Funny (not really) how few articles about heat and drought forcing the cancellation of Independence Day celebrations mention the culpability of the fossil-fuel industry

They're the same guys

Zohran just gave his 4th of July speech and I watched with Atty and just a generational orator with an amazing speechwriting staff

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.

I can’t believe I missed this. They doubled down! www.theguardian.com/books/2026/j...

Zapp's and Dirty potato chips are being recalled for salmonella contamination. This is a Class 1 recall, the most serious. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

It a sad reminder about the world that every World Cup ad is for assholes

this guy has it

I know what 104.2F and humid feels like. I have no reference point for what “feels like” 118.3F

Greatest mayor ever

Ad Rock: you can disagree with the current All: POPE MCA: but if you push his buttons then you’re a All: DOPE Mike D: ordain yourself a bishop and you’re All: SCHISMATIC Ad Rock: excommunication is All: AUTOMATIC

Your two options in American politics are the "let's raise taxes and give rural America subsidies" party and the "let's cut taxes and give it all to billionaires" party. I think it would be neat if there were a "raise taxes and invest in urban areas" option!

I got a free 45W solar panel with purchase of a new UPS battery and I just plugged it in and my brain is exploding that it’s absorbing as much electricity for free as my kid's iPad charger is using.

This joke never gets old

9:58 am and I'm already out of steam

my 13 years at bandcamp are coming to an end - i’ve been laid off along with most of the remaining engineers. best job i’ve ever had, working with the best people you could ever work with. unceremonious end to quite a ride.

Getting 32,000 pounds of gravel really makes you think about how heavy stuff is.

The fundamental test of birthright citizenship is this: if someone illegally trafficked people to this country and forced them into bondage and then those people had children, would those children have rights to object to continued servitude? If you answer isn't "yes, they have rights" you lose.

1979 Iran hostage crisis but just price collusion on eggs.

Per last repost, I do think that in the US a lot of people, like a LOT of people, do not realize that if a birth certificate is no longer proof of citizenship then most of us have no proof of citizenship. At all.

"This sort of shit should not happen" is a good response, though, tbh

Seething rn tbh

I don't have many words about the ruling on trans sports. As a trans athlete it feels both very personal & very distant at the same time. The dagger for me are all the beautiful trans girls who are continually made the target of grown people and how they are being forced to hide from public life.

I'm so thankful to Becky and her mom for their trust, generosity, and strength in front of the Supreme Court. No matter what the Court says, Becky is a hero for standing up for herself and trans girls like her. Doing what's right, even when the odds are against you, is the definition of courage.

The thing you need to understand is that there are 2 (TWO) different method for amending the constitution 1) The process laid out in the constititon itself (conventions, or 2/3's of both houses followed by 3/4 of states ratifying) OR 2) find five votes on the Supreme Court.

Cool that we got a whole anti-pope schism brewing. No big deal.

The art direction of Back To The Future 2 oversold the aesthetics of Biff's presidency.

Someone please come up with a catchy "If the Klein be Naomi ... If the Klein be Ezra ..."

So it’s come out that Mulvad VPN has been funding the Swedish Nazi party Örebo. I’m immediately canceling my vpn and if anyone has any suggestions for a good non Nazi flavored vpn I would love to hear it. Also willing to pay for a subscription.

The new Peter Chang restaurant faked an additional $10 tip on my Friday meal and I'm livid.

3/And as much, I would like Supreme Court reform, that will only be possible with a Democratic Trifecta. The Supreme Court has become a tool of the Republican minority like gerrymandering, the filibuster, and refusal to uphold the Voting Rights Act.

solidarity to everyone finding out that Mercury's retrograde rn

Caught up on all the World Cup and wow yeah what a Monday

You’d think with $1.776 billion dollars in slush fund they could pay some people to come to their state fair larp

The Supreme Court affirmed that the Trump regime is an imperial presidency.

Cory Walmart Booker has no juice

But at least we can gamble about it

I’m torn about the awful Kids Online Safety Act because on one hand it’s an egregious overreach and will be implemented in 1000 terrible ways, and on the other hand people are saying it will destroy the internet.

Hey y'all, putting out the bat signal: I'm looking for full-time, part-time, or contract work in product design or frontend development. ("Design engineering" if you're trendy.) Over a decade of experience building design systems for startups, healthcare, civic tech + more. ky.fyi

It’s weird to be clearly living through exactly what was warned about with global warming and still have the concept treated as a future event or hypothetical.
