Listening to Charli's "Wutgering Heights," reading Clay Cane's "Burn Down Master's House," and taking a couple days to refill my own cup. I love you all, even those I don't.
A video of Alex Pretti reading out the final salute of an unnamed veteran he cared for until the end of his life in the ICU, posted to Facebook by his son.

i'm just so fucking tired.
tfw a person who is supposed to see and know you just casually says something that takes your knees out and then reassures you it was supposed to be a compliment.
It's funny how many people will do anything to avoid saying the word rape.
I just watched someone change "graped" to "fucked" when they were told to call it rape.
That discomfort you feel at the word "rape"? THAT'S WHY YOU SHOULD USE THE WORD.
Turns out the history of political philosophy is basically "snake emojis" all the way down.
I keep returning to the phrase "he's a textual Gregg Araki" to describe Chuck Tingle, but I lack any other way to explain "Bury Your Gays".
If I've said it once, I've said it a hundred times -- South Park taught an entire generation that anyone who seems to care about things is either a sucker or a con artist, and that sneering at others is more important than questioning your own worldview. Our world is measurably worse because of it.

Anything I have to fact check because it's more likely than not to just make up shit... is not useful.

No worries, guys, they moved coverage of 5 million people marching in every American city down even further to make room for the president's birthday parade that nobody went to.
The New York Times front page.
I'm sorry but the largest protest of my lifetime is not the 7th or 8th biggest news story in the country behind "what does Gen Z want from Instagram?" This shit is humiliating. Rearrange your layout to meet this moment. Omitting the thing happening in every American city is malpractice.
If today was your first protest: welcome to the party, it's nice to see you here! 🩷
"Transparency is not terrorism, and the real security threat is militarized secret police invading our communities and abducting our neighbors," Ryan Shapiro, executive director of Property of the People, tells WIRED.
Full story, unpaywalled:
feeling kinda pissy watching a "the dogs are suffering" ASPCA commercial that demonstrates privileged people will care about dogs before they care about less privileged people.
OH: "Being a line manager can feel a lot like being a terry cloth mother. And yes, you have about that much power."
You get finger cramps and caffeine shakes but swear one more hour and you'll have it this time!
Wrote up something about Techdirt's recent coverage, and why (whether we like it or not) we need to be a "democracy blog" now, rather than just a "tech" blog (not that we've ever been just a tech blog).
This story is *the* story and it impacts everything else.

"The one who owns the keys and the calendar owns the world," may have been the single greatest professional lesson I ever learned.
Before getting into tech I was an admin assistant. I know how much power I used to wield, and so the first thing I do in any situation these days is find the general (read admin or service staff) and make sure I'm kind and flexible for them.
Megalopolis wasn't for me (though I really wanted it to be and I found parts of it super charming) but god bless this attitude, and may I have the stones to have it should I ever be given free rein to do my art.
Believing in things during an era of cynicism as a virtue.
I sometimes consider the fact that my greatest "sin" has been a sort of whole-hearted genuineness that the kids these days call "cringe" and that has frequently been referred to as "too much."
The fact of the matter is we are killing/killed Laura Palmer.
Happy (belated) Twin Peaks Day.
From CFPB's former chief technologist:
ok. later when I'm chatty let's skeet about how there's no one size fits all solution for how to stay safe under fascism other than noncooperation.
You deserve nice things to uplift you and let you express yourself.
Yes. You.
You deserve better than a "haul" from SHEIN.
(Ok. Gotta go do some emotionally refilling stuff myself, see y'all later! 🩵)
