Whether something is “political” or not is super irrelevant EVERYTHING is political which means NOTHING is political which is why shitturds love the word so much because they can make it mean whatever they want without any accountability

"I think the task right now is to de-escalate, to not step into the trap that is being laid" This is the way

A must read: The fantastic @katerqburns.bsky.social breaks down the controversy Christian Supremacist/Nationalist celeb Sean Feucht will try to manufacture in Seattle this weekend. You don't have to be a fortune teller to know what Feucht's up to. www.thestranger.com/news/2025/08...

Patriarchy can't survive without incessant gaslighting

The irony/idiocy of this banner currently draped on the Department of Labor building is not lost on me, given all the federal workers he's forced out of their jobs. (Pic via Getty Images)

Capitalism is not about creating innovative solutions to existing problems and bringing them to market. Capitalism is about number-go-up at any cost This is why so many companies are out to create problems that they conveniently are positioned to solve. See: anything targeted toward women

Just realized how much the title of this article (and my conclusion) are a little too "try harder not to get raped" Updated Conclusion: Men: Listen to women and let them be

I always "knew" the reason women have 80% of chronic illnesses was a lot more than biological. Just learned there's data to back it up Conclusion: Don't listen to what men tell you to be time.com/6319549/sile...

Just thinking how incredibly white-supremacist Ancient Aliens was The premise was basically “I’m white and live in modern times and I don’t know how to build a rock wall that well, so there’s no way a brown person from 2000 years ago could figure it out. Must’ve been aliens”

I wish the word "safety" still meant something

The media coverage of ebikes continues to drive me crazy. Nowhere in this piece does it actually explain that any throttle e-bike that can go over 20 mph *is already illegal* per state vehicle code, and didn't need a separate law in Marin to address. www.kqed.org/news/12050242

Imagine being so offended by seeing people who haven't invested their ego into shiny metal boxes that you bribe an elected official so you don't have to see more of them

The effort to redesign McGuinness Blvd. was jump started in 2021 after a beloved local teacher was killed there by a hit-and-run driver. But that seemed to matter less to former mayoral aide Ingrid Lewis-Martin, who stopped the safety plan in exchange for money and a TV cameo. buff.ly/GDuiJLf

Nothing is more important than a number going up

The New Yorker@newyorker.com

A months-long investigation estimates that the profits from the Trump family's ventures in private clubs, hotels, golf courses, crypto currencies, NFTs, and other businesses has raised President Trump’s net worth by billions of dollars.

I am 110% for the Gateway Program, I just wish we could have nice things for the sake of having nice things without having to prove their “economic potential”

Central NJ Yimby 🏗️🚲🚇🇺🇸@princetonyimby.bsky.social

Mayors from towns and cities in the Raritan Valley region of New Jersey are calling for "full" completion of the Gateway Program, including expansion of NY Penn Station, which they call "a key improvement to help fully realize our region’s economic potential". www.nj.com/opinion/2025...

A year ago I started writing a short video called "Why does it take 10 years to build a bike lane? (but REALLY why?)" and it has morphed into a three-part, multi-hour YouTube miniseries on everything wrong with our culture and how I believe we can fix it. ADHD is a hell of a drug

He can get away with saying this because chat gpt users couldn’t recognize actual expertise if their lives depended on it

“GPT-5 is the first time that it feels like talking to an expert in any topic — a Ph.D.-level expert,” OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said.

I keep reading these announcements as Library trains and being momentarily confused

The @amtrak.com Acela Liberty trains are finally getting ready to hit the rails in the Northeast Corridor at the end of August! We’re going to try to be on one of the first trains. Hope to see you there!
