If you haven't voted early, remember to vote tomorrow! Even if the polls look good. If you sit out because the polls look good, then the outcome probably won't be so good ... you wouldn't be the only one doing that. So vote!
What’s remarkable and wonderful to me is all the voter-intimidation they *didn’t* manage to organize. It’s too late for military mobilization; they puttered around idiotically in courts that said no; they talked about butts.
Cannot think of a more American opinion than maybe you should just solve this apocalypse individually

Students and community members at Dartmouth, where I teach, held the first Take Back the Night March since 2012. A big group. We marched down frat row to the president’s residence. Which is surrounded by frats. We chanted our chants and sang our songs & I thought it was a very good sign.

Refusing is a different move. The midwives Shiphrah and Puah refused Pharaoh. Dr. King openly broke unjust laws and took the penalty. Utah's Republican Lt. Gov. refused the DOJ's demand for voter data, and a judge dismissed the case.

Finished 'The Nickel Boys' on the train just now. Crying on the inside. Lady across from me cheered, 'yay, a real book!' Yes, and a devastating page turner, at that. cc: @ninersbookclub.bsky.social
Rain@cobaltcglass.bsky.social · 6d agoOk mine is maybe -classic quirky sensation-, eclectic and absentmindedly twee, wrapped in a thick gray cardigan. Reading 'The Nickel Boys', and it's as moving and maddening as expected. Looks like I'm about to flash forward on the MC's timeline.

It’s Halloween and Oola is ready with her wings.
Same. There was something that felt really radical about having a TV hero whose superpower was not just intelligence but thoughtfulness, and a kind of moral seriousness. Who showed from that first episode that you “win” by seeking to understand what seems like a threat.
Tom Bridge Out Ahead ⛔️🌉💥🪦@tombridge.com · 5d agoI am so glad to have learned about the integrity of leadership from Patrick Stewart as a kid watching TNG. "What would Picard do?" feels like a fair guiding question. Thank you, Patrick, for everything.
A minced oath is a polite swap for a swear or a blasphemy (like “gosh” for “God”) and the best one I’ve come across is from Palestinian Arabic, where yifḍaḥ ḥarīmak (“may your womenfolk be dishonoured”) becomes yifḍaḥ ḥarīšak (“may your caterpillar be dishonoured”). * read on for more (a thread)…
Flame would like to send you Halloween donuts (and also eat them all herself)
not one single thought has ever troubled his precious little mind
sometimes whispering during a transition that's historically been tough for your preschooler can help them de-escalate without them realizing. it's a very sweet kind of coregulation.
rax ‘levon honkers’ king@raxkingisdead.bsky.social · 6d agodoes anybody have any tips
Don't even love the song on the radio, still need that sit-in-the-car transition time.
I just think we need to keep pointing out that bodies are a thing and AI cannot have one.
re:The Diplomat AJ's acting in all of the Italy scenes, but most especially this dinner, is a master class.
So, AI is a lot like a thneed. We know who the Oncelers are. My brother and I bonded over the Lorax way back when. There are parts of our daily life that J would find completely foreign now...
I’m so furious about this because their justification is “people need to know how to halve recipes and/or measure in metric” and, like… those are features that places like Allrecipes and Nigella have had standard on their sites for years with no AI
