The conventional wisdom is the Democrats' big climate law failed to deliver votes and then died. That's wrong. My new study finds its factories moved 2.5 million votes—more than Trump's margin. And the law's still alive. My latest in @theatlantic.com. Gift link! www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Bidenomics Was More Successful Than People Think

Conventional wisdom holds that Joe Biden’s bet on climate investment was a bust. The data suggest otherwise.

Pro-wrestling executive Linda McMahon issued a letter today (in her role as US Secretary of Education) demanding that universities justify their existence and explain policies to the Trump administration by the end of 2026. Not sure what the endgame is, but it sure feels like a trap.

Once again. Stop using Sticker Mule. Your money literally, not figuratively, LITERALLY, paved another fascist's way into politics. Need stickers? Get 'em from @wildeprints.com and keep your money in the fandom and away from fascists.

1. On Tuesday and with Trump's backing, Sticker Mule CEO Anthony Constantino won a competitive New York House primary—and likely a seat in Congress—after running on "aggressively detransitioning America." His extreme rhetoric must be a warning to us all.

There's a direct line between this and attacks on academic freedom. Because academic freedom empowers professors to participate in activism by reducing the risk that they'll lose their jobs because of their views.

"Davis, the government says, has attended and facilitated meetings about protests and discussed his anti-authoritarian ideology with other activists. He is not accused of violent acts, taking any specific actions at protests nor having any encounters with ICE agents. He is facing 6 years in prison."

Dave Franco says he is proud that his character Raww in ‘FORGOTTEN ISLAND’ is already beloved by furries. “They are sexualizing this character in a way I did not expect… I’ve never been lusted after harder than when I played a weredog!”

I'm opening 5 slots for custom fused glass therian pieces like these, $75 each plus $15 US shipping, you pick up to three colors. I'll fire them all the day after the last slot is claimed and ship them two days later (assuming the kiln gods fully cooperate).

They even teach this in college! This is, at least at my university, at least 1-2 lectures of the hci class if not more. “Hey, maybe get a diverse team to give you an idea of experiences that each individual may not have” shouldn’t be new to people in Ux

Micah@rincewind.run · last wk.

legitimately this is a big reason it’s important to have diverse product teams! people with different experiences have different perspectives on how something can be misused and will bring up problems that you might have missed even with a good faith attempt at thinking them through

Okay but in addition to just being cruel this upends the entire graduate school educational ecosystem. i know I said these people have literally no understanding of how knowledge is produced & think they can just Have Best Stuff while simultaneously degrading & dismantling academic research, but jfc

The most anti-legal immigrant administration ever just made it illegal for international students to transfer schools or change majors or shift any "educational objective" in their 1st year and for graduate students **at any point** ever, at all. There is no legal basis for this

Some people have no idea, like... *everything* smelled bad. Everything. We lived in a hazy, toxic, smelly public world where the furthest you could get from cigarette smoke in busy places was to be in the 'non-smoking' part of a café, which was the same room as the smoking part.

Olivia Hill@machineiv.bsky.social · 3w ago

I genuinely hate the push to make smoking a thing again. I have watched so many drawn out, ugly, painful deaths from smoking. It makes everything disgusting. It enslaves us to the worst kinds of corporations. There’s ZERO positive here.
