Obsidian is an inferior material to chert for projectile points and is terrible to work with.

"Personalized pricing" is just information asymmetry in a bow tie.

The cost of your flight went up because you searched for it twice. Your rideshare costs more because your phone battery is dying. This is surveillance pricing – corporations using your own data and behaviors against you. In the US Senate, I’ve got plan to ban it.

@radiofreetom.bsky.social Is this fascism yet?

You could say that Rock n Roll was born 111 years ago today in Arkansas, but probably not where you'd think. Before there was a Chuck Berry or Little Richard, there was those who wanted to be like her. Rosetta Nubin better known as Sister Rosetta Tharpe, the godmother of Rock was born on this day

They could’ve funded ACA subsidies for a full year. Instead, they burned $24B in 16 days and risked decades of terrorist blowback on U.S. soil.

it's cool when a legal thing happens because lawyers will quote a transcript with HOLY SHIT THE JUDGE BODIED HIM and the transcript will be like "there appear to be irregularities in counsel's filing"

Things I have said to my toddler...

Jesus. F*cking. Christ.

Using the draw knife on an oak stave to make a bow, plus a photobomb from the middle kid.

In a nation ruled by supremacy and all its many sabotages of the public good, every act of repair is a defiant act. *Every* act of repair is a defiant act.

I don't know who any of these people are so I can only assume many grunts were flipped.

Year 1 data on congestion pricing in Manhattan… * Vehicle traffic: -11% * Foot traffic: +3.4% * Storefront vacancy: -0.9% * Pollution: -22% * Revenue for mass transit: $548M So YES this has been a huge success.

Fair use.

women are always saying “lord grant me the confidence of a mediocre man.” ok well he did. now what. is the world a better place? look at what you’ve wrought.

I wanted to share probably the most important sermon I’ve given and it’s while I’m being arrested. It’s torture pure and simple what happens at #Broadview. I’m ok, though I was thrown to the ground and choked with my pectoral cross. A review of the video shows I was peaceful - did I deserve this?

@neguse.house.gov gives a lesson on how to reframe a journalist’s stupid question about #SNAP! 💪🏼

Tin foil hat time: I think ending SNAP benefits, increasing healthcare costs, and a gov't shutdown with missed paychecks are all intentional. These, along with an increasingly aggressive policing posture, are intended to create civil unrest. Their cruelty and desire for power know no bounds.

How is this not an SNL skit yet, where the reporters report the sky is blue, water is wet, and Johnson just denies it all.

Elites do not care about “democracy” except inasmuch as they support any system of social organization in which they personally are elites. Now that they’ve figured out they can maintain their elevated status without democracy, they will all shrug and go about their frictionless lives.

Me, normalizing drinking gravy by the mug.

So here's the thing about that...they did Not very long ago Turned out well www.thenation.com/article/soci...

Legacy media: "Is the Democrat trans agenda harming America's soybean farmers?" Chait, Klein, et al., you all sound just like this.

Things here are not great but someone tell Dave Chapelle that so far, no one has been dismembered with a chain saw for speaking truth to power against the regime. www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/general...

Washington Post dismantled the platform Jamal wrote on. Discarded the fellowship they created in his memory. They fired me unjustly for speaking the truth. But I’ll never stop talking about my friend, writer, and amazing human, Jamal Khashoggi. RIP, Jamal. open.substack.com/pub/karenatt...

Enjoy some truth about the #TrumpShutdown @markwarner.bsky.social

Today’s news of a shooting in Grand Blanc, Michigan attacking the Latter-day Saints community during worship is devastating. Families deserve safety wherever they are, but being targeted while practicing one’s faith is especially horrific.

Also: when a government acts brutally and lawlessly and immorally, but tells you that pointing those things out incites violence and terrorism, that government and its agents are entitled to no respect or credence.

I know what it means to be shot in the head, to have doctors say survival is unlikely, and to fight for every step of recovery. Hearing that 12-year-old Sophia is healing is a miracle. I’m praying for her recovery and for the strength of her family 💜

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

Trump's masked Gestapo thugs are beating & kidnapping people indiscriminately. Some are documented immigrants, some are citizens! There's no due process, just cruelty. This 80yo heart patient/business owner was brutalized & detained. Talk to friends & Volunteer/donate: Stopelectionrigging.com

Where the separate divisions of ANTIFA landed on the beaches of Normandy on June 6, 1944:

New Mexico is set to become the first state to offer free universal childcare. The state's Democratic governor, Michelle Lujan Grisham, announced free childcare for all families, regardless of income, a move estimated to save families $12,000 per child each year.

Important set of analyses of the arms industry as a commercial determinant of health, which importantly draws out the parallels between the arms, tobacco, alcohol and other industries. Great work all

Relax everyone; he's molting.

Turns out some of the “we want small government” people kiiiinda wanted the government to be just one guy.

The greatest flaw in humanity is the refusal to listen to good advice.

Mamdani has a nearly 20 point lead over the rest of the field, but his poor showing with gay ultraorthodox baby boomers hints at political weakness.
