Big sci-fi/fantasy/comic book media nerd. Fan of scones, coffee, pie, and breakfast. In the gym a lot. An actual teddy bear. Dabble in stories, narratives, and the social determinants of identity.
This plus the fact that Jimmy isn’t actually Italian — but the fan theory that his ex wife is Colleen Caviello and she actually is Italian AND Linda hates her?
Canon. It’s canon.
Dear Temple Israel Family, Everyone is safe. All 140 students in our Susan and Harold Loss Early Childhood Center, our amazing staff, our courageous teachers, and our heroic security personnel are all accounted for and safe. As you have no doubt heard, Temple Israel was the victim of a terrorist gunman who was confronted and neutralized by our security personnel who are truly heroes. Our teachers followed their training and kept the children safe and calm. We are deeply and humbly grateful to our teachers, staff, security, law enforcement, and Shenendoah Country Club that welcomed us, fed us, and sheltered our staff, teachers, children, and parents. What incredible neighbors we have. What incredible police force we have This note is coming to you before we know anything about our future programming or services, or any investigation. We wanted you to know we are safe, and we love you all.
A statement from Temple Israel in West Bloomfield, Michigan:
It’s something like the Wall-E (not Trolley) Problem. How do you create an AI world when the usefulness of AI to better humankind is also cut off from self-replication by the transit from here to there? 🙃
And tbh, that might fit in with lawyers, scholars, and people who both challenge and have been challenged by systems of government, academia, business, etc.
But they… well, they also seem to be the people east likely to sing AI’s praises, and who carry practices less likely to exist in that world.
Someone who works adjacent to AI asked me a few months ago what I thought would be valuable in an “AI world” where the machine did the busy stuff and coordination of info for you. And really the only thing I could think of was “a skeptical, curious, precise habit of viewing the world.” Questions etc
A man who was shot by Connecticut police last year and later died had to wait 10 extra minutes for another ambulance to arrive at the scene, after another officer having an anxiety attack took the first one.
This comes next.
No.
Gen Xers and Millennials must reject this & form new models of elderhood.
Many Gen Xers want to retire @ 55-60 like our Silent generation forebears who had pensions. Sadly, we're not eligible for Medicare until age 65 or Social Security until age 67.
If we can afford to live, we will step aside.
the blue no matter who people are probably screaming, crying and throwing up in his mentions but they know he's right. Democrats will benefit from thermostatic public opinion. No one voting for them has a clue what they will do if they win. [feel free to say nothing to me in my mentions, thanks]
This interview with the great @rebeccasolnit.bsky.social was a "wow" moment for me. Thanks, New York Times and David Marchese.

I couldn't help noticing the question that seemed the most Times-like to me.
(Reuters) - U.S. intelligence indicates that Iran's leadership is still largely intact and is not at risk of collapse any time soon after nearly two weeks of relentless U.S. and Israeli bombardment, according to three sources familiar with the matter.

Tbh, my biggest difficulty was just aiming right lol. I could see the line but my fingers and the screen don’t always agree. 😂
Okay well, I think that’s fine.
for the record, a ga. pastor got granted a meeting w higher ups offering no concessions and then tried to announce the boycott is called off, and nobody cares lol www.youtube.com/watch?v=gUcw...
Household uncommitted funds being what they are these days (low!), these corporations are really playing themselves to think we aren’t counting pennies and headlines at the same damn time.
Adding Chili’s to the list is just regular financial maintenance at this point.
I may be wrong, but it feels to me like reporters are giving Trump a lot more "Yeah, no, that's bullshit" responses now than they did just a few months ago.
She’s (a) running against Ilhan, and (b)probably counting on people not figuring out that she was an ICE prosecutor before signing up to imprison people at DOJ. Her candidacy comes with a free laugh track.

The reason I want students to have to struggle with difficult texts is because I want them to have the capacity to make meaning in and of the world on their own.
Oh, and look, here's that class action suit! That anyone with half a brain would have seen coming! From, like, a million miles away!
Just because you work in tech doesn't mean you're smart.
This is what I mean about early signs of rot in the US military under Trump. This was an early strike in what we were told was a well planned and resourced effort. Now it looks like a fundamental and easy to correct error was made.

Facebook post by Nekima Levy Armstrong: "Friends, A Breaking News headline just appeared in the Star Tribune, claiming that the national Target boycott ended today. This is false. The writer of the story, Carson Hartzog, is fully aware that the Target boycott was launched in Minneapolis on February 1, 2025. I have spoken to her several times since then, yet she failed to reach out to me, Jaylani Hussein, or Monique Cullars Doty, the three founders of the national Target boycott for the story. Carson even used the photo from our press conference that includes my daughter, Assata Joy and Ms. Rosemary Nevils, an elder in our community, to try to add legitimacy to a bogus story. I am once again disgusted by the Star Tribune and their attempts to minimize and erase the voices of our community. The nationwide Target Boycott is not over, unless and until Target reverses its decision to rollback Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, as we said from the beginning. “Pastor” Jamal Bryant does not speak for us or our community and has zero authority to end the nationwide boycott of Target, a company that is headquartered in Minneapolis. Please don’t believe the hype and these attempts to rescue Target from the effects of capitulating to the Trump Administration. Target rolled back DEI because of Donald Trump. They donated $1 million to the Trump/Vance inauguration committee. Target also allowed ICE to stage in its parking lots during Operation Metro Surge. The nationwide boycott of Target is successful and it will continue. Please continue to shop elsewhere."
Nekima on the Target boycott.
Reminder that SURJ is…for white people.
!!! I just don’t know why some people are waiting for “proof” in the form of a document or recording when this stuff is everywhere. Wild.
“Bryant was not the first to call for a Target boycott.
Nekima Levy Armstrong, founder of the Racial Justice Network, and other civil rights activists in Minnesota, launched a boycott last February over the retailer's DEI rollbacks…”
exactly.

Is there a Six Degrees of Separation but for The Files™️ out there?
A nice visual / interactive website (app?) would be a great way to spread the word outside of the news cycle.
No, thank you. Target is corny now. The Justin Timberlake of big box stores. Should have never did Janet like that.
