US car dealers hate EVs because EVs need a lot less maintenance www.bls.gov/opub/mlr/202...

The horrors inside these ICE facilities are stunning. Don't look away. For a year, we’ve been working to call attention to the lawlessness & inhumane conditions at 26 Federal Plaza and across the country. (1/2)

Patagonia CEO Ryan Gellert called out Governor Cox directly, saying moving the Forest Service to Utah will “gut the agency” and will benefit “nothing other than the extractive industry.” This is exactly the kind of business voice we need right now.

Seriously, F*** this administration. $1.5 trillion for defense spending, but cancel $4.2B in eletric charging infrastruture (p.50 of the budget, linked). Thank goodness California already has a fantastic EV charging infrastructure www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/u...

The U.S. Forest Service is closing 57 of its 77 research facilities in 31 states under a reorganization plan announced this week, threatening science that looked at how wildfires, drought, pests and global warming are putting pressure on forests.

The Trump administration just did something that has never been done in the 50-year history of the Endangered Species Act.

The administration is really taking this fight against climate change seriously. Kudos and carry on!

This is my favorite climate change chart. Japanese monks, aristocrats, and emperors kept meticulous records of cherry blossom festivals for 1,200 years and accidentally built the world's longest climate dataset.

November 18, 1985. Bill Watterson was prescient!

"After fighting to sell its vehicles directly to buyers, Rivian threatened to take its case to voters with a ballot measure to permit direct sales," Terlep writes. "The dealers blinked" What %age of voting citizens believe franchise laws serve to protet them? Gift link www.wsj.com/business/aut...

Gotta love official government messaging putting the responsibility on the pedestrian, under the assumption that moving vehicles are likely to not....follow the law

What Bernie says.

And it’s that Congress has let him. The GOP could resolve this tomorrow.

This fine person would be such a welcome addition to Next Door, where they can regale us with stories on how senior citizens shouldn't have to pay property taxes since they no longer use the local public school system

@olbermann.bsky.social wrote The Ninth Man nearly 30 years ago, and a good buddy devotingly reposts it every Opening Day. Each Year, reading it anew gives me chills. Thank you, Keith, for your love of the game and its history. And for making MLB's Opening Day magical

"Bold Vision" in defying the wishes of nimby's like Robert Reich, at one of the few universities where rent costs significantly more than (in state) tuition

We do need some hopeful news now and again~

Delightful this was fundraised in large part by donations. I am trying to wrap my mind around the value proposition of high-schoolers having a $239k grand piano vs. one that is a fraction of the cost palyvoice.com/187143/news/...

photo ID paired with a birth certificate, naturalization certificate, or similar document all presented in person. Don’t let them gaslight you. For most Americans, your Real ID (the one the government forced you to get) gets you through airport security. That’s it. Please help us spread the truth!

It’s crystal clear now that Trump has lost control of this war. He badly misjudged Iran’s ability to retaliate. The region is on fire. 1/ I’m going to explain to you in this🧵what I’ve learned - in part from closed door briefings - about the four biggest current crises.

SFGate with a scorching headline that flies in the face of all the accolades you often hear online from the myriad fanbois of Tesla and Musk www.sfgate.com/la/article/t...

We have driving tests to lawfully operate a vehicle We have licensure to become a registered nurse We have certification requirements to become a teacher. How is it possible to become a deputy national security advisor and not have a basic understanding of our constitution?!

How are stories like this *not* more celebrated? Why do we not decry that our current state is that it is more expensive for *rent* for a Berkeley student than in-state tuition. This is the piece of great news I am so delighted and needed to see today

On a lighter note, perhaps one of the advantages of optimism in the Bay Area is our collective ability to forget~

Mayhap it's less about the proverbial "wisdom of the crowd" and better at getting things right when there is a financial incentive for insider trading on binary outcomes that are at the control of a small and discrete number of actors

WIth as many of these that are frequently seen around PA, let me say that this is wholly on point

AI #New: Bay Area rent (median 1BR): San Francisco: $3,630 (+15+% y/y) Palo Alto: $3,450** (+16+% y/y) Mtn View: $3,220 Sunnyvale: $3,030 Santa Clara: $2,870 Redwood City: $2,760 San Jose: $2,510 Berkeley: $2,200 Oakland: $1,980 Source: @Zumper

Nuremburg II cannot come soon enough for these monsters.

memories of Pat TIllman abound in this all too familiar narrative 3 U.S. Planes Are Shot Down in ‘Friendly Fire’ in Kuwait, U.S. Military Says

Not true - my DeLorean indicates otherwise Plus - there's a lot of current legislation that, if passed, will take this percentage way up from 20% apple.news/AQTQGRCd2RhG...

@yrfatfriend.bsky.social @michaelhobbes.bsky.social please help I just stumbled onto kids sunblock that claims to block WiFi radiation???

Never has an illustrator so concisely captured the zeitgeist of my life story

No better metaphor for what association with Trump gets you than the guys who won Team USA's first gold medal since 1980 being forever remembered as the sad losers who were served cold McDonald's and bottled water at a lunch Trump didn't even bother showing up to.

It seems all Kansas-issued trans drivers' licenses are invalid, effective tomorrow It is now illegal for trans people to drive a car until they surrender their license at a DMV (that most will need to drive to) and have it reissued with the wrong gender marker This was never about woman's sports

The fact that there’s a secret network of doulas going around Minneapolis to help with home births for parents afraid of ICE should be front-page news. These children, born in secrecy, are American citizens.

Shockingly well articulated by Gorsuch

Austin out at PAUSD, effective immediately, though clearly communicated as neither a retirement nor a termination. Curious

NJ lawmakers introduce the FUCK ICE Act. The bill "permits civil action for violations of US Constitution related to immigration enforcement."

Sunday matinee at the iconic Stanford Theater.

Yet again, economics 101 rule - build housing, rent drops 6,000 units built, and rental prices go down. We should celebrate achievements like this more, especially across nimby norcal

The cruelty is the point

wild to me that, less than a month and a half later, and *NO ONE* is talking about Venezuela in a meaningful way. What's the plan? What are the success metrics? I see more in my newsfeed about MLB making sure that VZ baseball players were able to safely get back to the States for spring training

*nursing students* We are toast
