Talarico: "We just found out that [Elon Musk] is almost single-handedly bankrolling this effort to install Ken Paxton in the U.S. Senate and defeat this movement...Elon Musk wants our land. He wants our water. He wants his very own personal United States senator. He is trying to buy Texas."

This letter I received is what this campaign is all about. Susan Collins is out of touch with what Mainers are going through โ€” and sheโ€™s making it worse by rubber-stamping Donald Trumpโ€™s agenda...

For anyone wondering, SLF is The Senate Leadership Fund. (I had to look it up)

Elon Musk is single-handedly funding the Ken Paxton campaign:

What are we supposed to do, huh? Call bullshit, treat transparent bad faith as bad faith, shrug off low effort intimidation, and keep listing the centuries-old place name everyone uses instead of hopping to follow the ridiculous whims of one guy?!? Uh... yes. Yes. That is what you should do.

Yes, Google should absolutely be able to override deranged, random name changes from the USGS on a โ€œno one actually uses that and youโ€™re doing it for transparently political purposesโ€ basis. Like all good systems of rules, there is need for someone to be able to exercise discretionary judgement.

Ron and Cassie DeSantis: These two crooks stole $10 million from a settlement with a charity, wired it to Cassieโ€™s fake โ€œcharity,โ€ laundered it through two puppet organizations, and then used it for political ads in an election year. They should be in jail.

The ag lobby really, really, really, really, really, really, really wants you to think AI is the reason reservoirs are going empty. It's not. It's agriculture.

We have data on this. The blue is all the non-ag human use:

If you donโ€™t have good (and tested) backups of your data you donโ€™t own it, youโ€™re just borrowing it from Fate. And yes, this also applies to data โ€œin the cloudโ€.

Whatโ€™s a thing from your area of expertise (or special interest) that you think it would behoove everyone else to know?

Worth a read.

In dishonor of Ross Douthat's last NYT column, I'm breaking my self-imposed ban on reading himโ€”smug bad faith, whiny victimization, and steadfast refusal to let evidence affect opinionโ€”and will screenshot and comment. This is the column if you want to read it yourself (I don't recommend it). 1/x

Whitehouse: "Today I think is a sad and embarrassing day for this committee as it looks like on a party-line vote we are going to advance out of this committee probably the most discreditable person ever to seek the office of attorney general. Let's start with the Epstein files ... "

hot take for BlueSky I know, but I think the mass swearing in of new Americans is always the single best way to celebrate the 4th of July and every year we should be trying to break the record the single biggest number

1981 / 1986 News@40yearsago.bsky.social

[July 3rd, 1986] On the eve of the Fourth of July, approximately 38,000 immigrants gathered in 45 cities and on Ellis Island to take their oaths of allegiance. These ceremonies, which included televised events, welcomed new citizens from around the world.

One of these guys is John Cafaro, the Trump donor whose company won a no bid multi million dollar contract to renovate the reflecting pool... which is now infected with algae, and the paint is already peeling.

Fuck this guy and fuck you if you voted for him.

Trump: "Guys like me built the country. I watch all these ingrates, they're always complaining, complaining. They didn't build anything, they couldn't build anything. Look at what's happened in Minnesota. Somalia."

My day job is at a rural branch of a public library, and we have a Pride display. Yesterday I was at the desk when a man came in. Fifties, maybe, or sixties. Plaid shirt, mesh trucker cap, suspenders. He went up to the display and just stood there for a long moment. Then he came up to the desk. ๐Ÿงต 1/

It's actually very easy to get broad cross-party agreement if you just make the proposition vague enough! "Food should be healthy" "Bad people should be punished" "Children should be happy" "Things should cost what they're worth"

"We want the government to crack down on this thing that no one can define" is a recipe for a right-wing power grab and a raft of moral-panic legislation.

CALIFORNIA: Ballots are dropping. Please do not vote early. Wait until the last day you can send them in, or (like I do), fill it out the night before and walk it in on voting day and drop it off, then you get your sticker and a smile. Pictured: San Francisco Voters at the Neptune Society

Donald Trump called Somalis โ€œanimals.โ€ He said Haitians eat dogs and cats. You fucking journalists had a party with him and now you want our sympathy. Fuck off.

They have this block party in Brooklyn every so often. They play the best house music. I admire them from afar. I wish we could do this in San Francisco. #sanfrancisco #blockparty #brooklyn

The Wallet & Apple Pay setup system panel is a bad user interface. Steve Jobs would have someone pushed out the window of the top floor for this.

Don't do this. Under no circumstances should you unlock your phone and hand it to a TSA agent or any other kind of government worker who can take your phone. Once it is unlocked, they can look at everything on your phone; if your Gmail is connected, they can snoop your email going back years.

You should be able to report SF Muni drivers for bad driving and aggressive braking. Some of thes assholes almost throw me out of my seat.

This whole concept in LOTR is one of my favourite parts of the whole book. โ€œEvil fucks up because evil people fundamentally cannot imagine that others are not motivated by the same things as themโ€ is another theme that feels relevant right now
