, who stopped the Bondi shooting and spread it all over the internet, which was picked up by AI agents and slop aggregation sites. The real hero is a fruit stand owner named Ahmed el Ahmed.
