This is a good article and I'm proud of @juliaangwin.com (whom I have known since college) for suing. (Gift link) www.nytimes.com/2026/03/13/o...

He could TACO on tariffs because you can more or less flip the switch. 20% on some country today, 10% tomorrow, back to normal the day after that. You can’t bomb a country ignite a regional war, spawn god knows how many terrorist actions, and then just turn that off and walk away.

In other words, we’re know you’re tired of hearing about COVID-19. We’re tired of hearing about it too. But ignoring it does not help it to go away, so please continue to take protect your health.

So many genAI “use cases” are better served by just not being fucking wastefully bad at your job

Gutters carry water. This is why we call these painted bike gutters and they're professionally bankrupt infrastructure design.

This is so accurate

We spoke to Black women who started the Target boycott & who sustained it for a yr+. They'll likely never go back. Teacher Laverne Mickens put it like this: “[Black women] will say if & when it’s over. And I can tell you right now: That will be the 15th of never ever.” 19thnews.org/2026/03/targ...

The SAVE plan, which allowed student loan borrowers to pay back their loans based on their income, is dead after the Trump administration refused to defend it in court. Now, monthly payments will spike by as much as 400%. Trump is making the affordability crisis worse by the day.

New Philosophy Tube drops on YouTube in a week. It’s a massive one about the history of conversion therapy from 1849-2026, as the British health service is bringing it back. You can see it now on Nebula, or if you’re a Patreon patron.

Guys please make sure you don't go to any theaters on March 27th, stay safe!

Huh. So it's unclear who's funding this campaign to pay influencers to attack Kat Abughazaleh. But the guy coordinating also has a company called Advocators AI, which just won an award for work for…Daniel Biss — her opponent. One of the campaigns the company boasts about promotes trips to Israel.

When I say I love the art of non-artists, they look at me like "you mean you think it's FUNNY." and I'm not denying that a lot of it IS funny but I genuinely love to see the decisions that people make who are not part of the art world, who don't have all our hang-ups. It leads to unique choices!!

If you think the far-right Israeli government is sitting around worried about what American Jews think about them you’re a ridiculous person. They don’t give a fuck about us or our opinions and they don’t even give a fuck about our money because they have MASSIVE $$$ coming from Christian Zionists

‘ "a debt of gratitude" was owed to the anonymous late collector, whose films - largely focused on his love of trains and canals, including hundreds of home videos - were donated to FIF after he died.’ I’m tearing up on the train. Thank goodness for nerds ✊

Why do we universally love photos like this? Because deep down, our brains are wired to crave human-scale spaces. We build 6-lane asphalt stroads, but our biology will never feel safe or invited next to speeding, multi-ton machines.

Norway is at ~100% EVs for new sales, but 7 out of every 10km driven in 2024 was reliant on fossil fuels. Cars stick around for decades - so change is slow. Protecting ppl from fossil fuel crises means EVs, yes, but *fast deep cuts* means huge $$ in public and active transport. Speed matters!

Daily bunny no.3256 is looking through the paperbacks

Painted bike lanes fail by design. If safety relies on driver compliance rather than physical barriers, it's not a bike lane, it's a loading zone. Protection induces demand. Paint does not.

He follows this up by saying "we want no transgender people". But hey. It's not a genocide, right? We're overreacting. Sure.

This administration is committing Watergate level crimes multiple times per week—and those are the ones we know about. It’s crazy to think about what else will come out after. It’s absolutely essential these criminals are held responsible for their crimes. We must end elite impunity.

problem is not even pokopia will get me to buy a switch 2.

Reminder

You cannot tell voters (accurately) this is a fascist regime that is hell bent on destroying us - let alone rely on it (as Dems are) as your GOTV while also voting yourselves to enable the regime.

At this point it's barely even a boycott, I've just stopped thinking of Target as a place to buy the things I used to buy at Target.

Mamdani is considering ending free street parking in NYC. This would be another huge boost to NYC residents' quality of life, reducing traffic in ways that would be comparable to congestion pricing. And it would be another step in ending suburban free-riding on NYC.

Trump ended the IRS Direct File program that allowed millions of taxpayers to file taxes for free. That happened after Intuit, the maker of TurboTax, lobbied the government to block the IRS from launching its own program. Intuit also donated $1 million to Trump’s inauguration. See how this works?

Democrats should demand a clawback of ICE's remaining OBBB money before agreeing to supplemental Pentagon funding.

Share of election spending by billionaires before Citizens United: 0.3% Share of election spending by billionaires in 2024: 19% It is not a coincidence that we're about to get our first trillionaire while working people struggle to afford rent, groceries, and healthcare.

we remain firmly on track for 'republican president leaves the country an omnishambles, next democratic president is punished for not cleaning it up fast enough'

Re supposed end of the Target boycott: it’s 100% bullshit. See statement below from an *actual* leader of the initial DEI boycott. Even if true (to repeat, it’s not!), it’s not up to any small group. Target has fixed nothing + compounded its DEI sins with ICE complicity. People are done with it!

We offered to fund TSA. No conditions. Republicans refused. They want the hostage, to extract more ICE money with. No ICE reforms

“Leaders of the Target boycott” dawg there were no leaders. Everyone just came to a consensus to not shop there.

What about the physical enormity of the US? Does that force people to drive more? No, it doesn't. Canada is an even more spacious country, and residents drive a lot less (and are <1/2 as likely to die in a crash).

Need some good news, Trans folx & our allies? IT'S. NEVER. OVER. We continue to fight.

I just want to point out that the same payment processors who hassle sex workers and erotica producers will gladly process any bets you want to make on war crimes.

You do not need the robots to creatively prompt you! Just try to take the most violent bite of yourself possible. Try to swallow yourself whole

There's a certain sub-genre of leftist who doesn't actually care about anything besides the aesthetic of leftism, and it's important to identify them early and stop listening to them. Fortunately, they're not overly difficult to identify.

they say the devil's at work, and █████ is callin' favors

this is also my ongoing frustration. you can not run for office on "democracy is under threat" and then lose and go "oh well, nice game everyone" they put us in a constant state of hypervigilance & terror begging for our last $5 to save the country and then they do the joint softball game.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHH

There has always been an argument to be made that the Disney Renaissance was literally just "Howard Ashman starts writing for Disney" and lasted exactly as long as he was alive with everything since then being photocopies of varying quality of the 2.5 films he managed to get out before dying of AIDS

It's looking increasingly like these guys thought that if they could wreak more death and destruction than the other side then they would be respected as strong powerful men and they would "win" and that would make them big important heroes. Very possibly they had no rationale deeper than that.

I feel some kind of way about people saying that we are docile cowards when we are being shot in the streets and teargassed on the regular and the response so many have is to figure out where they can go to add their bodies to the list of those willing to die to try to stop fascism from taking over.
