What are we supposed to do, huh? Call bullshit, treat transparent bad faith as bad faith, shrug off low effort intimidation, and keep listing the centuries-old place name everyone uses instead of hopping to follow the ridiculous whims of one guy?!? Uh... yes. Yes. That is what you should do.
Yes, Google should absolutely be able to override deranged, random name changes from the USGS on a โno one actually uses that and youโre doing it for transparently political purposesโ basis. Like all good systems of rules, there is need for someone to be able to exercise discretionary judgement.

(1) clearly invoke your 6th amendment right to counsel (2) clearly invoke your 5th amendment right to remain silent (3) shut up You canโt talk to cops. They arenโt your friends. Theyre not there to help you. Theyโve targeted you & are looking to build a case against you. Donโt help them.
Whatโs a thing from your area of expertise (or special interest) that you think it would behoove everyone else to know?
Worth a read.
In dishonor of Ross Douthat's last NYT column, I'm breaking my self-imposed ban on reading himโsmug bad faith, whiny victimization, and steadfast refusal to let evidence affect opinionโand will screenshot and comment. This is the column if you want to read it yourself (I don't recommend it). 1/x

hot take for BlueSky I know, but I think the mass swearing in of new Americans is always the single best way to celebrate the 4th of July and every year we should be trying to break the record the single biggest number
[July 3rd, 1986] On the eve of the Fourth of July, approximately 38,000 immigrants gathered in 45 cities and on Ellis Island to take their oaths of allegiance. These ceremonies, which included televised events, welcomed new citizens from around the world.

My day job is at a rural branch of a public library, and we have a Pride display. Yesterday I was at the desk when a man came in. Fifties, maybe, or sixties. Plaid shirt, mesh trucker cap, suspenders. He went up to the display and just stood there for a long moment. Then he came up to the desk. ๐งต 1/

It's actually very easy to get broad cross-party agreement if you just make the proposition vague enough! "Food should be healthy" "Bad people should be punished" "Children should be happy" "Things should cost what they're worth"
"We want the government to crack down on this thing that no one can define" is a recipe for a right-wing power grab and a raft of moral-panic legislation.

Rereading @stephenking.bsky.social's Dr Sleep. I would read a re-release with a hundred extra vignettes of Dan helping patients cross over.
