First pie since I lost my dad. I'm an excruciatingly mid baker, compounded further by not having practiced in 10 months. But he always used to quietly get 2nd and 3rd servings and I could never tell if he was trying to encourage his son or if he genuinely liked it. Probably the former. I miss him.

Happy Chompsgiving!

I swore an oath to the Constitution in 1986. I've upheld it through 25 years of service and every day since I retired. If Trump's trying to intimidate me, it won’t work. I’ve given too much to our country to be silenced by bullies who care more about power than the Constitution.

Reducing an entire city, fanbase and NFL team into a single image:

The US is extorting Zelenskyy to sign away territory Russia doesn't even hold, as well as Ukraine's ability to defend itself, on the basis of Putin's word he'll honor a peace and Trump's word the US will make him. Just so we're clear what's happening here.

Blocked a few communists, but wanted to highlight this. Cement does not have a PTC, OBBBA killed the renewable PTCs, my company takes zero public funding, and this is indistinguishable from Republican messaging. Everyone I have ever met is now carbon negative. What the fuck have you done?

As someone that works for a decarb startup that exists because of venture capital: lol.

To my trans and nonbinary friends, I am so sorry that you have to deal with this hate. And I hope to see us reach the other side of it soon. And, we will reach the other side. This is horrifying, but it is ultimately the latest iteration of a time-worn tale. And their time always comes to an end.

You may not like it, but this is what peak locker room culture looks like

This is more or less where I am. Would I vote Mamdani in normal times? No. Would I support him over fascists and their throne-sniffing toadies? Fucking absolutely. Nobody stopped Freddie Oversteegen to ask if she was a socialist when she was luring Nazis into the woods and killing them.

Thank you for the inspiration, Ed. If you are in the DC area and are able to help your neighbors, please consider giving to SOME. I will match your donation if you share a receipt with me.

The Inflation Reduction Act created around 500,000 clean energy jobs, before Republicans gutted it in July. Those were not *future* jobs, Biden drove the single largest investment in clean climate in global history. You're conflating IRA/BIL with CHIPS, which is telling.

When Faine does food discourse and I am exposed to all the sickos on this app

If you recently lost a pretzel on an airplane, let me know. Happy to return it to you

Dawg, the IRA was the single largest investment in emissions reduction in global history. You have even previously acknowledged this fact, but handwave it away because of neoliberalism, a lie about EU spending, and a weird comparison to Chinese state subsidies for their domestic chip industry.

paid for someone else’s groceries because their food assistance money has already run out and it’s not Nov 1 yet—what’s about to happen is going to be so catastrophic

Sometimes ya just gotta take that snooze

Prestige journalism really deserves the agonizing decades long death it's suffering through, it just sucks we have to live in the rubble of their hubris and maliciousness

If I eat the lobster corndog, does that mean I get to be president of Maine?

If you can't tolerate me at my July DC weather (humid as hell, average temp similar to surface of the sun), you don't deserve me at my October DC weather (absolutely perfect, no notes)

Pope Leo in remarks to journalists tonight: "Someone who says I am against abortion but I am in agreement with the inhuman treatment of immigrants in the United States, I don't know if that's pro-life.” www.reuters.com/world/pope-l...

One of our friends has nicknamed Cleo and Luna as 'Slinky and the Chonk' While I will hate this woman forever, I can't fault her creativity.

DC is plurality black and 1 in 7 residents are immigrants

Was totally unprepared for how cool and beautiful Edmonton is. I'm still on East Coast time, so I've been able to watch the sun rise over the river each morning. Pairing this tranquility with some preseason Oilers this evening and will return to the US in a state of absolute bliss.

Meloni's poker face is so freaking funny

Not sure there is any constituency that makes me angrier than degrowthers. Entitled, selfish and unimaginative.

because Americans generally like America and you should wave the symbol associated with America in protests in America where your primary goal is to convince and win over Americans to your side, not some shit that only the people in your book club recognize.

Goodnight.

When a piece of equipment isn't functioning at a cement plant, 10% of the time the correct solution is just to whack the shit out of it with a hammer like this until it starts working. The other 90% takes a decade of experience or a master's in mechanical or electrical engineering.

I love how foreigners, who have actually experienced us, view the United States. "I really don't know if anything sums up America better. It's simultaneously preposterous, incredibly laughable, impressive, charming, expensive, overpopulated, wonderful. American." Tocqueville tops this, barely.

NEW: We are suing to block the unlawful deployment of National Guard troops to DC. Armed soldiers should not be policing American citizens on American soil. The forced military occupation of the District of Columbia violates our local autonomy and basic freedoms. It must end.

Me usually: social media is dogshit, this whole place needs to be lit on fire Me after a genuine experience with strangers: okay maybe Zuckerberg was right about like one or two things

The Republican Congress is going to try to rewrite the history of RFK Jr.’s confirmation as HHS Secretary. “We didn’t know” “Nobody told us” “He promised he wouldn’t…” This thread will be about the warnings from thousands of scientists and HCW who loudly and publicly opposed his confirmation.

DUCK DOWN, PUDDLES HAS LOST HIS HEAD (h/t @kwade.bsky.social)

National Guard is now tasked with picking up garbage in DC

Cement emissions are down because production is down. I'm not a steel expert, but I assume there's a correlation. China is installing 95 GW of coal generation this year.

Going on vacation tomorrow so spent Saturday night making maps of all the places in Ohio, West Virginia and South Carolina with higher violent crime and murder rates than D.C. Perhaps better places for those governors to focus resources! www.pbump.net/o/more-peopl...

Lmao. Stop lying about my city and trying to excuse this Adminstration's unprecedented actions. My neighbors and I are safer than we've ever been in 30 years. I do not need nor want FBI agents outside of my Whole Foods.

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy defiantly declared Ukraine "will not give their land to occupiers," after Trump suggested a peace deal would include 'swapping' of territories with Russia. "The answer to Ukraine's territorial question is already in the constitution of Ukraine."

Q: Should New York's independent redistricting commission should be disbanded? Gov. Kathy Hochul: "Yes. I'm tired of fighting this fight with my hand tied behind my back."

I am not a civil engineer, but building a city on rock and roll seems very dangerous. I would at least use concrete footings, jet grouting if the city is in a seismic zone

Trading my garden-grown, pickled jalapeños to my neighbors for their homemade habanero hot sauce:

I recognize that every few months more Americans are learning about the limitations the 700K residents of DC have to govern ourselves. Welcome. Support DC statehood.

Holllyyyy shit, let this man cook
