Trump officials are trying to sneak around federal judges’ orders. They could be held in civil contempt of court, which can include jail time and can’t be undone with a presidential pardon, according to @sbagen.bsky.social . My latest for @theguardian.com www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

I encourage all those in New York City in favor of Congestion Pricing to attend this rally today. Keeping this law in effect benefits so many... the disabled, elderly, those with young children, bicyclists, pedestrians, the environment, reducing pollution & crowded roads, etc. In memory of Robyn!

Vocabulary is conceptual knowledge. Words are gateways to concepts. Upgrade your personal lexicon. You'll have a broader intuitive grasp of things. If you're teaching or debating, though? De-academize that shit. Don't make me hate your major. (I'm looking at you, philosophy grads.)

Answering some questions: the series covers the first novella "All Systems Red," I'm a consulting producer, and we've been working on it since 2021. (So it seems fast from the timing of the announcements but it has actually taken a million years in me-time.)

Yikes! Not great news for those of us who do wear high vis, reflective clothing. Drivers really should keep their eyes on the road but car manufacturers also need to test these things before releasing the product into the urban wilds #waroncars @sgoodyear.bsky.social

I think what I find so repellent about the far-right is the sheer nihilism at its core. For all the talk of culture and identity, they are just flimsy masks strapped over, in Arendt's words "the intoxication of destruction as an actual experience, dreaming the stupid dream of producing the void.”

Incredible news! More hospitals have returned to offering gender affirming care after Trump's executive order was blocked. Moments after publishing our story on hospitals returning, Childrens National DC announced a return to care. And JUST now, Colorado Children's is back to giving care! AMAZING

The evolution of doge from a cute internet meme to a fascist icon is basically the plot of "The Waldo Moment" episode of Black Mirror. Fascists don't just steal our freedom. They also steal the silly, fun pop culture moments that make life bearable. That's why joy is resistance too.

AI already “thinks” too many sick people are getting coverage from its healthcare products so it executes a bunch of disabled people by denying them life-sustaining care. AI doesn’t have “beliefs” that are distinct from its corporate users’. if it did it the corporation wouldn’t keep using it.
