Great, shocking reporting on the origins of the Supreme Court maneuver that has enabled Trump to impose his agenda without full-blown legal review. Roberts resented the Obama admin’s EPA and wanted quick protection for oil companies.
We reviewed an 18-page report detailing the second-by-second surveillance of a trans woman. They followed her as she went in and out of the bathroom, even though she posed 'no threat."
It's one of a bunch of new details in this deep dive that @robertsilverman.bsky.social and I took for @wired.com
This is the number 1 thing I’m a retvrn guy about
Highly recommend this book and these smart, thoughtful, funny humans behind it!
NEW—I got an exclusive excerpt from a USAID whistleblower's new book that made me gasp multiple times. It details Trump's dismantling of the humanitarian aid agency & his team/DOGE's shocking ignorance to public health.
'Into the Wood Chipper' by Nicholas Enrich is out tomorrow. Read excerpt here:
For The Kids Today I must emphasize: Kerry was a decorated combat veteran challenging GEORGE BUSH JUNIOR, a literal oil baron trust fund baby whose 1st term was even more disastrous for America & beneficial for the 1% than Trump’s, and our press decided to portray *Kerry* as the out of touch buffoon
They are both incredible. And apt. Blue Jays truly give no fucks what you think of them. 😅💕🤘🏻
Skeet from @dirtbagqueer.rocks: "up late doing worm research. People don't realize how fucked up worms are." Skeet from @philjamesson.com: "priest: and so wise king Solomon said 'I will cut the baby in half.' Me: oohhh. I get it. Baby was a worm. Priest: no it was a test Me: risky test. What if he's not a worm"
This was a very fun one-two punch on the ol' Skyline 😅🪱 #WormTalk

Opinion The Editorial Board Don't blame companies with no tax liability for following the law They're just using the tools Congress gave
If you didn’t think it was possible after yesterday’s house editorial (left) for Washpost Opinion to more obsequiously parrot their owner’s tax agenda, well, you probably haven’t seen today’s piece (right)
Dane County (Madison) is actively considering whether to end its Flock contract.

Actual lol
ICE activity in Chicagoland has been on the rise with the temperature the last few weeks. These incidents don't have the spectacle that characterized Greg Bovino and Border Patrol's raids in the fall, but people are still being abducted by federal agents across the city and suburbs.

“Projections show that Lake Powell on the Utah-Arizona border could drop low enough this year that it stops producing hydroelectric power at the Glen Canyon Dam. If it drops even lower, the dam is in danger of structural failure.”

The Geese Discourse once again reminds me of the time my college friend worked for a music marketing company & was tasked with going on punk rock forums & pretending to be an Avril Lavigne fan in order to hype her/her first album up (2002). The forum punks (rightly) laughed my friend off.

Even the AI slop generator went ahead and added an eldritch horror as Trump's guiding spirit
one of many reasons i will never accept abandoning my trans siblings or the broader queer community for the purposes of "a bigger tent"
Noise AND air pollution, often. Plus wasting energy and water resources and generally jacking up your prices for both.
Good on ya, Hungary. ❤️

The shared excitement over NASA’s recent mission compared to the general indifference to SpaceX missions speaks to the power of something seen as the product of communal human effort rather than just the ego and avarice of one obnoxious dork.

It’s a good question, let’s clear the air:
1) Disco is awesome, like 25 all-time classic tracks in a 4 year span,
2) Disco was hated because it was queer, brown, and black,
3) Disco was hated because it paired women and men in a different power dynamic.
4) “Disco Sucks” was a “ MAGA” test run.
