NEW: An Irish tourist visiting the US was jailed by ICE for 3 months after overstaying 3 days due to medical issue. Thomas agreed to be deported, but instead went to federal prison where he recounted horrific conditions + no medical care. “Nobody's safe from the system if they get pulled into it"

Same, Vince. Same.

Would be very interested to know if any landscape architects are working on the AI data center issue— e.g. mapping the amount of land they’re taking up, visualizing their impacts on air and water, etc. Shoot me a message if so.

You know what? There's actually a tested solution to this! it is brilliantly simple, and it WORKS. I would love to see @bsky.app and @support.bsky.team test this out. www.ucl.ac.uk/news/2023/ju...

I wrote about Grupo de Diseño Urbano's momentous Oberlander Prize win and what it means that the award has gone to a firm, rather than an individual, for the first time, and in particular to a firm that has long been committed to the people of Mexico landscapearchitecturemagazine.org/2025/11/05/f...

Young people in NYC absolutely showed out and there should be 1000 articles and profiles about this. Because we have had to put up with 1000 MAGA diner stories for years now.

can’t tell if my antidepressants aren’t working or if they just weren’t built for this. like, zoloft was introduced in the 90s it barely needed to work then. if you got sad you could just buy a house.

In India the gods and goddesses have had enough of your shit. At least they’re taking it seriously because I haven’t heard much from the monotheistic gods on this

“Chicago has long been a laboratory for policing. From the repression of labor movements in the early 20th century, to COINTELPRO surveillance, to Jon Burge’s torture regime... the city has been central to testing and refining state violence.” -Ilā Ravichandran truthout.org/articles/thi...

So if yesterday was Day 0…

One thing that is clear from the kicker to this excellent WSJ story on the WH ballroom is that Trump himself can't believe how easy it is to run roughshod over rules and traditions. There's probably a metaphor in there somewhere. Free link: www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

But! People are ALREADY WORKING ON THIS and HAVE BEEN FOR A LONG FUCKING TIME. The UAW has been organizing a massive strike for years...to take place in 2028.

This photo accompanying a news story about the heist at the Louvre is perfection.

This is a quiet, humble, reflective manifesto, but it is a manifesto nonetheless "What we needed was not more education, but more spaces for witnessing. For presence. For turning toward and tending to each other." Bravo @panthealee.bsky.social panthealee.substack.com/p/what-softn...

"Defying gravity, piercing the heavens: not these projects. The installations want to be touched and held. Maybe you do, too." @zachmortice.bsky.social is in superlative critical mode in his review of this year's Chicago Architectural Biennial www.bloomberg.com/news/feature...

“The hundreds of billions of dollars companies are investing in AI now account for an astonishing 40 per cent share of US GDP growth this year. And some analysts believe that estimate doesn’t fully capture the AI spend, so the real share could be even higher.” www.ft.com/content/6cc8...

Check the timestamps. On CNN’s website, the uploaded interview starts at 2:52. On their YouTube page, the upload starts at 2:47. The “plenary authority” comment by Miller was at 2:41, as shown in my side-by-side video post. CNN should be reporting on what Miller said. It’s news!

Stephen Miller said the quiet part out loud. Trump has “plenary authority,” then suddenly went silent. Their plan wasn’t to be public yet. Clearly, someone hit the panic button in his earpiece. It gets weirder: CNN uploaded the interview with the “plenary authority” comment edited out. 1/2

This is the most accurate depiction of the Midwest to date. Wichita has always felt like the last Midwest city while also being the first plains city.

Trump raised $8 million for Hurricane Helene survivors. Where did it all go? The presidential campaign bad-mouthed FEMA while using crowdfunding to donate to evangelical nonprofits. grist.org/accountabili... #Disaster #Climate #Trump #Donations #FEMA #GoFundMe

Honestly, when the financial press starts printing diagrams like this, isn't it time for a regulator to step in?

🤗 to see @timothyaschuler.bsky.social on the work of Reimagine the Canals (+ my friend Angelyn!), who, in revitalizing the Erie Canal, "hope [to] serve as a model for how public agencies might approach aging infrastructure at vast scales, marrying... basic maintenance with... public access"

Loved reading this @timothyaschuler.bsky.social piece about the Erie Canal’s first 200 years … and what’s next (bridges! trails! art!) www.bloomberg.com/news/feature...

I’m a sewage system. I also have a great personality.

Yet another good reason for locals to resist data centers: "electricity now costs as much as 267% more for a single month than it did five years ago in areas located near significant data center activity" Gift link from @bloomberg.com www.bloomberg.com/graphics/202...

wow, difficult decision! do the right thing and cement your legacy as a hero in history books. or make a lot of money! tough!!

Smoke from climate-driven wildfires will kill nearly 2 million Americans by 2055, a new study concludes.

a healthy, 41-year-old friend of mine dropped dead in Sydney in 2020 because of what was probably a previously unknown heart defect triggered by wildfire smoke.

Sinclair is demanding that Kimmel apologize to the family (?) and also "make a meaningful personal donation to the Kirk Family and Turning Point USA" Are you fucking kidding me? It's not enough they got him fired, they want him to grovel and send money to these anti-free speech grifters?

We’d be in a much stronger position right now if mainstream Democrats had taken a common sense stand for First Amendment principles instead of piling on undergraduate standing up for Palestine.

I’m not really active here these days, but I just came to say that I interviewed the artist and photographer Terry Evans today, and it’s so nice when the individuals you admire are gracious and thoughtful people
