This is such an important read (gift article). "This purge will dramatically impair the ability to solve problems, prevent disease, design policy, inform the public, and make technological advancements...All that matters to Trumpists is that they can reign unchallenged over the ruins."

Ugg, I hate this.

E-Folder +trains = fastest/healthiest way to get around, for me and the climate. Treads lightly on this earth! Love my new Brompton.

The political theory behind IRA was roughly as follows: We have lost control of the information landscape and can no longer win rhetorical or purely political battles; however, if we make substantive policy progress that directly touches voters' lives, they will notice and reward us.

Aw, Pearl Jam played Temple of the Dog's "Hunger Strike" tonight in Pittsburgh and Matt Cameron is wearing a shirt with Chris Cornell's image on the back. 💜 Can't believe Chris has been gone eight years today. What a voice.

You need to read this beautiful thing that will break your heart.

PAWS Chicago has over 100 adoptable dogs, cats, puppies, and kittens, and families visited their Adoption Center Friday afternoon hoping to find a new pet.

Coming in on Chicago Ave. Skipped biking today, took transit. Glad I did, I have very fine grit in my nose and mouth after a good gust waiting for the bus.

Dust storm?!? Wtf?

I know Lower Randolph sucks. You know Lower Randolph sucks. Not everyone knows there's a better way, so I finally got around to making a video to spread the word. #bikechi youtu.be/S_n_lvnfoCg

Mood.

I love this whole thing and not just because it quotes me. extremely catty in a way I think is magnificent, especially this bit about how much the internet hates Sam Altman's coffee machine

My love of reading is strongly link to this man…

AOC: We need to be talking about ICE agents and the cowardly policy of covering their faces — and, in many cases, their identification… The idea that we’re going to allow a paramilitary force to bloom, one that isn’t accountable to the Constitution… we’ve got another thing coming.

Chicago Pope's here

The streets are so…quiet.

Every time, I will repost every time.

Definitely read this interview with @naomiaklein.bsky.social.

Ray Bradbury’s childhood library in Waukegan has been restored! It sat abandoned for quite some time (the modern day Waukegan library is a few blocks away). This is a must visit for me

I think a lot about what Carl Sagan said in one of his final interviews.

This is a new image from #JWST. The bright points with spikes are stars in the Milky Way. Everything else is a galaxy. Everything. Else. Is. A. Galaxy.

Omg, i am so glad to hear he didnt have sustained injuries. Makes me sad, and fucking furious.

Every factory on earth, except those located in the United States, can get the inputs they need from China, without paying an additional 145 percent markup.

My $0.02: This is largely a narrative driven by centrist folk punching left, not reality. A 🧵 in response.

Fellow authors, I love you, and I know it feels like we don’t have a choice, but B&N and Am*zon both scheduled sales this week to preempt Independent Bookstore Day, a hugely vital source of income for indie bookstores. Please don’t promote their sales; please promote your local indie this week.

As a person who has studied history, an autism registry is a five alarm fire.

SIGN UP if fighting against the privatization of the post office is of interest to you and/or you just want to learn more about the USPS.

The degradation of due process in America is fucking terrifying. This evil regime has to go.

Mario Vargas Llosa, the Peruvian novelist who combined gritty realism with playful erotica and depictions of the struggle for individual liberty in Latin America, while also writing essays that made him one of the most influential political commentators in the Spanish-speaking world, died in Lima.

I did not--and this is completely on me--understand the existential horror that digital collections could be under fascism. If they wanted to burn the books, they'd at least have to go manually and start torching the place. With this it's just... <DELETE> www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Illegal ideas.

Until we all started living through the slow-n-stupid coup, I thought coups were something that happened overnight.

Air pollution has dropped significantly in #Paris in the last 15 years as a result of a deliberate strategy. Mayor @annehidalgo.bsky.social’s leadership has traded car space for green space, safe bike space, kid space.. and traded pollution for people. Good trade.

Morgan Stanley analysts told investor clients that they believe the world is hurtling toward one of the most dangerous, terrifying global warming scenarios imaginable. Then they were like… this is gonna be GREAT for air conditioning stocks

"It’s difficult to overstate how existential the tariffs are for the bicycle industry. Imports account for 97% of the bikes purchased in the United States, of which 87% come from China, making it 'one of the most import-dependent and China-dependent industries'" heatmap.news/economy/trum...

Please.

So from my uniquely weird perspective after living in the UK through Brexit, being in India during Modi's demonetization, and living in Brazil when the real tanked during the Bolsonaro administration, I can confidentally say that Americans do not and can not understand how bad this is going to be.
