Study abroad in Kerala like I did, and you will know these things

Xavi my guy!! 🇳🇱

The White House’s insistence on using Sabrina Carpenter’s work and image to promote their crimes against humanity is also them appealing to their base, which already uses technology to try and humiliate and puppeteer the likenesses of women who have autonomy, success, and visibility in public

It's hard to explain to normies how much effort Trump is putting into anti-trans policies.

This is like the 12th thing just this week. And there were 12 things the week before, and 12 things the week before that. There will be 12 things next week.

This is almost everything the government is doing.

ok what if we put a plow attachment on the front of an ebike? a… really powerful ebike i guess?

So what I’m hearing is road trip to Monterrey?

a woman in a pink shirt is standing in a hallway with her hand on her shoulder . Alt: a woman in a pink shirt is crying but somehow finding the courage to continue her tiktok dance

me, in an orange shirt: hup holland 😭😭😭😭😭

beyond upsetting that the Netherlands might be good enough to win the WC this year and it’s in my own country and there’s zero chance I’ll be able to go and also everyone should be boycotting it

I had only seen it in pics and was overwhelmed to actually experience it IRL, one of the great mid century architectural/planning achievements in my opinion (pretty sure @jmings.bsky.social agrees lol)

The Barbican Center complex in London

Yeah which one feels more welcoming to people? Hmm

They want us to be appalled, because caring about rules of war and human lives and the law all mark us out as inferior to them in their sick worldview.

didn’t doge feed all the stolen federal data to grok? (a sentence i wish i did not comprehend)

I’m pretty sure that thing is only on the menu for 19 year old college football players who need like ten thousand calories a day

you’re 1000% correct

these clowns are REALLY going to say that Texas’s map - which targeted majority minority districts - was NOT discrimination on the basis of race.

But they’ll say Louisiana’s map - drawn to comply with the Voting Rights Act and give Black voters representation- DID discriminate on the basis of race

Solar Industry Group Describes Trump’s ‘Complete Moratorium on Permitting’ A letter from the Solar Energy Industries Association asks for Congress’ help to reverse the administration’s effective permitting ban.

HUGE: In a letter to Congress, more than 140 solar companies detail how the Trump permitting freeze on renewables is worse than imagined and hitting copious projects on private lands

They’re asking Congress to intervene and say “bipartisan permitting reform” won’t help without forcing Trump’s hand

it’s insane. did any of the new Elizabeth Line stations even cost this much?

The cable, sent to all U.S. missions on December 2, orders U.S. consular officers to review resumes or LinkedIn profiles of H-1B applicants - and family members who would be traveling with them - to see if they have worked in areas that include activities such as misinformation, disinformation, content moderation, fact-checking, compliance and online safety, among others.

Holy shit.

Reuters reporting that new admin instructions on visas are if you worked at a platform in trust & safety or content moderation or on fact checking or online safety at an platform you *and your loved ones* are ineligible for H-1B visa.

This is what government censorship actually looks like: defunding entire fields, deporting researchers, and quite effectively chilling speech that helps people understand how our information systems are being exploited and calls out powerful people and platforms for their bullshit.

If I might translate this into decision science, you can’t do alternatives analysis before you have done problem formulation and objective setting

Have a referral from a Northwestern Medicine PCP? Lol doesn’t matter

Northwestern Medicine somehow manages to have an online scheduling function that doesn’t let you schedule appointments, a central scheduling line that doesn’t let you schedule appointments, and a network of individual offices that won’t take new appointments. Cool system

“Focused on city planning” is kind of an understatement

If you think mitigating climate change is going to be expensive, just wait till you hear how much "doing nothing" is going to cost:

This is next-level Baudrillard stuff

CTA bus kept driving after hitting, killing woman trying to board on South Side: witnesses A CTA bus hit and killed a woman Wednesday morning on Chicago's South Side, Chicago police said.

This is terrible. And also further shows how unsafe boarding a bus is when there’s mounds of snow. Just had to navigate piles of snow to get on a bus a few min ago. May this woman rest in peace. CTA and the city need to respond.

Trump calling Somalis "garbage" en route to a literal militarized purge of the community is a real litmus test for Democratic party politicians. Imagine being so worthless that they can't find time even to speak up about it.

Skarsgards!!!
