Is there a phase of the moon or something, everyone is being outrageously hot today
holy shit Mamdani figured out the modern-day equivalent of giving everyone a free Thanksgiving turkey
The Cut@thecut.com · 2d agoThis past weekend, New York City launched its first Parents’ Night Out, a new initiative by Mayor Zohran Mamdani to give families four hours of free babysitting. It was a hit.
You ever see someone who's so hot in an ordinary circumstance you wonder what's happening like this isn't congruent

Mother Jones@motherjones.com · 18h agoIn early August, ICE revealed plans to purchase $20 million worth of electric-shock gloves. Police departments, jails, and even school resource officers across the country have used the gloves for years—though human rights groups like Amnesty International say they’re “readily misused for torture.”

As the queer kid my parents went no contact with I can tell you I’ve never once not one single time ever seen an essay to parents about why cutting contact off with your lgbtq child isn’t the answer. Not even to say ‘putting a child on the streets is dangerous for them.’

Immediate grounds for impeachment and removal under any previous modern president. Six million people live in Colorado.
Don Moynihan@donmoyn.bsky.social · 4d agoAnother day, another impeachable offense: The White House ordered federal agencies to block resources to Colorado because it had punished an election denier. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/14/u...
Holy shit. I heard about a plant called Toona sinensis (sometimes "toon," or "beef and onion tree) reputed to have a uniquely meaty taste. I sprouted some seeds and today thinned them out. I ate the leftover sprouts and, my God. I've been a vegetarian for decades and it tasted like hamburger.
This chart has so much explanatory power, I could post it everyday
Megan Wachspress@meganwachspress.bsky.social · 4d agoToday the NYTimes published a story about prosecutors pursuing a criminal investigation against a judge's daughter as possible retaliation for that judge presiding over Trump's criminal trial. It had a single byline. The article on race and hiring at Cambridge, a UK university, had 5.
I feel so out of practice!!! But did give another undead horse a go (I wish I had a figure like the undead horsey ladies I draw)
My anecdote is people asking for money at stoplights was unheard of in my neighborhood. I would say five years ago, there was one or two. In the last 2ish years, there's at least 6 regular spots. I see a lot more people obviously living in their cars as well
Lupita Nihongo@otsumamiboy.blacksky.app · 2mo agoIf you’re upset about there being too many people asking for money just wait until every single day from now on
This feels like one of those things nerds cite as really pivotal but doesn't get a lot of wider discussion

The guy who started the pile-on that led to Jason Arday's death is an actual full-scale white supremacist.
Gregory Kohn@kohngregory.bsky.social · 5d agoIn the wake of Arday's death, Nathan Cofnas (who led the X mob against him) states his motivation. Beyond whistleblowing, he states that after a 'revolution' removes professors like Arday, it will open opportunities for him to become 'head of the department of eugenics and race science at Harvard'.
Iran hit the U.S. Navy’s main support base in Bahrain hard enough that the Navy could no longer rely on it normally for things like food and other supplies. So instead, the Navy has had to bring much more of that support from Diego Garcia, an island base about 2,200 miles farther away. #HowItsGoing

It's interesting. Earlier in the verdict they say the court has no interest if bike lanes are good or bad, etc, but here they are making a value judgement based on....their own bad common sense
ℳatt@matttomic.bsky.social · 5d agoThe judge's ruling cites "common sense" as the reason that adding more lanes eases congestion IT DOESN'T!! THERE'S AN ENTIRE FIELD OF STUDY AROUND THIS VERY TOPIC!! WE'VE KNOWN ABOUT THIS SINCE, LIKE, THE 1960s!!
![[59] The question, then, is this: is there a rational connection between the purpose of reducing traffic congestion and the decision to increase the number of lanes for motor vehicles by removing bicycle lanes? The respondents were required to establish that there was no such connection. The appellants were not required to establish that the legislation will prove effective in reducing traffic congestion.
[60] Common sense provides the answer here: increasing the number of lanes available for motor vehicles must, at least to some extent, and for some period of time, be capable of contributing to reducing traffic congestion. The legislation is therefore rational. Assumptions grounded in everyday experience and common sense need not be established empirically: Gosselin v. Québec (Attorney General), 2002 SCC 84, [2002] 4 S.C.R. 429, at para. 56.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:bumu6s332o24fppobse7j3ms/bafkreienb36anol5lhe5bysgujtctbbldmjjth6jc4cybrowrmllarjrea)
