when people ask me why i am so anticar, mostly i ask "why aren't you also anticar?" a system where a grown adult cannot be stopped from murdering a child in broad daylight needs dismantling yesterday.
What a joy to welcome my constituent Oriana Korol and the Unpresidented Brass Band to the Capitol this session and celebrate our right to protest with music, creativity, and courage in the face of devastating assaults on our immigrant communities. #iceout #orleg #orpolΒ
Inhumane, horrifying, disgusting

Iβve been using my Venmo but hereβs another way to help Minnesotans in need. We are desperately trying to cover March (past due) rent for several more families. As soon as one is covered, another request comes in. Help?! Share and/or donate. And repeat.
can we stop calling the middle east the mideast? the cutesy shortening of eurocentric language is just not it for me.
in massachusetts, rural areas are not well mapped in gps due to supply and demand. signage near farms and talking to locals are both very, very important.
Here's a piece I wrote explaining my top request coming out of interviews I did for Mayor Wilson's transition -- a clear mayoral directive that ensures that every project that touches our city encourages reduces VMT. Read more π
Please read this article to the end. Even before ICE got involved, this started because this *blind man who speaks no English and uses a curtain rod as a walking stick* got lost on a walk and some Karen called the police on him and they tasered and beat him bc he didnβt drop the rod. WTF
A Salute to Older Olympic Athletes
fitisafeministissue.com/2026/02/25/a...
in figure skating internationally most skaters are very, very good and no single skater has 'the edge' (LOL) on anyone else. liu's attitude can mean she won't overtrain or take unnecessary risks just to get to a podium. this could give her a long, happy career.
alysa liu's three best qualities this olympics was sportsmanship, joy and love of her sport. she decided to enjoy everything and kept to it, supported by a great skate team usa, her family and friends. her attitude and performance elevated the experience for her competitors.
the most welcome difference in recent years is that alysa liu can talk about diet culture, her adhd and mental health issues. her messages are filtered through media training. it warms my heart to see them anyway.
figure skating has changed a lot since michelle kwan retired. the biggest difference is average difficulty has increased! increasing a program's difficulty heightens your risk and changes how you train. every fall could mean retirement and falls are worse with riskier elements.
liu is also among the most technical skaters and prodigies american figure skating has ever produced, this is her second olympics and she landed a quad (few women can) before she retired for 2 years and came back (unheard of!). she is one of one.
its more common to see high scoring routines that are boring, disjointed and lacking in confidence. its normal to compare liu '26 to hughes '02: both skated clean programs versus skaters who committed major errors with riskier programs and could have won.
liu skated two programs locked in, making exactly one minor technical error, which is rare. most figure skaters commit multiple errors per program including liu. her programs were both high scoring and entertaining, which is also rare.
The floor plan for the planned ICE concentration camp in Social Circle, Georgia:
gonna be so funny if the most popular thing I write ends up being something devoted to analyzing PAW Patrol
i bike in somerville, ma near davis square and, uh, today i was honked at and close passed by two cars in an hour. 20ish years ago, that would have happened to me multiple times. whatever the city is doing is working.
my wife got into jeffing when we trained for a 5k years ago. i hope to get back into it soon.
i blame the manosphere for this latest round of nonsense. most humans can't eat 100 g a day, not without causing real GI problems since protein powders can have shitty (intentional use here) additives.
cocaine needs to be regulated since people want to use it anyway it makes more sense to have government oversight rather than leave ordinary people to be victimized by lack of regulation.
i think legalization of cocaine, like legalization of alcohol 100 years ago and the inevitable legalization of marijuana in the USA, could really help RIGHT NOW. it is hard AF to get on a GLP1 despite how legal they are. and yes, all legal drugs are taxed, thats a big economic reason to do it.
well, that's what an AI wife is for. an actual human comes with emotions.
Georgia residents are fearing a literal sh*t storm if ICE expands near their town.
i have been an okay driver, and i was bad driving standard or "stick." i was so bad at it, my dad gave up on teaching me after about an hour, and i nearly drove a friend of mine and myself right into a telephone pole. the joke was on me, though, since the driver's ed car was an automatic.
Last Friday, Gov Healey committed MA to a 3 year, multimillion-dollar contract with OpenAI, to deploy its AI tool for all 40,000 executive branch employees. She did this based on the recommendation of a task force dominated by execs w financial ties to OpenAI.
