I can just see/hear this party. Hope it's a good one!

The standard/daylight time switch doesn't bother me in the least. If it weren't for changing clocks on the oven and microwave I might not notice.

Psh, who's this johnny-come-lately trying to lecture me, a multigenerational multiracial American, on what America is made of??

My white ancestors are the most recent Americans in my family tree and they beat Musk here by ~120 years. Go back to South Africa, or better yet, off to Mars.

I haven't been carded for alcohol much since my mid 20s. Do I look old, trustworthy, or like a lush? Who's to say. I don't own a car. What would I need to carry ID for?

And I shouldn't have to. This is supposed to be a free country, Markwayne.

(he's also lying about the ease of moving here and the process of gaining the right to vote as an immigrant, but he's also just a giant baby who can't stand to see others succeed)

To paraphrase, "America is a land of opportunity and that is terrifying"

Honey, these ghouls would hang their mothers out to dry if it was politically expedient. Who did you think you were dealing with?

Love this for China. I hope the US can get back to having more a robust regulatory system some day

I get the impulse to place blame on Republicans, they deserve it. But I would love to see more folks come with "damn right I'll shut this country down to stop this shitshow" energy

Ugh, racist family is one of my least favorite things about being biracial. My heartfelt sympathies to kids whose parents pull this kind of crap, it hurts in a special way to hear from people who ought to love you

A pox on anyone who has made car door handles hard to find & electric. Every third time I call a rideshare lately I struggle to get in/out.

Handles should be obvious & mechanically operated, else how do you get out in an emergency?! This is some Triangle Shirtwaist fire BS, ought to be illegal.

I wonder if ICE chuds ever paused to consider how quickly this administration would leave them holding the bag the minute it becomes politically expedient to do so

I hate Trump. In the last election my parents voted for the other candidate! She didn't win. Now that Trump is president, he tried to shut down education.

A reflection note drawing connections to the present from a young visitor to an excellent, if sobering, exhibit on Japanese interment up currently at the Presidio Officers' Club in San Francisco.

You're right to say it, Rory.

Thanks, Nebraska, for one -2°F wind chill day during my visit from California to put the fear of god back in me

We love to affix a scarlet letter to a lady, don't we?

They made a bad choice that was none of our collective business. Their families, their employer and colleagues, their friends, have every right to be mad. But this rabid gossip-mongering at national scale is shameful.

We just reread Gatsby and I wanna hear all your opinions when we see you

Yep, was on a Midwestern late fall run with headphones. The midday fireworks startled me, but it didn't take long to guess the reason

Call "AI" applications by their function challenge

Gross.

Good on the exec board for advancing this, hope the full body follows suit. Good riddance.

John too, more for us

‘This hurts’: NU regents back shuttering four academic programs at UNL • Nebraska Examiner The University of Nebraska Board of Regents voted to eliminate four academic programs at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.

I've moved out of state 3 times. Each time the primary driver was economic and you could have prevented each by funding the university. Instead, we get this:

We were having this debate when I entered the young adult category in the mid-2000s and we've tried nothing and are all out of ideas now that I've aged out of it. We know why the brain drain happens, the Nebraska ruling class just isn't willing to do anything about it.

love that in the supposed hellscape of Oakland, everyone says thank you to the driver when they get off the bus

It's about making a gender hierarchy where men's role is to be in control seem natural and god-given.

...which was confusing since I simultaneously got a lot of 90s girl power messaging from my single (but religious) mom.

Does Amazon engage in shady business practices? Sure. Is its founder a scummy dude? Also yes.

But I don't think we talk enough about how shameful its UI is for a "Big Tech" company with that much money. The clutter makes me dizzy!

Seeing a Knives Out film in theaters is becoming a Thanksgiving tradition at our house. If you get a chance to catch Wake Up Dead Man on the big screen, do it! Who doesn't love a funny but substantive murder mystery set in a small town Catholic church? Plus it's gorgeous.

Pope Leo with a bat

“Excuse me. I heard someone over here isn’t caring for the poor and welcoming immigrants.”

You could call me lazy and you'd be right, I don't have patience for pie crust.

I also know when I'm beat. I live in pie heaven, strolling distance from 4 amazing bakeries. I bought this pear hazelnut affair and I was right to do it.
