I'll summarize this: Mamdani asked NYers to keep air conditioning at 78 degrees. A wave criticism hit online. A MSNBC broadcast pointed out the US Department of Energy recommends that 78 degree figure. Immediately after, the US Department of Energy deleted 6,000 web pages related to energy saving.

June 2024- 206,000 jobs "U.S. Job Growth Extends Streak, but Signs of Concern Emerge" July 2024 - 114,000 jobs "Job Market Slows Significantly, Raising Economic Jitters" .... June 2026 - 57,000 jobs (with #economists predicting 115,000) - "U.S. Hiring Continues at Steady Pace...wage gains solid" 🤔

a worrying escalation

If the law explicitly says X, and you claim the law says X while I claim the law says Y, then you’re right and I’m wrong. But the current standard in the US is that if the law says X but Republicans feel Y, everyone must pretend the law says Y, or at least that Y is a reasonable interpretation.

Frankly if American voters (and courts and law enforcement) did *not* want corruption and idiocracy they sure had a weird way of showing it

The two most plausible explanations for this most dangerous move are: 1) Trump plans to sell this extremely valuable information to foreign states and make billions and billions. 2)The US is run by an agent of a foreign country that desperately needs this information.

After all, if you need to search two or three times to get the answers to your questions, that means the company can show you two or three times as many ads: pluralistic.net/2024/04/24/n... 15/

To put Ukraine's use of drones against the sinews of Russia's economy into context, it's worth considering the impact a hostile cartel might have on the American Southwest if it used even a fraction of Ukraine's drone capabilities against transport infrastructure on the US side of the border

And did we tell you the name of the game, boy? We call it riding the gravy train

I set myself a reminder to post this last week on the date itself and forgot. Better late than never, eh, Russian official?

Wow. Big crowds at the the Epstein-Trump memorial festival.

Everyone is talking about Trump’s mock up arch at the Great American State Fair, so I filmed it from top to bottom and front to back for everyone who can’t see it in person.

old enough to remember how these were supposed to eliminate half of Ukrainian army with one shot

very smart

Well, at least it is not unsigned.

"Kui parun Carl Gustav Emil Mannerheim sai 1915. aasta algul Georgi ordeni 4. järgu ordeni, siis oli tema rõõm siiras ja piiritu. Kirjas õele tunnistas Mannerheim, et võib nüüd rahulikult surra."

What a lighter sentence over “LGBT literature extremism” costs in today’s Russia: a book-sales director humiliating himself in court, denouncing his colleagues and almost volunteering for the war: “If not for my heart attack, I’d go to the front” en.zona.media/article/2026...

❗️The Netherlands is buying 700 Ruta Block 2 cruise missiles for Ukraine in a €250 million package, NRC reported. The AI-guided weapons carry a 250 kg warhead, fly at low altitude and have a range exceeding 700 km, allowing strikes beyond Moscow. #Ukraine

Kui ma noor olin, siis valiti presidenti nii, et need, kes said kandidaate esitada, esitasid oma variandid ja siis need, kellel oli hääleõigus, valisid nende vahel, kuni üks sai hääled kokku - et kui paremat varianti ei ole, siis äkki kaaluks seda?

“I carry with me a photo of a Muslim child who, during my visit to Lebanon, was standing there holding a sign that said ‘Welcome, Pope Leo,’ and in this latest phase of the war, he was killed. “As a Church, I say again: as a pastor, I cannot be in favor of war.” — Pope Leo XIV

Starmer is unironically the closest gov to just ending immigration the UK will have for a long, long while I'm betting right now all my savings that Farage will let in statistically more people in but nobody will care because he'll very publicly deport 20 guys to Pitcairn and say slurs

2/ The headline: 75% of Britons now want a closer relationship with the EU; only 8% want a more distant one. Among Leave voters it's 66–15. Ask people what Brexit's benefits are and the top answer is "don't know," followed by "none of the above."

To the British out there: what does it actually mean if someone is a "rock by your side" in good times and bad? If you're a ship that sounds like a bad thing and if you're not a ship, well, then the rock seems to be irrelevant. What am I missing here?

If, in 2022, the West had provided Ukraine with weapons of the same capabilities as those Ukraine has since developed for itself, fascist Russia could have been defeated by now, and tens of thousands of Ukrainian lives could have been saved.
