The Declaration of Independence specifies 27 grievances with King George III, and I count at least 15 of them that Donald Trump has also committed in whole or in part. Particularly notable right now: "He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures."

The ancient Greek experience of colour does not seem to match our own. How is this possible? Did the Greeks really see the colours of the world differently from the way we do? buff.ly/XcLOH97 #WorldOceansDay

There are ZERO riots. I am in downtown Los Angeles. There are live feeds of everything that was here and what went down in Paramount. Dudes on mini bikes making noise and people holding Fuck Ice signs etc. But no violence from protesters. None. Cannot say the same about the opposition.

One way to be a patriot right now is not to engage in doomerism. These people are fascists and they’re very dangerous. But they’re also weak, undisciplined, and unpopular. And they’re losing.

EXTREMELY BAD NEWS for economic research, per former BLS Commissioner @ericagroshen.bsky.social on LinkedIn. BLS is suspending access to its restricted data "for the forseeable future." Applies to projects through the Federal Statistical Research Data Centers & onsite projects with BLS. #EconSky

My first walk over the new Queensboro Bridge dedicated pedestrian path! It’s so nice to be separated from bikes on the other side, but ugh @nyc-dot.bsky.social didn’t lift a finger to make it a nice experience. It’s also unfinished on the Queens side, with no hardening against wayward drivers!

Hey @pressherald.com @bangordailynews.bsky.social @mainepublic.org Here's someone very prominent stating the obvious about Collins! Instead of reprinting her press releases, ask her what she's actually doing

The Ocean is North America's oldest named passenger rail service. Since 1904, it's linked #Halifax to #Montreal, via Sandford Fleming's Intercolonial Railway line. It's a sleeper, and the food, service, and scenery are outstanding. I document our trip in my feature in #London's @thetimes.com 🛤️🧵

Open AI’s valuation is at $400 billion. They used about 190,000 books to train their plagiarism bot. Randomly saying 25% of their value comes from that stolen dataset, I think they owe the authors about $526,000 per stolen book.
