@raskin.house.gov: "The whole anti-corruption crusade is an absolute fraud. They started by decimating the ranks of the inspectors general. These are the people whose job is actually, day in and day out, 365 days a year, to ferret out waste, fraud and abuse in the departments and the agencies."

No one alive will experience a better climate than today. But young people will experience a much more dangerous and chaotic world in the future, and the extent to which that happens will depend on our choices today. Trump doesn't care because he's old and a sociopath. www.ipcc.ch/report/ar6/s...

It's not just the money, either. A venue manager told me that when they're setting up her show, she went out and introduced herself to the locals doing the work to thank them. He said that's the only act he's ever seen do that. You don't have to be a fan of her music to be a fan of Taylor Swift.

The irony of the richest man in the world almost single-handedly destroying an agency designed to help the world’s poor, so that the U.S. federal budget has more room for another giant tax cut for the richest man in the world and his pals, should not be lost on anyone. [Cartoon by Mike Luckovich]

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or “controversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country

Global warming results from us abusing the global carbon cycle by releasing trillions of tonnes of CO₂ into the atmosphere. The only way to fix this is to stop burning fossil fuels. There is no other way. 📈: @edhawkins.org

The most wilfully ignorant are often the most certain of their view. Tow truck starts harassing me on my bike in a bus lane. Without any sense of irony, ranting that I shouldn’t be in the bus lane, despite a specific law. Told him to google it, but we know he won’t.

Yup, @jamellebouie.net has this exactly right. What these guys are celebrating/pursuing/yearning for is not masculine energy, it's adolescent energy. Drinking Red Bull, crushing Call of Duty, refusing to clean your room. It is indescribably pathetic. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/18/o...

The year is 2035. I meet President AOC in the Oval Office. "You've done well," she says. "By telling men to dress gay, you've lowered the population rate by 90%, thereby reducing carbon emissions." She slides me a manilla envelope. I can now afford a home in a walkable neighborhood
