car-free mobility as anti-poverty tool

At this point I officially refer to it as the "Crisis of the 21st Century."

“You may be held at the port of entry or a nearby detention facility. The Australian government cannot intervene on your behalf, and our ability to provide consular assistance in these circumstances may be limited.”

KNIVES OUT. Intellectual Property drives American innovation because it drives equality. The term “Inventors and Authors” was a revolution in 1787 b/c a women could be “author” or up until 1858 anyways, even an enslaved person could be “Inventor.”

If an administration can get away with falsifying social security records to target individuals, then there is no bottom. There's also no such thing as a "citizen" because that can be changed with a couple button presses too. Mark your SSN and passport as dead then ship you to El Salvador.

“BRING HIM HOME” 🔥

Fight the oligarchy rally in LA. I love Bernie and AOC. Livestream. www.youtube.com/live/61aaIYM...

Honestly if Tronald Dump and Melon Husk continue to cut the government and turn this country into a "libertarian Utopia" the best outcome is being overrun by burly gay men.

It's official. #StarWars

Probably fine. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Take a very first look at what the annotations inside the #StarWars #RevengeoftheSith Deluxe edition will look like, coming this October. Ultimately we opted for footnotes. Other designs (like side margin annotations) crunched the text too much, but footnotes space everything nicely. (1/3)

The 245-year-old American Academy of Arts & Sciences releases a statement rejecting assaults on scholarly and cultural institutions, the rule of law, & open inquiry--and calls on all Americans to "help fortify" democratic civic culture. www.amacad.org/news/board-s...

Ambassador Spock modeling the proper “fuck you, make me” response to intimidation tactics. Our current-day institutions could learn a lot from him.

If you can guess what it is you get... uh... a like.

Restarting my UCS Republic Light Assault Cruiser design. Going with larger engines and a SNOT technique.

USA Fencing's statement. Good to see an organization showing some backbone.

The National Science Foundation slashed the number of graduate research fellowships awarded each year to the most promising young researchers in half. This is how we make America great? By defunding support for our best and brightest young minds? This is pure idiocy www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Hi! Are you a US researcher who spent time thinking about humans? Then your work is in danger of censorship and loss. I'm here to walk you through basic self-archiving. Maybe you think I am being hyperbolic. You only worked on bacteria! Not your problem. Do me a favor and join me anyway.

Kidnapping. Capturing a person against their will without due process is called kidnapping. Transporting them to another country without due process is called human trafficking. A squalid extrajudicial prison for people found guilty of no crime is called a concentration camp.

Welcome the Pakled Clumpship to #StarTrekOnline ! The Clumpship in game is based on those seen in Season 2 of #StarTrek Lower Decks. @thomasthecat.bsky.social allowed me to use the knowledge I've gained working on STO so far to provide ample color customization options to match what we see :)

For fossil and history enthusiasts, you'll love this new book from Caroline Winterer, eminent Stanford historian. A compelling story, of fossils and culture intertwined, exploring America's long and complicated relationship with the idea of deep time!
