WHY aren't politicians telling this to the public? Instead they think they can "get votes" by bashing immigrants.

PS It isn't even about "immigrants" it's about race.

Good morning!

Australia has so much solar that it's offering everyone free electricity Australia's extensive solar power penetration makes so much energy that the government wants to offer free electricity at peak hours.

Australia has so much electricity from solar power that it is going to start offering free electricity to everyone for at least three hours during the day as the wholesale price of power goes negative

More amazing news!

In a historic move, New Mexico just became the first state in America to guarantee free, universal child care for all residents. 🩵

Families win, kids thrive, and the economy grows.

Now let’s get the entire U.S. to follow suit.

I saw this earlier this week but needed time to have a public conversation about it.

Goddard has always been one of my favorite NASA centers. The work they do is so cool and the folks there are incredible.

This truly gutted me. 😢

A 6ft tall person standing in front of a pickup truck, the top of his head barely reaching to the top of the hood.

Nothing to see here, literally! Just 6ft me standing, you read that right, standing upright in front of a truck.

Dems,
You don’t have to throw trans people under the bus to win elections. Voters don’t hate trans people as much as Republicans have convinced you they do. They just don’t. So stop falling for this false dichotomy of either supporting trans 🏳️‍⚧️ rights & dignity or winning elections.
You can do both.

"Centrists" need to call Mamdani a "radical leftist" so they can say Trump/Farage fascism is just the opposing side of an equally matched "both sides" conflict

But Mamdani is just a middle of the road, European social democrat

And "centrists" - ie centre-right and right - are simply pro-fascism.

Not only is Tom Hanks protecting his own health, by masking up he’s protecting everyone else on public transit.

Many people taking the subway don’t have paid time off.

They don’t have the good healthcare someone like Hanks can afford.

Masking is community care.

Mamdani gets next week’s New Yorker cover:

Billionaires spent millions trying to defeat Mamdani

They threw their support behind a man they knew was guilty of sexual assault, because predators protect their own

They lost

It won’t stop them from trying again.

No one should be allowed to buy an election & predators must be held accountable

i want to repeat this: mamdani and spanberger have run similar campaigns tailored to their respective electorates and it is maddening to watch political journalists attempt to create some broad contrast where none exist

Congratulations Virginia.

What We Lost When Condé Nast Unceremoniously Shuttered Teen Vogue This article is part of TPM Cafe, TPM’s home for opinion and news...

if you want to know what happened to Teen Vogue yesterday, my work wife @allegrak.bsky.social — who ran our politics section for 6 years until this past June — said it all in this.

can't even pull out a favorite part til I sign my separation letter lol, just read the whole thing.

Line graphs show cumulative experiences in relation to Medicaid/CHIP and uninsurance by birthday. Graph A: Medicaid/CHIP coverage trends. Graph B: Uninsurance trends. Data covers ages 1-18, showing percentages of US children.

An estimated 61% of US children have been enrolled in #Medicaid or CHIP and 42% have experienced periods of uninsurance by age 18, with insurance disruptions being more common in states with restrictive Medicaid policies.

The news about Teen Vogue is terrible, the latest in the long list of corporate-owned media layoffs, closures, and shifting tone and coverage.
There are so many great independent outlets, a list too long but this is a fantastic starter pack. PLEASE pick a few & support them if you're able.

I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day.

certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

I’m trying to be more open about the ups and downs of life lately.

So, I’m sharing a little thing a friend popped to me in the post a couple of weeks ago just in case it’s handy for you to read too.

The fascinating story behind the 2025 NYC marathon medal This year's medal for the TCS New York City marathon is ribbed to reflect the elevation map of the course.

Not fascinating, but this is cool:

"At first glance, the surface of the new medal appears to be brushed with an array of diagonal stripes. But flip it on its side, and you will notice that the stripes are ribbed, and they reflect the actual elevation of the five-borough course."

Molly Seidel — my way “I don't love the word comeback because I think it feels like you're just reverting to your old form, and I think I am a very different person than I was.…

I appreciate some of the Molly Seidel quotes in here.

“There's this idea that I have to stay relevant. And it's like, ‘babe, no, you don't—it's fine.’” www.maurten.com/magazine/mol...

NYRR Set the Pace Watch Party: Abbott Dash to the Finish 5K YouTube video by New York Road Runners

This morning’s Dash to the Finish Line 5K in NYC is going to be really good. Pro men at 8:30, pro women at 8:35. Broadcast starts now. www.youtube.com/live/ycooj3K...

Annie Rodenfels and Weini Kelati are setting the pace in the second mile of the Dash to the Finish Line 5K, but now Elle St. Pierre has covered the move. Alicia Monson surprisingly dropped off early. It's tough having a track-race-sized field in a road race.

Your worth is not tied to your health.

It’s not tied to your productivity.

Capitalism and ableism teach us that our value is tied up in how much we “produce” for others.

It’s not.

You have value just as you are. We all do.

The subway on Halloween night is one of the greatest things about NYC.

For astronomy PhD students, this is a really amazing opportunity to hone your craft at scientific writing! Can highly recommend! 🔭☄️

"This is fucking amazing"

Oh My God Check This Out.

OUR MSM NEVER show things like this!

YouTube video by PBS NewsHour Top researchers consider leaving U.S. amid funding cuts: 'The science world is ending'

A poll from the journal Nature found that 75% of researchers in the U.S. are considering leaving the country. That includes a man who’s been dubbed the "Mozart of Math." (This PBS story on the scientific brain drain is heartbreaking & ominous for medicine, imo.) www.youtube.com/watch?v=yLvO...
