In the wake of a Madison PD officer killing 38-year-old Corey Ruiz on July 22, people set up an impromptu community hub in the intersection where police shot Ruiz. Per local reporting, it turned into an encampment, which the city cleared early Tuesday, only for people to re-occupy it Tuesday night.

Community members are re-liberating space tonight from killer cops in Madison, Wisconsin. Here’s a still image from a live feed filmed about an hour ago, community members can be heard chanting, “Say his name, Corey Ruiz.”

Ok but I don't want scarce community resources like electricity and water to go to data centers. I want them to go to human beings (electricity, water) and pronghorn antelope and purple sage and elk and basin wildrye and even wolves (water). Tech isn't sharing resources, it just takes.

Starting to see "they don't deserve good faith" reactions to this and the problem I have with that is we have examples of actual good faith negotiations that landed tens of millions of investment into local communities and, in at least one instance, residents responded by voting everyone out.

it's such a specific kind of inhuman cruelty to not feel anything, knowing your baby is crying for some little comfort item. normal parents turn cars around, scour ebay for replacements, send overnight mail to summer camp. to just keep it from her on purpose as an outlet for your own rage is scary.

This is sickening.

NEW: Regarding the claims that Rep. Max Miller withheld his toddler's "blue bunny," I have some new screenshots suggesting there was a pattern of Miller not giving the bunny back. There were pleas from multiple people on multiple dates. (Thread: 1/8)

if mamdani is in any way a future indicator of the threat abdul el-sayed poses as a potential senator, it’s that he will be tremendously normal and misunderstood intensely.

Your Cherokee words for today. The top word is English followed by how it is written in the Cherokee language followed by how it is spelled in English then how to pronounce it phonetically. Some warriors were hunting in the woods, and one morning, on starting out for the day,

Just saw a woman crash out on TikTok that she will be so upset if the publisher doesn't release the paperback version of ACOTAR 6 at the same time as the hardcover version and some of you out there really never read books before finding out about A Court of Thorns and Roses on TikTok, huh.

this is the take

I would rather have pronghorn antelope and bighorn sheep and elk and purple sage and four wing saltbrush than data centers and so far no one in tech has presented a compelling vision for how to have all of those things, they just seize more resources for the plagiarism engine.

“this is truly motivating me to use inshallah even more than I already do after all it’s the faster and more fun way to say “if the good lord’s willing and the creek don’t rise,” speaking as someone with Southern roots.” (2026)

She said he wanted to blame Jewish people for all his problems. Like a week ago. Now she’s like “Go Abdul!! We can do this!” So either she was being disingenuous and immoral, thus her endorsement means nothing, or she was being sincere and now is… rooting for the supposed antisemite?

If you're seeing this, you deserve this cute duckling. You've earned it. Unless you're a robot feeding a large language model, then you deserve this osprey. 🪶 🐣

Yeah I think this is the one thing sticking with me too. If you’re gonna go nuclear in the primaries and call the guy an antisemite, then what does it mean when you cheerfully endorse him? Were you lying then, or are you cool with endorsing an antisemite now?

Sean T. Collins@seantcollins.com · 16h ago

I'm weirdly upset by Stevens's gracious concession, because it makes her lie from just a few days ago that AES harbors personal animus against Jewish ppl all the more transparent. We should discourage lying to inflame tensions against two targeted religious minorities for personal political gain imo

"Pronouns used to be a funny joke, Hank. Until the government tried to tell me I couldn't use them anymore. So now I'm adamant about making sure trans people are gendered right. Not for their sake. But because I'll be damned if the US government is going to tell me what words I can and can't use."

El-Sayed: "Once a government agency like ICE is told it has impunity to do the worst things and violate the highest law of the land, which is the Constitution itself, I don't think you can reform or retrain. I think we need to start from scratch ... I think we need to abolish it."

A simple declarative statement of fact. Refreshing!

Lombardo on Trump: "When the press and media runs him down, they think about 'he's taking care of his billionaire friends.' But those billionaire friends provide jobs. And unless you take care of them, those jobs are absent."

Cierre las ventanas y ajuste el aire acondicionado para que recircule el aire que ya está dentro de su hogar y así mantenerlo limpio; como alternativa, puede abrir las ventanas por la noche para enfriar la casa y utilizar un filtro de aire para mantenerla libre de humo.

If you have air conditioning, keep windows closed, set the AC to recirculate indoor air and run an air cleaner. If you do not have AC, open windows at night to cool your home, be sure to run an air cleaner to help filter out the smoke let inside.

I will also say that I am clearing out some of my rarely used filaments to print some of these as limited runs, so if you want to express a dream color combo, please do so and WHO KNOWS WHAT MIGHT HAPPEN!!! lol

That horrible video of a Ukrainian vegetable-seller being stalked by a Russian drone is just one example among many, many thousands of recent incidents where combatants used small drones to kill and terrorize obvious civilians. We have to do more to protect these people - and here’s some ways how:

Wilmington / Coastal NC: This beautiful boy showed up at our house a few weeks ago very skinny, so we've been feeding him. He is super affectionate and has the best personality. Clearly he used to be an indoor cat and he loves people. Would love to find him a home. DM or contact link in bio.
