They repeatedly position women like Sophie Cunningham and Caitlin Clark as damsels in need of saving because they don’t consider women’s sports an actual competition but a showcase more akin to a best baby pageant.

Reacting to a foul on Caitlin Clark, Newsmax hosts suggests that the police may need to be called on WNBA players: “If the league won't do anything, I think the cops have to show up and start making arrests”

"Adan" sent this from Wapato WA where he's thinning grapevines at a non-union farm. "I earn WA minimum wage. The air quality is terrible now. But we still have to work. The rancher did not provide me with a mask. My phones' weather app says the AQI is unhealthy at 182." #WeFeedYou

Vineyard under a smokey sky with a cell phone display of an air quality alert for Wapato WA with an unhealthy air quality index of 182.

Bluesky is a "liberal bubble" because fascist chuds can't get traction without algorithmic assistance and because people here trained themselves to block "debate me" trybois the instant they roll up

Bluesky's new CEO Toni Schneider on the platform's reputation for being a liberal bubble: "Yes, we definitely want that to change. It is already changing. It certainly wasn’t designed to attract one specific group of people."

I worked for New York’s largest medical center at the start of the pandemic. There were morgue trucks on the streets. They set up emergency medical tents in Central Park. Healthcare worker colleagues died. It is horrific that RFK Jr is on national TV lying that ICUs were empty.

Worth remembering that Talarico raised so much money he just gave some away to other Texas candidates and Mamdani raised so much money during the primary that he told people to donate to Adrienne Adams. People aren't giving up on Ds. They just don't like the DNC. The DNC should think about that!

can my comparative politics folks come up with any other example of the opposition party being $2m in debt when the incumbent government is ~20 points underwater on approval?

Native American remains were outside the scope of my article, so I turned my information over to the NYT. So. If you're thinking you want to contribute to making museums better places, remember that you can do so from your couch. Follow a hunch down a rabbit hole and see what you discover.

This report was a huge team effort and one of the best things I've ever written. It's cathartic to have it out there. Big props to my co-author John Walsh. Huge thanks to WOLA's comms team—just look at the well-crafted PDF version. Thanks to management for greenlighting a full 360º analysis.

an unhoused man was recently arrested for "felony camping" & it's telling imo that, once he was released from custody, he went right back to the park where he sleeps turns out when you put a homeless person in jail, they're *still homeless* when they leave jail! ballsandstrikes.org/law-politics...

Unhoused People Are Paying the Price For the Supreme Court’s Cruelty

The Grants Pass decision allowed more cities and states to impose criminal penalties for the offense of being poor in public.

Recorded music is cheaper and stronger than it's ever been, and it's far more likely to kill you. The government’s advice hasn’t changed much since Nancy Reagan, but music has. Now, scientists are writing their own rules and we have a guide here.

"know before you mix" infographic showing common interactions between instruments. People mix music. A new wave of organizations like Palestrina Nova advocate harm reduction over abstinence-only messaging, arguing that clear information saves more lives than pretending common instrument combinations never happen. PN's adapted interaction chart, below, is one example of that approach.
