What people don't get is the fact that a retired person with the resources to rage against their city council person has WAY more local power than a big Chicago developer. The real dichotomy is "people who already own homes here" vs "people who rent or want to own"

Humanity envies bears because while both species enjoy kicking back and having a snack, only the bear gets to take a long nap. The bear is free in ways man can never be.

A Super El Niño is approaching, potentially the strongest El Niño we’ve seen in a century, and Trump is proposing to cut weather agency NOAA by 26 percent to save money for taxpayers Meanwhile the amount it’s proposing to cut from NOAA is equivalent to 1.3 days of taxpayer spending on the Iran war

I don’t know what else to tell you, but if you have any interest whatsoever in the betterment of society and supporting artists you like you should delete your Spotify account. There are so many options there’s really no excuse anymore.

It's extremely important that you stop what you're doing and watch Widow's Bay immediately

Doing a little research for a script and this "how to use a mortuary fridge" video really cracked me up

🤷‍♂️

Okay I came up with a very loose treatment last night and now I really am serious about this

Mortal Kombat Fallout The Last Of Us It's time Let me write a dark cinematic adaptation of Ski Free

This was the logic she used when she paused congestion pricing, nearly killing it for a generation or more.

this is basically every blue city - despite crime being at generational lows - leaving no ability to fund needed programs

this (columbo nuzzling into my neck) would fix me

Yeah man all my friends in bands say things are going awesome, it's never been better

Short race? Hard age limits? Maybe elections should operate by Kentucky Derby rules from now on

Trees that survived L.A.'s wildfires are dying at alarming rate. Can they be saved?

[Blanche DuBois voice] I've always relied on the kindness of morally depraved lobbyists

The economics are brutal. Anywhere that a litre of diesel costs more than 10 kilowatt-hours of electricity, an EV truck pays for itself in 12-14 months. After that, it will be more profitable than diesel every single month: www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

Going Dublin-mode with all my reading before my trip in 2 weeks. Plz recommend contemporary lit-fic set in the Dublin area. Erin go Bragh, folks!

— Fashion is a feminine coded interest and thus considered frivolous, whereas masculine-coded interests, such as architecture, are considered "serious." Doesn't matter if a tremendous amount of skilled labor or creativity went into making something, such as the handmade lace or shoulder line below.

Think about how many stories & headlines you've seen about small modular reactors (which still don't exist commercially) and how they can be 'manufactured' at scale. Now think about how many stories you have NOT seen about the small modular energy manufacturing juggernaut that's actually happening.

Extremely important and good news!!!! www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/f...

A reminder that some of these AI-gen posts are still getting a LOT of engagement on Facebook. Meta is doing nothing to block them - and, as a result, a lot of people are being duped and manipulated. Here's a new one that is very popular already

Something extraordinary – yet predictable – has happened over recent days on Facebook. Fake accounts that usually post anti-immigrant and anti-Muslim content generated using AI to fuel division and hate in UK are now pushing out AI-gen content asking: "Should the UK produce its own fuel again?"

Damn the trailer for Is God Is whips

Now when Adam Silver and Steve Ballmer call @pablo.show a "Podcaster" to be derogatory they have to preface it with"pulitzer winning"

IT’S STAR WARS DAY SO YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS

Extremely strong start to the Met Gala

If the Democrats let Republicans have this INSANELY easy W, I am going to be apoplectic. This shit polls like chlamydia. Get on the other side of it now and be loud about it.

Showing, once again, that conservatism is not about fiscal responsibility but rather about puritanical ideology.

Who would even design a castle like this?

"The American car industry decided they would go all in on oversized gas vehicles and then immediately got owned by oil prices rising" is the kind of thing that's understandable if it happened once but like,,,, this is the third time

Donald Trump's green new deal My latest column for @financialtimes.com: The US president has inadvertently raised the appeal of renewable energy across the world: as.ft.com/r/ac96a71b-a...

Every splashy New York Times profile of a right wing influencer.

every photo of this guy looks like one of those bunker holograms from death stranding

I've come full circle on these and decided that actually they're cool

76ers staff working on Embiid every timeout

Don’t want to get too race science-y but I don’t even think the yellow m&m and the green m&m could produce a viable offspring together. Mule type situation, best case

graphcel poasters like me: there is no omnicause that combines us imperialist atrocities abroad with cost of living issues at home; in general american hegemony serves the material interests of the electorate, so . . . Trump: AT LONG LAST I HAVE INVENTED OMNICAUSE, THE WAR CRIME THAT MAKES YOU POOR

Advertising famously doesn't work for McDonald's

Okay, I'll bite. We don't allow cigarette advertising anymore. Is that "meaningless virtue signaling" or has it been part of a wider and more effective campaign to reduce the appeal of smoking? Advertising works, otherwise corporations wouldn't spend billions on it.
