legalizing gambling was the single biggest social disaster of the last decade, and that's a high bar to clear.

I'm one who enjoys Americana decoration more than the regular person but this is fascist iconography dressed up in red, white, and blue.

Concrete formworkers? Scaffold riggers? Line Cooks? Public Sanitation workers? Movers? Grounds and maintenance workers? Same deal.
Anil Dash@anildash.com · 3d agoAlll of this. I started my career in construction, working office jobs alongside people who worked trades. Know how many 60-year-old guys I saw working as bricklayers? Doing demo? Zero. How many 50-year-old roofers there are? Zero. One reason unions fight for high wages is because careers are SHORT.

The basic problem in Israel & Palestine is that the Oslo Accords ended with Rabin dead at the hands of the right wing that's dominated Israeli politics since. We could not acknowledge this shift without reengineering our entire regional policy, so we didn't.

El Nino winters are pretty reliably warm and wet for all of Southeast. It's the strongest signal in Alaska. I would say the safest bet is more more rain and less snow than typical. ☔
5) there is a more logical explanation: lots of cheaper ACA plans have very high deductible and copays, so that you’d still avoid getting health care unless or until your seriously needed it. People choose these plans either because they think they’re healthy and won’t need it, or can’t afford it.
Now and forever, never forget: Alaska Senator Dan Sullivan is and has been a Trump enthusiast. Make sure everyone knows. He’s all for DOGE, MAGA, Hegseth.
Asawin Suebsaeng@swin24.bsky.social · 2w agoTrump has been privately complaining lately that Republicans, among other things, aren’t featuring him and his awesome term 2 accomplishments in enough 2026 ads (lol) Then SUDDENLY, his taxpayer funded “LOVE ME” tv ad campaign got launched by the U.S. govt
The national media is not the “human-resources department” for Democratic staffers who “seem to believe that their role is to serve as a kind of moral check on their boss,” @jonathanbchait.bsky.social argues:

A New York Times report on Representative Mary Peltola’s management is revealing—about her younger employees’ self-regard.

No network should broadcast a single Trump or Vance event, speech or press conference live until his ban targeting specific media companies for their coverage is lifted. At some point you have to stop limiting your response to lawsuits and go on offense to defend the First Amend.

The Questionable Authority@questauthority.bsky.social · 3w agoOK. I mentioned this before, won't belabor it, but this paragraph is art. I would wager a not-inconsiderable sum that Herodotus, Pliny the Elder, Augustine, and Lon Chaney have never been cited in a single paragraph before. (And hopefully never will again.)
Wenn jemand so exzellent wie Melanie Amann Sahra und Tino gegenübertritt, dann dröhnt auf einmal das Schweigen. Stark auch, wie sie deren Wähler*innen ernst nimmt, sie mit ihrer Entscheidung konfrontiert und "den anderen" mitteilt, dass sie daher keine >Hoffnung< hat, sondern auf Engagement setzt.
Man sollte es handhaben wie es andere Länder tun. Keine Berichterstattung über gesichert rechtsextreme Parteien. Keine Talkshows mit ihren Gesichtern. Keine Zeitungsartikel oder irgendwelche Live-Auftritte. Einfach mal machen.
A particularly infuriating aspect of this A.I. bullshit is that nobody seems to remember that we all got along just fine without it for centuries. How are we all suddenly incapable of reading and understanding written words? Of creating art? Of telling stories? It’s madness.
A lot of Alaskans will be filling up their heating oil tank before the midterms. They can blame their bill on Dan Sullivan, Nick Begich and Trump. #akleg

METR@metr.org · last mo.METR and Redwood Research investigated agent behavior in the Hugging Face incident.

The most telling part of this, to me, isn't that she built a bot-mom to engage with her son. It's that she wants her son to have a bot-mom just like her. It's an extreme version of the kind of only-I-know-best-for-my-kid entitlement that undermines support for public goods like public childcare.

Lara Korte, who was just fired from Stars & Stripes, has been covering the relocation of personnel from Bahrain for months and did a great piece today on 1,300 Navy family members displaced from Bahrain who are stuck in limbo given the damage to the Bahrain base. www.stripes.com/branches/nav...
Navy families evacuated from Bahrain face ‘uncharted territory’ amid bureaucratic confusion
The evacuation has left families in limbo and forced military officials to improvise solutions for support programs.

Chase Madar@madar.bsky.social · 2mo agoRemarkable how little political noise it's made here in the US that a major American naval base in Bahrain was basically destroyed, and that this was kept quiet for five months www.nytimes.com/2026/08/14/u...
