that Atlantic article that Kash Patel is suing them over is really a must-read. these are pros, and they covered their bases:
"the more than two dozen people I interviewed …described Patel’s tenure as a management failure and his personal behavior as a national-security vulnerability"
of all the times he’s claimed “it’s like nothing anybody’s seen before”, whaddya know, this time it’s true! Oil and gas crisis from Iran war worse than 1973, 1979 and 2022 together, says IEA
Propose we name a section at Q2, the Jayden Nelson Stand 😁 #AustinFC
It's not just what comes out of the tailpipe that's bad. Getting oil, shipping oil, refining oil; it's dirty & dangerous every step of the way (and that's not even counting the wars) solarnoon.net/2026/04/04/o... (story via @capitalb.bsky.social)
same here - so frustrating! please help fix this, someone @bandcamp.com 🙏

I finished the book How to Kill a Witch by Zoe Venditozzi & Claire Mitchell. a quick, interesting read for women’s history month 📚

"read about it at your Barnes & Noble"
The world could be such a nice place if we allowed it. It's all so goddamn unnecessary. There's no need for any of it. It's so beautiful here. It should be so cool to be alive
I’ve shared this before, but since it’s the best performance of the best rock song ever made, a repeat should be okay. Wussy, Teenage Wasteland

I don’t use Google anymore (still liking Kagi), but I understand it remains popular, so here’s a tip on how to make the Guardian your go-to news source in Google search

the Volts podcast is normally about clean energy topics, but this episode with Michael Hobbes about “reactionary centrism” was fantastic. clear-eyed analysis of media and punditry trends that explains a lot about [gestures] …all of this
this would be a great live performance by Annabelle Chairlegs of their new single Concrete Trees even if she wasn’t wearing the not-yet-released top-secret new Austin FC 2026 away jersey

amazing RATM cover by Brass Against, Killing in the Name

stunning podcast from The Guardian, Minneapolis citizens on protecting their neighbours from ICE. our own government is (still! after two murders!) terrorizing its own people

Is this how it’s always been?
To exist in the face of suffering and death
And somehow still keep singing?"
hi, there! after reading Bill McKibben’s Here Comes the Sun last year, I’ve become a clean-energy zealot. I’ve been learning a lot about it; it’s an area with fantastic potential & massive innovation… there’s so much good news (& bad; thanks Tr*mp) that I’ve started a new blog: Solar Noon

happy new year
birthday cheers, big brother 🍻
really love that the platform selling tickets (sorry, allowing applications to maybe, if I’m lucky, possibly buy tickets) to the most expensive event I’ll ever attend in my life is a janky piece of web garbage that doesn’t even work #WorldCup26 ⚽️

Twitter retweet by Elon Musk reading: "If current trends continue, Whites will go from being a small minority of world population today to virtually extinct!" above a meaningless fake graphic pushing great replacement lies.
if you still use twitter you support white supremacy
