Hegseth on trial now

All fools

This is so embarrassing. Trump is so weak and desperate

"you just want to have a beer with him" I absolutely fucking did not, thank you very much

Today is the anniversary of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act. Not only did the law literally open doors to countless students with disabilities (myself included), it also had the unintended consequence of creating the moral panic around an autism "epidemic." 🧵 1/

Imagine if we directed the same relentless energy toward building better cities that we currently waste on making excuses for why we can't.

About to take a walk around the block. It's 46f in Oakland so who knows if I'll make it back. Thank you for your prayers

I am so ready for Me Too, Chapter Two

In seriousness, though: Too many guys dodged this the first time.

2 feminist 2 critical of heterosexuality’s eroticization of sexual force

People will say anything on here. “We used to be a proper country,” no we didn’t. That’s not true.

I think these things are related in a way that we need to seriously understand and figure out how to work around. The decision-making functions in society are broken. A rudderless system steering itself into the iceberg against all countervailing evidence.

Prove this isn't a filthy lie

Columbia and Northwestern are the academic homes to the most prestigious journalism schools in the country and they are the two universities that caved to the Trump administration’s extortion demands that are directly connected to the First Amendment. Just gonna sit with that for a while.

"In recent history, the Doctor Who actor has repeatedly made headlines thanks to his allyship towards trans and gender non-conforming people – most notably with a subtle gesture during a TV interview that wound up helping to raise £18,000 for the LGBTQ+ youth charity AKT."

Australia just recorded zero cervical cancer cases in women under 25 for the first time since records began in 1982. The amazing result of HPV vaccination.

Since you won mayor whoever is managing your social media has stopped using alt text. Can you please start again?

Fucking murderous

calmly explaining why we shouldn't bomb random venezuelan boats to people who argued we should torture random iraqis and then won an election by saying they were against a war they advocated for

honestly, if you said the goal of this administration was to make cocaine as cheap and plentiful as possible, it would explain like 75% of their actions

So embarrassing for generations to come

My office is a couple miles from this super wealthy town. I commute on bike and those sharrows aren't giving a lot of confidence

We call emergency community meetings to debate the "dangers" of ebikes, but systemic vehicular violence continues to get a pass from society at large.

Newsflash KDH is entirely delightful goodnight children

To put a finer point on this whole thing: "Two people with direct knowledge of the operation" — presumably uniformed military leaders — are accusing the U.S. Secretary of Defense of personally ordering specific war crimes. That's a historic accusation.

The first shoe was brilliant. The second shoe is what made it into art. Nobody expects the second shoe.

imagine what we could be doing if the federal government wasn't actively trying to throttle the growth of this industry

Introduce yourself with five concerts you've seen: Thompson Twins My Bloody Valentine Grace Jones Belle and Sebastian Shirley Bassey

don’t go chasing butterballs please stick to the stuffing and the gravy you’re used to I know that you're gonna gobble turkey or nothing at all but I think you're chewing too fast

Absolute horror. May the victims rest in peace.

IMO the weird exception some supposed leftists seem to make for condemning-the-theft-of-labor-except-art-lol-steal-that-shit is just a weird intersection with puritan "if you enjoy yourself, it's not a real job" brainworms. "fun" job = member of the leisure class (ROFL) = fair game. Somehow.

fuck you the memories of a generation lost because of Reagan's homophobia will not be erased i think we should do something in DC that would make david wojnarowicz proud tbh

As one of her first groomers ...

The word 'Orwellian' is overused, but calling countries with active human rights protections 'human rights violators' is pure doublespeak.

Is a metal watch band a bracelet? Is this regional? As a west-coast non-jeweler I'm genuinely curious

I give a rare agree on a novelty bike rack. They are generally garbage

One, obviously

lol "beating up racists is a terrible idea" since when?

Cherry pickers and a crescent moon from the Capitol Corridor, Oakland, CA

My new mantra is no one-pot rice dishes. It is always shit

every traffic death is a policy choice

Same

What an asshole. Imagine choosing to be being boomer-preachy this as a transportation priority

Trump: so if I recite this 'shahada' and implement a bunch of social programs, I get into heaven? Mamdani: that's right, Mr. President Trump: and when do I get one of those cool rugs? I always thought those looked neat. like rolling out a little red carpet for yourself every few hours

Holy shiz Mamdabi turned Trump into a chump on Trump's home field. Skillz. www.youtube.com/live/fD9h8xI...

the gulf between the swift brutality with which places like harvard treated students protesting genocide and the endless, endless latitude those same institutions have given people like larry summers tells you everything you need to know

Did Ryan Lizza ever get his bamboo problem under control? Or is he saving that resolution for Part 2?

Oakland 25mph citywide

It turns out the built environment is not a straightforward expression of consumer preference, nor a perverse invention of an evil cabal, but in fact a secret third thing.

"NO BUILDINGS" is peak fire safety
