I quickly recognized that this kid was one of the smart ones. Here's Mr Jennings's kind, gentle, and concise takedown of Doomerism.

Today was one of the shortest days, but it ended beautifully.

We just drove alongside this former Tesla driver in Cambridge.

It has arrived. Thanks, Dan / Tom! @tomtomorrow.bsky.social

We asked activists from authoritarian regimes what they wish they’d known sooner. Here’s what they said www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

EU’s Top Court Just Made It Literally Impossible To Run A User-Generated Content Platform Legally The Court of Justice of the EU—likely without realizing it—just completely shit the bed and made it effectively impossible to run any website in the entirety of the EU that hosts user-generated…

We are spending a few days wandering around the New York City Hellscape.

The dooming on this site is getting out of control. Every time you post anything about politics some rando condescendingly wonders how you can't possibly know that elections are over and all hope is lost. If you've completely lost hope, I'm sorry, but shut the fuck up, OK? You're not helping.

Congrats to the class of '77. I was a hopeless Red Sox fan starting with their playoff run in '75, and remember the Blue Jays and Mariners showing up in the league together. Now "the new kids" will battle for a spot in the World Series.

It’s important to flood social media and news channels with news about how ICE lies, so that potential jurors see it.

E-bikes are an absolute game-changer in terms of giving more people the option of going car-light or car-free, but adoption is threatened by the ongoing moral panic. As the article notes, the solution is not restrictions on e-bikes, but creating more infrastructure to support e-bike riders. 1/2

the president of the united states wants to use the american military to kill american citizens on american soil. that's the whole story!

NEW: The SEC quietly dismissed complaints against 3 people who were granted clemency by Trump for frauds that collectively bilked victims out of hundreds of millions of dollars. Now, Devon Archer, Trevor Milton & Carlos Watson won't have to pay any money that could be used to make victims whole.

last night as i was trying to wind down for bed i had a unified theory of what the fuck just happened, and i wrote it down, and filed it under "well, i can't talk about this on main without sounding insane until and unless the perp gets caught and is provably a groyper" anyways, great news! (1/X)

Quite the amazing sky show in the Boston area this evening.

Updated track for Hurricane Erin!

Challenge: post your last photo taken in DC to show what a hellhole it is.

Amazing coverage of multi-billion dollar Medicare fraud and abuse, directly connected to multi-million dollar donation's to Trump's SuperPAC.

I was with my family, enjoying a burger and a Heady Topper at a farm-to-table pub in Burlington Vermont. We were sitting at a window table watching the streetscape when Bernie Sanders walked by, practically within arms reach, chatting with another gentleman (possibly his son.)

Last week, the State Department published a Substack post accusing European allies of destroying democracy. I looked into the author, and found out that he was a disciple of Adrian Vermeule who believed in infiltrating the bureaucracy to undermine liberalism www.vox.com/on-the-right...

Does Kristi Noem ask Corey Lewandowski permission before she quotes him?

STOP: Don’t panic–organize! @thefreeradical.org and I consulted for weeks with experts about the bill attacking Medicaid for trans people. We find that advocates can still kill the bill or mitigate its impacts through direct action and community solidarity. 🧵👇🏽 www.madycast.com/p/dont-panic...

The New Bedford Light has more detailed reporting on this. This story should be everywhere. Fucking gestapo shit.

this is Mohsen Mahdawi, the green card holder who was just arrested by ICE for rendition at his citizenship interview

In the early 20th century, anti-tax GOPers tried to appease progressive Republicans by passing a corporate income tax, incorrectly predicting it would be so unpopular as to quell the growing income tax movement. This wasn’t their last miscalculation. By @jeisinger.bsky.social

Having spent a few decades in tech and having worked next to a bucket of these dudes, I wish I'd found more clever ways to counter their self-indulgent beliefs.

Implication: Equity advocates should demand automatic traffic enforcement.

I have no patience for this temporizing. People are being summarily shipped off into slavery in central america under the imprimatur of the US government right now. Canada—Canada!—is putting itself on a war footing. We’ve been off the map and in uncharted territory for the last 250 miles.

Is Google actually mistaken, or did DOGE shut down couple lunar cycles?

As my friend @drshepherd2013.bsky.social says, asking why we need a National Weather Service when we have apps and the Weather Channel is like asking why we need potato farmers when we can buy fries at McDonalds.

Be a shame if all those "wasteful and useless public workers" stopped providing water and sewer and sanitation services to the capitol and white house. Think of all the money the City of Washington, DC would save! I mean, it would restore civilization, right?

"An extinction-level event." A thread on some critical pieces of democracy being destroyed by Trump and Musk.

So now Harvard is afraid that hearing from the victims of aggression is too "one-sided?" www.thecrimson.com/article/2025...

Time to engage.

Do not fucking do this, do not open your phone for the police, you will be giving them the right to look at everything on your phone.

This is the kind of lawlessness that is just getting started.
