Last night, after an hours-long public hearing, Monterey Park became the first city in California to pass an ordinance permanently banning data centers.
The city council voted unanimously to declare data centers a public nuisance, and to "prohibit all data centers within city limits."

Media needs to stop with "critics say" and just quote the actual language of the bill.
HB 249 creates a new category of "seminudity" which can be used to arrest women who aren't nude, but are wearing clothing — leggings, t-shirts without bras — that religious groups feel is too provocative.

Things to respond with when fitness accounts slide into your DMs:

For most of the time I worked on the Gaza humanitarian response at USAID, this smuggling ring was the bane of our existence. It dramatically impacted price and market stability in Gaza and made the truck drivers jobs far more dangerous. We all knew it was the IDF running it.

The Editorial Board C @editorialboard.bsky.social Verily, verily, I say unto you: Democrats pay attention to people who vote, not people who won't. Like everyone else, they respond positively to promises, negatively to threats. If you wanted an end to Netanyahu's genocide, you should have voted for Harris, then made clear what you expect in return.
Clearly someone who knows how to reach real normal everyday people by saying things like “verily, verily, I say unto you:…”

The Reagan counterrevolution only deepened America's problems. It turned the country against government and against taxation. Remember, after eight Republican years in the 1950s, with George Humphrey as Secretary of the Treasury, the highest marginal tax rate was 91 percent. Contrast that with the situation last year when the rich acted as if raising it from 28 to 32 percent were the end of Western Civilization. So overwhelming is that opposition, that politicians who privately see no other alternative to raising taxes, remain silent, because to favor tax hikes publicly would be political suicide.
the past is another country

PANEL 1: MATTIE is talking to A GUY. They're both up to their waists in water. MATTIE: Concerning amount of water, don't you think? GUY: Eh! PANEL 2: The water is now up to their shoulders. GUY: I have great news about the future. MATTIE: Oh? This doesn't seem great. PANEL 3: The water is now up to their heads, they both tilt their heads back to speak. The GUY is now holding up his phone. GUY: The KIDS will fix it! They'll fix all of it. I saw it, on my phone. MATTIE: Ohhh I see it now. Phew! PANEL 4: The water fills the frame. The GUY's phone and glasses float atop it.

The Columbine massacre was on this date in 1999. Instead of energizing our country to get gun violence under control, it kicked off a new normal. One of the best explanations ever of journalism's destructive impact on mass shootings came from Roger Ebert in his review of Gus Van Sant’s “Elephant.”
