Everyone should read these threads I did about industry lobbyists and the EPA and understand them. Take the time to see the unambiguous evidence of what's happening now at this moment inside the EPA. Please retweet them. Please read them. Each one of the threads. It's happening in slow motion.

You probably won’t be surprised by the main conclusions here, but the details are infuriating.

The name of New Mexico is funny because it's one of those things that you'd think is really simple (oh, it's it used to be part of old Mexico, so we'll call it New Mexico!), but it's much more complex New Mexico as the name for the area predates Mexico by several hundred years!

“The internet is a store but it used to be a library” hits me like a slug to the chest

oh man 😂

Holy shit.

There is a moment at the very very end of Abdul El-Sayed's podcast with Ezra Klein (book recommendation section) where he talks about the idea of "speaking truth to pain" and this will be staying with me for an extremely long time. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/25/o...

Am I Bluesky-brained if I saw this picture and immediately thought it’s fodder for a @kevinmkruse.bsky.social insultathon?

Had it happened before today that Apple didn’t announce all members of a new iPhone generation at once?

This “game” on the White House website, a version of Snake where you play as a white man in a suit and you run around picking up identifiably black, Asian, and Latino men and putting them in orange jumpsuits, might be the most openly white supremacist thing I’ve ever seen the US government produce

For various Reasons I have been pondering the idea that a story needs a character that is Obviously Like the Reader in some way for a reader to identify with. Which led me to remember this. www.cbc.ca/radio/thecur...

Gary, Indiana is without power for the 11th straight day after storms. This is climate injustice.

Found this recording of Rita Moreno performing “Fever” on The Muppet Show from 1976. 14/10

Remarkable how little political noise it's made here in the US that a major American naval base in Bahrain was basically destroyed, and that this was kept quiet for five months www.nytimes.com/2026/08/14/u...

Another 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...

Seven key neofascist narratives, translated into rational English:

Since there's been a lot of talk this week about candidates having previously said "defund/abolish the police" and them backtracking on it. It's very easy to answer for that without backing down: Some sort of policing are necessary to avoid mob justice, but they don't need to have tanks.

Tales of everyday corruption. Pete Hegseth cancelled the $400,000 contract for making uniforms for the Blue Angels on the grounds that the contract with "The Sewing Box" was DEI since the firm is Black-owned. Instead, he awarded it to a Trump donor for $1,690,000, a 325% price increase!

the intentional abdication by Congress of nearly all of its constitutional responsibilities is at the core of most of our problems as a nation

A very serious Rural Politico once told me "Dems have to go to farmer meetings! We gotta be where the people are!" I was in fact in a farmer meeting at that very moment! So I live-texted him the meeting. They were complaining that they want indentured workers that they don't have to pay or feed.

Exceptionally well done look at the shape of war in Ukraine, new kinds of hell defined by cheap and abundant and expendable drones, a new far-ranging kill later on top of 20th and 21st century weapons and machines www.reuters.com/graphics/UKR...

Would assume everyone knows it by now, but just in case "First the traitors, then the invaders" is an explicit reference to The Turner Diaries, where a white supremacist revolution overruns "The System" and kills all their enemy during the evocatively named "Day of the Rope".

We just hate it when there’s no aircraft visible on the Las Vegas live stream. The camera at LAS has recently been upgraded, so now you can not see this airplane in 4K. Watch the 24/7 automated live stream at www.youtube.com/watch?v=V7_o...

Hey men, read this from Dr Cottom. Also listen to this segment from This American Life about men not believing women about menstrual pain. www.thisamericanlife.org/840/how-are-...

They're continuing to kill people because this administration has told them that the people they're apprehending -- and those who defend them -- deserve violence, that no amount of violence is too much, and that no matter how egregious the abuse, they'll never be held accountable.
