Imagine being a voter who just today found out Joe Biden isn’t running

[CFB Home @CFBHome]

O-T-T-T-O-G-O!!!

[Olivia Julianna 🇺🇸🦅🗳️ @0liviajulianna]

You’re worrying about Joe Biden’s age when the old men you should be worried about are the ones on the Supreme Court.

Next President very likely could get 2 appointments— you want it to be the predatory convicted felon or the grandpa with the cough and stutter?

@The_Sarahnade Just the other day my partner of 14+ years asked me, "Do you think other people like each as much as we like each other?"

Rep. @AOC on her decision to contribute to the @DCCC for the first time, as first reported by the NYTimes:

"If Democrats do not retake the House in November, I do not have confidence that a Republican majority would certify the results of a presidential election."

[Lego Lost At Sea @LegoLostAtSea]

Another octopus from the great Lego spill of 1997 has just turned up! It was found today by 13-year-old Liutauras on the shores of the ancient Cornish market town of Marazion and is one of 4,200 Lego octopuses lost to the sea 27 years ago. Many thanks to Vytautas Cemolonskas for the pictures.

“We built cities all over America that are designed for automobiles and not designed for people... Our housing costs are high, in part because of the way that we've designed our cities."

Stores CAN’T write-off those checkout line donations. Also the tax system for philanthropy is anti-democratic.

Your periodic reminder that less ice at the Arctic is consistent with a weaker jet stream that allows cold air to drift down into the Great Plains.

The frigid temps you're experiencing happen BECAUSE of a warming planet, not in spite of it.

@xurbanxcowboyx It doesn't take many negligent or quasi-deliberate attempts on your life to go from "I just love walking to the store in this coat. The fluffy collar is so warm. 🥰." ➡️ "We should yeet all cars, especially SUVs and "light trucks" into the sun."

[BART @SFBART]

Things we love to see: the new Cal men's basketball head coach Mark Madsen taking BART.

Perfect footwork from Coach with the backpack between the legs (as courtesy to other riders) with laptop on lap 💯

Go Bears! Thanks for taking BART, Coach Madsen! @CalMBBall

[simone anne @_simoneanne]

Okay, but this is a pretty neat solution. 😍

[Rebecca Saltzman @RebeccaForEC]

Pac-Man the Harris Hawk has been so effective at humanely keeping pigeons (and their droppings) away from El Cerrito del Norte station that tomorrow BART Board will vote to expand program to 12 BART stations.

Look for Pac-Man at a station near you next year!

“You’re a slut and a whore for the algorithm. I couldn’t do it anymore. You can never feed it enough. You start out making art, and hoping that the door will open. You’re looking for that viral moment so it opens up the door and you can do the thing full time. But you start to compromise just to get the door to open: guessing what it wants, debasing yourself, alienating yourself. Until you’re not even in service to your art anymore. You’re in service to the algorithm. Deep down every artist just wants to be seen. Everyone does. And that’s how it controls you. The algorithm makes you behave in a certain way, create in a certain way, in exchange for being seen. And if something can change what you do, it can change who you are. And I didn’t sign up for that. I didn’t sign up to become a content creator. Art was supposed to be a way for me to be in search of, in service to, in community with. It was my ministry. Art was supposed to be my ministry.”

A bright and shining example of the suicidal absurdity of technocapitalist society occurs every year at this time, all across the country.

@nypl any plans to increase the number of holds allowed for audiobooks? I understand the check out limit and want to share, but with waits that are weeks long, I can hardly keep a full TBR queue.

I obtained surveillance footage of the self-driving Tesla that abruptly stopped on the Bay Bridge, resulting in an eight-vehicle crash that injured 9 people including a 2 yr old child just hours after Musk announced the self-driving feature.

Will always very happily hike up a mountain in the middle of the night for photos. <3

[Valerie Woolard @valeriecodes]

Surprise, we’re married! 👰‍♀️🤵‍♂️🎉

I made Jon & our photographer (the fantastic @_simoneanne) hike up a mountain all night for these pictures.
