Thanks to UP for giving our indigenous people space for their voices, their war cries, and our demands. Philippines is NOT for sale. Reject Pax Silica. Protect our farmers. Protect our ancestral lands. TRUMP OUT 🇵🇭✊🏾
𝑓𝑙𝑎𝑖𝑟𝑖 ✊🏾 NO PAX SILICA@flairiart.bsky.social · 23h agoOur indigenous people protesting Trump's visit went HARD. Wow...mad respect. Give them back their land.
The West Wing episode “The Crackpots And These Women” seesaws from dialogue that gives me chills and tears to patronizing commentary about the women in the White House. Classic Sorkin. I don’t know if anyone realized how tremendous, and soothing, TWW would be in the decades since its release.
Should I just...put in the money to fix my 20-year-old car, instead of getting a new one? It really only needs exterior cosmetic and interior detailing work, but otherwise it works just fine...maybe I can hold out until someone releases a privacy-friendly car in the US...?

Oh, yeah: investigate GrapheneOS-compatible phones, too.

Astrum Earth just put out a video about recently-released Tōhoku geologic discoveries. Scientists spent the last 15 years working exhaustively to understand why the tsunami was so much worse than Japan had planned for. It turned out to be...an extremely thin layer of clay.

Prof Sam Illingworth@samillingworth.com · 4d ago🌋 Tohoku fault has relocked Seafloor measurements show the fault behind Japan's 2011 Tohoku earthquake is already locked about as tightly as before it struck. For people on that coast, the clock may already be ticking. 🔗 doi.org/10.1126/science.aeg7301 #Earthquakes #Geoscience #Japan 🧪
I’m so excited to finally get to share this with the world at large, but I’m happy to present Subspace Commlink, an LCARS-inspired Bluesky interface, available for anyone to use at https://bsky.starfleet.live ! I’ll take a few posts here to introduce you to some of the features.
this morning on the airport shuttle we were sitting with some folks from Texas and she was gorgeous in the sunrise and I was like "dude the mountain is so good rn look" and they turned around and gasped and the guy was in tears like "we've been here for days and this is the first time we've seen it"

Literally how I feel every time I see it. Or any volcano. They are gods among us. But Tahoma/Rainier especially has a real presence.

Someone should mint one single "Yelled at SecDef and got away with it" challenge coin for that guy.
Fair play...if people willfully misread Zohran and AOC smiling when greeting each other at the 9/11 memorial as "laughing at it," those same people need to be called out when they're ACTUALLY laughing in a disrespectful context. Good on that soldier for not holding back.

Freedom of Speech is a paramount right in this country. It is wrong that Seattle’s own Climate Pledge Arena is reportedly blocking Macklemore’s performance. I call on Climate Pledge to make every effort to ensure Macklemore is able to perform in his own hometown arena. Seattle is better than this.
Just splurged on tickets to see Rodrigo y Gabriela next week and @gianmarcosoresi.bsky.social next month, because I’m allowing myself to spend money on joyful experiences as opposed to accumulating unnecessary stuff. I deserve to feel happy and enjoy this life.
@seattletimes.com Why no coverage of the hate-based Diwali antagonizing at Seattle Center this weekend? You covered the attempted shooting at the Aurora, IL, Hindu temple - why not this?
Is eBay essentially AliExpress now? A charging cable for my fitness watch costs $25 on Garmin’s site, but I just got two for $11 on eBay.
The @seattletimes.com has ZERO stories about the hate attack on children celebrating Diwali at the Seattle Center Armory; white supremacists have been attacking South Asians in Washington for >100 years. Their front page currently features a story about... Chappelle making a joke about Charlie Kirk.
And this is why I never leave home anymore. Oh yeah, happy Diwali/Deepavali Vazhthukkal.
Anil Dash@anildash.com · 6d agoJake Lang attacked a Diwali celebration while CHILDREN were performing. This is just after we were only a jammed gun away from a mass murder at a Hindu temple. And *zero* Republicans were asked to disavow their ties to these J6 bigots during this campaign. www.thestatesman.com/world/deport...
I’ve watched this 5 times and don’t see or hear the alleged picket line crossing - can someone point it out? I’m not denying it (though Yo-Yo Ma doing it is a huge bummer for this violinist); I just don’t see anything except people marching in a circle? Help me get on board, y’all. 🙏🏽

He took aim at AIPAC: “To the super PACs and special interests who tried to beat us, we are coming for your system of politics. To AIPAC, who spent $42 million against us, thank you for giving me the opportunity to beat you twice.”
“To all the kids who watched this last month, to all the parents who struggled to explain why the president openly mocks someone for their name or how they pray,” he said. “Let them know tomorrow that the bad guys lost.”
Abdul El-Sayed in his victory speech: “I always say "Insha'Allah" or "God willing" whenever the outcome of this race was mentioned. But today, tonight, we can turn that Inshallah into a Alhamdulillah,” he said. “For the right-wing ops, that just means praise be to God.”
I mean, I’ve been wanting to, so thanks for the reminder

my sister in Vancouver just texted the family group chat and instantly burst the joy bubble this is so upsetting and an important reminder that transphobia is not a GOP / red state issue. plenty of Dems who don't want to harm THEMSELVES by voting for a Republican will vote for measures like this
Amy Rae Hill@amyraehill.bsky.social · last wk.Yep because even in solidly blue WA the anti trans initiative is passing atm
