the president refusing to defend a state against the nation he started a war with is, like, kind of the biggest thing, you know? kinda sails right past "impeachable" and into darker territory.

This is a crisis of federalism. Tim Walz is asserting as fact that Iran attacked water infrastructure in Minnesota and several other states. And Trump is saying it's Minnesota's own fault they were attacked as part of a war he started.

As a matter of fact, one of my very favorite things about the lovely @pzlr.org is that he does not fund hate.

Etrigan (unrelated)@etrigan.bsky.social · 6d ago

Raddle is an occasionally infuriating word puzzle that does not fund hate.

In geopolitical terms, pretty much "everybody" is "okay" with this. All of space is recognized as international territory and there are no consequences for this kind of behavior. The framing of the article, which calls the impact a "reshaping of the lunar environment" is similarly neutral.

SpaceX is littering on the moon and everyone's just like 'okay'??

FWIW, Meta was fully aware of how these glasses would primarily be used. The glasses were designed to erase consent, and that is why they exist. Anything that they do that suggests they want to ameliorate this use is an attempt to win the PR battle and manipulate public opinion.

Meta is vowing to crack down on creeps misusing its Ray Ban smart glasses. Whether it will be enough to regain trust remains to be seen.

A bit of wisdom I’ve learned as an archivist: Everything is always falling apart. You can’t ever stop it because that’s what matter does. Your job is to slow the process down as much as you can. It’s true with documents, books, and art. And with life too- falling apart is what we do.

I feel like people are not familiar with the office worker drawings in Zuboff’s IN THE AGE OF THE SMART MACHINE, showing what their jobs were like before and after computerization.

Oh my goodness I love this

Pastor Martin Sedra fumes that "America has created this gay version of Jesus Christ": "Jesus was not effeminate. Jesus was a bold lion. I always tell people Jesus was not a soft guy. He had six packs. He was the most ripped guy you'll ever meet."

Broke My Butt 🛹 But when I bounced my head off the pavement I had a helmet on 👍 And my daughter did awesome on her board. Also wiped out, but after calming down got back out there. Great day

My oldest kiddo wants to learn to skateboard, so I'm gonna go on that journey with her. Stoked to get my board today and even happier to have @mxmorgan.com's incredible art between the trucks.

everybody who looked the other way on dealbreaker after dealbreaker because they were so stoked on their great white populist hope deserves the humiliation she’s going to be forced to bear instead. yall made her into a sin eater because you wanted a slur-saying left so badly

I’m just so tired of the suffering of women and POC being handwaved away bc it might be fodder for a shitty man’s personal growth. Seeing ppl heap praise on him all this time must have been excruciating for the ppl he’s hurt

Ok but can your bicycle friend group do this?

For real though, this story would've been much different if I wasn't wearing glasses at the time. Always empty your pockets before climbing.

This is my anger at every writer and actor who picketed against AI in their industries who now shills for AI in advertising. Where is their fear, anger, and righteous indignation for the artists, educators, designers, etc that those selling these products hope to displace?

Alexandra Gallant-Lee@alexandragallant.com · last mo.

Utterly disappointing to see a scientist complaining about having to deal with AI slop in their own field last week and then just happily posting AI slop this week because it's some "funny picture" that was generated.

Yo, let's just watch some Kasso instead

This really reminded me of my father. Not sure exactly how he would have felt about the greater context, but in general, in life, I think this sentiment would resonate with him

So you know how you can’t see images right now, but when the images have alt text you still know what they were supposed to be? That’s why alt text is important. Accessibility benefits everyone!

YESSSSSS Been called a FREAK for this, but I've been jamming on cold brew & lemonade for a decade. The really yummy, high flying, citrusy notes I love in my coffee come from compounds that are only expressed at heat, so cold brew invariably tastes "dead" to me A little lemonade enlivens the brew

ceej@ceej.online · last mo.

It's once again time for me to extol the virtues of the "Laura Palmer," a refreshing blend of lemonade and cold brew coffee. In all my travels I have yet to find a better beverage for a hot summer morning. It's also the best method I have personally found for accidentally consuming 400mg of caffeine

This is very “when the worst person you know makes a good point” — I think that FIFA is a morally bankrupt organization and the demand for public transit to World Cup matches is entirely self-serving, but it is pretty cool to see car-centric US cities get to look around and try out new approaches.

My piece for @dezeen.com: FIFA’s mandate that World Cup host cities provide game-day public transit is a unique opportunity for American cities. It’s a chance to experiment and to learn from other places addressing the same challenges at the same time. www.dezeen.com/2026/06/30/w...

"The World Cup is a unique opportunity for different transit approaches"

The World Cup has highlighted the strengths and weaknesses of public transportation in North America, providing cities with the opportunity to test and implement novel approaches.

this is why abolitionists were so religious. you want to believe in a righteous and vengeful god when people are behaving like this.
