IMPORTANT: The Dutch invested €595 million annually on urban biking, resulting in €19 BILLION saved in public health care costs alone. That’s how smart governments do the math on investing in better mobility. Let’s be clear— it WASTES public money to NOT do it. #CityMakingMath HT @modacitylife.com

Love this review. Reminds me of RedEdit, cdevs, and piles of MacUser magazines too precious to trash (recycling being a thing we didn’t do at home yet)

This is the best product review I’ve read: samhenri.gold/blog/2026031... It doesn’t matter if you’re interested in the MacBook Neo or not; this is the kind of essay that makes you think about the potential of technology and the joys of exploration.

Maybe one day immigration policies that foster integration, lower the national debt, and build a healthy amount of diversity in broad ranges of characteristics will come to be appreciated by voting populations and politicians.

When you put it all together, this is what the fiscal flows for immigrants have looked like for the last 30 years. Immigrants have reduced the deficit every year for 3 decades.

Great post and important to remember what’s happened before

NEW: Gregory Bovino is exactly who E.B. White — author of 'Charlotte's Web' — warned us about. DHS named its North Carolina anti-immigrant effort "Operation Charlotte's Web." In 1940, White wrote of the "smell" that "rises" from those who "adjust to fascism" over freedom. Tonight, at Law Dork:

Ezra Klein and Jon Stewart over-simplify and caricature the restrictions on this $42.5 billion broadband grant program to falsely paint the whole thing as an irredeemable waste. But they fail to mention a lot of important stuff because they didn't actually understand what they were talking about...

It’s almost as if calling people names doesn’t actually refute their arguments or positions

They don’t! Trump and his people call people communists and I would argue. It has no real meaning outside of that ideological bubble. But because there are no longer any real communists to deal with it kind of doesn’t matter

There’s seemingly a lot of people that want to throw some shade at @karaswisher.bsky.social for some comments that got published today. I’d just like to say - good job talking about what you know. Anyone interpreting that in other ways is probably being just argumentative for no reason.

"You can't disassociate. There's no disassociation allowed... It's the long fucking run with these people. You gotta stick in there." @karaswisher.bsky.social has some important advice amid all the Trump and Elon chaos.

I support this plan

derek guy@dieworkwear.bsky.social

the plan? build a social media following by tweeting about pants and then, when the moment is right, put out anti-walkability tweets until people sell their homes in walkable neighborhoods, allowing me, a non-rich person, to buy a home in a walkable neighborhood for $300k

This is how misinformation works—inflammatory headline, mundane details in the text. The story is that there's no story here, a pre-trial magistrate with no connection to UHC at all. But you can see in the replies how few people clicked through—just see who uses male pronouns (judge is a woman):

In all fairness - when you take this many trips, it’s hard to remember them all individually

The New York Times@nytimes.com

Justice Clarence Thomas failed to disclose two additional trips from a billionaire patron, Senate Democrats revealed on Saturday after conducting a 20-month investigation into ethics practices at the Supreme Court.
