The FSU shooting in April was committed by a MAGA neo-Nazi but somehow has fallen off everyone's radar.

From Rasmus Jarlov, chair of Denmark’s Defence Committee:

Republican Sunday: YOU HAVE AWAKENED A DRAGON OF WHITE RAGE WE WILL SWIM IN THE BLOOD OF OUR TERRORIST ENEMIES AS THEIR CHILDREN WORK OUR SLAVE CANPS Republican Monday: we’re sweet widdle puddy tats what never hurted a fly and the mean man’s post fwightened us so bad we cwosed up our widdle eyes

Big Tech's embrace of President Trump has left many of us wondering: What the hell happened to Silicon Valley? In our new politics issue, we're getting into it. Also, we're taking this cover across the US in billboards, posters and a mural. Clues to find us in the 🧵: www.wired.com/politics-iss...

I found this video by @rationalityrules.bsky.social informative about what Charlie Kirk stood for. It's essentially just 13 minutes of Charlie himself explaining his views, but I am not sure most Europeans understand the nature of religious fundamentalism in the US.

I visited a house that produces more electricity than it uses. The owner says the remodel cost less than if he'd followed standard practices. I came away with five lessons and put them in an @npr.org story: www.npr.org/2025/09/20/n...

Dutch late night TV has its take

“ABC and CBS are making a serious miscalculation. Their servility to Trump will not earn them peace, only greater pressure.” That’s the German professional association of journalists, @djv.de, calling on major US media to support their journalists instead of preemptively silencing them.

Exactly this

You can say whatever you want! Anything at all as long as it’s not inciting violence. Anything that isn’t disrespectful of the dead. Anything that isn’t mean to the living president. Whatever you want! Anything whatsoever, as long as it’s exactly what conservatives want.

In 2019, I interviewed Charlie Kirk. I asked him about TPUSAs funding and he got mad and ended the interview. lyz.substack.com/p/the-day-i-...

"I can abhor the violence that took your life but I don't have to celebrate how you chose to live." Amen....

every “ancient tradition” was invented between 1848-1870 and every “modern perversion” is so ancient as to predate writing

"He did this all in a way that was often brutal and acidic to our politics, using insulting and sometimes dehumanizing language to describe his opponents and even creating a database of liberal academics for his followers to harass. We shouldn’t ignore that."

Mary Edwards Walker worked as a surgeon for the Union Army during the Civil War. She was captured by Confederates after crossing enemy lines to treat wounded civilians & arrested as a spy. She's the only woman to ever receive the Medal of Honor - pictured here, wearing it.

I'm frustrated bc I genuinely learn a lot from his podcasts and writing BUT he reminds me of Robert Frost's line that "a liberal is a man too broadminded to take his own side in a quarrel."

Ok, this is a helluva thing.

From me, a list of Trump supporters who killed, or tried to kill, Democrats and opponents of Trump in recent years (since the right are now claiming all the political violence is from the left!) Receipts: zeteo.com/p/charlie-ki...

Truth in advertising.

all those years of rw commentators complaining about cancellation, and here we are. what they disliked was being challenged or criticized for their views. this, by contrast, is a system where academics are being sanctioned for saying something that disagrees with the president. slow clap

The word is yummmy.

Really enjoyed this Articles of Interest episode on the history of zippers. IMO, this is the best clothing-related podcast. Smart, but accessible, and very engaging. New season coming Oct 22nd on how the military and outdoor industry shape what we wear. www.articlesofinterest.co/podcast/epis...

Quite a hot mic moment on CCTV in Beijing today as Putin and Xi, both 72 years old, are caught casually talking about living to 150 and maybe forever thanks to organ transplants. (As picked up by Bloomberg.)

in LOVE with the work of Brett Allen Johnson 😍

This week on Off Panel, it's the eighth annual Superhero State of the Union on the podcast, as comics critic @oliversava.bsky.social returns to the show to talk about a high time for DC, something else entirely for Marvel, and how we're feeling about superhero comics overall.

Okay. I just came back to this and you aren’t calling these efforts resegregation yet, you absolutely should be

remember folks, we cant have gun restrictions because if we do the federal government will occupy our streets, imprison people without due process, ship dissidents to foreign gulags and things of that nature

"Tao is one of the most prominent mathematicians and academics to publicly oppose the administration’s actions, calling them an “existential threat” to his field, and academic science, more broadly. He said public advocacy is a priority over his research, for now." www.nbcnews.com/science/scie...

Donald Trump has vowed to deport millions and jail his enemies. To carry out that agenda, his administration will exploit America’s digital surveillance machine. Here are steps you can take to evade it.

Insisting on expertise over ideology is not “politicizing” science. The ideologues installing scientific and governmental policy that is contradicted by evidence and data are. By emphasizing ideology over expertise, THEY have made arguing for expertise and evidence-based decision making partisan.

“We need a liberal Joe Rogan”

MAGA & their GOP allies are a bunch of racist triggered men-children running a national white race riot against systems that benefit people b/c they don't want a country that includes people who scare them b/c they are different. Tearing down the country like their racist forebears tore down Tulsa.

WATCH THIS: This is quite possibly still the most comprehensive interview I’ve ever done on smart urban transportation for better cities. Filmed in Vienna for a planned Paris-based documentary. Watch it, quote it, and please help spread it around. Thanks!

The lesson people should be learning is “Newsom is showing that this strategy is so effective that it works despite him being a piece of shit” and then demand that the non-piece of shit Dems use the same strategy instead of letting him be the lone voice.

Imagine being so unpopular a British pub picks no customers over you.

Like @dansavage.bsky.social often says, if clowns raped kids as often as Christians do, circuses would be illegal.

Still think families with kids don’t want to live downtown? They will, if you actually plan for them. Downtown Vancouver’s 3rd elementary school is opening this fall in Coal Harbour. 3 storeys, 340 capacity (should’ve been more), homes/daycare above. 7300+ kids (0-14) in downtown peninsula (2021).

One of the most common arguments you hear from fans of generative ‘AI’ is that it’s not plagiarizing people’s work, it’s just learning like a human learns. So I’m going to break down why that’s just not true, and why it can never be true, with the existing systems. 1/
