The attempt to strip Ilhan Omar of her citizenship is one of the most grave attacks on liberty that the Trump regime has attempted.— www.unpopularfront.news/p/whats-at-s...

I worked with—and deeply admired—Helen for almost 30 years. She was hands down *the best source* about emerging infectious diseases that I've ever known. My first warning of COVID was when on Dec 28, 2019 she reposted a ProMED mail report of an atypical pneumonia cluster: "This doesn't look good."

Death Dragging an Old Man to His Tomb, by Stefano della Bella, 1648

New from Nikole Hannah-Jones: In fighting for every Black child, Did I betray my own? ‘A decade ago, I made a decision about my daughter’s education that I hoped would challenge NYC’s unequal school system. Now 16, she thinks I made the wrong choice’

once a bunch of miscellaneous crap has been put into a neat little pile on a side table it’s not going anywhere. it lives there now.

What Pablo Torre did was ridiculously impressive. Uncovered a conspiracy between rich guys, withstood a propaganda campaign by one of the richest guys in the world with a pretty good reputation, didn't buckle or panic, and just kept reporting. That's some Pulitzerin' right there.

Stunning work as always from @cangeo.bsky.social's Canadian Wildlife Photography of the Year. Treat yourself:

Tim Curry should also be remembered for featuring in the best between takes photo of an actor in recorded history.

I find the continued angry reactions to this - that I am 'normalizing' or 'naturalizing' fascism - unsurprising but also very silly. What is gained by pretending a (bad, evil) political movement that bubbles foully up, unbidden, in almost every democracy doesn't actually appeal to people?

EDITOR: You get those photos of Leonard for the album cover? PHOTOGRAPHER: Sure did, boss—real mob hitman, just like you asked

"are spreadsheets a protected class?" you're thinking of object orientation, spreadsheets are reactive functional programming

50 years ago, Penske Racing took its first and only #F1 victory, one year after the death of Mark Donohue. I talked to John Watson about what it meant to take that win: deadlypassionsterriblejoys.substack.com/p/john-watso...

Milwaukee officials are done counting absentees. They got up to around 28k, and hope to report them by 10:30 p.m. That would be a relatively early night for the state's biggest Election Day operation.

NEW FROM ME: The Great Delegalization. There are now (almost certainly far more than) 1M immigrants who were protected from deportation on Jan 20, 2025, and no longer are. It’s the result of a problem that’s been building for 30 years—& now only Congress can fix. www.newyorker.com/news/the-led...

THIS WEEK: I camped at Richard Bong State Recreation Area and I loved it

NEW: A hacker tracked @agreenberg.bsky.social from his apartment to the subway to his desk using a $30 kids' smartwatch, took photos through its camera and listened in on him at work. Tens of millions of the devices run on three backends in China, and they're all broken.

NEWS: Hong’s recent national media appearances have some Wisconsin Dems worried Source: “The central tension of this campaign is between the folks who want (Hong) to be governor of Wisconsin, and the folks who want (her campaign) to be for socialism." www.therecombobulationarea.com/p/hongs-rece...

I came across this 1879 "Panoramic View of the city of Minneapolis," and while it's not strictly to scale, it's what I've been looking for to conceptualize the sheer size of Lowry Hill (the hill). In this detail, the pond is what today is Loring Park. Full map: commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Pa...

this interview with Nolan from a Chinese outlet is the best i've heard on The Odyssey so far. really worth listening to. (lmao what is this link image?)

lots of people saying "they're the same" but the difference between a bad joke and a dad joke is that one isn't obvious and the other is apparent
