Good morning skitches!

London.

Every time I see Trump claim vast powers over economic policy that the Constitution does not give him, often only for the Supreme Court to step in and go 'seems legit,' I can't help but think about the Court carrying on as if canceling some student loan debt was shocking executive overreach

LBGTQ rights is the greatest cultural victory that Democrats have won in most of our lifetimes, a cause that went from controversial to completely mainstream and wildly popular, making Republicans look old-fashioned and bigoted. Naturally the centrist Dems are scared of it

love, hope, kindness, empathy, art, craft, life, hugs, smiles, taking a moment, sharing a drink, sitting quietly together, thanking the bus driver, opening a door for an elder, or giving them your seat, celebrating your friends' wins, helping your neighbour when their car is stuck in the snow.

I love London so much. So much. Did you know that London has the lowest level of ethnic violence of any city of comparable size in the world? Multiculturalism has in fact worked here. They just don’t want it to be true because we happen to have a Muslim mayor.

checks out.

Robert Redford playing a gentle incarnation of death, coming for a frightened old woman in The Twilight Zone episode "Nothing in the Dark" (1962). An extraordinary performance then, terribly bittersweet today

Letters you wish you could have written…

“racism is a symptom of psychological ill-health, a sign of anxiety and of a lack of identity & inner security. Psychologically healthy people with a stable sense of identity & security are very rarely (if ever) racist. They … have no need to strengthen their sense of self through group identity” 🎯

I think it's probably more important than ever we celebrate a life well lived. Happy to flood the zone with Redford love.

As other people are saying, D wins this so hard that it's shocking.

On June 24, I began my Election Night speech by quoting Mandela: “It always seems impossible until it’s done.” That's the spirit of this campaign, and our city. This is "Until It’s Done,” a new series about New Yorkers who refused to accept that a worthy goal was impossible.

When you use your fame and wealth from your artistic success to further good causes in the country and the world AND to help up-and-coming, young, independent, and outside artists find their own path and flourish

I am still out here hoping they got away somehow

Fuck me, Slack is telling me it wants to use AI to summarise a few messages I haven't read yet. They are literally short messages already. 🤡

What's the weirdest thing a medieval guild hall could post on their bluesky feed? What about the inside of a British Sugar factory in York you say? This photo was taken in the late 1940's when the factory processed 133,000 tons of sugar beets a year! We a feel a random thread coming on...

Progressive Delivery on K8s. this is relevant to my interests...

obviously publicly traded companies should be able to say whatever they want about the state of their businesses. we could check in with them, i don't know, maybe every couple of years or so to hear how things are going. i mean, if that's ok with them.

this is, hands down, the best video I've seen on men's influencer content and it's not close either

amazing shot

Very important thoughts to kick the week off.

What if racism creates poverty, rather than poverty creating racism. Just a thought.

Paris is transforming its landscape and climate by planting a large number of trees (native species) in the city to lower temperatures and improve rainwater runoff to reduce flooding and improve air quality in the city. This is the way intelligent humans change the cities they live in.
