To the @washingtonpost.com reporters, editors and data journalists who had the courage to publish this, I salute you. Alas I still subscribe on the cheap for the graphics and my data viz students. You are why I do wapo.st/48nkqMN

“You want a career in this economy? Learn to WRITE VERSE!”

The Border Patrol is running a probably illegal dragnet using hidden license plate readers and other sketchy methods to track drivers on “suspicious” trips, sometimes beyond their jurisdiction. Amazing report by @apnews.com @thegarance.bsky.social Byron Tau apnews.com/article/immi...

For Utah communities trying hard to conserve water, ripping up lawns is a start. But bigger infrastructure debt looms in the form of *wooden pipelines* and that takes millions. Glad to work with @davidcondos.bsky.social and @kuer.org on this excellent feature. www.kuer.org/science-envi...

This is insane

Looks like BBC firing top execs is backfiring as it makes it look like he has a case against them SMH www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

So… lemme guess… reopening the government doesn’t necessarily mean the House sits again anytime soon?

And bless Canada for respecting the right=blue paradigm observed by *most* industrialized democracies

“ACTUALLY, Amarillo means yellow” I’ll see myself out

The resource curse is real and the US is not immune to it.

This is just so so so wrong people.

Some pungent science writing in this article “a meat-lover's pizza and a cola could combine to create a double brain-bomb.”

Today years old when I learned premiums go up by age

Take it easy, Aldo Leopold. “Landscaping restoration” I’d more like it, to be generous

A word that can refer to a monk, a monkey or a coffee drink. Impressive.

I kind of wish Lyft was on here so I could tell them this was another time I took the bus because their fare quote was ridiculous

ALWAYS keep a backup

Love this so much. What do you mean by “tall?” Cartographers find an analogue to statisticians breaking “average” into mean median mode std dev. “Measures of elevation tendency”

I should probably watch the original first, but I strongly suspect Ridley Scott’s 1492: THE CONQUEST OF PARADISE (199-you-know-what) is due for a remake. Columbus didn’t do PG-13 conquests #columbusday #indigenouspeoplesday

Belated Tumblr idea: Political barns

What The Hell Is Going On, a thread: I’ve seen some thinkpieces and posts about Portland protests that fail to understand the long-term hyperspecificity of Portland culture/humor, and frame it as a sort of shitposting meme-pilled ironic thing. Which is wrong. So I’m gonna give you my breakdown.

If that’s a Mercedes G wagon I can actually say one good thing about all this— the only possible reason to drive one is if you are invading something

Bad Bunny was born in Puerto Rico, which is part of the United States. Ted Cruz was born in Canada. Bad Bunny is eligible to run for president because he’s a natural born citizen. Ted Cruz is not. Thought that was a fun little fact.

I think we should have a residency requirement for prison owners. They have to live upstairs from the business

NEW: After paying for hotel rooms to shelter homeless people, Seattle deliberately left them vacant. By the end of 2024, taxpayers were spending $4,200 a month per empty room at a time when thousands of residents were without a roof over their heads.

In baseball why do they call it a walk when they could call it a ball four declaration?

This. How can we market vehicles that are basically surface to surface missiles?

These documents are absolute crazy talk and also proof that the Foundation embodies Hate, not Heritage

Data scientist or… data SPYentist?

Appreciate the spirit and the message from these NY State ads — empathy for addicts — but why use creepy AI models to support the argument?

Love you folks but couldn’t resist

Let’s have a 24 hour moment of silence from everybody

A “deal.” Are we taking hostages like Putin now?

Guess this old story about the Roundup and the Sublette Examiner is finally overtaken by events. Very sad that Roundup was doing well hope it gets rescued www.hcn.org/articles/rur...

The CIA governor uses secrecy to obscure black sites - now inside the US

On track to triple

Hey #JFKAirport Airtrain price cut 50% to $4.25? Is this the @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social effect already???

STUDENT LOAM REPAYMENT? For ICE???

If you think I've forgotten about the hurricane satellites, think again. The Navy is permanently unplugging them this week, on the brink of the busiest stretch of the season. There's so much more to this story, and I have the latest scoop. ⬇️

For folks who are thinking about induction cooking, I recommend starting with an induction hotplate, which are like $65 at Ikea or wherever. Most people are really happy with the cooking experience and often move half or more of their cooking to induction, even with just one "burner" available.
