Do you think if this asshole was Mayor somewhere he would ruin the municipal water supply?

Looking forward to the Fox News segment that explains how this is different from Mamdani’s city-run grocery stores.

Reuters confirms. 11 more people captured by ICE have been sent to a maximum security prison in Eswatini (formerly Swaziland), a country where they have no ties and committed no crimes. reut.rs/4wpbIGU

We have been saying this for years: building housing close to jobs, services, and schools is one of the best pro-environment actions out there

Republican midterm message: 🙀 Communism bad 🫵 Govt dictating prices good

1. The Pentagon has refused to provide an accurate accounting of the costs of the Iran War, so Popular Information crunched the numbers. The DIRECT COSTS are at least $103 BILLION in the first 120 days. This is $73 billion more than the latest official estimate.

Trump: "We had 11 missiles shot by the Islamic Republic of Japan"

If you've been laid off from games/tech, consider the local property assessor's office - Office near you almost anywhere in USA - GIS/coders in demand, gamedev/tech skills translate well - Better job security - Field is desperate for talent - Pay not astronomical but gamedev wasn't either

Sarah Mansfield MP has made a little book about The Very Hungry Data Centre

Wildlife crossings--bridges connecting wildlife habitats over roads, providing safe passageway for wildlife--are having a moment. Their growing popularity comes down to the evidence of their effectiveness at preventing collisions, and saving lives. I speak with @bengoldfarb.bsky.social about it:

Great opportunity to provide input on automated traffic enforcement (speed and red light cameras)

One of the first things Facebook’s algorithm showed me today was this propaganda post by Patriot Front. It’s not just that FB is platforming fascists. They are algorithmically PROMOTING and amplifying them.

What kind of sociopath has EVER looked at a PDF document and said to themselves, "This could be a podcast?"

THE US HAVING A WHITES-ONLY REFUGEE POLICY SHOULD BE A MUCH BIGGER STORY

Take the survey and let the City know you want automated traffic enforcement!

Reupping our support for Automated Enforcement as the city has now opened up a survey for you to share your thoughts. Help us create an equitable rollout that protects all road users! Please take the survey: www.cityofrochester.gov/departments/...

USMNT is touched by the syphilitic hand of Trump and loses the Mandate of Heaven

US team getting worked so far

thank you FIFA for somehow allowing me to write about *different* corrupt judicial body granting an emergency petition from Donald Trump ballsandstrikes.org/law-politics...

State party leadership calls for Platner to drop out.

I have edited a lot of sexual-assault-accusation articles, and this one easily clears every veracity check: contemporaneous emails with her therapist, a boyfriend who knew, a woman she warned—all before Platner ran for office. Good on Politico for nailing it, and on Jenny Racicot for speaking up.

In case you needed an excuse to read that book you like to your baby.

Great reporting on this perspective in Science: www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... 1. Risks of ultra-processed foods are likely caused by their differences in specific nutritional properties, not in being 'processed' 2. 'Ultra-processed' miscategorizes many healthy + sustainable plant-based products

Rochester man sues over ICE agents threatening his speech. In this country, we're allowed to harshly criticize our government.

This is a felony assault by agents of the state.

How much revenue and service impact would this have on RTS if this money instead went to them?

Trump is now using his platform to attack kindergarteners because they are Muslim

Rahm Emmanuel, considered one of the most pro Israel members of the Obama admin and a 2028 presidential candidate, is going to deliver a speech on Wednesday where he will call for an end to all taxpayer funded aid to Israel and sanctions on people, banks and companies engaged in settlement activity.

The have reversed the logic of democracy: they are no longer accountable to us; we are accountable to them

"Effects emerged quickly and show little evidence of displacement to adjacent areas.... These findings suggest that cost-benefit analyses of congestion pricing systematically understate net social benefits by omitting emergency response improvements."

It’s been six months since the killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti. Here is how the federal government has stonewalled investigations, and how Minnesota law enforcement is attempting to push for accountability anyway

Good news: We can tell you how much the globe will warm if we continue to burn fossil fuels and emit CO₂ at an alarming rate. Bad news: We’re terrible at telling you how bad the impacts will be, and they’re consistently worse than we predicted.

That is quite the chart. New record highs are being set at 4x the rate of new record lows -- www.bloomberg.com/graphics/202...

Looking extremely alive, sir.

Congestion pricing improves EMS response time.

"In nearly every state, the official humanities nonprofits created by a congress to help make history and literature accessible to all Americans had to give up their 250th anniversary planning when DOGE pulled their federal funding..." www.notus.org/agencies/dog...

If the USMNT has any success from this point on, it just seems like it comes with an asterisk, sadly.

Paine was also an early — maybe the first! — Land Value Tax Guy en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agraria...

May one be pardon’d and retain th’ offense? In the corrupted currents of this world Offense’s gilded hand may shove by justice

Trump called Infantino on Wednesday to get Balogun's red card lifted. Nice to ride alon with Tyler Pager on what will be seen (and is) in many parts as one of the biggest scandals in World Cup history. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/05/u...

I say we consider yesterday America’s 250th conception day, and celebrate it’s 250th birthday on the anniversary the Constitution in 12 years. Fuck Trump for taking something that should have been great, and making it about himself - the worst, most corrupt, most divisive president in our history.

This has been the most spiritually bankrupt celebration of anything I've ever seen and that's it, that's our 250th. We don't get to go back and redo it, this one's in the books: Temu Arch, cheesy architecture, horrible displays, AI everywhere. Far right propaganda. Jokes at our expense

glad congress isn’t alive to see this

season 5 is a little weak, but the wire closes absolutely strong. easily one of the great works of american fiction and maybe the greatest work of fiction about an american city

I have such an expertly curated algorithm that I'm seeing posts from Mexican street food restaurants in the US and this is how they're advertising the game tomorrow night. "Good vibes"
