Appreciate this coverage but it is hard to explain to people not in the Chicago area that THESE ARE NOT PROTESTS.

This is people coming out of their homes, doing anything in their power to try to stop their neighbors from being kidnapped.

It is coming for your city next, please be prepared.

The average US taxpayer spends $36 a year on SNAP

You know what they spend on corporate subsidies? $670

Poor and disabled people who need food are not the problem

If you’re angry about “your money” feeding people but not angry it’s giving tax cuts to the wealthy?

You’re doing their dirty work.

I mentioned this stat from Alisa Wood of KKR in a talk I did a few weeks ago, but did you know: There are more private equity firms in the United States than there are McDonald's? (~19,000 vs. 14,000) In 1980, there were 24 PE firms *total* in the U.S. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Your science is sound
Your press release says “Reef recovery”
The internet hears “Crisis over”

A study shows how well-intended optimism can fuel climate misinformation.

Media Went All-In on Diversity. Now It's in Full Retreat Experts say the rollback of newsroom investment in DEI suggests they were never fully committed in the first place

I am intrigued as to what it would have looked like if media companies had, in fact, gone “all-in” on making newsrooms truly representative of contemporary audiences www.thewrap.com/nbc-news-div...

In Utah, Trump’s Vision for Homelessness Begins to Take Shape

Under Trump, the draconian future of homelessness policy is coming into focus: mass internment. Utah is building a 16-acre site to detain up to 1,300 homeless people inside locked "accountability centers." This is profoundly alarming.

Vital reporting from @ellenbarry.bsky.social and Jason DeParle:

I can't believe They Might Be Giants leaked an unreleased product I worked on

Listen gaijin to a legend
that transpired long ago
Bout some people in the 90’s
putting on a costume show

Dressed as demons, trolls and monsters
Certifiably insane
Looking for a place to a party
Someone said let’s ride a train

What you need to know, for @wttw.bsky.social:

Python was awarded a funding grant, funding grant asked Python foundation to remove all diversity and inclusion initiatives they have.

Python foundation said no and rejected the grant.

If you use Python, send a few dollars to the charity to keep it going. I’m pushing a dono on behalf of ScamGuard.

'Washington Post' editorials omit a key disclosure: Bezos' financial ties Three times in the past two weeks, editorials at the 'Washington Post' failed to disclose that they focused on matters in which owner Jeff Bezos had a material interest.

In my own Very online time, I have found that people between 5pm and 8pm Eastern time on Bluesky tend to be EXCEPTIONALLY doomy, sad, angry, spiraling, and so on.

Some have come on as they get off work, seen the news, and are now reading op-eds in real time.

Others, I suspect, may be hangry.

Re the below skeet: visit your local museum! There are all sorts of museums, probably one in your town, keeping history alive. A few years ago I stumbled into the Biddeford (Maine) Mills Museum. It’s in what used to be the mill but is now apartments and shops. Loved talking with the volunteers!

Keep this in mind the next time some pundit refers to “flyover country,” “coastal elitism,” and the conservative “heartland.”

My man, the stated policy of your administration is that Canada should become an American state, but Canadians running an accurate ad is a threat to American sovereignty?

The campaign to Save Star Trek (TOS) and get it a third season (and thus later syndication) was STARTED by a woman. Bjo Trimble would like a word. Star Trek fandom was ORIGINALLY women. They invented fanfic. They created the modern-style media con. They formed & organized the fan clubs.

Donor Who Gave $130 Million to Pay Troops Is Reclusive Heir to Mellon Fortune

Timothy Mellon of the famous Pittsburgh Mellon family is the one who provided $130 million to pay US military personnel.

His views on social safety nets are that Democrats “buy” votes by providing government funds to pay for food for infants.

A pumpkin patch. In the distance, a faint image of a blue ghost surrounded by a halo of carving knives. The text reads: you're carving. The knife ghost waits. Because you're using a knife. Instead of a pumpkin carving kit. Always use a pumpkin carving kit, never a knife.

Weekday work activities limited to an approved list, but weekend activities I can share vintage knife ghost. DON'T STAB YOURSELF WITH A KNIFE USE A PUMPKIN CARVING KIT AMERICA.
