This was far more nuanced than I expected. But also, I *totally* get why people hate AI.

Congrats to team USA, but can we fucking dispense with the 3-on-3 OT format?

20 more minutes to figure out who's going to the cottage.

Massive PK for the US there. May be the pivotal moment in this game.

This is fucking infuriating.

I don’t really know what I expect in posting this, but maybe some people see it and can learn from it. I’ll call it “lessons from an unwilling immigration attorney.” 1/

February 12 was once a very important date in the Black community. At least for the 75 years after Emancipation. Frederick Douglass called him "emphatically the Black man's president." Sojourner Truth said "I was never treated by anyone with more kindness & cordiality than by Abraham Lincoln." 🧵

Go Hawks

And yet these morons will continue voting for him. Smdh

fellow engineers, you really need to start asking yourself some questions when building something: 1. how will the police use what i'm making? 2. what kinds of people are the police going to use it against? 3. how many people will be harmed in silence before we find out?

Huh. Why Google maps sucks for cyclists.

You don’t have to share trumps racist posts. Not about the superbowl. Not about anything. We could join truth social if we wanted. We’re here though.

Me: "It's actually a cute story - we got married in an ice cream store where they made us our own flavour". Him: "Nice. We got married at the Bad Bunny Superbowl". Me: "You mean, you proposed, like, up on the JumboTron?" Him: "uh....not exactly.."

I'm seeing a lot of speculation that the kid Bad Bunny gave his Grammy to was Liam, of "5-year-old in the bunny hat put into detention by ICE" Minnesota Liam. King shit, if true.

My God, we had to take square dancing in middle school when we could have been celebrating life like this. Make it mandatory. If America won't give PR full rights, maybe they'll vote to join Canada? (if, of course, they don't choose to go it alone).

I defy you to watch this (or at least the last 5 minutes) and not tear up. Magnificent.

Ivey showing as #23 on the scoreboard tonight. Pretty sure Chicago retired that number. #Raptors

Find the answer by using the @kenwhite.bsky.social principle. Works with most things but it was literally made for this moment.

There's an important perspective we don't see well represented that reconceptualizes many pathologies of American politics in terms of elites. Consider Fox News. One way to understand its effect is as mass persuasion; it feeds RW narratives to the masses. But what if its effect is mainly on elites?

This guy is so effortlessly reminding people what governance by people who love their constituency looks like. If only Chow could communicate like this (and be as ambitious). #TOPoli

He couldn't organize a KISS residency?

@ekoreen.bsky.social @jlewenberg.bsky.social @blakemurphy.bsky.social Do you know if there's any sort of organized effort to show the Timberwolves some love on the 4th because of, you know, Minnesota? Solidarity? Tribute to Alex Pretti and Renee Good? #Raptors

Rest in Peace Alex Jeffrey Pretti🙏🏾 The VA ICU Nurses send him off right 💔

One little thing you can do if you’re feeling helpless tonight: throw a few bucks to the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota. They’re reportedly stretched thin for obvious reasons and could use some help if you can offer it. www.ilcm.org?ref=badfaith...

I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

Yeah, there's gonna be a 2:00AM tantrum on Truth Social about this, for sure. Had to be said, tho'.

The good news is that Mamdani is going to make every kidnap bus free.

Worth every second

Best TikTok thing going is the two dudes trying food from every country without leaving NYC. If you haven’t seen them yet, it’s incredible. My favorite so far is last week’s. Legit got me emotional.

Amanda Gorman wrote this poem for Renee Good and that’s it for me tonight.

Planners should have to design cities from behind a Rawlsian veil of ignorance. That is to say: the planner will have to live in the city they design, but they don't know *where* in the city.

Canadian government officials, what are you still doing on X in 2026? By Jimmy Thomson Opinion January 2nd 2026 www.nationalobserver.com/2026/01/02/o...

This, by @anamariecox.bsky.social on the OU essay, is very, very good. youtu.be/GvCmeuJyT9g?...

These are amazing. #Raptors #NBASky #NBA

Fuck Doug Ford and his cronies.

I recently found an old CD I burned of the first season of "An American in Canada', and now I'm desperate to find season 2 because I can't remember what happened.

This is incredible.

just learned we won an award for our blog post about Tom Holland and stormwater management. remember, when you see an article about stormwater management, you repost it. i don’t make the rules.

The only bad union is a police union.

Well-played, sir.

Every office has an executive tier whose emails are like: saw on news , , can we replce complianc dept with web 3 and a worker tier whose emails are like: Dear Jim, First of all, I *love* this idea! Unfortunately, I spoke with Legal and identified a few issues with this approach. For starters…

Man, this is cool.

Dubin?

I think this captures quite well how many Dems are feeling today. The party is going to have to be dragged into this century, and this moment. And it can't just happen during elections.

Spot on!
