Let’s be clear: ICE injured and detained the president of SEIU California for peacefully observing. ICE picked the wrong side. The wrong state. The wrong person. and the wrong union. David Huerta stood up. And now 750,000 SEIU workers are standing up behind him. seiuca.org/press-releas...

In 1936, FDR closed out his re-election campaign by bragging to a massive crowd at Madison Square Garden that “organized money” hated him “and I welcome their hatred.” He took 60% of the vote in a 523-8 electoral college landslide. FDR knew having the right enemies could be a useful thing.

In amongst all the excitement I fear many have missed this outstanding bit of trolling by Friedrich Merz. The Chancellor gifted Trump a gilded framed copy of his grandfather’s German birth certificate... reminding Americans that Trump is both the child and grandchild of migrants.

Sayre's Law: "In any dispute the intensity of feeling is inversely proportional to the value of the issues at stake." Some versions make it specific to academic debates: "Academic politics are so vicious precisely because the stakes are so small." I have thoughts on WHY this is so.

I'm seeing this image circulating around and I can't help to notice that we have a way better expression in Portuguese: "In this dispute, I cheer for the fight". Briguem, desgraçados. Briguem. XD

The CPSC has announced the recall of Midea's line of U-shaped air conditioners, which I had reported had gone missing for @aftermath.site. This impacts both Canada and the United States. The article has been updated to reflect this. aftermath.site/midea-u-shap... bsky.app/profile/cpsc...

Everything sucks so I treated myself to a newspapers.com subscription and I’ve already gotten my money’s worth by discovering that in the 1920s and 30s they reported on everything the locals did. Apparently my grandparents went to their friend’s house on a Saturday night in July of 1936.

I think a lot about how Aaron Swartz committed suicide while facing a probably long jail sentence for download some of JSTOR, but no one at Meta is going to face any repercussions for using all of Libgen to train its AI.

this post is generating a lot of debate over on the everything app but in my experience it just isn't true that this is a new phenomenon. people have always looked to date someone with similar values.

Spent lot of time getting to know Palantir as I put together my reporting on their expanding federal contracts. One thing I kept hearing was worry Palantir would be wedded to the Trump administration’s political agenda. If you work there, and want to talk about this more my signal is in my bio.

one of my overriding beliefs is that sports betting should in fact be restricted to seedy bars where you have to place bets with a guy named something like Vito Four Fingers rather than being easily accessible with a couple clicks on your phone know what you're getting into

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy: “The New York City subways are full of people ON DRUGS who are COMMITTING CRIMES.” Me at 8:30am on the subway: watches a guy coming home from a rave tell a couple that their baby is so cherubic it makes him want to be a father

Yesterday I had to red pill a friend with a reliably liberal voting record about trusting the NY Times. It’s another reminder how much of an outlier liberals who understand the NY Times being a problem is.

Not part of the conversation today, but I continue to think it’s fairly obvious that we would not be in the current situation if we had much higher marginal income tax rates at the high end, a proper estate tax and a wealth tax There is no long-term solution without them

So, as you might know, I have been in the process of tracking the activities of DOGE staff across the federal government. And now I've built an auto-updating website to browse the data It's not done (lots more content to write), but news is moving fast, so here it is dogetrack.info Enjoy!

Puffins are social, so to attract them to Maine's rocky islands, National Audubon's Seabird Restoration Program put out decoys to attract real birds. This puffin is trying to fit in with his new friend by standing on one leg. Seabird peer-pressure can be intense. (📷: Robert F. Bukaty)

And I know I said this already, but it bears repeating: Even if there are many real accounts, and even if the money gets to them, the fundamental reason for the imminent famine is not a shortage of cash. Cash does not solve the problem here, and it is a very developed-country bias to think it does
