To U.S. friends getting their signs together and planning to be out on the street on Saturday—be safe, be strong! #NoKings

@Stellar It really is impressively sad how silicon valley can't find any business strategy that isn't a front for selling personal data. It's the only thing they know how to do

Wifebot was picking some flowers in the garden and made this.

@ArcanePigeon I love it!

I went to a talk lately that was mostly about something else, but the speaker came out with:

“If you only remember one thing from this talk, remember this. Everyone in this room who likes helping people, raise your hand.”

Every hand, or nearly every hand, went up.

“If you like asking other people for help, keep your hand up.”

Almost every hand went back down.

“As you can see, people like helping you. When you ask for help, you’re making them feel good, even if you don’t like asking.”

I’ve genuinely forgotten the rest of the presentation but I won’t forget that.

@aeva yes please!!!

Remember how gui icons used to come in all sorts of shapes and colors and represented their function, and you could see at a glance what something does and pick it out without having to hunt for it because it looked different from the other icons? I liked that a lot. Can we bring that one back?

Actually, a double V is seeming very appropriate right now.

Want to honk to show your support for protesters? I love to hear it! But let me recommend a specific pattern. V for victory. Three shorts and a long. Repeat as many times as your like. ···—

Chat, is this solarpunk?

Hey pundits, if you're arguing that it's the protesters fault that Donald Trump is illegally calling out US troops to counter public protests, The Onion is mocking you. Deservedly.

@futurebird My microwave is powered through a switch that I only turn on when using the microwave. I refuse to let it be a clock! But that's an inconvenient workaround. The law should also specify that the option must be remembered through a power loss.

@davidho Journalists LOVE using words like "skeptical" and "critical". It's a useful way for them to declare which side they're on while pretending they're being neutral.

700 Marines are being sent to LA to try and stop those who are fighting to protect their immigrant friends and neighbours.

Two journalists have already been shot with “less lethal” ammunition, one of whom required emergency surgery.

They’re shooting at the press.

They seem to want this situation to escalate and they want to silence the brave reporters trying to do their jobs.

Don’t let them. Keep speaking out. Amplify posts from those who are on the ground sharing what’s happening .

Speak up against atrocities. Don’t look away.

NOT child of Kurt Russell & Goldie Hawn, LA celebrities.
Maybe this'll get picked up by @TMZ @people @time to reach folks that only watch Fox. Sadly, it won't make cable news, no violence.

The message is still good. No violence. Words. Peaceful protest.
