Ok, but the eastern span of the Bay Bridge that’s used as the photo for this article, doesn’t have anything to do with this concept. It has the same number of lanes as the original eastern span that was built in the 1930s. Despite that, it’s the 2nd most heavily-trafficked bridge in the country.

I don’t have a lawn, or an irrigation system. But I have been thinking about getting something automated, because I have potted plants on the back patio that get all wilted if I don’t water them for a couple of days. I don’t want them to die when I go traveling.

It's not just a shortage. They're completely sold-out through at least 2030. Aside from that, their prices have doubled in the last 2 years.

Billionaire angel investor quits Salesforce board over Benioff’s National Guard idea The Silicon Valley venture capitalist bashed CEO Marc Benioff’s political right turn in a passionate message shared with The Standard.

It’s certainly racking up the accomplishments

is it not weird that every day there’s a new video of anonymous masked men having the time of their lives beating/shooting/disappearing people and the dem response from the top down is “republicans want to double your health insurance premiums”

Only the weakest men are afraid of flags. Pettiest, cancel mob on the planet. www.msnbc.com/msnbc/news/k...

Remember: If we allow ourselves to fall into fatalism, or wallow in disappointment, or become resigned to what is rather than what should be, we will lose the long game.

The greatest enemy of positive social change is cynicism about what can be changed.

Trump—And Mayor Eric Adams—Want NYC To Institute A Trans Student Bathroom Ban “The mayor has no authority to ban trans students from using bathrooms that match their gender identity.”

1. The Trump admin has demanded New York City to ban trans kids from bathrooms.

Mayor Adams has come out in support of Trump's proposal.

NY Law protects trans youth, and Adams has no power to implement it.

Meanwhile, Mamdani has slammed Adam's comments.

That’s not how percentages work. Opening 114.60 and closing at 106.58 would be down 7%. You’re talking about a drop of less than 1%

Page 1: Flyer from The Heritage Foundation Oversight Project titled “Transgender Ideology-Inspired Violent Extremism (TIVE): Background and FAQs on Need for an FBI Domestic Terrorism Designation.” The page defines “Transgender Ideology” and “TIVE,” outlining beliefs allegedly associated with them. It claims such ideology justifies violence against opponents or frames opposition as violence. The text references the alleged assassination of Charlie Kirk, urging the FBI to classify TIVE as domestic terrorism.

Page 2: Continuation of flyer with a section titled “Recent Instances of TIVE-Motivated Acts of Domestic Terrorism.” Lists multiple violent events from 2018 to 2025, attributing them to transgender ideology. Includes mugshots of two alleged attackers. Followed by a “Frequently Asked Questions and Key Terms” section, addressing whether transgender people are terrorists, comparing TIVE with “Nihilistic Violent Extremism,” and discussing FBI designations.

Page 3: Flyer continues with questions about Antifa and FBI terrorism classifications. States that Antifa and TIVE are separate categories. Lists ways the FBI classifies domestic terrorism and identifies typical characteristics of “TIVEs,” such as targeting Christians, mental illness, and online radicalization. Includes images: a “Trans Antifa” logo, a pink-blue-white-striped slogan image reading “Protect Their Right to Exist,” a photo of Audrey Hale with a firearm, and a close-up of a magazine with the words “Where is your God?”

Page 4: Section titled “Terminology Used by TIVE.” Defines terms including cisgender, deadnaming, Gillick competence, misgendering, “Right to Exist,” “Trans genocide,” and a phrase “You either have a live boy or dead girl, you choose.” Each is presented as terminology used in or associated with TIVE. Page layout is text-heavy, no additional graphics.

Heritage Foundation has released an absolutely insane policy proposal to label all trans people as domestic terrorists. It uses completely made up instances of terrorism and made up statistics but facts don't matter to them.

They want us all eradicated.

SFO Terminal 3 had rubber moving walkways that looked just like that one. They were originally installed in the 1970s, and made some news last year when they were removed for a remodel. Everybody loved walking on them, but apparently they were a huge maintenance headache

Behold: the cantab on a can of Tab

The second screenshot is titled "The Shifting Language of Racial Constructs" and explains that using the wrong terminology risks being called racist. It lists: Latinx BIPOC Allyship Intersectionality Minoritized communities The text below says Democrats may be losing support among non-White voters by overusing such terms, urging reflection and listening instead of relying on “sociology buzzwords.”

Alt text: Two screenshots of text discussing language around gender, orientation, and race. The first screenshot is titled "Gender/Orientation Correctness" and says these terms imply that traditional gender views are outdated. It lists: Birthing person/inseminated person Pregnant people Chest feeding Cisgender Deadnaming Heteronormative Patriarchy LGBTQIA+ It concludes with a note that standing up to MAGA’s attacks on gay and transgender people requires empathy and coalition-building, not shaming potential allies.

The craven reactionary centrists at Third Way are advising Democrats not to use the term LGBTQ, BIPOC, allyship, or intersectionality. They're erasing the entire language used to describe minority communities.

Thank goodness California banned pretextual stops

Looking at the proposed updates to the CA maps, if those pass, I think it would be looking at CA-34 (DTLA, bordering on East LA), and maybe CA-8 because ~1/4 of the district by population is Richmond, which currently has a DSA mayor, and previously had a Green mayor

That’s still polynomial growth, not exponential. Though there’s another complicating factor, which is that engines and motors have specific RPMs where they achieve peak efficiency.

The Passionate, Progressive Politics of Julia Child The public Julia Child—Julia Child the culinary titan—looms so large that she often eclipses the person who existed outside the kitchen. A new collection of interviews captures another side of her.

Julia Child, who was born on this day, in 1912, was known as a titan of the culinary arts. But she was also highly politically engaged, speaking openly about her support for Planned Parenthood and her disgust with the Republican Party.

It seems like p=mv comes into effect here - the car would also have twice as much momentum, so there should be some cancellation and probably just a linear increase in drag, not exponential

I went to college in the suburbs of St. Louis, and I had a classmate who told me that she was afraid to even drive through the city proper, because she thought she would get shot while driving. Nothing I said could shake that fear. There are more people like her than you’d easily believe

So many people talking about lawn order

Too much uncertainty in CA with impending redistricting. Nothing in OR that I’d go after. But look at WA-3. It contains a lot of lower-income suburbs of Portland. The current rep is the co-chair of the Blue Dog caucus

It’s probably best to focus on districts that either have high rates of unaffordability, or that are overall lower-income. I’d also probably try to steer clear of seats with well-known, entrenched members. When Jackie Fielder tried to run against Nancy Pelosi, it didn’t work out for several reasons

LinkedIn Joins Meta and YouTube in Abandoning Policies Designed to Counter Anti-Trans Hate | TechPolicy.Press GLAAD Social Media Safety Program's Jenni Olson says it is deeply concerning to see LinkedIn remove a policy protecting transgender and nonbinary people.

Check out this new GLAAD explainer for @techpolicypress.bsky.social to learn more about LinkedIn’s recent removal of its policy protecting transgender and nonbinary people from one of the most prevalent and extreme types of online anti-trans hate.

It’s been a long time since I’ve been to STL, but I remember seeing the flag quite a bit in the Soulard area

The Dadaist phase

For what it’s worth, I met Gilbert Baker a couple of times, and he was extremely progressive. He was a member of the Radical Faeries. He deliberately chose not to copyright his design, and he was sensitive to intersectionality. I doubt he would’ve had any issues with the newer variants

the problem with letting democrats backslide their support of trans rights whether it be trans in sports or using bathrooms is we’ve seen “compromise” in the UK labor party. they gave into “reasonable” TERF demands and it destroyed the labor party and all rights for trans people

This would have no effect on his presidential ambitions, but it could be huge for the balance of power in the House. This will not change the number of California delegates to the DNC, nor will it change the number of votes CA has in the electoral college. CA doesn’t apportion EC votes by district

What you may be conflating here are interior decorative pieces, which were often mass-produced plaster casts. The exteriors are a totally different story
