I don't think most Americans realize how hard tariffs are about to hit them. The combination of 1) escalating tariffs, 2) companies slowly passing the cost to consumers, and 3) the repeal of the de minimis exemption in the Big Beautiful Bill, a lot stuff will be more expensive in 2027.

Zohran Mamdani is calling for city-owned grocery stores. NYC already has them. The idea has broad support from progressives, while some critics warn against β€œradical socialism.” But New York already has city-owned grocery stores.

This is bizarre framing since Essex Street Market is not a city run or city owned grocery store. It’s a bunch of private vendors operating on city controlled property gothamist.com/news/zohran-...

A sterling example of how "it's complicated," about basic issues of justice that are not in fact complicated at all, keeps enabling worsening fascism.

So... what's Paramount's plan for when Trump gets mad at 60 Minutes next weekend and files another ridiculous lawsuit? Fork over another $16 million? More? Or is there some double super-secret annex in the settlement where he pinky promises not to do that?

Dallas postal worker collapses, dies while on the job A Dallas letter carrier collapsed and died while on the job over the weekend. The tragedy has many local postal workers remembering the 2023 heat-related death of Eugene Gates.

Workers across the country are dying horribly from heat stroke as #OSHA continues hearing over issuing a strong heat standard

These deaths could have been prevented with a strong OSHA heat standard. Will the Trump administration continue to let workers die?

Enigmatic lizards somehow survived near Chicxulub asteroid impact The night lizards may have been the only terrestrial vertebrates that survived in the region of the asteroid impact 66 million years ago, which led to the extinction of non-avian dinosaurs

A small, secretive group of lizards that still exist today may have been the only terrestrial vertebrates that survived in the vicinity of the Chicxulub asteroid collision that led to the extinction of the non-avian dinosaurs.

I have a lot of concerns about AI, but millions of people seem to be using ChatGPT without spiralling into madness over the span of a couple months, which kinda makes this seem like a PEBKAC situation.

The Growing Threat of Homegrown Religious Extremism The alleged Minnesota assassin was known as a β€˜deeply religious’ Christian man. That should be an alarm bell for all of us.

"In these situations, one expects to hear that the shooter was in the midst of a psychotic episode." Instead, he was a seemingly functional, deeply religious family man. That is terrifying. ICYMI @monacharen.bsky.social on religious extremism: www.thebulwark.com/p/the-growin...
