People who care about people: 1) Don't make these decisions 2) Show up physically when they make choices that negatively impact other humans
Atlas Shvitzed@therafischwartz.bsky.social · 8h agoTrying to score compassion and competency points by monitoring encampments sweeps from a fancy city hall command center like she's in the White House situation room is pretty gross!
All communications infrastructure both terrestrial and orbital, microwaves, solar power, mental health treatment, fuel economy, our understanding of the endocrine system, vaccines...
Constantine@ajaxsinger.bsky.social · 22h agoFood, 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.
At the time, medical authorities said "If any of this works, it'll look like we overreacted," and yep, here we are.
Jonathan Howard@joho.bsky.social · 9h agoMAGA/MAHA sycophants now claim that because mitigation measures worked 6 years ago, this is proof they were unnecessary. The stupid, it burns.
*stares into the middle distance* They’re… they’re gonna license “My Neck, My Back (Lick It)” for a hundred different senior medical ads starting in about 15 years.

honestly can't stress enough, as a former family law attorney, how depressingly common Max Miller's behavior and words are, right down to the petty fixation on custody procedure and rules when faced with allegations of shocking violence.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · yesterdayRep. Max Miller: "When I was reported for child abuse of my daughter for a broken collarbone, my daughter was in my ex-wife's care 9 out of the last 11 days and she took her to the emergency room, which is a contempt violation from our shared parenting plan."
When you get two cats, how do they decide which one will have a tiny chirp like a pixie’s doorbell and which one will wail like the ghost of a jilted bride?

I have, with my own eyes, watched my tax dollars in the form of missiles as they hit buildings inhabited by civilians. I'd much prefer subsidizing a grocery story I don't use.
USA TODAY Opinion@usatodayopinion.usatoday.com · 3d agoOpinion: Mamdani's idea may sound appealing, but it's NYC taxpayers who will take the hit, subsidizing discounts they may never even use.
Hear me out - throw some cash at Stephen Colbert to reboot The Colbert Report as Stephen Colbert's One Man Info Wart (the last T is silent)
InfoWars@realinfowars.bsky.social · 2d agoIt’s true! They use membership.theonion.com as a trojan horse to grow InfoWars.
yes we are gatekeeping how people get dopamine. We have done this since society began. For instance, we arrested John Wayne Gacy for chasing dopamine his preferred way
“Olive Garden. When you’re here, you’ll need ID.”@schoolbus5.bsky.social · 2d agoSo now we are gatekeeping how one obtains dopamine? The big takeaway from posts like yours and the rest comes down to: Questioning his claim because it is not your experience, so therefore something is amiss.
If you haven't spent time in around the Great Lakes, it's hard to convey just how much local organizing there is around the idea that somebody is going to "steal" (i.e. sign a contract with the government for) the water, even before AI.
Hell Gate *subscribe today!*@hellgatenyc.com · 2d ago"You belong in prison!" one attendee shouts. "You're here to steal our water!" yells another. Hell Gate spoke with activists in Wisconsin fighting a proposed data center....and Eric Adams?
this is not true. there was no conspiracy. it didn't matter whether the streetcars were publicly owned (seattle, detroit) or private (los angeles, atlanta). a thread (because i wrote a whole-ass book on this): 1/?
David Ho@davidho.bsky.social · 3d agoIs everyone aware of the General Motors streetcar conspiracy? In the mid-20th century, auto and oil interests bought up electric streetcar systems across the US and systematically replaced them with bus routes and paved roads, funneling commuters toward private cars.
Love to see our history up here accurately portrayed! The destruction of the street car system in the Twin Cities was a tragedy.
Jake Berman@lostsubways.com · 3d agoThere was, however, one exception to this: Minneapolis-St Paul. There, a finance bro, the mob, and a crooked lawyer really did buy the trains and sell them for scrap - but that was the exception, not the rule. 12/12

Exclusive: RFK Jr. hosting a new cooking show with celebrity chefs
HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., in an exclusive interview, says he will be 'reintroducing' Americans to cooking again in a new series.

Nobody wants predictive data models to stop working for the people in medicine. Or translating ancient Pompeii texts. Or the other ways we were already using it. We want it to stop replacing workers, killing the environment, and stealing from artists. Hope that clarifies.
RFK Jr said these words today on national television "There were ICUs that were empty all over the country including in New York at the height (of the pandemic)" hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha You are a fucking idiot hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha <sobs silently>
i'm sorry but "he grows anxious when he has an unexpressed thought" is an OUTSTANDING burn?????
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 3d agoSen. John Kennedy on Trump's blatant reflecting pool lies: "The president says it was caused by vandals. I don't know if he really believes that or it's part of his political messaging or he's just thinking out loud ... he grows anxious when he has an unexpressed thought."
I collect old transit tokens, and the Honolulu tokens are some of my favorites.
David Ho@davidho.bsky.social · 3d agoHonolulu once had a thriving, heavily utilized streetcar network, but like many major cities across North America, it was dismantled in favor of buses and cars. Now we wonder how to deal with congestion as everyone sits in traffic.
A lot of people got mad at me for making fun of economics dorks during the last round of Stancil discourse. To those people I say this is unassailable proof that I was right and that you owe me an apology
The Economist@economist.com · 3d agoThe Big Mac, though a single product, has over 60 distinct ingredients and draws on labour and property markets wherever it is made and served. That makes it a good choice as a standard of value
