Guess which state is planning to build the most data centers? Texas.

"He wants to be very constructive" -- moments after announcing that he's taking sanctions off Russia without mentioning Russia by name, Trump says "I had a very good call with President Putin" today

"The imminent depletion of water supplies in Corpus Christi threatens to cut off the flow of jet fuel to Texas airports and other oil exports from one of the nation’s largest petroleum ports, triggering potential shockwaves through energy markets in Texas and beyond."

Fracking waste has a mix of chemicals from fracking fluid + others leached from underground. Arsenic, lead, cancer-causing benzenes, radioactive radium can all be present. It's being dumped in Pennsylvania landfills. Mounting evidence says it's getting into rivers: share.google/p7PRFqzizPVZ...

Earlier this year leaked video showed the inhumane conditions at the Baltimore ICE Holding Facility. Today we conducted an unannounced oversight visit. Here's some of what we learned:

This is also why art is important. I learned about the Troubles because of the Cranberries song Zombie. I was only six or seven at the time, but it was such a powerful and terrifying song and music video that I asked my family what it was about. They told me as best they could.

Trump said he had a strong game plan to keep energy markets stable. The plan failed. Oil is soaring. Gas is climbing. Families are suffering. A strong game plan does not create economic chaos. A strong game plan does not require emergency meetings to fix its own damage. #TrumpsGasProblem

Trump did not announce a U.S. policy then walk it back. That is not what happened, and media presenting it that way does a disservice. Trump said words he thought might appeal to his audience in the moment, with no connection to actual policy, then did that again with a different question/asker.

On Linux forums I, a woman, would get ignored and disrespected. These days I ask my question, then switch to a fake account to give a completely wrong answer, then switch back again to thank them and praise their Linux knowledge. The experts show up right away. Sorted.

No city in Australia could ever accept this fact. Let alone act on it.

My smugness is immeseruable this morning. Two co-workers are complaining about petrol prices. I commuted by eBike. It costs ~$0.04c to fully charge (assuming from the grid, not my solar). I saved ~$3.26 by riding ^_^ You can not contain my smugness.

Isn't this why we have presidential elections? So, someone so clearly ignorant and unqualified could never be President. WTF America?!! Was Kamala's laugh really THAT awful?

goddamn is this a breath of fresh air after Allred 2024

Who would have guessed that the legal system in America was so fragile that a single crazy president could ignore the whole thing, from the Constitution right down to state laws? Why does the Supreme Court and Congress let this demented moron act like the dictator of a banana republic?

You habba hard time finding someone else with “the cahoots” to be this brazenly stupid on tv.

"The Price of Safety: Stories of Abortions Denied, Careers Disrupted, and States Left Behind" details the human and economic toll of abortion bans. The anthology uses stories from patients, doctors, business leaders, and others to show the real-world consequences of abortion bans.

There’s never enough money for schools or healthcare or veterans. But there’s always enough money to bomb people on the other side of the world. We can support the democracy movement in Iran without bombing innocent schoolchildren and sending our American troops off to die.

How dare her!! 🧐🤨 "When people like Kamala Harris send our sons and daughters, our young people, to fight in stupid wars, it is the young generation that carries the burden of that. We're gonna stop sending our young people to far away lands. We are not the policemen of the world."

Vaccines save lives. Vaccines protect you from infection, and/or protect you from getting the worst complications of the disease. In addition, by being vaccinated, you are protecting all of those around you, including the young, the old and the immunocompromised.

Psychiatric hospitals — increasingly owned by for-profit corporations — are illegally turning away patients during crises. Yet only a handful face penalties, with fines that are trivial, a ProPublica investigation found. (Published Sept. 2025)

The SAVE Act is a major attack on voting rights. It is not a genuine voter ID reform, but rather an attempt to suppress turnout in future elections.

If you’re roughly my age, it’s wild to reflect on the optimism for the future Americans felt when Obama was elected — young Americans spontaneously took to the streets to celebrate! — and contrast with what we face today. The falloff over the past 18 years is hard to process.

Not trying to be hyperbolic, I fear we are on the cusp of a 9/11 type catastrophe that this regime is unwilling and unable to protect us from.

You know how Trump wanted to send our military into our cities, even though that is not their job? Can we send ICE/CBP to Iran even though that is not their job?

I had an UNUSUAL volume of writing published in February, so even though I've shared everything individually here before, if you'll indulge me I'm going to string them together here in a thread. Bird science incoming! 🪶🧵

“This budget will disable all of us. Austerity always does. It erodes public systems until precarity becomes the norm. The only people insulated are those with private buffers and political friendships.”

One of my first tweets as bike mayor was about how my bike is my mobility aid. Some old crank replied that I can’t be disabled if I ride a bike. Anyway, I achieved peak mobility aid today when I transported my electric wheelchair on my e-trike so I could *finally* enjoy Halifax’s Public Gardens.

"I don’t know the moment it happened; it must’ve been a slow realization. ‘My bike is my mobility aid’." Great article from @bikehfxlobby.bsky.social published In Active Travel Studies activetravelstudies.org/article/id/1...
