This project seems to be replacing parking with housing. Good priorities.

TIL I learned Malay slang for "bigot": "nazi goreng" which is a pun on "fried rice."

Never mind memory and storage, computing itself has become absurdly cheap. Disposable vapes contain CPUs that are comparable in power to the PC and Mac CPUs of the 90s.

I am now 100% for the wealth tax, no further details needed. Thank you for alerting me through the mail, thoughtful citizen!

The most American thing about me is that I love a Burger King breakfast croissant. Which I can no longer eat because milk proteins make me sick. 😮‍💨

I suppose Bacon is right about Platner withdrawing being a bad idea. But FFS, this isn't a centrist-vs-leftists thing. This is about the dude's character. In any case, a prerequisite to him winning in November is him growing the fuck up. Don't coddle him.

Border psychology also being an issue in the US, I have to give it a listen.

wtf is this gross “smoothgroin” shit, idc about platner this is just incel talk from a prominent “leftwing” journalist

Note that 2️⃣ was entirely a DOGE thing.

Sigh. Now we have to hope that (a) Maine voters will overlook all his problematic behavior AND (b) he doesn't turn out to be another Fetterman. I'm not optimistic about either one.

Everybody should be so lucky with their neighbors.

If sexual abuse was really considered a terrible thing, the world's richest and most powerful people wouldn't be abusers. The most valued technology wouldn't produce sexual abuse on demand. And allegations of abuse wouldn't be framed as positive depictions of masculinity. Our culture rewards abuse.

None of us has to like this state of affairs, but it is where we're at right now as a country, and wasting your time and energy addressing election denialism to conservatives actually obscures the core issue that these people don't think we're all entitled to participate in democracy

AND HE STOLE A CAKE! Every time somebody talk about how evil Ken Paxton is, I will think of that cake and laugh. I mean anybody can be evil, but few can be so petty evil.

Drone attacks by Mexican cartels? WTAF is this the first I've heard of them?

Little kids tooling around on their little bikes in the middle of one of the biggest cities on the planet? Works for me.

Not that we need more evidence of genocidal intent to recognise what we are seeing. But deliberately shooting children? That's about as clear as it gets. #Gaza www.volkskrant.nl/kijkverder/v...

The US has been writing Israel a moral blank check for decades, and the Israeli Right cannot imagine that ever changing. It's not just Bibi — there's huge block of Blood and Soil Zionists who have no moral boundaries. I hate to imagine what will happen to Israel when the US finally pulls the plug.

On Oregon’s McKenzie River, an unprecedented approach to river restoration is taking shape.

This makes me think of Anthony Trollope's only science fiction novel The Fixed Period, written in 1882 and set in 1980. Of course he gets absolutely nothing right (cricket is played with a "steam bowler"), but it's a fun read.

All of a sudden, I'm thinking of the restaurant scene from Being John Malkovich.

Nothing says Reality Dysfunction like people denying a murder that was committed *on* *camera* with the killer smirking as he did it.

We all think this was great: A reporter finally pushing back. Trump flailing and quitting. A clear picture of a corrupt and weak leader for all to see. But if you watch to the end, it's clear Welker viewed it as a failure because she angered her subject, may lose access and embarrassed the network.

My latest books cartoon for @theguardian.com

seeing how much bigger Catturd's footprint is than Fox News here says it all

That's a very Fred Rogers thing to do.

Interesting that there are still a lot of cars. They just don't dominate the streetscape the way they do in most cities.

I have to wonder how much of this is just New Yorkers internalizing Mamdani's relentlessly positive vibe.

I mean. Our entire set of current conundrums right now from top to bottom is largely a result of a violent rejection of the idea that white men should be judged by the content of their characters.

TV miniseries about the live of Robert Smalls. There's a lot of story to tell: his life as an enslaved maritime worker, the plot to steal the CSS Planter and use it sail the crew and their families to freedom, his service to the Union navy, his role as a community leader 1/

And of course Marie Gluesenkamp Perez is one of the four. She's such a disappointment.

I see some Platner defenders saying his critics are “centrists afraid of his leftism,” & others saying critics are “lefties applying a purity test.” There are no doubt some of both. There are also those of us who just think he’s a dishonest creep with no evidence of solid convictions.

If the Nobel committee won’t give Trump the Peace Prize for ending the most number of wars… maybe they’ll give it to him for ending one war the most number of times.

As I was saying.

Part of Platner’s defense is that nobody confronted him about his tattoo. That is at so weird because at most weddings people just line up to pick a fight with the big shirtless drunk man with a Nazi tattoo who likes to talk about his guns and killing people.

If you really care about defeating fascism, you have to care about women. And goodnight.

Which would be a problem even if they could magically excludes abusive dudes like Swalwell and Platner. The Party is *broken*.

Note that his opponent once stole a cake.

“There may be.” FFS. Forget the flags. I have a literal masters degree in public health, I’m an actual union leader (in my second term as chapter president,) I’m a college professor, and a reproductive health advocate. And people are quibbling over if he abused his exes enough to be disqualifying.

I’ve been in the I don’t trust the dude with the Nazi tattoo since the beginning and people were like oooooh but the alternative was Susan Collins or Janet Mills dummy. No the alternative is the party cultivating talent and doing capacity building

It's past time for Graham Platner to withdraw from the Maine US Senate race. Repost if you agree plz. @grahamformaine.bsky.social

OK, just graduated from "Platner is an asshole, I hope he doesn't turn into another Fetterman" to "Who the actual fuck is still pretending he's still a viable candidate?" This isn't a red flag, it's a fucking track torpedo. I wouldn't vote for a violent misogynist like this under any circumstances.

Had a shrink who insisted that the distinction between psychopathy and sociopathy is just so much BS.

i know i know but what the fuck is up with this guys obsession with coal
