I don't know the audience to suggest this to, but this is an amazing story. Probably most liked by..Academics/ Academia/ Twain readers and appreciators- even those with a passing Twain interest/ Book collectors/ Readers/ People with heartbeats and regular respiration.

So, I really hope I get to tell this story in longer form in the near future, but it it’s burning a hole inside me. Most of it comes from an interview with Bob Hirst this weekend. Bob has been Exec Editor of the Mark Twain Project for 47 years, before which he was part of its staff for ~15. 1/16

And I’m gonna bet there’s a labor benefit, too. People work better and more safely and more efficiently when they have regular shade, too.

Crops grown underneath solar panels produce more, require less water and are more resistant to extreme weather, even during a hot, dry summer. We need agrivoltaics to be rolled out asap, for both the electricity and the better growing conditions. microgridmedia.com/solar-panels...

Trump sued Capital One to prove they closed his accounts over politics. The bank’s answer, filed Friday: it was the anti-money-laundering desk. Months of review. Three hundred accounts. He pulled that thread himself.

Create a shadow cabinet. Every time Hegseth stands at pentagon podium to announce some wild holy war action, our shadow SecDef gets up at ours to explain what we’d do differently. Same with RFK vaccine announcements or supplement things. Create a constant contrast, counter narrate the presidency.

You can't short the Balrog risk.

The cross-platform enshittification of search functionality is such an infuriating exercise of authoritarian creep. They would like to kill the inclination to find information & enforce satisfaction with be fed information.

Apparently it is an action of hate to arrest a person with a criminal warrant, and it should not happen. Fox has entered the upside down.

Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu said he still plans to attend the UN General Assembly in New York and accused the city’s mayor Zohran Mamdani of 'fomenting hate' over his pledge to enforce the ICC arrest warrant against Netanyahu for war crimes.

Okay, I'll take this at face value. It's $100 million. If you have $100 million, personally, you can do anything a human being actually needs to do, and so can your descendants out multiple generations. As long as there are people with no food, housing, and healthcare, that should be the cap.

When the community note proves that the reason the initial post made him sound like a piece of shit is because he's a bigger piece of shit than the initial post made him out to be.🤷‍♂️

@ncte.org You absolute cowards. Canceling the Orwell awards. The VERY reason they exist is to have things like this NOT happen. You are complicit and have failed at your charge.

happy peachiversary gang. shake those trees.

Hey, everyone. Head's up.

Tax the fucking rich! It's not rocket science. This is how it's done.

I could absolutely see this ticket happening in either order once the primary consolidates, both would have very good reasons to pick the other as VP Ossoff gets instant cred with the left, AOC gets a moderate-coded white guy who appeals to Black voters

Ossoff/AOC millennial thirst trap ticket is on the table, folks.

The United States is turning into a kind of reverse Omelas: everyone is miserable except for a single child, Donald Trump, who inexplicably must be kept happy.

@annieabrams.bsky.social This helped me organize my thoughts around the dangers of CLT. I have already been told that we'd likely start seeing parents pushing for CLT testing at my school. Not something they'll care about, but gonna need a lot of background awareness for the board. Thank you.

Interesting that Trump stopped making pennies just as the GOP stopped having thoughts.

Is acknowledging death a HIPAA violation? Asking for a nation.

Since yhe smoke: Just saw The Odyssey. That movie's so long.. my dog didn't recognize me. my son sailed to another country looking for news of me.

This is how to speak to every single one of those sycophants.

“Either the state owns the vast majority of the system … or somewhere in the last few decades, the state gave away an asset that Mahi Pono claims is worth hundreds of millions of dollars.” I wrote about an important battle taking place over water, or wai, in Hawaii. civilbeat.org/2026/06/publ...

Public Or Private? The Future Of East Maui's Water Is At Stake

The East Maui Water Authority says it wants to work with Mahi Pono to preserve and protect the water system as rainfall becomes less predictable. But the farm has its own plan.
