I've visited totalitarian states, and their forces take pride in themselves and their uniforms. Even Hugo Boss proudly dressed the Nazis.

These T4ump chumps are a testament to the Enshittification of America. A pure waste of tax dollars.

The end points of the range of the continuously variable gearing are supposedly adjustable; and looking at the cable clamping points by the rear hub gives some insight on current setting.

Andy Cuomo is an incredible baboon.

Words matter.
A lot.
Especially right now.
Because they can mask threats right in front of our faces.

"Maximalist" sounds normal. Part of a normal spectrum.

We are off the spectrum.

The formerly indicted mayor running his renegade re-election campaign out of what might as well be a condemned building is a striking metaphor for the Adams era.

Great reporting, @katiehonan.bsky.social!

White House has no plan to mandate IVF care, despite campaign pledge President Donald Trump has said he wants a “baby boom,” but critics say his administration has yet to make significant family policy changes — and that Medicaid cuts will hurt.
