Voted! 🗳️ Landers and Mamdani top two for mayor. Didn't rank Cuomo 🤞

I just want to know who picked the font

The plunder of our seas by industrial fishing is a monstrosity in which almost everyone unwittingly collaborates. For decades this truth has been deliberately hidden from us. Now at last the consensus is cracking. This week's column. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

At an IHOP for the very first time in my life. It’s fine. ★★★☆☆

Spoiler alert: this is largely the failure of Trumps tax changes from his 1st term - “Since the start of 2023, more than half-a-million tech workers have been laid off.” www.professoraxelrod.com/p/the-tech-j...

From a dear comrade who was kind enough to let me share their video. Veterans stage a sit-in on the US Capitol steps and say, “Military off our streets!” Hell yeah!

Not usually one to cross-post from LinkedIn, but here we are: I’m joining product folks from Newswell, ProPublica, Texas Tribune, and LAist on a panel at the @newsproduct.org Summit in Chicago later this year. If you work in media + product, it’s worth being in the room. newsproduct.org/summit

Likely just me, but anyone else getting this when they click on @nytimes.com stories?

We just launched a chart archive at @restofworld.org . Every chart we’ve published now has its own page, making the data easier to find, share, and reuse. A small project with a big footprint. restofworld.org/inside/chart...

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving. There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later. They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

ICE crossed a line in LA

Here are some texts I got from an immigration lawyer friend of mine. Shared with permission. Some of the bleakest shit I’ve ever heard.

A father screams for his child from a tiny interview room within a basement waiting room inside LA federal building. The space is not a holding area. No food. No water. No diapers. Those initially detained include a 2-year-old US citizen and a woman with high-risk pregnancy.

live from the huge spontaneous anti-ICE protest after the agency used military-style tactics during a series of raids in Los Angeles today.

Not complaining but I’m a little surprised by the lack of quality Transformers G1 conversation on BlueSky. Just sayin.

Adding Ireland to an FX 'Monitoring list'? Did they check wikipedia... We're... manipulating the Euro?

More professionalism from the NYPD: “the video confirmed what they had feared for months: that the police left him to die.” www.nytimes.com/2025/06/05/n...

Every time out staging environment goes down I grumble in public but inevitably it becomes clear that the fault was mine. In this case a missing comma when I added a new item to an array 🫥

A record number of people are leaving the Philippines to work in Taiwanese semiconductor factories, where they face long shifts, low pay, unequal treatment and the threat of deportation, report Hsiuwen Liu and @michaelbeltran.bsky.social for @restofworld.org restofworld.org/2025/filipin...

In moments where I need a break from what I'm doing I'll run PageSpeed tests against a web page I've built, have my moment of smugness/control, and then get back to the task at hand pagespeed.web.dev/analysis/htt...
