This is another important message about the origin story of Thanksgiving. We should all watch this video, and think about what we really believe in: www.instagram.com/reel/DRgGZVZ...

That's 160F, so 71 in adult numbers. Which is real, real bad. Urban heat island effect has an enormous impact on the people and wildlife that live in the city. Sound design choices aren't just about aesthetics, and people really need to stop treating them like they are.

IMPORTANT: NASA map shows temperatures of up to 160 degrees on Phoenix streets & sidewalks. All that unrelenting concrete and asphalt for cars. Not nearly enough trees. They start with ridiculous heat that’s only getting worse with the #ClimateCrisis, and then make it much worse with bad design.

PSA:

Every single cabinet secretary of Trumpy’s administration is focused ON THE THINGS THAT SHOULD NOT BE FOCUSED ON

Yes, that’s exactly what the secretary of transportation for the United States should be concerned with. Snacks 🙄

HOLY MOLY, is Zohran gonna have the urban planning and policy making DREAM TEAM??? I am following this for sure! www.instagram.com/reel/DRfy6Hh...

The stock market's gains are being overwhelmingly driven by seven Big Tech companies who have invested heavily in AI, which has made tech oligarchs even wealthier. But when that AI bubble bursts, the rest of us will be stuck holding the bag. Be warned.

And why did the federal government not go after unpaid taxes by the rich, first, before slashing a ton of beneficial programs for everyone else?

Lots of acting talent among them. Grosse Pointe Blank is another fine '90s movie that could use more love.

ねぇねぇ、アメリカに住んでいる日本人の皆様にお聞きします。 感謝祭って、祝う価値がほとんど無くなったと最近感じるんだけど、そう思わない？ 周りの人たちが祝ってても、だよ。 アメリカ在住歴が長くなるにつれて、どんどんその思いが強くなるのは、自分だけかな？

I 100% agree that there are much better things we each could be doing than expressing performative thanks while hoarding a high cholesterol+high carbon footprint meal and wasting time watching a staged set of war simulation games on TV. The world is NOT fine. What will we all do instead?

This snapshot in history is unprecedented. But I’m so inspired by the millions of Americans standing up and pushing back against authoritarianism. #removetheregime

What’s just absolutely astonishing about this current federal administration is that they are openly saying that they are breaking the law and also want other around them to break the law. Has there ever been a federal administration in the US to go THIS FAR in calling for unlawful activity?

Other authoritarian dictator wannabes in this world, you have been warned:

Really feeling stressed by what I’m reading about this upcoming flu season 😵‍💫 If you or your kids are not yet vaccinated it’s definitely not too late!! If you are an HCW remember to bring it up with all your patients!

UBI can’t be delivered soon enough to millions of Americans:

This is what cultural erosion looks like. This country is getting stripped of its diversity in all dimensions of society: ethnic, intellectual, linguistic, race, gender, economic, and identity all up. The US is headed in the wrong direction. www.instagram.com/reel/DRexyb9...

If this federal government can illegally extradite US citizens for no reason, tell military service people to follow illegal orders, defund Medicaid/Social Security and demolish the East Wing without consultation, this just sounds to me that the FBI is complicit in the cover up:

The "DOGE is gone" articles are clickbait but this one gets it closer to the truth: DOGE is not gone, it just claims to have "no centralized leadership" anymore -- in other words, its leadership is hiding in an attempt to avoid blame.

Pamela Jo has until December 20th to release the Epstein files. She must include explanations for everything she redacts or withholds.

Hello network. This is real shit. I’m looking for transgender, nonbinary, or gender nonconforming front and back end web designers for a project to help trans people get housing in NJ. This is a paid opportunity. Please share this if you see it, and my DMs are open for more information. Tysm 🩵🩷🤍🩷🩵

He is so used to doing this by now, more so than any POTUS ever in the nearly 250 year history of the US

🚨BREAKING: The FBI has requested interviews with a group of Democratic lawmakers who reminded U.S. military and intelligence service members in a video last week that they are obligated to refuse illegal orders. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Good thing there wasn’t a corrupt Big Ozone able to prevent this recovery from happening, or a corrupt president in the pocket of Big Ozone pretending the problem wasn’t real.

I did not know this, but it explains so much

I see comments about method acting 🎭 😂 I say it isn’t acting at all then It’s just being yourself in front of a camera …which is also cool because not everyone does that well! (Guilty as charged ✋🏻)

A few of my classmates in our transpo class are doing a project on VisionZero in that area so I am gonna share this. I think reducing VMT must be coupled with a clear mode shift choice. (I assume the Rapid Ride R line was also mentioned during the feedback process.)

Why are we assuming that we want to maintain car volumes? To meet our climate, public health and road safety goals as a city, there is no reason any on or off ramp in #Seattle should require multiple lanes. #Rainier If you want to be angry, watch (starts at 1:05): youtu.be/Lr-C4k0EEf4?...

I interviewed Chris about Admin Night. We have more tech in our lives, but has it made our lives simpler or easier? The fact that human beings are organizing in-person parties to solve basic administrative tasks surely tells us that tech has failed us. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/aint-no-pa...

There are people who, when they become uncontrollably scared, will use whatever means to eliminate their fear. Instead of finding common ground and collaborating. Every single one of us probably fall into this trap, more often than we realize. Where do we all go wrong?

It is so frustrating to be verbally abused repeatedly and to be told that my outbursts of frustration are offensive and threatening

"This year, a Bloomberg News analysis found that roughly “two-thirds of new data centers built or in development since 2022 are in places already gripped by high levels of water stress.”

🤔なんだって？日本版？ やめてよー、そっくりそのまま真似するのは。国民の皆様がまた嫌がり反発しますよー

If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?

Some estimates say 30–50% of GDP growth this year is just AI spend. Strip out AI and data centers and business investment is flat, commercial construction is shrinking, and the only real bright spot is the AI boom which, so far, seems great for GDP and bad for workers.

PUNCHBOWL: “.. GOP members messaged us over the weekend saying that they, too, are considering retiring in the middle of the term. Here’s one particularly exercised senior House Republican: @punchbowlnews.bsky.social

…in which the chief red button pusher himself just undermined the investigation that his department of war is about to start

Canada's newest refugee , at least she'll be welcomed here we will return her when and if America gets back to normal !!! 🙊🙉🙈

Creating Freedom Movements made a beautiful post honoring Alice Wong, whose impact on our lives, communities, spirits, & Disability Justice is as powerful as it is immeasurable as co-founder of Crips for eSims for Gaza, she asked for support here: chuffed.org/project/crip... rest in power, alice ✊

In the top 25 percentile so I count that as a win 🏆

An entire administration filled with hollow idiots.

Real Japanese American 1st world problems. We also need a pan big enough to pan fry ALL 100 at once.

It’s not that Senator Kelly said anything that was illegal. It’s whether the Pentagon can manage to convince the court that dissent in military ranks is illegal. STOP THIS SENSELESS FASCISM! DO NOT CREATE A DANGEROUS PRECEDENT!!!

Mitchell v. Harmony, 54 U.S. 115, 137 (1854): "[U]pon principle, independent of the weight of judicial decision, it can never be maintained that a military officer can justify himself for doing an unlawful act by producing the order of his superior. The order may palliate, but it cannot justify."
