Evan Sutton@evansutton.bsky.social · 8h agoI encourage all of us to have the grace and focus shown in this going up within minutes of the race being called.
Open invitation to hit me up to play Big Walk at any point. I've been waiting for this game for a while now and am excited to share it with people.
Dem AG Raul Torrez doing more for Epstein victims than any US senator voting to confirm Todd Blanche
Katie Phang@katiephang.bsky.social · 7h agoBREAKING: The New Mexico Department of Justice has sued Acting AG Todd Blanche and the DOJ, requesting the court for access to unredacted Epstein-related investigative files that the DOJ has been withholding.
[guy who votes for pedophiles for president, senator, representative, and city council, and is himself personally a wife-beating pedophile] the Democrat Party has bad values and hates Jesus
btw if you’re ticked at AIPAC for whatever reason them spending a maximum amount of money to barely lose is ideal, 10/10, just as a pure matter of don’t-know-ball and forward outcome for them as an organization. this cycle has been catastrophic for them purely in terms of inputs and outputs
i should add- breaking the collarbone of a baby who is the granddaughter of a REPUBLICAN US SENATOR is not a bridge too far for republicans. max miller is the villain in this story but bernie moreno looks like a feckless loser, allowing his party to carry on this way. what a pathetic bunch.
Organizing yet more photos of my dad for a celebration of life we’re soon hosting in Pittsburgh and struck by the immense narrative difference between old film roll or Polaroid candids and the infinite retakes we get with ultra high-def iPhones. Simply changes the nature of memory and history.
Another collision at the 4 way intersection outside our home, this time involving a moped who was smacked by a sedan turning left into oncoming traffic. Fortunately their injuries appeared to be minor, especially lucky given the conditions. Grateful for the quick response times of SFFD.
EA officially goes private tonight, meaning: - EA will no longer trade on the NASDAQ for the first time in 36 years - All stockholders of EA (including many employees) will receive $210/share - EA will take on $18 billion (!) in debt, putting it on the hook to pay ~$1.8 billion/year in interest
This happened with Stingrays too - usage was left out of court filings or obscured as “confidential informants”. Judges didn’t like that.
Jason Koebler@jasonkoebler.bsky.social · yesterdayNew: Police are being told to hide the fact that they're using Flock to pull people over and arrest them in both encounters with citizens but ALSO in their official police reports: www.404media.co/do-not-menti...
'You'll choke too' - an aerial embroidery landscape inspired by all the wildfires happening right now... I'm upset every time I smell smoke outside and somehow we have people starting them maliciously too! But we all breathe the same air so they'll choke too (1/2 - see thread for close-ups)
The biggest technological revolution of our lifetime and it has nothing to do with AI, crypto, metaverse, robots or any of the other massively hyped "tech" the media always talks about instead
Sarah Taber@sarahtaber.bsky.social · 2d agoAbsolutely unbelievable how solar power has taken off worldwide during the Hormuz oil crisis. You don't have to hand it to him, but Trump may have done more to finally kick off a global civilization of effete librul solar users than anyone else in the West

the next president has a duty to the country to prove that “tax immunity” is a completely made up thing that doesnt exist. they need to do this through intense prosecution to signal to future leaders what will happen if they try this
Kyle Griffin@kylegriffin1.bsky.social · 2d agoFLAG: Trump gets to keep tax immunity for himself, his sons, and the Trump Organization under the new 'deal' struck by Todd Blanche. The new order also reaffirms that Trump won't have to pay any taxes he might have owed the IRS.
Took my bike out yesterday morning and enjoyed a ride around Sunset Dunes and Golden Gate Park. It was amazing to see the city so alive and thriving. Going to try and make this a new weekly habit. I am 🤏 close to buying an e-bike for longer adventures. I love my single speed but it's hard work
www.releaselayer.com RLS is a neat MIPS alternative. Their "trick" is to make the outermost layer the one that moves vs the inner as with MIPS. Individual panels that lie on a bed of ball bearings that can crumple and roll on impact to dissipate energy. Hope to see it in more commuter helmets soon.
RLS - Release Layer System
RLS, or Release Layer System, is our patented technology that makes helmets safer by enabling the shell to roll and release upon impact, significantly dissipating rotational forces that can cause life...

Alexander Clarkson@aphclarkson.bsky.social · 5d agoAnother datapoint for the fascist radicalisation of institutional pillars of much of the American Right
My neighbor across the street got burglarized and he said the cops literally said "we're on to these guys" after saying "they've hit 20 houses in the area" and then he asked why they were able to hit 20 houses if the cops were "on to these guys" and that was the end of the investigation lol
Em, midly@lefttheprairie.bsky.social · 4d agoIt’s so funny when people are like “sure you’re an abolitionist now but wait until you’re the victim of a property crime.” Buddy, the most useful thing the police have ever done for property crime is put the form you need to submit to your insurance online.
@civic.band @phildini.net if one were interested in helping to revive data for San Francisco how can they best direct their attention and efforts?
