High speed EV chargers should look like this but instead of gas in the top it’s a cylindrical screen of a big battery filling up so that 1) it looks cool and 2) it’s *incredibly easy* to identify who is being a jerk at charging stations.

I will never get used to the disdain our country holds for brown and Black children. From Palestine to Iran to Sudan, we normalize the destruction of schools and hospitals and daycares. We reduce children to death tolls and their futures to rubble with no consequence or second thought.

Now that CNN and WBD are set to become state media in a sale to Paramount/Oracle/TikTok, it is especially important to support independent media. Off the top of my head: www.thehandbasket.co 404media.co www.garbageday.email Add your favorites in the replies. Fuck state-backed media monopolies.

To do this, anti-trans lawmakers in Kansas moved fast to change the law, overrode the governor’s veto, and pushed for the legal changes to go into effect nearly immediately. That kind of power—to void gender on official documents, to compel gender conformity—is terrifying and it will not stop here.

Very much not the point but listing sex at birth on a document meant to identify you right now is utterly useless from a security standpoint. but of course this is about cruelty and forced outing of queer private lives.

It is very hard not to have a safe choice to use the bathroom in public. It may be impossible to continue living, working, eating, etc without a valid driver's license if your life was built around driving and the assumption that your license wouldn't be invalidated overnight by the legislature.

There’s a particular candidate in the IL-9 race that seems to not do ANY of her own advertising, and yet this advertising is spamming my mailbox. Peculiar!

lmao democrats

The Sanitizer API landed in Firefox 148, along with element.setHTML(). This lets you fully configure how HTML strings are cleaned as they're parsed. hacks.mozilla.org/2026/02/good...

Stop giving the New York Times money.

Trans people for the past decade: This isn't actually about sports or ensuing there's appropriate screening before someone starts medically transitioning. The goal is to effectively criminalize the existence of all trans people. Very Reasonable Journalists: You're crazy

Oh boy, as a trans person, if this doesn't hit home right now

Music is great.

Gonna need my tariff refund stat thanks

hello yes i would like a shitty person to experience a consequence? idk man fucking any of them surprise me yes i'll hold

I love reporting political texts as spam.

Want to congratulate the engineer who thought it was a brilliant idea to serve Google Ads via random two word .com domain names. However, you did not consider my level of pettiness to block each and every single one at a DNS level as I come across them.

HOW is it news that some celebrity commented on an Olympic skier’s Instagram post? HOW?

Oh good, one more app to delete.

Pretty sure if your pee is yellow you’re supposed to drink water. Hope this helps!

We should be making more zim files methinks

Whenever we figure this place out I have a few demands outside of the more immediate and important ones: - use the green running man as our standardized exit sign - tv bugs in the top right or left - obviously more trains

Marimar Martinez, shot by federal agents in Chicago, testifying in Washington today:

DO YOUR DUTY, CHICAGO

sure they’re tear-gassing toddlers but what do the polls say

I love having a Mac with macOS Tahoe on it. Quick Look is broken, screenshotting is broken, things are randomly misaligned, and randomly it'll just start showing the spinning beach ball of death. Really cool!

The arrests of journalists Don Lemon and Georgia Fort are a test for every MSM member with a platform. If you are not voicing your outrage at this blatant violation of the First Amendment, you are utterly discredited as a journalist.

We had eradicated this disease. And now because of targeted disinformation, children, immunocompromised people, elderly folks, and so many others become victims in this proxy war and we have a new avoidable pandemic.

democracy dies in cowardice

If you’re a journalist on TV right now, use your fucking eyes and ears and words. Don’t let people pretend a public execution didn’t happen.

DOJ lies. DHS lies. ICE lies. That has been established. Do not repeat their claims as fact. Their claims are arguments or, often, misleading propaganda — when not outright lies. They are seeking to make a case for their lawlessness (and to please Trump), not seeking to inform.

Elected Dems are complicit. They’re still confirming Trump nominees and acting like strongly worded letters or calls for investigations mean anything. Senators have real power to obstruct business if they want to use it. Fucking use it. Pull all the levers. It’s only going to get worse from here.

Sooner or later the media is going to have to accept they are actively trying to tear the country apart, to start a war.

Feels good to not be scrolling and instead be adding ALPRs to OpenStreetMap.

I want to scream.

democrats are scared people will think theyre against this

bro there’s a gofundme to crowdfund attorney fees for a preschooler who was kidnapped by our federal government and shipped across state lines and his senator is posting about high school hockey while every other elected official is debating whether to give a zillion more dollars to the kidnappers

wow!

the dilberito: the blue jeans of food.

January 8th, 52ºF / 11ºC, flash flood warning and a thunderstorm. Definitely a thing I'd expect when I think of winter in Chicago.

Abolishing ICE is the moderate position.

Waking up to the news that the US has bombed Venezuela, kidnapped its president, and will now seek to decide its fate (i.e. “liberate” its natural resources). We don’t have money for basic infrastructure in our local communities, but we can always start new wars? Absolutely sickening.

I’m sorry what

Hey @govpritzker.illinois.gov @mikesimmonsil.bsky.social Illinois should have this :)
