An armistice can take weeks to negotiate. A comprehensive peace treaty can take months. No one on Earth who knows a thing about history or diplomacy thought anything could be resolved in six hours. This will confirm for everyone the extreme incompetence and bad faith of the American regime.

Get in losers gas is going to ten bucks a gallon

Just spotted a “stop hiring humans” bus wrap 🤦‍♂️

Aside from the AI template slop post construction “boating is not a luxury …, it’s a way of life” the photo seems to suggest it really is just a luxury? Like tell me that person isn’t out there luxuriating

full length fare gates significantly reduce disorder on public transit infrastructure, quickly paying for themselves and allowing transit agencies to reallocate funds to improving service in the long term

I thought the vaunted fact checkers would catch this!

What if “War for oil” just like meant propping up domestic oil producers with high prices lol

Woke 2?

They spent a decade complaining about safe spaces and then made a robot to give you compliments and tell you your mp3 of farting noises is Brian Eno

"frankly, we've been there" was such bullshit

I mean he always seemed more like an ass than "progressive"

A spaceship has landed on Earth. It came from Lockheed.

Yimbys are largely focused on actual state and local housing policy and have actually gotten stuff thorough. "Abundance" (except from when it's just Yimby) is mostly about posting (trying to come up with a discursive alternative to socialist populism) so hasn't done this

Unless you want to weep, seeing the gap between America's actual greatness and its current predicament, please do not read the bios of the Artemis II crew I ❤️science I ❤️ #nasa www.nasa.gov/feature/our-...

I spend eight hours a day posting about how Schumer and Jeffries need to resign, but I didn't feel the need to post about my insider info about a sex pest rep.

oh my gd, the hugs

HOUSTON (AP) — Artemis II’s astronauts return to Earth, ending a record-breaking trip around the moon with a splashdown in the Pacific.

I love this photo of astronaut Christina Koch looking back at Earth from Artemis II. She's the first woman to see the full sphere of our beautiful planet. Welcome home to the crew, and thank you for reminding us of all we can discover together.

Splashdown from NASA's flickr!

Ok, this contrast between the Goldman Sachs projections for oil flows and the actual oil flows out of Hormuz are hilarious. But also it really is remarkable how disconnected the current futures markets remain from, like, the actual 1-2 month future.

The Obama & Biden Administrations used positive financial incentives to encourage people to switch to electric vehicles. The Trump Regime is taking a slightly different approach.

I am not an oil market expert but I am sensing that two more months of strait closure would have some implications that might not be good.

"To put it bluntly, an X post today receives less than 3% of the views a single tweet delivered seven years ago." If you think it is necessary to be on Twitter to communicate your fact-based worldview, the reality is that worldview is being smothered.

Mark my words. In about a week, Americas are going to wake up in the morning and feel what this chart actually means.

woke up and still thinking about these

I used to do audits and do tax work for employee stock ownership plants (ESOPs) and they're both a fascinating financial and policy model and the firms that result from them, in my experience, tend to be much more aggressively capitalistic and financialized in terms of their operations.

Ask Democrats & independents what Barack Obama's biggest mistake was & you'll regularly hear that he bailed out the banks & failed to hold people accountable after the Great Recession. Likewise Biden with Trump in 2021. I am glad to see us committing on paper to not make that mistake again.

Pro death, pro injury administration

If there was a protest culture that only popped up with Democrats and then sunk down with Republicans in office doing worse you'd ask yourself just a whole host of questions about that, right

the Pontiac Aztek - which entered production in 2000 for the 2001 model year and was cancelled from the lineup in 2005 - lasted longer than the confederacy

Evergreen sentiment

it's really wild to hear from former occupy that the anti war movement is dead and then encounter 15 of the frailest people on planet earth starting up corner protests in the short walk to get smokes

Ten years ago today, in April 2016, the Boston Globe printed a satirical front page imagining a future Trump administration. The page was called "alarmist," "hyperbolic," "dystopian." But we’ve put up with so much since then it now looks like . . . a slow Thursday?

New with @pamherd.bsky.social: While never mentioning Trump or political parties, the show’s second season offers an almost-real time commentary on how policy changes are affecting health. Lets take one particular example of Medicaid coverage loss. 🧵 donmoynihan.substack.com/p/what-the-p...

Inshallah we pass the revenue measure and it keeps growing till we hit Transit Utopia

Love seeing Muni and BART with the highest rail ridership growth in the US. If we pass @connectbayarea.bsky.social measure, ridership growth will continue. If we don’t, service will be slashed and ridership will plummet - Bay Area way of life and economy will crumble. We must pass this measure!

Ridership on the Bay Area's Caltrain also continues rising in the wake of the route's electrification, with passenger counts up 40% compared to 2025! The route has taken more than 13.5M passengers over the last twelve months, the highest since COVID

It is mindboggling that, in the face of climate change, increasing traffic, gas prices, and *everything else*, the California legislature's highest transpo priority this session is limiting the use of e-bikes. Genuinely a real possibility of the CA e-bike industry being regulated out of existence.

Impossible to disagree with a single word that Ben Rhodes (Obama era NSC official) is saying here:

i am calling it now: the midterm convention is an all-time bad idea. forcing vulnerable incumbents to publicly hug the unpopular president?

this mf really said "i declare a ceasefire" and thought it was over

Always exciting to see the Avignon Papacy in the news

the strait of hormuz is in a quantum superposition of open and closed that only collapses when you try to take a tanker through yourself and see if you get shot at

Just to spell this out… You need ID to vote in Kansas. For most, that means a driver’s license. Kansas has canceled valid licenses of people who’d updated their gender marker. Many of those affected will need new licenses to be able to vote. A new license costs $16. = Poll tax on trans people.

This is the kind of thing Republicans could pull off if (1) the Trump administration just kind of kept things on autopilot from the start like they did in the first term and (2) the administration wasn’t locked in to the belief that it is immune to politics

I don’t get it

Oh okay
