I’m loving this new Metra Rock Island schedule… for the weekday lol— why are we still consigned to every two hour service for the weekend? Weekday off-peak and weekend demand is not that drastically different! I’d rather more thru-trains if it meant hourly or better service than this

We could do this in Boston...it would just take leadership that is committed to ending our housing crisis. www.politico.com/news/2026/05...

Hi, are you doomscrolling?

i like going on bluesky

Uber’s COO has said that it’s getting “harder to justify” its AI costs because there was no way to show a link between AI spend and any meaningful increase in useful features. This is the first time I’ve seen a company say this directly. www.businessinsider.com/uber-coo-and...

Thanks, Vonnegut. 💜

One easy way that you can know the two parties are not remotely the same is that Andy Kim is now the Democratic Senator from New Jersey & Bob Menendez is in jail for his crimes.

“We’re not here for trouble… we’re just here to see our family members.” Outside Delaney Hall ICE prison in Newark on Day 4 of the hunger strike, a 10-year-old whose father is detained inside confronts masked guards, asking why they won’t show their faces. WATCH @jordanchariton.bsky.social LIVE ⬇️

Pedocon theory out here explaining presidential endorsements in the Texas Senate race.

An NBC News investigation finds dozens of examples of criminals imitating ICE to rob and attack people www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

Can’t believe that Andy Kim is in two of the most haunting pictures of the last few years.

I saw chaos inside and outside of the ICE detention center Delaney Hall today. Detainees protesting the lack of due process, the disgusting food and poor treatment while their families and advocates stood outside calling for help. 1/4

they’re shooting crowd control munitions at crowds that include multiple members of congress, the governor, and a sitting united states senator. they fired pepper balls at the senator. they cannot and will not be reigned in by democracy, whatever’s left of it.

This photo of Andy Kim in the moments before ICE gassed everyone at Delaney Hall is going into the history books. We need more of this from our electeds.

Pope Leo addresses the Synod Hall after presentation of his first encyclical Magnifica Humanitas: “Artificial intelligence needs to be disarmed. The word is strong, I know, but deliberately chosen."

what an enormous fucking relief, hats off to the fire department

Abolish slavery, abolish prisons.

"This era demands a new framework for Black politics—fresh strategies, tactics, leaders, and goals. And we should be clear-eyed: even before Callais, the existing models of Black politics were growing stale." newrepublic.com/article/2106...

Hipster: “oh I like to go to the BACK of Mount Rushmore.”

“Why are women less bullish overall on AI than men” is not actually that mysterious of a question

Awful story, but it does the readers a huge disservice to bury these incredibly important paragraphs halfway down the page.

RE: OC Streetcar Forget the streetcar shared traffic problems for the moment. This route's exciting for the long-term potential to connect with LA Metro's Southeast Gateway corridor, the former Pacific Electric West Santa Ana Branch. A gap of ~12 miles separates the two projects.

The United States is at war with Cuba. A blockade is an act of war, imposed by military force. The goal is to cause widespread suffering to get the target to capitulate. If the Chinese navy blockaded Taiwan in an attempt to overthrow the Taiwanese government, that'd be an act of war. So is US-Cuba.

just really understated how much Israel believes that they are invulnerable to changes in American support no matter how much they actively attempt to fuck us over

Pakistan's name in its official script is written without the short i like so Pākstān پاکستان. The name is made of the names of its initial provinces. P - Punjab A - Afghania (now Khyber Pakhtunkhwa) K - Kashmir S - Sindh + stan from Balochistan. Pāk is not an ethnic group. It means pure/clean.

He negotiated the vast majority of a peace deal, except for the peace and the deal

A livestream of a volcano in the Philippines captured a meteor crashing to Earth today. What are the odds? Mayon Volcano, Location: Albay, Luzon, Philippines

see? is that so hard? is that such a difficult argument to make? this is what I want to see out of Democrats Tom Steyer, you have my vote

Reminder that formerly enslaved Black people started Memorial Day. It was initially called Decoration Day as they decorated the graves of Union troops. “As He died to make men holy let us die to make men free”

this is why I find climate dooming so frustrating there is no point - none - at which throwing up your hands and going “well we’re fucked” is the correct response every tenth of a degree matters and can make a big difference and is worth fighting for

This is one of the reasons “we can’t run AOC” makes zero sense. The gop accused Bill Clinton of being a secret communist! They said Obamacare was socialism! The underlying policy just doesn’t matter, they’ll always make this attack. So why don’t we run someone who believes in things?

New — I talked with @katmabu.bsky.social the morning after a judge dismissed all charges against her and her co-defendants thanks to extreme government fuckery about what comes next, the crazy rumor mill and setting a precedent for telling ICE to fuck off. Our convo here:

Again, please share. In every aspect of American history you will run smack dab into the critical contributions of Black people. It’s not Black history. It’s American history. Trying to erase it is a fool’s errand. We live it every day. time.com/5836444/blac...

When the new Brighton (BQ) Church Ave Entrance/Exit opened the art work hadn't yet been installed. Now that it's live, it's taken the vibes to a whole new level. Congrats to @nyctransit.bsky.social on running one of the best arts transit programs in the nation.

oh my god a non-enhanced athlete just won another event: this time it's the 100-meter sprint with Tristan Evelyn winning with an 11.18 time. www.enhanced.com/newsroom/spr...

Hunter Armstrong, a non-juiced, "non-enhanced" athlete won the 50-meter backstroke at the Enhanced Games, beating two athletes who spent the last few months taking PEDs under stringent medical supervision. www.sfgate.com/sports/artic...

oh man I can’t believe the Enhanced Games are actually happening lol. wow I wonder who would win between an insane person who has dedicated their entire adult life relentlessly training to become the most perfect athlete for their chosen sport and a guy who wanted to skip that part

The same utter soup fork that was, just previously, complaining about the lack of “conversation” on Bluesky on why he limits his replies to followers only. I can’t even.

I spent 14 years on Twitter being called the n-word sometimes before breakfast, so I’m good here thanks

Katrina needs to start being recognized as a modern day Black massacre

Hello I am the president of a country whose economy depends on consumer spending. My two major initiatives so far have been a sales tax on everything and then a war that sent all prices skyrocketing

More than a bit worrying that reality seems not to matter anymore. Like, whole political movements rise up out of disinformation campaigns pushed by algorithms and media narratives. www.latimes.com/california/s...

I feel like Katrina was a live demonstration of how much Louisiana hates New Orleans

I think a few generations down it’ll be discussed the way the Tulsa race massacre is now.

a good portion of what people mean by “crime” is “visible homeless people, some of whom are behaving erratically“
