Paris!

Bike lane!!!

She’s magnificent

‘Debate’ is another one of those very commonly used words everybody thinks they have the same definition for, and clearly, they do not.

a thing i simply cannot get over, as The Media collapses for i think the 5th time in my adult life, is what the fuck business the people who own these publications think they are in. shouldn’t the point be to just make enough money making the articles to make more articles

"The task of imams in the US is markedly different: to guide their congregants through civic life in a country whose dominant culture is secularizing, pluralistic, and systematically Islamophobic." Excellent piece by @aidaalami.bsky.social @nyrb-imprints.bsky.social www.nybooks.com/online/2025/...

Man. What do we do against this.

“The U.S. is no longer a reliable country.” Sounds about right. French economist Thomas Piketty in his column for @lemonde-en.bsky.social

Air pollution graphics for central Paris between 2007 and 2023.

Air pollution has dropped significantly in #Paris in the last 15 years as a result of a deliberate strategy. Mayor @annehidalgo.bsky.social’s leadership has traded car space for green space, safe bike space, kid space.. and traded pollution for people.

Good trade.

Easter Eggs Are So Expensive Americans Are Dyeing Potatoes

If this story didn't have today's date, I would've thought it was a Depression-era headline.

More than 150 ‘unprecedented’ climate disasters struck world in 2024, says UN Floods, heatwaves and supercharged hurricanes occurred in hottest climate human society has ever experienced

The world we've built is not adapted to the world we've created

This is fine meme, but with dog saying “So I have a book coming out”

Chuck Schumer right now:

Depressing reminder. Related: 45 million Americans are functionally illiterate and cannot read above a fifth-grade level literacyproj.org

It's worth noting that at present, 17 European countries, as well as Canada and Israel, regard Holocaust denial as a crime.

Vox published this reported essay I wrote on my first immigration visa a little over six years ago. I still meet people who refer to it and share it because there are so few resources (not written by law firms) which explain how hard the system is to navigate: www.vox.com/the-goods/20...

Saudade for America Leaving America guest essay by Alexander Hurst

I’ve been trying to capture what I feel looking back with sadness, despondency, frustration, and fury at the country I left (and which left me), and this is what came out. Thanks @lindseytramuta.bsky.social for publishing it :)

Opinion | After I Self-Deported From the U.S., My Life Improved (Gift Article) My decision to leave the U.S. seemed crazy. I believed then that America was exceptional, the only nation capable of caring for its people.

Straight out of @theonion.com. Unbelievable.

Wokeness Is Not to Blame for Trump How a misdiagnosis of the 2024 election has calcified into self-defeating conventional wisdom.

Wrote about the morally vacuous, strategically unsound (and also wrong!) anti-“woke”diagnosis everyone’s still sticking with, even in the midst of civil rights apocalypse.

Books mentioning slavery, civil rights removed from shelves at Fort Campbell schools - ClarksvilleNow.com At an elementary school at Fort Campbell, home of the 101st Airborne Division, librarians are hard at work scrubbing the shelves for books that contain references to slavery, the civil rights movement...

This is where we are now: An elementary school at Fort Campbell has removed all books from its library that so much as *allude* to slavery or the civil rights movement.

The wholesale erasure of history in real time.

Spectacular !!
