I still need someone to tell me how this works engineering-wise... DC is a mostly drained swamp. The arch is supposed to be next to the Potomac. There's nothing I see here that addresses the danger of this arch from sinking into the soil and falling over.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but journalists almost never write the headlines of their pieces. An editor does that, and bless them for it. My headlines are almost always dogshit. No one clicks unless forced to. And no, I don't know what's more important: accurate headline or article read.

The longer I am out of America, the more everything looks like a giant multilayered quilt of cults. The jobs are cults, the neighborhoods are cults, the politics are cultish, the grocery stores are tribally affiliated. It's weird.

Huh.

Every threat model is some asshole's business model.

Oooh! This is pretty much exactly the hypothetical I used in training activists and journalists on digital threat modeling!

I have literally spent an hour Slowly getting out from under my eepy cat.

Welp I've been invited to stay in bed. And not move around much.

Just need everyone to know that the Belgium men's soccer team has new jerseys based on the art of Rene Magritte and this is the official photo shoot

Can someone with a fancy law degree explain to me how this is not Prior Restraint?

There is no bottom to the depths of the Democratic tendency to self sabotage.

I'm just kind of amazed that here, in the obvious descent into depraved fascism in America, we're still going to have Purity Testing Discussions on dems that we literally have nothing to do with. If Maine wants Platner, have you considered it's none of your business?

Weird question: if/when you're looking at places to live, either buy or rent, would you examine the geology and floodmaps?

The thing I find most annoying about the Platner discourse is what the hell do we know about Maine? I know it's next to Canada, has a small economy, it's the whitest state in the union and no one from the internet could have named five meaningful things about it before trying to cancel Platner

Do men commit more crimes or are women just much better at not getting caught

did you know young women are actually outpacing men in education, starting salary, home ownership, horsepower, necromancy, credit card debt, Bushidō, viscosity, corn, resistance to malicious Fog,,

california is gonna have so many mail in ballots that don’t get counted because people don’t know the new USPS rules that are impacting mail in voting. tl;dr don’t put your ballot in the mail today, find a ballot drop box. www.kqed.org/news/1208537...

I feel like I've been taking crazy pills

This is absolutely nuts: hackers are hijacking high-profile Instagram accounts by simply asking Meta's AI chatbot to change the email on the account. Meta's AI does it, hacker gets password reset code, they're in. A staggering security issue www.404media.co/hackers-simp...

I kind of wonder how much social media is why America is falling into fascism; not because of algos or whatnot, but that the energy that once got people in the streets is just thrown down a bottomless hole of social media posts.

BREAKING: These 4 chickens playing piano have backed out of Freedom 250.

"...recently, the mayor did an NYC advertisement with his former opponent and self-described cat lover, Curtis Sliwa." Who is this guy? Real Americans are not this good! I know, I am one. 😂

President?! This guys couldn't fund a right-wing death-squad, or run an illegal shadow-war to save his life!

this is incredible

Web development: a horror story

Late for #towelday, but I wrote this short appreciation of Douglas Adams and how encountering THE HITCH HIKERS GUIDE TO THE GALAXY as a child had an incalculable impact on my brain: www.hilobrow.com/2026/04/25/o...

Singer Neil Diamond started his career as Neil Coal. He changed his name when the pressure got to him.

I wonder often if the Democrats (DNC) lose elections on purpose because they can raise more money that way.

This is the sort of thing that gives me Feelings.

Slop Cinema.

It's crazy that Americans don't know how to strike.

He also said he'd be living on Mars by now. Man-baby says a lot of things.

Another day in "what if Clippy plus Chucky" world.

So I went and visited Google, and it's literally worthless.

This might be the purest Bluesky of all time

Americans can imagine the death of our solar system before they can imagine life without cars.

My least favorite part of the Trump regime is that he has faced no resistance. I didn't expect Americans to not care enough to mount any resistance. Not even a protest. Not as much as Occupy, or civil disobedience, or even blocking an open road. There's no opposition, America is a fash county.

@leahmcelrath.bsky.social A key part of the enshittification process is making everything so untrustworthy that you give up 😞

“…says White House.” ??? Seriously, Reuters?

@tcarmody.bsky.social hey heeeey long time no chat, how are things?

This, on the gear to cover (or attend) a *real* protest, holds up after some years. When are y'all going to stop having parades and actually do something about about the Trump administration? Hint: if you have a parade permit, you ain't doing shit about anything. medium.com/message/dres...
