It's wild that we've reached a point where the President openly admits to firing people for political reasons, and his OMB director tweets about it like it's a victory. This is page one of the authoritarian playbook, happening in plain sight.

Out another week.

Happy Caturday from Ollie!

Congrats Seattle! #mlb

Screenshot from Farm Bureau article on farm bankruptcies. It shows farm bankruptcies climbing steadily 2014-2020, falling by half in 2021, & continuing to fall through 2023.

Farm bankruptcies are back in the news, so it's time to pull this chart out again.

Hey look they kept rising during Trump's first term. Then they went way down under Biden.

Now they're up again? So weird. Thanks Farm Bureau for the graphic

Can someone please overlay this with how they voted in the presidential election? I’d love a reap what you sew graph (pun intended)

👏

Lovely clap back. Trump probably doesn’t even know who Alfred Nobel was.

Another child died in my community yesterday, hit by a bus. Until our leaders put people before cars, this trend - far worse than gun deaths and violent crime - will continue.

@audacityofdespair.bsky.social continuing to show us the way.

Why would they give the peace prize to a man invading and declaring war on his own cities?

Thankful that I live inside the beltway.

Love to see this. There is so much attention and resources being paid (pun intended) to STEM. It’s nice to see a little bit of balance. Well done Ireland!

This was so great - I love the fact that you’re into Djrum!

U.S. billionaires reached a record breaking $7.6 trillion in wealth as of September 2025, an increase of $4.7 trillion in the less than eight years, per MorePerfectUnion.

Should rename it Center for Disease Circulation

Graphic that shows Republicans absent when needing to vote on the Epstein files or prevent a shutdown, but celebrating when cutting taxes for billionaires.

Hmmm... weird.

👏

One of the biggest issues to confront humanity will be identifying AI generated work. The fact that government hasn’t at a minimum demanded that anything published acknowledge the use of AI is dangerous.

Great W. Costly penalties helped, but the guys got extra yards on O and started making tackles in the 2nd quarter. Having McLaurin and Cosmi back will be huge. I hope to see more of our young LB core.

It’d be great to see an economic impact study, not just on the DC area but the U.S. on the ripple effect of shutdown impacts.

Lock him up

One of the most anachronistic zoning codes is parking requirements for commercial properties. Stop making places cater to vehicles. If people want to, fine but don’t make them. #urbansky

File under not good

"Right now, about 90% of enemy manpower losses are caused by drones, the rest - artillery, tanks, infantry. That’s why drones are needed more than anything else. And we don’t have enough UAVs.”

The value will be less than $1

Making my way through Oldenburg’s Great Good Place. Concluding the section on American Taverns he describes his fantasy, which is Bump ‘n Grind 2.0, a Tavern with morning Coffee to boot - noting not in his life time. I’m so happy that it will happen. This is for you Ray!#urbansky
