The One Tweet To Rule Them All will be trenchant forevermore. This is our curse.

in the late 2000s people used to say "the Internet is forever" meaning online evidence of wrongdoing never fades, but that turned out to be very wrong. this shit is mad ephemeral. I executed a family of six with a claw hammer in 2013 and there's no evidence because I uploaded the vid in flash player

I'm not posting Odyssey memes because one must be wary of GIFs bearing Greeks.

Thinking about getting into this World Cup show everybody's been talking about. No spoilers!

As a newcomer, this feels entirely accurate.

congratulations to Spain on (confused scrolling) winning the most Democratic delegates in Maine

Since France was eliminated from the World Cup, it’s time to also eliminate the French language pack from your Linux distro sudo rm -fr /*

Turns out the real World Cup was all the Pausas De Hidratacíon you took along the way.

I just had this same experience walking down King St.

dawg the brazilians are calling it asfaltos unidos in the QTs we're getting cooked

Could Excel be conscious? We surveyed more than Jan 1 1900 people to find out.

Alexandria spotted!

Trump's corruption is about to be supercharged. Unless we stop it. The CLARITY Act is moving, and it's time to sound the alarm before it's too late.

What 'moderation' really means is adopting the views of a very small group of loud, centrist writers and their big business backers, and is increasingly out of step with (a) the big problems in the US and (b) the polling on what Americans say are the biggest problems they want government to fix.

See, this is why I don't like Mark Warner. The Republican Party has been on an inexorable path towards this end for my entire life. The best thing we can do to the Republican Party is grind it into dust.

Where did the bike, er, bus lane hurt you?

Montclair. My dudes. bsky.app/profile/nanc...

wait they named their horse “Journalism”? so he could take the lede? win by a hed?

If you listen closely, you can hear an entire generation of latchkey kids sighing in unison.

I feel like @rathjen.us will recognize this.

"Write all your articles about today’s extreme weather using only the knowledge someone who hasn’t heard the phrase “climate crisis” would bring to it. Turn your intentional omission of pertinent facts into a fun writing exercise!"

5 tips for reporting on unprecedented weather without mentioning climate change

Hm. Hadn't noticed that before.

New: Late last night, Taylor Farms quietly posted an official recall notice We now know that the parasite-linked iceberg lettuce was shipped to Walmart & food distributors in 27 (!) states It was for some reason still being sent out up until Thursday July 16 www.consumerreports.org/health/food-...

culture war is evolving to a strange place. went to a craft night and the conversation went from discussing witchcraft (as though it were real) to disparaging antivaxxers within like five minutes. one woman, my new hero, blurted out "they lobotomized the wrong kennedy"

Living without a car in much of America sucks. Given that, there are two options: 1. Give everyone a car (which will increase traffic and emissions) 2. Make it suck less to get around without a car (which will decrease traffic and emissions) I don't know about you, but #2 seems better.

Not loving the amount of thunder I'm hearing. I mean, I enjoy a good thunderstorm as much as the next guy but I'd rather not be *in* it.

Pretty sure Aragorn was talking to Frodo, not the bus, but... you do you, @dashbusva.bsky.social

Farmer's market, then Majestic Lounge Not Restaurant for a noonish meetup. Come on by!

It's pretty unpleasant out there, what with the smoke and the sticky gross sauna weather. Glad The People's Limo is air conditioned!

When journalists asked me "where we will see the effects of DOGE on outcomes?" one of my responses was "during crises...as long as media connect the dots." Well, dots connected: www.wired.com/story/cdc-cy...

I wish that Ottawa would reject that chain.

All I'm saying is: never say never.

Climate change has dried out Canada’s forests so dramatically over the past decade, Gray said, that once an arboreal fire starts, it creates its own weather system and generates lightning within it. Fire crews can’t even get close to the source of these fires b/c they’re too hot. Terrifying stuff.

Ottawa: I'm just saying, this is possible.

Today, I provided feedback on an environmental review for widening Interstate 95 to add HOT lanes in Virginia and like WTF are we doing? We cannot breathe the air without inhaling wildfire smoke from global warming. This is almost a decade after state study found that more lanes in I-95 is pointless

Alright, where should I get dinner tonight in Old Town?

It's a bit different than I remember (it's smoky).

The Taco Bell finger pointing is a psyop to redirect attention from the real culprit, the deregulation and lack of oversight in our food supply

I don't know if it was the worst -- that's probably Rise of Skywalker, but I've mostly blocked that from memory -- but I remember falling asleep during Firebirds with Nicholas Cage as an AH-64 pilot.

"Pat King, a key figure in the 2022 convoy protests, will be re-sentenced after the Ontario Court of Appeal sided with Crown prosecutors who argued his original punishment was too lenient." That's some justice you don't see everyday. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Things that will do the opposite of improving traffic downtown: Making it easier to drive downtown. Providing more parking downtown.

Just landed at Dulles. I'm glad to see my comfort smoke arrived ahead of me and is already installed. I feel like I never left Ottawa!

Dang they really got a category for everything

a) ossoff's whole "bring it, dipshit" attitude is exactly the right response to trump's election shenanigans b) good lord has he ever leveled up as a political communicator, I continue to think he's a very serious 2028 contender if he wants it

from tonight's CDC update:

Bigotry is a good way to depress turnout.

"Bolsonaro has begun a twenty-seven-year prison sentence for his role in January 8, while the instigator of January 6 sits in the Oval Office...Should we in the United States try a Brazilian strategy?" spoiler: I answer yes. me, for @bostonreview.bsky.social www.bostonreview.net/articles/tru...
