How many more studies does your city need proving that people on bikes and on foot spend more on shopping streets than people in cars?
Bike-lanes mean business. #UrbanTruth
Hello. Fire pits that require consumers to pour isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol or other liquid fuel into an open container or bowl and then ignite the pooled liquid in the same location it was poured violate the requirements in voluntary safety standard ASTM F3363-19.
In light of the Andes variant of Hanta virus on the M/V Hondius and the Ebola outbreak in Congo, I share this retrospective of editorial cartoons from Chappatte - so you can recall how we (ie humans) respond to virus outbreaks: www.chappatte.com/en/virus-scare
Do what's right for your own healing. Always. Whether or not you forgive is your thing.
But NB "forgive" doesn't HAVE to mean "tell them you forgive them" & it CERTAINLY doesn't have to mean "let them back in your life" & ABSOLUTELY doesn't have to mean "give them a chance to do that shit again."
Look, I get wanting to protect your trademark. But, this kind of legal bullying is BS.
Y'all know what to do. Here is the website for the Friends for Animals of Metro Detroit: www.metrodetroitanimals.org. Show them some love. 🩷
A Dearborn animal shelter raising money for homeless dogs and cats has been forced to rename its upcoming “Pawchella” fundraiser after receiving a cease-and-desist letter from the company behind Coachella, one of the world’s most famous music festivals.
Everything You Always Wanted to Know about Indirect Costs (But Were Afraid to Ask)
I have been working on this post for some time.
Lots of data, analysis, and some policy recommendations.

Questions and comments welcome.
A study finds that vaccine-hesitant older adults are more willing to accept hypothetical COVID shots when they are described as preserving their freedom and autonomy rather than as complying with government recommendations.

What this shows is that a staggering 63%(!) of people arrested by ICE in Minnesota during Operation Metro Surge (from December through February) had no criminal record at all.
Quick and dirty; here's ICE arrests in Minnesota by criminality, from October 2025 to early March 2026. Note the MASSIVE spike in arrests of people with no criminal record
/"convicted criminal" means any conviction no matter how minor. "Other immigration violator" means no known criminal record.
Here's back to back clips of Fox & Friends misleading viewers this morning by presenting as though it's new an old clip of Donald Trump attending a dignified transfer without his campaign baseball cap on (unlike yesterday, when he wore one), then apologizing for it later in the show
Wow -- as first spotted by @BadFoxGraphics on X, Fox & Friends this morning used *old footage of a previous dignified transfer* to mislead their audience about the fact that Trump wore a baseball cap during the one yesterday
In a scathing review, the top US medical journal's editorial board warned that the "destruction that Kennedy has wrought in 1 in office might take generations to repair." n.pr/3N9Foa8
🚨BREAKING: Todd Lyons, the acting chief of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), has admitted to senators that federal immigration officers would have “no reason” to be at voting locations this November. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

On the way to a hospital for an uncontrolled nosebleed, 7 yr old Diana Crespo and her family were snatched by ICE.
She is now in Dilley detention center where a measles outbreak is occurring and conditions are very poor

After a second killing by ICE agents in Minneapolis, Pam Bondi sent a letter to Minnesota’s governor that tied the violence to demands for access to the state’s voter rolls. Our latest podcast explains why this is an abuse of power: bit.ly/4qcmjBM
Do you believe Trump or what you see with your own eyes? He says economy is good, but you know prices are up. He says ICE is doing well, but we watch them murder Americans. He says he has nothing to hide w/ Epstein, but he still won't release the files.
Kare 11 local news just read, in full, this statement from Michael and Susan Pretti, the parents of Alex Pretti.
"Please get the truth out about our son."
Given Julia’s sources, I suspect that this is a career person who is actually well trained and not authorized to speak publicly, and not an admin political official who will defend the ICE officer no matter what.
This seems significant: not a FORMER DHS official, but a SENIOR (current) one saying the officer who fired acted counter to training.
This is not an admin that admits mistakes. And they are hanging this guy out to dry on Day One.
I think they know this is bad. Really bad.
Trump says the U.S. will defend peaceful protesters in Iran.
At home, he sent federal forces and National Guard troops into American cities to suppress peaceful protests against ICE abuses.
You don’t defend free speech abroad while undermining it at home.
The White House claims the vote to rename the Kennedy Center was “unanimous.” That is false. I was muted on the call and denied the opportunity to speak or register my opposition. That is not consensus. That is censorship.
This is fucking grim. Somebody invented a white guy, an "IT professional" named Edward Crabtree, who stopped the Bondi shooting and spread it all over the internet, which was picked up by AI agents and slop aggregation sites.
The real hero is a fruit stand owner named Ahmed el Ahmed.
Tomorrow marks 13 years since the Sandy Hook shooting ended the lives of 20 children. Today, we lost two more students. How many of our young people must we lose before our legislators are willing to act?
