“Historians call this passageway a masterwork of deliberate concealment, designed to be absolutely invisible to slave catchers or city marshals during the 19th-century”

This video is from the CBC, the Canadian Broadcasting Company. Will be very interesting to see if NBC plays this in prime time tonight and acknowledges the enormous anti-Vance reaction...

“13 men on the field”😬 Georgia Dems use former UT coach Derek Dooley’s abysmal coaching at @utknoxville against him as he tries to run against @ossoff.senate.gov

what a beautiful idea for a coffee shop

“Basically, what we are finding is that people hate AI.” As Firefox pushes AI on its users, Vivaldi does the complete opposite. Even more reason to try it.

I quite enjoyed Agatha Christie’s Seven Dials on Netflix. Mia McKenna-Bruce carries the show with cheeky charm and pugnacious energy. Martin Freeman and Helena Bonham Carter are also substantial.

We see it.

Is it possible to follow @fintwitter.bsky.social and not be driven insane due to repetition and inanity?

Epstein-Barr Virus #EBV was linked to #MultipleSclerosis - now a plausible cause has been found, misidentification by longterm memory T-cells that pick on the wrong protein, ANO2, instead of the EBV-antigen. Massive inflection towards the elimination of MS!!! 🧪🧠Cell www.cell.com/cell/fulltex...

The college football portal/NIL situation sucks but it's hilarious how mad it makes Georgia, LSU and Alabama fans. They're so used to their boosters cheating so their schools could dominate. Someone moved their cheese.

Cam Coleman to the Texas Longhorns is confirmed.

Fort Collins right now.

Get yourself a good backscratcher and an orthopedic foot roller #lifeadvice

I love this article. It explains so much. It's been amazing to see what a tiny bakery -- The Bread Chic in Fort Collins -- has done in a region that has none of the typical advantages for making GREAT BREAD. TY @tineywristwatch.bsky.social

Denver airport seems insanely chill and uncrowded for 21 December at 1:30. Druver pulled right up to the curb. Security clearance in a minute and the Polaris lounge is sleepy.

Microsoft keeps airing big flashy commercials showing people using Copilot on Windows to do all kinds of things... and we keep making @superantonio64.bsky.social test those exact prompts and discovering nothing actually works www.theverge.com/report/84705...

Colorado regulators want rules in place to shield ordinary household and business customers from getting stuck paying for increased generating and transmission capacity.

This is the worst selection committee we've ever had. Cannot believe Alabama didn't even drop one spot after the SEC title game blowout. Cannot believe they waited until the final reveal to flip Miami-ND. Could have done it at ANY point.

My sister, who's heading to the Denver airport tomorrow, typically dresses like a 10 year-old going to a slumber party. If anyone's going to get sent home from the airport for dressing like a slob, it will be her.

Did the DOJ's demand for technology companies to remove immigration tracking apps come with implicit threats? EFF is suing to find out. www.eff.org/press/relea...

What a fucked up world it is.

Everone excited for the OPEC nations to own a good-sized chunk of US media?

Did you know gov shutdowns aren’t in the Constitution, any law, or Court ruling? They exist because of a 1980 OLC memo—a lawyer’s opinion that everyone just went along with. Before 1980, funding gaps didn’t cause shutdowns. What one memo created, another can undo. How the next D admin can undo it:

Meta earns $3.5 billion every six months from showing Faceboon and Instagram users 15 billion “higher legal risk” scam ad impressions a day, internal documents state. That haul vastly exceeds how much the company expects regulators To fine it for running scam ads. www.reuters.com/investigatio...

50 yrs ago, 90% of women in Iceland went on strike. No cooking, cleaning or childcare. Schools closed. Flights grounded. Men stayed home or took kids to work. Today Iceland has smallest gender pay gap in the world & tough equal pay laws. @josiecox.bsky.social www.thepersistent.com/50-years-ice...

Re the shutdown, this is one of those moments when it's crystal clear who's fighting for whom: econjared.substack.com/p/breaking-n...

The feel-good story of 2025

"It is much easier to buy a gun in Indiana than in Illinois, so a large percentage of guns used in Illinois come from Indiana. In fact, the number of firearms seized in Illinois that originated in that state is remarkably low compared to other states."

So sad to hear of the death of Jane Goodall, who made such a difference to so many around the world. A moment we will always treasure: Nine years ago, when two honorary-degree recipients from the University of Redlands were Jane Goodall, and Deborah Fallows.

The battle to keep Wikipedia decent, accurate and accountable is here.

Very informative 🧵

Maybe more of a pregnant pause?
