I just looked up where I used to live in Virginia. There weren't any playgrounds in walking distance. The city evidently just put in a big modern park but the vast majority of people would have to drive there.

I genuinely wonder if people living in sprawl (especially in red states) actually have public playgrounds though - not ones you can walk to.

There does seem to be much more public infrastructure up here and more time and opportunity to use it.

But yeah lots of places in the US also have parks with playgrounds. I suspect a lot of overbuilt sprawl in the US doesn't, or doesn't have ones you can get to without driving.

I was watching an analysis the other day where someone pointed out that Iran could effectively destroy several of the US's most valuable client states in the region by going after their water supply.

And up until this point they hadn't.

Let's see if that changes.

But also... this is literally just Canada.

This is the park two blocks from my house.

You don't get here by privatizing everything and throwing out all the immigrants.

You get here with health care and paid parental leave and strong investment in public works.

Also it took me like 20 seconds to post that reply, so yeah, shit's fucked.

Shit's just been variously busted for the past few weeks. Just random stuff stops working.

The far-right dudes can host as many round tables on college sports and NIL as they want.🤷🏿‍♂️

This is your periodic reminder that I was part of the group that got the NIL laws passed. No one in the government was going to protect Black athletes or women athletes, so we helped ourselves.

Lily has made an amazing video about how the NYT’s slide to the right is primarily a worker’s rights issue, it’s brilliantly researched - check it out!

Not for nothin', but I think people vastly underestimate how much coloring your grey hair does for older women.

I just started coloring again and I feel and look, like, ten years younger.

When he moves, he shall have our support from the North, if he desires it.

This is both art and good journalism; give it a watch.

Would be nice if they had private accounts, huh

We’re obviously going to see the same unhinged racist bullshit come out of a different person but at least one of them is having a bad day.

I think you implied it actually.

(also yeah that alt text fucks)

I actually cried when I saw this.

It's so nice to be here, and the people here are wonderful.

But more than that, they are - for the most part - wonderful to each other.

Building a new Flash I don't know where to start with this but yeah I'm making flash if flash was built in 2026. I'm making it compatible with Linux,Mac, and PC. If you'd like to support this project I've started a patreo...

Spread the word, an ACTUAL replacement for Flash is on the horizon! Go support this project NOW!!!!!!!!

It's like they're playing 1D chess - with a hammer.

Maybe it goes sideways in later seasons but honestly it's good TV, especially for its time

You guys it's the FUTURE you don't wanna be left five days behind in your timelines oh shit oh fuck fuck fuck

I have read this book. I do not recommend it.

Bored of the Rings (1969)

My wife is watching Scrubs for the first time with me; it was an incredibly formative piece of media for me at the time and honestly still holds up today.

It was very much ahead of its time.

Every time bsky starts doing psychic damage I just mute more words.

Pretty soon it'll just be videos of cats and art of girls kissing, and I'm okay with that.

oh no

Me: *looks at timeline*

Me: *adds "Anthropic" and "Claude" to my sanity filters*

Yeahr it's a wicked big mistake
