Harper told ESPN shortly after his selection by the Spurs that he’s looking forward to teaming with Wemby and Castle as part of the team's young core. "I think when you play with a bunch of great players it brings out the best in you," Harper said. www.expressnews.com/sports/spurs...

Mission accomplished: Out the door to primary vote at 6:01am ET. Quiet and quick, except for the 85° “feels like” 90° with 72% humidity. Ta da

Heh, folks. This all belongs to the American people.

🚨 GAME 7 IN 3 HOURS on ABC 🚨

I went to San Francisco’s No Kings protest. The reports I’ve seen of 3000 protesters are low by at least an order of magnitude. 30 wide march, 10 rows a minute, for 2.5 hours that I was there.

‘Khalil was released after U.S. District Judge Michael Farbiarz said it would be “highly, highly unusual” for the government to continue detaining a legal U.S. resident who was unlikely to flee and hadn’t been accused of any violence.’

Glad to know Mahmoud Khalil is finally getting time with his baby boy—time that should never have been taken away from him by our government simply for using his freedom of speech to peacefully advocate for babies in Gaza.

Whoa, Integral was bought by Electric Bike Company and they're getting rid of existing stock to make room for new models. You can get a longtail with hydraulic brakes, TWO batteries, front rack, etc. for $999 ($1275 w/ cushions and guardrail). integralelectrics.com/products/the...

Seattle’s leaders likely realize that once enough people start biking, there’s no going back to car supremacy. Since this city became majority-renter the power of landlords has waned. Similarly, more people biking and walking will cause people to hate cars and want them out of their neighborhoods.

Problem: rain. Solution: train!

Workaccount2 on Hacker News just coined the term "context rot" to describe the thing where the quality of an LLM conversation drops as the context fills up with accumulated distractions and dead ends news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4430...

Today in Conservation Success Stories Please see alt text for more detail on the recovery of Bald Eagles from the endangered list. Today I see these magnificent birds almost every time I head out on observations.

Limit the president’s power. He’s shown that he’s going to push the limits of the law when it serves his purpose. We need more than one elected official involved in making decisions like going to war.

What is common knowledge in your field but shocks outsiders? All software has bugs. Many we already know about, and some we don’t. It’s impossible to fix all the bugs.

The aging star has reportedly identified San Antonio as his preferred trade destination. The Spurs need a consistent shooter to space the floor, but the Suns' asking price appears to be too high. www.expressnews.com/sports/spurs...

Pair writing is best writing because: - we write to communicate - collaborating is communicating - comments and tracked changes are bad ways to communicate on their own, but comments help you have better conversations

Congrats!

Stay away from all Meta products! They violate the privacy of everyone with Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. “Meta’s long record of violations….its lack of cooperation with regulatory investigations…and the clear intent to bypass all technical and legal protections established for users.”

Based on crowd-sourced records of No Kings Day event turnout, and extrapolating for the cities where we don't have data yet, it looks like roughly 4-6 million people protested Trump across the U.S. yesterday. That's nearly 2% of the U.S. pop! Mobilized anti-Trump resistance is exceeding 2017 levels

the story today is of a profoundly low energy military parade being met with millions of americans in nationwide protests denouncing the dictatorial pretensions of the president

Coal mines have their canaries, and massive public gatherings are attracting—among others—concerned introverts #NoKings

The political shootings in Minnesota today were shocking and must be condemned in the strongest possible terms. Political violence is never the answer. It is not who we are as Americans.

Way to represent, NYC! #NoKings #Democracy

Wow! The first light rail on a floating bridge. Amazing feat of design, architecture, engineering, and construction.
