@agelston.bsky.social how hard would it be to get an API (or equivalent) to display the current ComEd zonal LMP on a stock ticker/simple LED board of sorts? 100/10 would buy if that was available … Even like clock radio level of sophistication on the hardware would absolutely get the job done

I'm running for U.S. Senate. Because in the state that built the American Dream, it shouldn't be this hard to get by. Join me: abdulforsenate.com/go

These videos remind me of my 7-month-old. Whatever he sees and can reach, he tries to engulf in his mouth (with widely varying degrees of success, depending on the size of the object)

Dead tariff bounce That’s the skeet

This is especially funny to me because I’ve seen near-final versions of filings with file names that actually look like this

This really needs to be a bigger story Just like the “supply chain” right after Covid started to get more under control … Give companies an inch (of real production cost pressure), and they take a mile (on retail pricing) And retail prices are a ratchet. They will NOT come back down

No, the Democratic Party isn't losing because it's Too Woke:

I love this for him. Also: brutal juxtaposition by NPR (hell yeah, @npr.org)

A certain variety of white lady influencer in red states would shriek “marking for human trafficking” if someone did this adorable Duck Duck Jeep thing to their Jeep

Please don't fall for this. Elon Musk is currently bankrolling the entire Republican Party at a level no political party in US history has ever experienced. The idea that he's not going to have exactly the level of control over policy that he wants is frankly absurd and patronizing. This is optics.

Seeing so, so many Amazon ads over on the bad place If the Bezos alignment with MAGA wasn’t clear before (and it should have been), here’s some solid evidence yet again Avoid Amazon when possible (recognizing many have no other option for cost, speed, or delivery, such as folks who are homebound)

Update — Sec’y Brainworm gutted the LIHEAP office in HHS. This will cost lives. Many of them. Nationwide.

The same people in DC who got us into this mess are not going to be the ones to get us out of it. Today I'm announcing my campaign for U.S. Senate. Because we don't have a minute to wait.

I hear people all around me saying, “They are going to crash the economy. Surely they don’t mean to crash the economy.” I beg to differ. This is curated failure. open.substack.com/pub/jesspipe...

As Bluesky has grown, I've seen a lot of backsliding on alt text. Please try to be considerate to others and include alt text with all of your images. It helps everyone. Indeed, in the "accessibility" setting in Bluesky you can set it to make sure you add alt text, which is a useful thing to do.

I am UNBELIEVABLY moved! Over 130 people attended our first public campaign event and collected an SUV’s worth of period products for Chicago’s Period Collective!!! Thank you to anyone who came!! If you want to know more about our beliefs + outreach efforts, go to katforillinois.com.

Re: “AutoPen”: MAGAts, antivaxxers, QAnon, etc. really need to understand burden of proof. Maybe not the legalese, but an example … Say I claim that Trump is an alien from Planet ZipZorp, so he can’t be president Is it on MAGA to prove he’s NOT from ZipZorp? Or is it on me to prove that he is?

Yo, fuck this! Back when Teslas were seen as liberals’ vehicles and coal-rolling (which is illegal, fwiw) shitheads would try to run them off the road, did the police take that seriously? No, they did not. But once the left is rightfully mad at Teslas, it’s this shit?! apple.news/ApB3nfcMDR9a...

A Tesla. It was a f*cking Tesla. Is that so hard to say? “Electric car” mentioned about a half-dozen times, but the word “Tesla”? Zero. It’s clear in the photo it is a Tesla, so wtf? Are we self-censoring to protect Elon’s feelings, @nbcnews.com @nbcchicago.com ??? apple.news/A38lRJc-pR1u...

I’ll say it again — Musk wants you to have to pay for a Twitter verified account to get a simple weather forecast But actually though, industry despises the fact NWS puts their data out for free … privatize absolutely everything is the plan

Elon Musk wants you to have to pay for a verified account on Twitter to get a fuckin weather forecast Pass it on

As a proud midwesterner, I say this with love … many casseroles are just “wet food” for people

To paraphrase @thunderwolf08.bsky.social … everyone in the Midwest better get to f*cking or we don’t get high speed rail! 😅😅😅

There are more us than them. There are more of us than them. There are more of us than them. Focus on the present. Work in coalitions. Abandon idealogical purity. The people must unite.

As the brave defenders of Ukraine say about Russian invaders … so is the case for the US under MAGA

Trump’s incompetence and Nazi-esque purges won’t just metaphorically “crash” the economy He will literally crash planes

It’s well past time for the gloves to come off. Republicans made Biden own every last teeny tiny thing that ever went wrong, fair or not Crazy thing is that here … this accident is *actually* likely traceable to specific actions by the new admin — like FIRING AIR TRAFFIC SAFETY PERSONNEL

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent. Opportunities are everywhere. Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉
