Separating the art from the artist (complimentary).
Celeste Headlee@celesteheadlee.bsky.social · 10h agoSo, Banksy bought a used yacht, repaired it and retrofitted it to serve as a rescue boat to save migrants in the central Mediterranean. The whole project cost the artist $860,000. Since 2020, the boat has saved more than 3,800 people. londondaily.com/banksy-funds...
forgot to check the price before I got to the pump, just paid $7 for gas 💀 do not ask me to go anywhere I can’t get to by metro
my birthday is this weekend and because I 1) have been away from home pet sitting essentially the entire month and 2) feel guilty about asking people to spend any money right now, I have not planned to do anything and now it’s too late and I’ve made myself sad about it (millennial lol)
Again, it’s not just that this Tesla asshole killed a mother and her child with his recklessness. It’s that as his victims were dying, he did nothing to help them and instead sat scrolling through his phone.

So far, season 7 of Taskmaster NZ is delightful enough to distract from a rather underwhelming UK version happening concurrently. I promise I am not just saying this because I have a longstanding crush on Rose Matafeo.
Achievement unlocked: I presented to Board members today! Though I’ve testified before the California legislature before, this was my first time in front of the mayor and executive management committee.

Ned Resnikoff@resnikoff.bsky.social · last wk.Every time I see a story like this I remember how, when I was a state employee, you had to pay a small monthly fee if you wanted to use the office water cooler instead of the tap. calmatters.org/politics/202...

Joseph Rezek@rezekjoe.bsky.social · last wk.BREAKING: Boston University's English department (my dept) recently voted to approve new learning outcomes for the English major, including an anti-AI provision that requires students to “craft and revise writing that is sustained, original, and generated without the assistance of AI."
Our hearts are with the victims and families of tonight’s devastating Metro bus and helicopter crashes in Chatsworth, and with the entire NBC4 family. Thank you to the first responders working tirelessly tonight.
Gutted seeing what happened today in Chatsworth. Just a horrific set of events and a sad day for transit. RIP.
Matthew Rhys I have been a fan since Brothers and Sisters and I’m so happy to see you shine
RHEA!!! So so overdue and deserved. I’m so happy for her and for my wildly talented friends and for everyone who worked on Pluribus.
I am once again asking producers to let Welsh people keep their accents regardless of how ridiculous it is for the show. #Emmys
I’m still absolutely gutted that the SAVE plan for student loan repayment has ended. I have been putting off the next steps until now, I just don’t know how I’m possibly going to be able to afford this increase and I know I’m not alone.
I worry that many on the left will vote for Kim for the wrong reasons. Kim's proposals are a bailout of wealthy suburban and rural homeowners at the expense of working class, urban people. She is using progressive language to distort yet another market to benefit those who have benefitted to date.
Clara Jeffery@clarajeffery.bsky.social · 2w agoEverybody who knows anything about insurance is screaming from the rooftops what a disaster Jane Kim would be as commissioner. Here’s another sfstandard.com/opinion/2026...
this is terrible but I can’t stop laughing at the thought of commemorating your national tragedy by making people think it’s happening again

My friends’ show won four Emmys tonight!! Hopefully a preview for next week 🤞
Procreate confirms it has NO plans to add generative AI features to its apps. The company continues to stand firmly against integrating generative AI into its creative tools.
I was playing a world map on geoguessr with my mom on facetime and it just plopped me literally less than a mile from my house, lmao
Everywhere he went, Ed Markey's biggest applause line was about protecting trans people. The Massholes yearn for trans liberation.
Called David and Rose Matafeo!! And I’m sure I’ll love the other three contestants immediately too.
