This is the most wretched campaign of deliberate, explicit persecution the United States has perpetrated against a minority group in decades. Many of the most important people in politics and journalism are busying themselves trying to figure out how little to say or do about it.

The thing that I’ve always found to be the most upsetting thing about trans bans in sports is how, because there are so few trans women athletes, this is the Federal government going up to the 34 trans athletes at the college level and saying “fuck you specifically”.

Why are we contemplating turning public streets into gas stations? Let the car industry figure this stuff out on its own without a big sacrifice of public space These particular things are incredibly ugly. Just say no

Thank you jetblue, without this in app message that “you are in the air” I’d have no idea my flight was currently in the air.

Been seeing some prominent folks, including mutuals(!!!), posting Gen AI “art” of Trump in various states of humiliation. I understand the impulse, but this is abetting theft of labor. Gen AI is founded on organized crime by the tech industry. Please, just don’t do it. It’s wrong.

It's bold for my bank to email me from a department called "wealth management." When it comes to me they should just call it "coin handling."

Trump campaigned on the obvious lie that he wouldn't further restrict abortion; within hours of being sworn in, the know your rights page ReproductiveRights.Gov was taken down. So, hopefully this is helpful:

This is a story I've been waiting to read. It's incredibly satisfying — to the point of tears — to finally read something that reflects the reality that I personally know to be true. www.latimes.com/california/s...

this is incredible stuff. most state DOTs would spend tens of billions on highway expansions to try and see numbers like this (that wouldn’t even pan out anyway thanks to induced demand lol)

I’m willing to bet that most of us pay more per month in underused streaming/cable fees than the cost of an annual magazine or newspaper subscription (eg $50 NY Mag). Subscribe more, read more, support what matters to you, stop whining about paywalls

Today there's discussion about A Man (and the ppl around him) and it can feel like an isolated story about one person, a monster. But we just had the Pelicot et al trial in France. In that case, the shock was about how common the men were, just normal dudes. Pls connect all of this in your brain.

I have no idea how this curriculum could be implemented, but I think we need to train people how to be wrong. We need to engrain from birth how to change your mind when presented with new evidence. People are so, so bad at this and I think it causes more societal problems than we realize.

If you want to know how congestion pricing benefits the working class, this is a big part of the story. A lot of working people take the bus in NYC--many times the number who drive. Early reports suggest that buses are moving faster in and around the congestion zone. That is a real win.
