David Ho@davidho.bsky.social · 8h agoThe Trump regime admitted in court filings that the cancellation of clean energy grants for Hawaiʻi was because the state voted for Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential election, rather than the previously stated reasons of advancing energy needs or economic viability.

I’m one of those people who also believe that most things — with a number of Significant Exceptions we all know — have gotten a lot better in the last three decades. Here’s another one: TV. Even mid TV shows today have the visual/production/performance quality of Major Motion Pictures in the 80s.

Daaaamn. “AI is the asbestos we're shovelling into the walls of our technological society. Our descendants will spend generations digging it out again, and the longer the bubble goes on without popping, the longer it will take to repair the damage." www.thenerve.news/p/cory-docto...

I saw a bald eagle 🦅 soaring today. I was assured they'd be gone by now because of DDT. Wisely crafted, vigorously enforced government regulation can be great.
Constantine@ajaxsinger.bsky.social · yesterdayFood, man. Food is so much better than it was in 1986. All of it. Poor-people food, restaurant food, fresh food, frozen food. Food is just a hell of a lot better.
i don't like to police genre, but it's not dark academia unless somebody gets squished in one of these bad boys
Stop calling me an amateur. I've been doing this for decades. I'm incompetent.
Look how cool! A person I'm acquainted with on Instagram does photography with antique equipment and he did a portrait of his cat using a camera made in 1926. www.instagram.com/glass_negati...

How long before we start using the concept of ‘artisanal writing’? (Previously known as ‘writing’ before AI.)
I mean yeah, it’s the corruption. But it’s also that he impulsively spends billions and makes policy the way most rich dudes buy luxury sports cars. He heard about it on the golf course and now he has to have it. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/01/c...
Trump’s Fixation on Arctic Ships Led to Billions in No-Bid Contracts
The president decided to buy 11 polar icebreakers after a game of golf with Finland’s president. Experts say it’s far from clear the United States needs so many.

Seth Cotlar@sethcotlar.bsky.social · 2d agoIn a college sociology class in the late 1980s I was assigned a Marxist analysis of education that argued that the US education system is designed primarily to produce efficient workers for the labor market. And now Trump’s Department of Education is just tweeting it out.
