Donald Trump was raised Presbyterian and now calls himself a non-denominational Christian. There's plenty of reasons to slander the Catholic church but Pope Francis all but said don't vote for the Orange Turd.

the media won't cover it like this, because they like Trump, but anti-vax shit is like seriously, seriously unpopular, in every poll. Deeply toxic opinion. Vaccine requirements for school kids are 70% for vs 28% against incl. majority of GOP voters www.pewresearch.org/science/2023...

I know antifa isn't a real organization because I don't get 40 texts a week from them asking for donations.

the more i think about it the dumber it seems to put what trump is currently doing to america on the same level as, like, NAFTA or whatever

Here are some shingles, different house. Upper right is fake brick tarpaper shingle stuff. Then you’ve got real brick, that bluish siding, and that rough stucco-like material.

I like how they broke up the massing by using every material they could think of

Going long on Columbo-murderer-core interiors

This is an extremely Chicago-sounding policy idea

Martin Luther King Jr. Day was voted on 15 years after the assassination and 22 senators voted "no."

really happy with the thermally-modified wood soffits (balconies and tower cantilever) and how much it matches the exposed CLT deck (tall canopy photo right). they're not actually the same color but it ties the buildings together better than I'd imagined. lol at the little palm trees on the balcs.

I yearn for Democratic Party spines to materialize but instead get damp toast

Shortly after I moved to CA there was a recall election of Gov Davis and I thought it was bonkers & I didn't vote for it (or any other recall since)- And now it's open season on anyone people have a policy disagreement with Via @missionlocal.org @esksf.bsky.social missionlocal.org/2025/09/joel...

You could literally just toss meth in any (open) fire, or destroy it even more easily without using fire at all, but for some reason the FBI used an animal carcass incinerator in a negatively pressurized animal shelter to smoke 2 pounds of meth with all the staff and animals in the building

If you really need to carry a lot of stuff and want an electric vehicle this gets 270 miles per charge and your stuff won't get stolen out of the back like in a pickup: 2025 BrightDrop share.google/TAQMAlMmJ9ui...

Senator Cabaldon speaks in support, discussing the need to pass the bill to make transit self-sufficient.

Today, the Center for Building published “Beyond Zoning” by John Zeanah, Memphis’s Chief of Development and Infrastructure. He chronicles the non-zoning barriers faced by Malone Commons, a low-rise multifam/mixed-use project, and how they worked through them www.centerforbuilding.org/publication/...

Pet parrots which typically live alone (whilst those in the wild live in large flocks) were given the technology to call each other. They would use it for up to three hours a day, and developed favourite friends 💔 on.ft.com/3K05vhS

I work at a national park that serves 150,000 visitors a year. We currently have 23 permanent employees.

The gentleman from Kentucky is right.

The saga of procuring custom trash bins in San Francisco continues, with only one bidder qualifying of two submitted. I still don't understand why they insisted on this complicated design (there is a tester right near my house) missionlocal.org/2025/09/s-f-... via @missionlocal.org

So how about them Bills?? Maybe I was the only one who watched the game.

For my next decree every child in the land shall attend Forest School on one day of the week. At Forest School, children will build dens, cook outdoors, climb trees, scrape knees, learn bird calls, identify plants and fungi, squabble, negotiate, lead, and drink hot sweet tea.

PSA: this is how to use a tree watering bag, don't put it around the base of the tree.

Getting reprimanded by your Golden God on national TV is gonna sting for the Table Folk for a bit. And he's right of course.

Imagine if RFK and co destroy childhood vaccination in the US? A 50% decline in childhood vaccination could result in 51.2 million measles cases over a 25-y period, 9.9 million rubella cases, 4.3 million polio cases, 10.3 million hospitalizations, and 159 200 deaths jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

Los Angeles has done nothing but export their housing problem to the inland empire, Ventura and high desert LA City Council Member Padilla unmasked last week saying why they oppose this so much. They lose power and the ability to influence what gets built. Also tried to claim it’s “unfunded mandate”

I am a big pro-urbanization guy. I would not make excuses for people kidnapping, enslaving, raping, and murdering other people based on skin color or gender identity, even if doing so got me some bike paths or apartment buildings. Solidarity is solidarity. Some things are more important.

Students being progressive is not a bigger problem than a sustained assault by an authoritarian president, please get a grip www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Xi-Putin-Modi backslapping, along with easing global condemnation for Russia's aggressive war of territorial conquest, gives a sense of what the post-American world looks like. Not some sort of peaceful utopia, but a playground for authoritarians, with aggression abroad and repression at home.

this is what i mean when i say the suburbs can't be retrofitted

i can't imagine why congestion has gotten so much worse everywhere. surely it has absolutely nothing to do with the average car on the road being significantly larger than 30 years ago.

Pope Leo XIV meets with one of the most prominent advocates for greater LGBTQ inclusion in the Catholic Church and encouraged his ministry, just days before a planned Holy Year pilgrimage of LGBTQ Catholics to the Vatican.
