If in the foul Year of our Lord two thousand and twenty-six you imagine a midterm wave is an opportunity to buckle down and hammer out some sensible bipartisan legislation, find another hobby and cede the field to someone who understands what time it is.

Huge follow-up reporting to my scoop: The Guardian confirmed America Next—the conservative nonprofit founded by Bobby Jindal that was offering students $ to disrupt El-Sayed events—paid a firm registered to Tommy Teepell’s dad Timmy $250k for “canvassing and influencer marketing” against El-Sayed.

Oscar Bengal, the five year old who witnessed father’s shooting in NY last week, has stopped speaking. But authorities say he was unharmed. I sincerely hope he recovers from this trauma. Also. FUCK ICE

Politicians everywhere need to realize that kids aren't getting paid to revolt against the unreasonable; it just happens. Stop blaming others and fix the problems.

No. The carrots and celery get sliced THIN for the stew. People without teeth don't do chunky very well, and some of the intended recipients of this stew have few teeth.

Every once in a while the availability of bagel, neufchatel cheese, and lox coincide. It is cause for a minor celebration. Today is such a day. My breakfast is replete.

Now would be a great time for democrats to themselves invite election monitors and force Trump to stand by refusing to do so. Make this a big thing NOW before the election happens. He'll almost certainly have to back down, and if he doesn't, it's clear why.

HUGE: The Cheyenne and Arapaho tribes have both voted to impose a three-year moratorium on data center construction on tribal lands — temporarily banning dara centers on 8,000 square miles. The Cherokee Nation, Seminole Nation of Oklahoma, and the Kickapoo Tribe have all imposed similar bans.

@prisonculture.bsky.social ; This should NOT have taken me so long, especially given the crudeness of the design (forced by the crudeness of the available tools)... but I have a library poster for you. Please DM me a means to get it to you as a PNG or JPEG. Thank you (indeed for your patience!).

One anti-pattern that I really, really hate is - when "offering" a feature or upgrade - only presenting a choice between Do It Now and Ask Me Again Later. I would guess that 90% of users, if given their druthers, would actually choose Fuck Off And Never Bother Me Again.
