Has anyone hugged the Felon in Chief to help console him over the loss of the Noble Peace Prize?

My BiL seems quite content with it, voted for it three times.

The head of Vancouver’s transit agency can sum its ridership recovery in one word: Frequency. “Running the bus every 30 minutes isn’t going to cut it if you want to grow ridership.“ Many Vancouver 🚌 run every 5min or less, and the SkyTrain runs every 3-4min, via @davidzipper.bsky.social

'Music Swings Votes' hosts New Orleans mayoral forum on city's music economy www.nola.com/gambit/music...

Richard and Laurie Eckman weren’t screaming or being violent. They were just standing outside the ICE building in Portland, holding space at a peaceful protest. Richard even wore his veteran cap. All they were guilty of was standing around with a sign.

The View segment where Whoopi asked how ordinary people could read SCOTUS opinions was revealing. They're free. They're online. They're much easier to read than legislation. Conquer your imposter's syndrome, you are smart enough to read a decision and know if it's bullshit.

Extra on a live action version of Yellow Submarine?

"Burning to the ground," I tell ya...

Everything by Trump and Miller right now is weakness. They know they've lost the majority and their policies are unpopular and they've F'd up the economy. So, they'll use the military and threats and unleash their Reeks. But, they don't have the numbers. All hands on deck resistance.

"Many have even brought up Mordor’s connection to those hijacked eagles that were flown into Minas Morgul and Orthanc all those years ago, but that shouldn’t be a reason not to do my bits about whether women can parallel tether a horse or not."

"If you’re about to air an interview with someone who lies constantly, tell your audience that up front. Remind them this person has lied before. Warn them what manipulation tactics to expect. Research shows that advance warning is way more effective than trying to clean up the mess afterward."

Oh dang. This is an excellent analogy.

Revlimid has its origin in a pill that cost patients $7.50 each. Decades later, the cancer drug costs more than $18,000 for a month’s supply — even though it still only costs about 25 cents to manufacture. Read @davidarmstrongx.bsky.social's award-winning investigation:

Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for life. Transform a man into a fish and you enable him to roam the cool waters of the Atlantic, free from the burdens of the human world

Unless I am able to find this part somewhere/somehow... I will cease to own a functional vehicle So if anybody out there happens to know where one might be able to procure a rare fuel pump control unit (AKA revolution sensor) for an '82 Subaru Brat GL, please let me know #Subaru #CarTrouble #PDX

ABOLISH ICE. Pass it on.

ICE is running around Chicago harassing people for not being white. Just a year ago, that was illegal in the United States and now it’s commonplace. That’s not making America great again.

The Venn diagram of "people who say the Second Amendment is necessary in case the government turns tyrannical" and "people very happy about ICE pulling terrified naked kids out of Chicago apartments and zip tying them up" is a perfect circle. Right wingers define "tyranny" as "minorities existing".

Grit comes from the inside.

Someday, we're gonna find out that the decisionmaking went like this: Mamdani proposes city-run grocery stores. Conservatives say it'll never work. Mamdani supporters point out that DOD runs a bunch of grocery stores. Hegseth decides to close them to own the libs.

“These are rules that are going to cause an enormous amount of hardship for millions of people,” said Will Fischer at the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities. “It’s going to cause people to become homeless, kids to be pulled out of their schools.” By @jessecoburn.bsky.social

Clarence Thomas announced that he doesn't care about precedent and is making it up as he goes along. He didn't say it *like that* of course, because then people would have noticed. But I noticed, through the jargon, and explain it here in @thenation. www.thenation.com/article/soci...

Twitter's digital infrastructure and Musk himself are part of the reason why bad bots can spread their racist messages far and wide. But so is too many Americans’ willingness to hear it.

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

Very few tribes in Alaska have authority over land, so they haven’t had a way to open reservation-style casinos like tribes in the Lower 48. Many, like Tlingit and Haida, have sought to assert authority over Native allotments owned by individual tribal members.

Arizona is filled with people who agree with him. I have rarely been happier than the day I drove out of that sh!t hole.

ICE Confirms Agents Do Not Have Faces Beneath Masks

Steve has opened a new window cleaning business. Steve is trying his best.

“Why should you get to be part of society and take advantage of everything it offers if you don’t want to contribute and pay taxes? Why should you get to freeload on the rest of us who do contribute to a functioning society?” That’s always where I want to take the “mah taxes” glue eaters.

One person having the power to upend entire industries and economic sectors on a whim every day that puts companies out of business and workers out of jobs with no legislative input is an autocracy, regardless of whether that person initially acquired power through an election.

There's a really nice new study using phone data from Americans who relocated from one city to another to look at the effect of walkable environments on physical activity. E.g., people move TO New York and walk more, they move FROM New York and walk less www.nature.com/articles/s41...

I still think it’s backwards that every mass shooter owning an AR-15 is considered a right while their victims’ healthcare is considered a privilege.

People want universal healthcare. They want affordable food, clean air, education and housing. They want the freedom to pursue a better life for themselves. What do they get? Militarized cities. Threats to Medicaid. Detention camps. Gold card immigration programs. Tyranny.

gibbering insanity

“In 2023, cars and their drivers killed 8,820 American pedestrians and bicyclists — 7,314 pedestrians and 1,166 cyclists. They injured another 136,281, an increase of over 5,300 injuries from 2022.” Put the responsibility where it belongs. Via @jalopnik.bsky.social www.jalopnik.com/1979666/defe...

He's useless and quite stupid.

Paris celebrated the opening of its 300th “school street”: landscaped & pedestrianized or semi-pedestrianized blocks situated in front of schools. Most have been completed since 2020.
