First restaurants to offer clean air (and monitor displays so no one has to guess) will get all the ppl who've had to stay away for years. I just don't get why they aren't all rushing to win! 🤷 (I miss fancy, tasty food! 😿)

BROKERING THE DEAL is when my brain melted, if you want to know.

Absolutely awful result in the "antifa terrorism" trial against the Prairieland noise demonstrators. Innocent people convicted under conspiracy statutes because they had zines at home, or wore black, or were in a Signal chat — even those who did not actually participate in the demonstration.

I learned long ago that time spent customizing my device any more than abs necessary was the surest way to get it broken or stolen. If I DID set a non-default ringtone, though, I always thought I'd like The Girl From Ipanema. Nice enough but not something I'm too loathe to interrupt. 😹

For at least 10 years journos have been working so hard to dissemble and obfuscate under the Honorable Notions of What Journalism Is and now even the people whose water they’ve been carrying are like wtf I’m trying to be racist

Midterm Seat Loss Calculator Predict how many House seats the president's party will lose based on approval ratings.

hey quick question — does it feel to you like the mainstream political press covers trump and the republicans as if they were on course to get wiped out in the midterms? because they're currently on course to get wiped out in the midterms.

Don't know what to do about the fact that the entire political establishment seems completely uncommitted to government services.

Never send a White Zinfandel to do a Cabernet’s job.

This is so sweet! Alt text would be great for sharing more widely (I don't know enough about comics to give it the right tone).

Pretty sure I could shift a large cat the size of a small cat. If I had tuna on me.

Let there be as much outrage from politicians in Washington when kids go hungry as there is when I break bread with New Yorkers.

Canada must call for an immediate ceasefire as the US and Israel continue their illegal and reckless war. 

We should be demanding justice for violations of international law and war crimes, not tap-dancing around whether or not we support this disastrous Trump-led military adventure.

A Beautiful Day for a Neighbor: Tom Noonan (1951-2026) A personal tribute to a great actor, a great friend, and a gentle giant of a man.

"I looked up, and up, and up, and up, until I saw Tom Noonan's face, looking down at me with a curious expression. 'What did you say your name was?' he asked." A remembrance of my friend Tom, lost too soon. www.rogerebert.com/mzs/a-beauti...

Horrific. Georgia police charged a woman with murder after she allegedly used misoprostol. Hospital may have reported her.

@pregnancyjust.bsky.social calls it “an unprecedented murder charge for an alleged abortion, even though no law in the state of Georgia permits such a charge." bit.ly/46W2Ezb

Base and flyer!

On the bright side AI will soon take your job as well as your water and energy and computer chips and intellectual property

@sirrosen.bsky.social ’s talk is PACKED. The developers love Pacific Drive!!!

Hmm, I thinking this must be a diff James O'Brien bc the British radio host seems lovely. 🤷😹

This is crucially important point.

1) "No quarter" is indeed specifically war-crime term

2) Under Geneva Conventions, after sinking an enemy ship, the attackers must "take all positive measures" to find and rescue any survivors. Text in next post

No evidence US sub did so after attack, AFAIK

I'm in downtown Toronto. Snow. Can't see more than a short block away. Kinda enjoying it bc we're not far from heat waves now. 😹

This is a very good set btw, I use it for basically everything now

Wow. A near-miss that could have resulted in a "high-fatality" crash on a train carrying 120 passengers. The train travelling 80+km/h faster than it should.

Grateful to the person who leaked it. May a whistleblower & good journalism result in changes.

really useful read in the context of conversations we’re having (about Valve’s math, about what being indie looks like, etc)

It has arrived!

I love this world. Just beautiful

Thanks @ianmcque.bsky.social !

Watching a British WWII detective series and this old poster showed up in the background. A good one
