The City of Dallas is becoming the concrete hellscape that it deserves to be. I lived there my whole life, but stuff like this, and the very real threats to tear down city hall, makes me very glad that I moved away 5 years ago.

Sounds like One Big Beautiful Bill to me. Maybe they’ll go for it 😂

Bulldozing the seat of government — in the form of a historic and iconic city hall — to accommodate a billionaire-owned sports team sounds like the type of thing an AI bot would recommend. It speaks to the direction and leadership of this city and makes me wonder what I'm even doing here.

…,,And some guy in 2026 would make 1000 excuses for why we can’t build this today.

fossil fuel prices aren't coming down one of the lowest recorded snow season on record it's been dry AF and we're going to have one of the worst wildfire years to date how about we forget the new york times, instead

You never truly realize just how dirty your windows and skylights are until they get cleaned by professionals.

Trump threatened to nuke Iran during the same press event where he called a woman reporter "baby" and a "bitch" and we'll all just supposed to continue on tomorrow as though any of this insanity is normal or acceptable

My colleague Aaron Parsley just won a Pulitzer for this story, written days after he survived the July 4 floods that killed his nephew. It's one of the most gutwrenching and memorable things you'll ever read. Please do.

HELL YES he did.

*taps sign* Once again, let me explain that the Mayor of Dallas is essentially an at-large city council member with a few additional duties. His vote is one of 15, and he didn't even go to the briefing he demanded.

Or are they more likely to be speeding because they're using their phones?

When the news (television, online, print, social media, etc.) is only wall-to-wall coverage of Donald Trump, you just stop paying attention altogether.

What if we deal with it now?

Famously Lincoln’s last words were “this is why I need a home theatre.”

EXACTLY

And I thought things were bad at Texas A&M. 😳

This should be considered fraud. I would NEVER want to deceive my readers by having my byline attached to slop I didn't write, and I'm livid as a reader that McClatchy thinks readers would even accept this. It's just dishonest and insulting.

Meta will begin keystroke logging US employees at work -- complete with mouse movements and periodic screenshots -- to train better AI agents. This comes after Boz posted about a future in which AI will "primarily do the work" at meta. It's a new era for tech labor. www.reuters.com/sustainabili...

OOOOOH

"Pancreatic cancer mRNA vaccine shows lasting results in an early trial: Scientists caution that more research is needed, but nearly all of the patients who responded to the personalized vaccine are still alive six years later."

the president of the united states is personally looting the treasury to the tune of literally billions of dollars and that he is not being immediately removed from office and tried for high crimes against this country is a devastating indictment of every part of our political system

Today's ignorant naysayers claim "that'd never work here!" when in fact it once did before it was intentionally dismantled for the benefit of the auto industry.

The Dallas Mavericks can go to hell for thinking they can demolish Dallas City Hall

Camp Mystic official testifies that he didn’t see flood warnings issued the day before storm hit Via @apnews.com:

I’m not sure it has broken through to the general public that the president is a megalomaniac crazy person. Hopefully posts like this help.

the state nickname is ‘the natural state’ but our state government does nearly everything they can to harm the natural beauty that draws so many to arkansas. kneecapping homeowner/small-scale solar to favor large-scale gas and coal power will only cause further harm to our beloved natural beauty.

what do you MEAN my flight will be late, i just watched something from THE MOON land on time

Why are the trads so horrible with proportion?

Donald Trump is using foreign steel to build his gold-encrusted ballroom. It's a slap in the face to every American steelworker. "America First" was always just a slogan to Trump.

god would "we've reopened the strait of hormuz!" only for it to not actually open but for oil to stay under $100/barrel anyway be the greatest ever example of this

What kind of slogans, @nytimes.com? WHAT KIND OF SLOGANS WERE THE IRANIANS CHANTING?!?!

Regardless of whether it’s all talk, when the leader of our country expresses plainly genocidal intent, everyone has to do something. For citizens of all political stripes, it means rejecting this madness. For Congress, it means taking action to rein him in. Now.

"For Trump, it was a gut-driven decision enabled by an echo chamber that did not exist in his first term." But MAGA told me women are too emotional to lead and make decisions on the world stage. Meanwhile, Mr. President ignored logic and intelligence and made an emotional decision to start a war.

New sternly worded letter just dropped

Let's annotate. 1. Begins with a CLEAR statement laying out WHO the culprit is and what he is doing. 2. Specifically says what he thinks needs to happen next. 3. Calls out his own institution. THIS IS THE BASEMENT in terms of a response & his colleagues are underground. bsky.app/profile/fros...

calling for the 25th amendment is saying you actually don't want to do a single thing. not a damn one. 1

Spent the last few days in Edinburgh. Here’s some of my carspotting: 1) Ford Explorer EV!!! 2) what zee heck is an Abarth 600e?? 3) more ID.Buzzes than I expected and a Kia EV4!!! 4) what I would give to own a hybrid Corolla wagon

Social media is a scourge on humanity and should be turned off immediately.

Just going to sign off for a few days or weeks. Maybe a month. This is all just so performative and, honestly, rather exhausting.

If the NYT is just going to rip off @katewagner.wehwalt.net’s McMansion Hell bits they should have made them funny

Zuckerberg: good job with DOGE, I’m censoring Facebook for you and Trump Musk: ❤️

This has been the GOP's "starve-the-beast" scheme for nearly 50 years. Meanwhile, millions suffer and struggle to get ahead as the rich get richer. See the problem here?

Maybe states and local municipalities should also endeavor to be more thoughtful with their zoning and land use policies so that residential sprawl doesn't get near these racetracks.

Governor JB Pritzker, welcome to The War on Cars.

Okay, so: 1) fertilizers are in shortage; 2) E15 comes from corn fed with fertilizers; 3) land used to grow corn for ethanol produces 3.2% of the energy generated by covering the same amount of land with solar panels. With all respect, what are we doing here?

The enshittification will continue until morale improves.

You’re almost there, Little Rock. Almost there. What if instead of creating niche grocery store buses, you made a robust bus network that allowed residents to go wherever they wanted including grocery stores? Would that be so difficult?

Good. I hope this is the downfall of those terrible, horrible, no good, very bad applications and websites. Social networking my ass.
