For the watch fans on team #Quartz this #MinCup: Did you know there's a calibration contest?
Katie Mack@astrokatie.com · 12h agoI went to Geneva a few weeks ago and spoke on a panel about the nature of time for a Geneva Watch Days event. While I was there, on a lark, I entered a competition to most precisely calibrate a Swiss watch. And today I found out that I won! 😃 www.instagram.com/reel/Dd6hUTB...

Gendered violence is a systemic cultural and societal problem. And when one of these cases boils to the top, you can see that in how many survivors come forward to explain how similar their experiences are, in ways both big and small.

As data breaches go, this is pretty sizable, significant, and also bafflingly bad in terms of time it took to discover and that the stolen data was unencrypted. News of this breach comes weeks after a huge theft of FBI agents' personal data. Bypass for ad-blockers: web.archive.org/web/20260930...

This story is a holy rolling ball of sexist white nationalist WTF. Not only is Rep. McIver eight months pregnant, running for reelection, and fighting bogus charges that could put her in prison for 17 years, but she also gets zero maternity leave because the House doesn't grant maternity leave.
U.S. Rep. LaMonica McIver is eight months pregnant and facing 17 years in jail | Jenice Armstrong
McIver’s inner strength is next level. She is running for reelection while fighting efforts by the Trump administration to jail her. Plus, she’s repping her constituents and caring for her family.

Eric Schmitt just invented the Gotchme Question
someone is very annoyed that her dinner will not be served until dinnertime
One, this hilariously outs who all got the talking points in advance and how blatantly they parrot those. Two, Schmitt really thought today he'd launch himself to the VP nomination and with that a decent shot at the presidency down the line. Instead this is the only thing he'll be remembered for.
Jim Lokay@jimlokay.com · 2d agoIf you want to really know how the outrage machine gets fired up: 1. Schmitt plans to drop “bombshell” on Smith 2. Someone plants story that Schmitt is a Vance VP contender to run same day 3. Right-wing Twittersphere gets talking points 4. Schmitt steps in it 5. Scheduled tweets go out anyway

Jack Smith: "Our investigation developed proof beyond a reasonable doubt that President Trump engaged in serious crimes against our nation ... rather than accept his defeat in the 2020 election, he engaged in a criminal scheme to overturn the results and prevent the lawful transfer of power"
Folks will tell you to have some self respect then call you a ‘grievance collector’ when you take note of the many ways you are constantly being degraded & insulted every day.
If you’d asked me to parody how silly and broken legal journalism is, I genuinely don’t think I could have come up with “so the best-known ‘nonpartisan’ Supreme Court outlet is now run by an ex-Trump DOJ flack who had her longtime personal friend Brett Kavanaugh officiate her wedding”

Rahm Emanuel covered up the murder of a young, Black man, Laquan MacDonald, by the Chicago Police. He belongs in prison
Jake Grumbach@jakemgrumbach.bsky.social · 3d agoWhenever you see a pollster or consultant give a take like this, it’s always worth following the money. In this case, Emanuel has paid Anzalone’s firm nearly $300k (maybe more but that’s what I found so far). A consultant class is devouring the Dem Party www.elections.il.gov/CampaignDisc...

seeing a lot of discussion about this and like: the reason the poster did a screenshot with no link is that if you actually search for the article you'd learn that this bill 1) has nothing to do with Zohran Mamdani 2) was introduced in committee back in May and didn't go anywhere
