As I always do with boycotts, I urge: be tough with corporations, gentle with individual buyers. For some people, Black Friday sales are the way they get their kids jackets that fit, shoes that hold up to the weather. Yelling at them doesn’t help the cause.

India's olive ridley turtle numbers appear to have rebounded after years of patchwork efforts to stem their decline. Can it last? n.pr/4p0igIV

Straight-up sociopath. Asked about a Guard member who’s dead because of his bullshit and it takes him 30 seconds to make it all about how great he is.

It’s getting real for Home Depot. The flash mob is only the warm up, the nationwide boycott hits on November 27th. Chant: “Tax the rich tax, the motherf*cking rich.”

After a successful petition drive, the city of #Salina, #Kansas, will hold a mail-only special election in February 2026 to decide whether to repeal their pit bull ban. Please remember to vote if you live in Salina! #endbsl #pittsky www.ksn.com/news/state-r...

Unbelievable. Very few things piss me off more than anti-vax morons killing their children.

Bolsonaro is what happens when six Supreme Court justices aren't co-conspirators.

Prosecutors in California used A.I. to argue that a 57-year-old man should be held without bail, his lawyers say, filing a brief that included wholesale misinterpretations of the law, as well as quotations that do not actually appear in the cited texts. nyti.ms/3M1bVye

Just because Trump brought RFK Jr. aboard to firm up the kook vote doesn't mean health writers have to keep looking for some kernel of truth in there somewhere.

We’re accepting applications for our (paid! remote!) summer internship! professors who follow me please share with any students interested in writing

The one issue DeSantis has consistently been really, truly good on is animal welfare. He ended the loophole that enabled Miami's former pit bull ban, strengthened laws against animal abusers, and now this. Otherwise, I loathe him, but for the animals he's been pretty good.

Go vegan and bankrupt them all.

The EPA will approve two new pesticides containing “forever chemicals” and relax a reporting rule for companies who make products with forever chemicals. The moves come after a $60 million lobbying blitz from the forever chemical industry. Where is the MAHA outcry?

SEN. KELLY : “They informed me of this in a tweet because this is not about the law. This is about the media cycle, and intimidation… We basically repeated the uniform code of military justice, and they're saying that's in violation of it. It's absurd. Comical.”

6 people have died from a nationwide listeria outbreak. 31 babies have been hospitalized with botulism from contaminated baby formula. Instead of firing crucial FDA employees & attacking the agency, Trump should be hiring more experts to crack down on these dangerous outbreaks.

As a survivor of the Tulsa Race Massacre, Viola Ford Fletcher bravely shared her story so that we’d never forget this painful part of our history. Michelle and I are grateful for her lifelong work to advance civil rights, and send our love to her family.

1/ THREAD: This year ICE has sent a record 600 immigrant kids into federal shelters, more than in the previous four years combined. Data suggests some are being separated from their families. For one 15-year-old, it began with a cracked windshield 👇

So happy to see how fast the TypeScript library simple-data-analysis has become for tabular and geospatial data! 🤩 It's now processing data 6x-12x faster than traditional R and Python solutions in my little test in which I crunched a 1.7 GB CSV file. 1/4 🧵

Ugh. Such bullshit. Get your nasty laws away from my body, Congress.

Too bad, because the science shows that the #Florida bear population has declined in the past 10 years so allowing a hunt now would be absolutely disastrous.

Can't exactly blame them, can you?

NEW: Senators have called for an investigation after a ProPublica story revealed that Kristi Noem-connected firm the Strategy Group was secretly hired as a subcontractor on a $220 million DHS ad campaign.

one of RFK Jr.'s main beefs seem to be that people involved with medicine sometimes materially benefit from their findings, but when his friends sell things like mercury eye drops or chakra-blasting lead pills, they are simply asked to get off the Walmart PA system

“Since the beginning of Trump’s second term, members of at least five formerly separated families have been removed from the U.S. against their will.” www.thecut.com/article/fami...

The biggest divide is not between “right” and “left." It’s between democracy and oligarchy. The billionaires who control our economy and democracy seek to divide us. They want us to turn on each other so we don't look up and see that they have all the wealth and power.

There's a reason why major social media platforms, including Twitter pre-Elon, spent time and resources on "countering foreign influence" or "coordinated inauthentic behavior." But then Tai bi, Shellenberger, Weiss, Benz, and Jordan showed up claiming that was the "censorship industrial complex"

Hey, immersive, larp, ARG, theater and game folks: I'm working on Immersipedia and I'm linking out to other design/knowledge wikis like the Puzzle Hunt wiki, Nordic Larp wiki and Game Detectives, plus the whole WikiBruce archive. Are there any others I should be including?

One thing I’ve been doing for a few years now in my workshop is teach companies that user stories (I want X, so I can Y, to achieve Z) are good for implementation only. Essentially: To see if it is implemented. But they’re good for nothing else! You cannot design a product through user stories.

NEW: ICE has finally released post-shutdown detention data. The latest data reveals that a full 40%(!) of people arrested in the interior and held in ICE detention have no criminal record; no criminal charges or prior convictions. That is up from just 4% when Trump took office.

Breaking: The House voted unanimously, 426-0, to strip a provision in the funding bill that allowed senators to sue the government for $500K if their phone data was searched without their knowledge. The provision was designed for GOP senators to sue over the Jack Smith investigation.
