Just finished repairing my LMB brass Mohawk! This is my first time running a brass locomotive, and I really think it's worth it. The texture, roughness, and luster of the material makes the model feel so much more accurate. That's why I'm running it with authentic wooden box cars.

Have we considered the problem with TV theme songs nowadays is that they aren't minute-long introductions and show explanations.

One of these is not the same. "Recount familiar partisan complaints"

9. We MAY get a CR that is "clean" with no anti-trans provisions in it, but don't prematurely celebrate if we do because that is NOT the real fight. That would be "we've extended our negotiations for another month or two while we hammer out what's in the final bill."

1. There's a lot of confusion about this out there. Let me make it easier: There are two ways to keep the government open: The full FY26 appropriations bill for the entire year, and a continuing resolution to keep it open for a few months at current levels. Both are part of negotiations right now.

People of Illinois, we need your help. Get your cell phones out – record what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors. We need to let the world know this is happening – and that we won’t stand for it.

Excellent reporting from Heated and Atmos. It looks like some of the biggest investors in the anti-trans movement are fossil fuel billionaires who are trying to use trans issues to ensure that Republicans pass policies favorable to their industry. heated.world/p/fossil-fue...

Shelby County, where Musk’s xAI facility sits, has Tennessee’s highest rate of ER visits for asthma. For the majority-Black residents of the area, emissions from the company’s methane gas turbines exacerbate longstanding public health concerns. By @wendicthomas.bsky.social

Christian persecution in America is best defined by this image: No actual struggle, wearing clothes that cost more than my entire wardrobe, polished cross instead of rugged, and surrounded by crowds of fellow hypocrites cheering on bigotry who believe they're the victims.

we should embed prestige journalists in randomly-selected communities and workplaces around the country for a few months at a time the way the bush people attached them to infantry units during Iraq

Only 1 person in the whole study went from identifying as trans to not identifying as trans. The 1/5 number came from youth going between the binary and non-binary spectrum. This headline and post are misleading on purpose to fit the economist's editorial bent on the political issue.

Even as Trump tries to destroy the NYT, their writers are still trying to help him with their "analysis"

Earlier this year, ProPublica found that the sepsis rate in second-trimester pregnancy loss hospitalizations increased by more than 50% under Texas’ abortion ban. Here’s how we did our analysis. (Published Feb. 2025)

What’s more astonishing: 1) that the president clearly believes, and repeatedly suggests, that asylum seekers are people from mental asylums, or 2) that no journalist has ever challenged him on this and no mainstream media outlets have done any deep dives on this story?

Awful and dangerous to hear the Mayor echo the transphobic bigotry coming from the Trump administration. It's completely at odds with the values of our city and another reason why his single, disgraced term in office cannot end soon enough.

I could use some trans joy at this moment. What's good in you all's lives?

Whether it’s Fox News’s Brian Kilmeade advocating killing homeless people by “involuntary lethal injection” or MSNBC’s Matthew Dowd bringing up things that Charlie Kirk said, both networks have crossed the boundaries of decency.

The psychic wound establishment figures felt from "cancel culture" -- that brief, nightmarish moment when the hoi polloi were freely talking back to them -- so cosmically exceeds the size & impact of the phenomenon itself that pretty much only psychological explanations are sufficient.

There has been a rush among centrists like Gavin Newsom and Ezra Klein to brush over the hateful life of Charlie Kirk and valorize the man. Let me be clear, killing Charlie Kirk was wrong and abhorrent. We must condemn murder without sanitizing a man who built his empire on hate. My latest piece.

hi, cis folks! if you said you’d stand with trans people, we need you now. the FY26 budget bill gets a vote by 9/30. the GOP wants to jam a ban on federal funding for ALL health services that provide trans care for ANY AGE. we need you to call senators: reps.fyi more info & script downthread.🧵

I thought about this again & again during Covid. I genuinely think that the reactionaries who lost their f'ing minds when public health officials tried to persuade them to help others would have behaved better, been happier & more content, if the gov't had simply forced them.

Strong people, powerful people, people high in the hierarchy, simply implement their will by force. Others do what they say because they are scared not to. The very fact that you're trying to persuade is evidence that *you lack the strength to impose your will*. Cuck behavior.

If there's one thing I wish I could get every earnest liberal to understand, it's that, from the point of view of an authoritarian psychology, efforts to persuade, to "reach out" & "find common ground," are *viewed as evidence of weakness*.

show your wife how you made ice cream down in flanders

Reminds me of an old grim joke. A child in Poland is found murdered. The terrified Jewish community fasts and prays in the synagogue because they know a murdered child usually sparks a pogrom. Then a man runs into the synagogue and says “Great news! The dead child is Jewish!”

- you clean up that banksy? - sure did, your honour, leaving a perfect, permanent outline, imbuing the work with real fuckin gravitas while making its point better than the artist did himself just like you asked

A new mural by elusive street artist Banksy showing a judge beating an unarmed protester with a gavel will be removed from a wall outside one of London’s most iconic courts, authorities said Monday.

Real Estate: House With Cool Turret Thing

I would be happy if I never heard the name Graham Linehan again, but I do feel the need to comment, because the nature of a lot of the abuse trans people receive is straight up sexual harassment, but is not recognized as such because the victim is trans. What Glinner is doing is sexual harassment.

This would not be exceptionally difficult to do. They could get HHS to declare people with gender dysphoria as "mentally incompetent" under 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(4) and federally funded providers to report all patients with such diagnosis to the NICS database to disqualify gun ownership.

DOJ is openly stating that "trannies shouldn't have guns." The Trump administration is moving to strip trans people of their 2nd amendment rights. Nothing good ever comes out of an authoritarian regime stripping a minority group of owning guns.

Oh look. When you fight instead of capitulating, you can have your funding restored.

1. Yesterday, Democratic Congressman Ro Khanna defended Graham Linehan, who was arrested in the United Kingdom after calling for the assault of trans women in bathrooms. Rep. Khanna called the arrest "an offense to anyone who supports free speech" on twitter. Subscribe to support our journalism.
