I do not regret to inform you that we are going to win
The Wall Street Journal@wsj.com · 18h agoNew York City’s business elites are long accustomed to direct access to City Hall, where even Democratic mayors felt the need to court the city’s wealthiest and most influential corporate leaders. That access is getting shredded by Mayor Zohran Mamdani.
My book “This is Fine: Life Lessons for a World on Fire” is out today. Online and at select retailers.

Painting 1 of 3 rotor blades black on 4 Norwegian turbines cut bird collisions by nearly 72 percent, and the white tailed eagles under them stopped hitting the rotors altogether
Smøla is a low treeless island off the northwest coast of Norway, and 68 wind turbines stand on it.

The most terrifying enshittification I've discovered has been learning that Microsoft Word documents no longer auto-save if you are not saving them to one of their own proprietary cloud services. I'm slapping control-S like it's 1999.
I don't know if I saw four or five separate bats tonight or was being stalked by one particular bat, but either way a half hour is a long time to share your personal space with a bat. 🦇
venus flytraps feel like they're actually kind of a big deal. it's a plant that evolved a mouth (with teeth!) and something approximating sensation and movement. in another 300 million years what's that going to be? there could be fully mobile, sentient plantimals running around
We’re also funding death squads but what’s really offensive is that somewhere out there a poor person might be able to eat
USA TODAY Opinion@usatodayopinion.usatoday.com · 2d agoOpinion: Mamdani's idea may sound appealing, but it's NYC taxpayers who will take the hit, subsidizing discounts they may never even use.
suddenly we're "making everything about autism" or "romanticizing" it. Maybe the real issue is that society has been so conditioned to avoid anything that makes people uncomfortable that even seeing disabled people exist openly, happily, and authentically feels like too much.
Non-autistic people talk about their lives, their struggles, their wins, their identities, ALL THE F’N TIME and nobody accuses them of making it their whole personality. But the moment autistic people share our experiences or celebrate the things that bring us joy
Just your regular reminder that: 1) Almost everyone has an underlying health issue if you look hard enough 2) People with underlying health issues don't deserve to die for eating lettuce 3) We should be strengthening, not weakening our regulatory processes. And properly funding them.
The New York Times@nytimes.com · 2d agoBreaking News: Two deaths in Michigan have been linked to cyclospora. Both people who had the parasite also had underlying health issues.
I was gone for TWO WHOLE HOURS so she desperately needed to recharge her snuggle batteries.
I got a flu booster today and it made me reflect on the sense of national accomplishment I felt when I drove to a public facility, waited in my car until my number was called on an app, and got my first covid jab. It's fucked the right gets to erase what a moment of technological liberation that was
There is no version of yourself you could become that would satisfy the people who hate you. So you might as well be who you are.
I'm not going to be relitigating COVID lockdowns or mask mandates. Both were necessary measures that saved lives. If you cannot accept the curtailing of even the minor of freedoms in the name of public safety, you have demonstrated that you do not give a solitary fuck about the rest of us.
One of the yard bunnies stopped by for brekkie and has just finished. #mammals Desert cottontail rabbit 🐇
You know what would be really awesome? If everyone reacted the same way when they find out their buddy is an abuser. I'm not holding my breath.
And this came after the groom had allegedly abused one of the president's aides, Stephanie Grisham?
Professa Murray@kalimurray.bsky.social · 3d agoTo the extent that the media is treating this as a horse story: Max Miller is not a some random candidate from Ohio. This is a picture of President Trump speaking at the wedding of Max Miller and Emily Moreno.
Every adult woman that I have been deeply familiar with has had a moment with a man when she knows that he would hit her if be could get away with it. Some even know what he looks like when he does it. You never forger what it looks and feel like. That Miller video has it all.
Here's an in flight acorn woodpecker I captured several minutes ago to hold youse over while I figure out wtf to do with my day that isn't "go home in the air conditioning" 🪶
It’s not “I didn’t do this.” It’s “I get to do this.”
“If this was true, I would be in jail,” is not meant to convince you that this man did not commit gender violence. It is meant to remind you that we have collectively decided that gender violence will be de facto invisible to the law.
It's common knowledge that one of the most dangerous times for a woman is after she leaves an abusive man. It's terrifying to then, with shared custody, let that man have access to your child. Knowing his anger and violence issues, you will do almost anything to try to keep him calm and happy.
Things I and friends have done to calm an angry abusive man from further escalating and killing us or our children: -Smiled -Kept normal schedules in order not to trigger a fight -Appeased with kind acts (cooking, cleaning, favors) -Forced friendly tones and words
The Bulwark@thebulwark.com · 3d agoRep. Max Miller: "My former wife has claimed that during a custody exchange at my home that day, I assaulted her…If I had assaulted her, would she have offered to cook me dinner six days later?"
"Her case echoes a similar one a week earlier in Buffalo, New York, where a 56-year-old Rohingya refugee with significant vision impairment and limited English was found dead after the US border patrol dropped him off alone at a closed Tim Hortons coffee shop."
