Northern Europe needs AC and the US needs European windows and passive cooling tech.

Again, for those in the back, the solution to bad drivers is automated enforcement, suspending licenses, and building alternatives to driving (in that order)

How about Jared Golden? Yeah progs hate him but he has won with exactly the people whom Platner *thinks* he appeals too without ever being an abusive jerk, and he’ll be about 6000x better than Collins.

This is both an astute observation but also the Red Card on Balogun was baloney.

For 250 years America has been the shining city on a hill. Though tarnished & dimmed, I still believe that we can burnish & reignite the flames of democracy & freedom such that we strive towards that more perfect union. And f**k Trump and Maga. Reconstruction 2.0 baybee! Kill the slave power!

Please just kill me. That’s all I want.

Remember folks, it’s Cape Verd (no “ay” at the end). I think I should start making kale soup.

Really wishing Id gone to the Cape Verdean Club off of Sandwich road for the watch party right now.

a related thing to cheering for the USMNT is the 250 shitshow in DC; i'm not going to feel terribly humiliated as an american by this because trump and his morons stomped all over plans that had been in place for a decade at the last second and ruined the whole thing. that's on them.

I'll summarize this: Mamdani asked NYers to keep air conditioning at 78 degrees. A wave criticism hit online. A MSNBC broadcast pointed out the US Department of Energy recommends that 78 degree figure. Immediately after, the US Department of Energy deleted 6,000 web pages related to energy saving.

Happy “liberal arts professor helps save the Union” day to all who celebrate

In many ways, North America (Canada included) has one of the harshest climates around. Not that many places can experience hurricanes, violent hailstorms, winter temperatures below -20°F and summer heat indices >100°F in a single year. Out west or in Canada, substitute hurricanes w/ wildfires.

Oh they scared about Texas

As your President, I promise to eliminate the National Debt by (1) seizing all fortunates greater than $1 billion and (2) charging $20 a pop to take a sledgehammer to all of Trump tacky-ass shit.

TMZ DC with perhaps the most brutal video from Trump's Great American State Fair, showing Dr. Oz on stage bragging to Dean Cain about how big the crowd is, only for the reporter to pan around and show absolutely nobody is there. Original post: x.com/i/status/207...

American farmers sitting on 6 zillion tons of soybeans they can’t sell bc of Trump’s tariff war with China hearing about how the US will buy Iranian soybeans: “Yup, he definitely is guy.”

Okay this entire thread is insane. Just…wow. The brainworms some people have to defend racism but “leftistly”.

I have achieved a level of dad that is nirvana: grilling steak and veggies while drinking beer on a perfect Sunday evening.

Father John Misty: You and your friends still drop Mr. Show references to each other over text. You haven’t had as many Zoom calls with them as you all said you wanted to have. You’ll inevitably watch any movie The Rock is in. Kayaks.

You can always tell who remembers pre-ACA healthcare and who doesn’t by this dismissive attitude towards Obama and Obamacare.

The thing is these players make me proud to be American, not our pedophile President and his band of knockoff Nazis

The three players in this photo: 1. Nigerian heritage, grew up in England, and is only a citizen thanks to birthright citizenship. 2. Born + raised in Holland, has a dad who immigrated to the US from Suriname. 3. Said he wanted to “make people who look like me proud” while playing on Juneteenth

To add another layer this dude bribed Jim Traficant which is quite…just read the wiki on Traficant en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_T...

Just ask my girlfriend. She lives in Canada.

Dear fellow men, here is a list of ways to express gender w/o Gender: spend too much time on lawncare; buy a smoker and smoke meats; debate craft IPAs; go hunting or fishing; be able to step in as your favorite football team’s DC; read books about WWII. See - lots of ways to be male w/o Being Male.

Idiots, the lot of them. You don’t win by playing defense and on the enemy”s terrain. Attack attack attack. The GOP is full of corrupt pedophiles. Easy to frame an argument “your calling me a socialist? Better a socialist than a pedo.”

Dear John Roberts, You have destroyed the legitimacy of the institution you claim to care about. But you never really did, did you. Your just a modern day planter pissed you can’t own people anymore. Just be warned - we will not make the same mistakes in Reconstruction 2.0.

nyti.ms/4vhRdvm (Also the price tag is incorrect - that is the entire 10 year grant, not a single year. It’s really ~$40 million a year, which is pennies)

Also USMCA killed the sub-compact market - the thin margins on cars like the Honda Fit meant that they didn’t have enough US components to qualify and got hit with a 25% tarriff, obliterating their profitability.

So, there is a voting tool that actually gets around people’s stupidity and ignorance and produces relatively accurate results. Pioneered for CFB rankings, it’s the Max Diff ranking system.

Pope Leo’s greatest theological training came not at Seminary or at the Vatican but by growing up as a White Sox Fan.

so, this is deeply, deeply horrifying thedreydossier.substack.com/p/i-found-a-...

Something, something, only Nixon could go to China, etc.

Dunking on these people is important bc when you think the party that sponsors the John Lewis Voting Rights Act is equivalent to the party that gutted the VRA and wiped out black representation in the South, you are g-dd*mn idiot.

I learned today that “Try a new food, it might taste good” is fascist apologia, apparently.

Progressive motor vehicle weight excise tax. You tax cars at $1.00/lb up to 3500 lbs (the cutoff for sedans) and $2.50/lb above 3500 lbs. DAdd in a 500lb battery exemption and you’ve bullseyed big truck owners.

I initially read this as “Trump on massive life support” only to have my hopes dashed.

It’s not too late to deliver on the promise of 40 acres and a mule is it? Because the South sure are acting like they didn’t lose the war.

Alien Ant Farm’s cover of Smooth Criminal is way way way better than it has any right to be

Dear GOP, this is fantastic advertising for “Trump accounts”. Please keep talking about getting rid of Social Security. That is really popular, especially amongst your base.

I really like the way he sums up the NIMBY's credo as "“They’re afraid of sharing a zip code with people who don’t share their tax bracket. It’s the craziest thing” "https://www.bostonglobe.com/2026/05/06/business/marblehead-town-meeting-video-about-housing/

i thought it was really dumb when he got drunk, tried to fight the cyclops and started shouting “yankees sack” repeatedly

So kids can’t get a vaccine that prevents cancer but can give themselves skin cancer? Do I have that right?

No matter how much you hate them, it’s not even a fraction of the utter contempt they hold for you.

The iron-ish law of YIMBYism: Markets that spend decades below 6% rental vacancy are almost always expensive. Markets that maintain healthy vacancy rates are usually cheap

Should we all smoke cigarettes again? How about no.

The behavior of the tech oligarchs (and other billionaires too, excepting Cuban/Prtizker/Steyer) has moved me from a “wealth taxes are a bad and inefficient way to raise revenue” to “they have too much money and it needs to be taken from them - for their and our own good”

I think the even more frustrating thing is we’ve all but eliminated pestilence (thank you vaccines and public health) and famine (thank you industrial farming) but we put people in place determined to tear down those achievements.

@dieworkwear.bsky.social Had a great Twitter thread on this back in the day.
