“I deleted it as a test and it came immediately back,” says one government employee. www.wired.com/story/story/...

This is trash. Just say no. These fucking fascists shouldn't get your passport to use their brain-destroying tech.

The young voters who elected Mayor Mamdani have lagged way behind in early voting counts this month. If you want to do the mayor a solid and replace the status quo in Congress with new progressive energy, Election Day is tomorrow from 6a-9p. Check your poll site at vote.nyc and remind your friends.

I wrote this 7 years ago In it I called for cities to better embrace greenery, reflective coatings, water and shading to tackle urban heat. More relevant than ever…. www.theguardian.com/cities/2018/...

“Revolt in small Georgia town appears to ward off ICE detention center. Social Circle announces Homeland Security has canceled plans to convert warehouse to detain up to 10,000 people.” The proposed camp “would have been one of the largest immigration detention centers in the country.”

MacFarlane: You have a smell that's emanating now that is reminiscent of a high school locker room. You have a police force and National Guard presence that is profound. It's like a jewel heist from the muppet caper is going to happen. It seems to be a misappropriation of resources.

NEW: Insane screwup inside Meta. The company exposed worker keystroke data that was being used to train AI — making it potentially accessible to anyone at the company. The data included personnel and performance info, private convos, full transcriptions…imagine your coworkers seeing all of that.

Parker Posey, Dina Martina, and two other performers I can’t remember on the new Sesame Street style set for Showgirls in Ptown tonight. Pure pleasure.

Amazing news: Thanh Tuan Phan, one of the people ICE sent to South Sudan last year, has been released. Source familiar tells me he has arrived in Vietnam, a place he left as a child in 1991. www.eyeradio.org/joyful-to-re...

Day 2 tomorrow. If it’s anything like Day 1, I might not make it through🖤🖤🖤

I am *never* going to get over the Court holding that targeted student loan forgiveness was a "major question" that Congress needed to weigh in on, but refusing to intervene to stop the dismantling of the entire cabinet agency overseeing the student loan program.

This should satisfy no one. This confirms what we already knew, that the problem in the Northern District of Illinois is systemic, and that the system needs to grind to a halt.

I'm guest hosting for @msignorile.bsky.social this week on @siriusxmprog.bsky.social! Today's lineup: @cdelawalla.bsky.social from @standupforscience.net @nicholsuprising.bsky.social and @alexisgoldstein.bsky.social, running in MD-06 primaryu tomorrow www.electalexis.org

Environmental and conservation groups recently filed a federal lawsuit seeking to block a land swap approved by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service that would give Elon Musk's SpaceX more than 700 acres of a national wildlife refuge in South Texas.

‘The triple C assessment means SpaceX has the same score as that awarded to the Russian state on MSCI’s ESG government rating scale in the wake of its 2022 invasion of Ukraine.’ www.ft.com/content/a0dd...

NEW: Records obtained by ProPublica detail at least a dozen SpaceX investors with addresses in mainland China, Hong Kong or Russia who acquired stakes in SpaceX years ago through a middleman firm in the U.S. called Tomales Bay Capital.

It's rare that a newspaper says this out loud.

Awful news this morning — one of Oregon's best reporters has passed away, all too young. His absence will be felt by the media and by the public at large. www.oregonlive.com/portland/202...

the write ups of the pm's fall never mention his biggest reforms—those that made the uk far, far worse for minorities my latest for @liberalcurrents.com www.liberalcurrents.com/starmer-out/

Never forget: Alan Greenspan chaired a 1983 Social Security commission that raised payroll taxes for working people. Then in 2001 he told Congress that we needed to lower taxes on the wealthy because we were in danger of paying off the deficit too fast. His legacy is regressive taxation.

Free speech, open debate, and viewpoint diversity, whee!

If voting is your thing, voting in hyper local elections has more impact on your day to day life than national elections. Yet people focus on the national over the local.

Good time to make a sustaining donation to @aclu.org

Low-key liberal accomplishments coupled with high-profile policy concessions to the right and aggressive conservative virtue signalling — this is exactly the strategy moderates have recommended for Democrats here, of course. Didn't work too well. Maybe some lessons there.

Fun how we’re seemingly on this path where every developed country: blames immigrants for every problem, elect far right insane person, stops immigration, tanks economy, blames immigrants, repeat

Very interesting paper finds that when South Korea suspended its “low-skilled” guest worker program, the result was not a rise in wages for native Koreans doing those jobs, it was the opposite; current employees got reassigned to those jobs and took pay cuts and firms went under.

Hi is anyone in Brooklyn moving out of a(n) (2br) apartment they love? Or do they live in a building they love that has empty (2br) apartments in it? This is news that @maris.bsky.social and Maggie the Pug and I can use!

Former Obama people were advising Stamer. Some of the Stamer folks tried to advise Harris.

New York City’s Muslim democratic socialist mayor has an unlikely new friend — the archbishop Pope Leo XIV handpicked to lead the nation’s largest city. Inside the bromance between Mayor Zohran Mamdani and Archbishop Ronald Hicks, drawn together by the Knicks and a love of the poor.

The rise of larger vehicles like SUVs and pickup trucks, with their taller hoods and larger blind zones, has contributed to a 75% increase in pedestrian and cyclist deaths since 2009. Until we design better streets and ban these vehicles, people outside these vehicles will keep dying.

Oh this is a *disaster* disaster and the signal on it’s been low. This is a fire crossed with a toxic chemical release crossed with an unthinkably huge amount of meat about to spoil which is another toxic chemical release crossed with vermin opportunity. Los Angeles.

Today in the casual media normalization of wildly illegal trade policy that abuses, if not outright violates, US domestic law & clearly violates our WTO & PTA treaty obligations. It keeps happening. There’s no reason for Bloomberg & other media outlets to keep doing it. Do better.

"A solar farm on a rewetted peatland is home to more types of bird than drained agricultural fields nearby, suggesting that land used for renewable energy can make money for landowners, lock away carbon and boost biodiversity at the same time."

“I carry with me a photo of a Muslim child who, during my visit to Lebanon, was standing there holding a sign that said ‘Welcome, Pope Leo,’ and in this latest phase of the war, he was killed. “As a Church, I say again: as a pastor, I cannot be in favor of war.” — Pope Leo XIV

one of the bleaker things abt the UK right now is that Starmer is being forced to resign after humiliating failure, but basically no one—not inter party opposition, not other parties, not media, not pundits—even gestures at suggesting maybe he shld change his signature policy of torturing trans ppl

Just arrived at the Fine Arts Work Center, went out on a booze run and forgot to check the icebox. Just four ice cubes. If I finish the night screaming Pink Pony Club at karaoke down the street just to get an iced beverage, well, it was fate. Or something.

Closed some tabs on my phone, down to 412.

Someone has been projecting images all over D.C. “It’s swampier than ever.” The Kennedy Center one is pretty hilarious. 😂😂😂

If you’re upset about there being too many people asking for money just wait until every single day from now on

When hunting for plankton, manta rays form long chains that loop around to form a massive, spiraling "cyclone". This synchronized circling creates a vortex that traps and concentrates plankton into a dense ball, allowing them to efficiently filter-feed together. 📹Alex Kydd
