@lowqualityfacts get well soon!

Please sign this petition to Urge SF Sheriff to Uphold Sanctuary.  SF’s Sanctuary Ordinance gives the Sheriff discretion over when to turn those in custody over to ICE.  The petition and a letter signed by multiple organizations (including ISF) will be delivered to the Sheriff next Wednesday, Feb 25th.   
It’s not too late to sign. https://buff.ly/GtZD5MJ

Billionaires Missing, Presumed Dead After Raft Fleeing Millionaire Tax Capsizes Off Mercer Island: https://theneedling.com/2026/02/20/billionaires-missing-presumed-dead-after-raft-fleeing-millionaire-tax-capsizes-off-mercer-island/

weeeird, just got a Border Patrol hiring ad in YouTube, and when I went to block it, the advertiser name was in Cyrillic. "Сити Билд Пропъртис". Took a screenshot and translated it, and it just says "City Build Properties". Like, literally just a phonetic transcription.

Looking this up, it turns out to be a Bulgarian real estate company.

wtf is going on here?

Would you board the USS Linguistic Prescriptivism?

Grammar, the Final Frontier. These are the voyages of the USS Linguistic Prescriptivism. Its ongoing mission: to diagram strange new sentences; to seek out split infinitives and Oxford commas; to correct boldly what no grammarian has corrected before!

You’d be better off without me. I wouldn’t exist without you. I’d be a different person. And I’d like that person less.

"Anything that is in the world when you're born is normal and ordinary and is just a natural part of the way the world works. Anything that's invented between when you're fifteen and thirty-five is new and exciting and revolutionary and you can probably get a career in it. Anything invented after you're thirty-five is against the natural order of things."

--Douglas Adams, as quoted by @pluralistic

The loon as symbol: healing and clear-sightedness in Inuit tradition, eloquence in Greenlandic parliament, resistance in Minneapolis, and a reminder to stand up for what's right. Beautiful work by Sophie Labelle connecting these threads across cultures.

#SanFrancisco #Earthquake ?

Woke from a dream about trying to get onto the T, which is what we in #Boston call our subway system, and recognized several weird aspects of it, and slowly realized that there is this whole dream-world T system that I have visited many times in dreams over the years.

The UK isn't a country; it's four raccoons in a trench coat. Only one of them is a brown bear that outweighs the rest by 9:1 and keeps dragging them places they don't want to go (like: out of Europe), and the fourth raccoon has dissociative identity disorder and is self-medicating with cocaine because it's Northern Ireland.

We went into the city today to get this amazing library card!!!

Remember the big blackout in SF? And how we were curious about why the ballet had generators and the rest of the neighborhood was in the darkness for days?

Turns out the mayor personally requested for it for his daughter’s performance

It looks like the #pride flag they put back at #Stonewall today, is the original Gilbert Baker one with eight stripes. This is truly an historical flag and in keeping with NPS guidelines, surely?
