Trump, talking at Fort Bragg right now about Los Angeles, is doing something I'm not sure I've ever seen a president do: he's actively maligning people in Los Angeles — an American city — in front of U.S. troops. And the troops are applauding. As an Army brat myself, this strikes me as very new.

Did ICE call in a fake emergency to the FDNY to give cover to a van leaving full of immigrants? They've done it before and looks like they've done it again. @hellgatenyc.com with the scoop. hellgatenyc.com/fdny-ice-hea...

I’m on a day trip to Chicago, and I’m using my unscheduled hour to see the Spider-Man exhibit that @djpatrickareed.bsky.social co-curated at the Museum of Science and Industry. A casual fan, this is filling in so many bits I didn’t understand!

Hexagons aren't always MQ-9s, but in this case, yes, there are two MQ-9 Reapers over LA today. Just ridiculous.

If you played an instrument back in high school and stopped: we are in a golden age of decent cheap instruments. The guitars are better, the amps are better. The pedals are cheaper, the wind instruments are actually instruments and not just shaped like them, etc. Jump back into it.

The conditions that have led to what’s happening in the US today exist in democracies around the world. They are an inevitable outcome of our collective failure to adapt to fundamental changes in the information ecosystem on which our democracies were originally built.

The resistance to the E-Verify system isn’t just about Texas Republicans’ reluctance to regulate business, a former adviser to U.S. Sen. John Cornyn said. It’s about how such a system could impact the state’s labor supply and economy. With @texastribune.org‬

Multiple visually-impaired people i know have said, repeatedly, that the best intervention for them in cases of missing alt text isn't to scold people; it's to simply ADD A USEFUL IMAGE DESCRIPTION IN A REPLY. If you want to actually help visually-impaired people, just HELP, don't be an asshole.
