They are so unbelievably and terribly desperate. You don’t do things like this unless you are scraping the bottom of the barrel for revenue and adoption. This is the ultimate form of the tech industry: a despicable, wretched, entitled, destructive, abusive digital despot that wants to con your kids.

it is absolutely true that lincoln tried not to get too far afield of public opinion on slavery, calibrating his positions and actions according to what he thought was the mainstream. but it is important to note that at no point did lincoln ever disavow or deny his sincerely held antislavery views

Boasberg: "Absent this relief, the Government could snatch anyone off the street, turn him over to a foreign country, and then effectively foreclose any corrective course of action." An unassailable point. The fact that the U.S. government is fighting this tells you what you need to know.

this story is just a great illustration of NIMBY nihilism. at core, these people have no vision for anything. they simply oppose change for the sake of opposition. (i also think there is an element of death denial here — if i can prevent all physical changes i can deny the reality of my mortality)

Yeah okay I get that there’s broad generalization and hyperbole in here, but you’d think the folks confidently dunking “lol you idiot this is literally not a thing” would see the many many many many people being like “wow this is absolutely a thing” and pause, briefly,

I'm gonna sound like I'm 97 years old (I'm 41) but ... an optimized life is a boring life. Trying to control everything is both exhausting and largely pointless. Friction makes life interesting, and there's almost no friction in modern life thanks to tech.

“We had a clear path to clean up the methane problem ... But that pathway has been shut down by the current administration.” From @mckennapr.bsky.social at @insideclimatenews.org: Current expansion plans would increase U.S. gas exports, increasing emissions and pollution.

The White House's stated intent to use expedited removal for this guy's family is flatly ILLEGAL. By law, expedited removal ONLY applies to people not admitted at a port of entry, or here without having been "admitted or paroled" into the US. But his family was admitted at an airport on visas!

I've seen folks talk about how "in four years" they'll be able to get back to their planned projects and I really don't think that's going to work out. People & projects losing funding now will not be able to hit pause and come back once funding is restored. Hard-won progress & capacity will be lost

HAWLEY: Let's see the Trump chart. You don't think it's a little bit anomalous that Trump has so many more nationwide injunctions against him? KATE SHAW: A very plausible explanation you have to consider is that he's engaged in much more lawless activity than other presidents

Its been said a million times but a gentle reminder of why UPS wants to get rid of the United States Postal Service is b/c they don't want to compete I use a shipping service and to compete with USPS as part of that service look how much UPS has to "discount" rates from retail for international.

If I can be real for a moment, what frightens me most right now is that David Brooks is more upset about Trump-Musk than many, maybe most, liberal pundits and Democratic leaders are.

I sometimes think about this when driving (I was alive before frequent GPS but didn’t drive until my 20s when it was ubiquitous). Then I see the big green signs that say what major city road goes to and tbh that’s more helpful than my GPS half the time.

Johnathan Joss died a hero. He was murdered for being gay, he went out protecting his trans husband from being executed. They burned down their home and killed their pets and then they murdered Joss while trying to murder his husband. The New York times can barely muster "fatally shot." I hate this.
