Everything going well.

It’s old-fashioned to defend mainstream journalism these days but some of the most reliable reporting from people actually on the ground will be the AP and Reuters the next 24 hours. Your Substack journalist writing takes will be using frontline reporting from them.

Calling is a remote version of protesting. Sure, say your message the best that you can, but the real point is making a show of force. Your power comes not from anything you do yourself, but from being part of an immense group with a unified purpose.

In high school, I was a state legislative page. One of my duties was taking constituent calls. We'd take down the caller's info and then write a one-sentence summary of what they said. Our pads literally didn't have space for more. You don't have to be eloquent. You just have to be present.

I have been to the International Criminal Court on the edge of Den Haag. Easily accessible by cycle.

2026 wasting no fucking time, huh

Americans will never be able to imagine how it feels having to please the world's worst man alive because some morons across the ocean elected him as the president of the world's most powerful nation

This is a very beautiful building.

HOW ARE THERE ALWAYS MORE

These guys really fucking love doing the worst things on Friday/Saturday huh

I don't understand the point of coming on here and intentionally lying. This is what it would look like since the game actually supports ultrawide.

Anyway, a lot is going to happen in the next hours and, I’m sorry to say, but it’s not going to be done by people on cable news filling overnight airspace. Some of them will do it when they’re off air, but it’s mainly going to be done by other journalist, calling people up & talking with sources.

I Photoshop Paddington into a movie, TV show, or pop culture until I forget: Day 1755

I'm going to bed but a lot of people on this website are making statements tonight that have good odds of aging badly because you couldn't allow yourself to sit in uncertainty. I think it's a good idea to reflect on why you feel compelled to react in real time to a thing you have no control over

I'm sorry I'm not going to post about What This Means tonight other than it's stupid as shit

Early Technic when you could just get gears and motors and sticks 😍

remembering my journalist dad telling me to always wait for a second outlet to confirm and feeling ooooold

I've been consciously trying to do more retweeting of folks with Good And Thoughtful Takes around AI and the like lately, so here's a starter-pack thing I'll definitely not forget to keep updated later 🫡

Man it is always wild reading posts from blue state trans people acting about how they see the state of the world

"grok apologized"

The thing about "deregulation" is that it very much matters whether what you are deregulating is corporations' ability to poison the water supply or everyone's ability to build apartment buildings -- including the government's ability to build public housing without nearby randos shouting it down!

Like this might just be one of the best reveals of ship in film, ever

Someone has lifted the QuickTimeVR movie files from 1994's "Star Trek: The Next Generation Interactive Technical Manual", upscaled them then built an in-browser replica of the ITM's "Tour" module. mijofr.github.io/st-panorama/ #StarTrek

we need an exchange program where you can bring in an urbanist from another city to look at a project people are complaining about and say yeah idk this looks fine

A 1965 report predicting BART ridership at Berkeley's stations. The estimates are way high, primarily because they assumed population densification and a seamless transfer from AC Transit to BART. North Berkeley: 8,700 predicted (4100 actual) Ashby: 16,400 (5,165) Downtown Berk: 24,000 (11,000)

It's always a little unfair to overbake a quickly tossed-off skeet, but this is a distillation of an idea I see circulating a *lot* in lefty spaces. The context of what Mamdani was saying is in the alt-text; he's obviously being much more nuanced than saying "individualism must end." But must it?
