RAGBRAI (The Register's Annual Great Bike Ride Across Iowa) is one of the most celebrated bike rides in the world.

Needed this.

Two smaller things I appreciate here: 1. Unless I’m mistaken, there are zero cuts or edits in this? It’s the whole conversation, start to finish. 2. The addition of “or not pray at all” every single time, which a lot of candidates tend to omit.

No Kings. No Courtiers. No Oligarchs.

Adam Schefter: He’s back: The Bears are planning to start Caleb Williams after he missed the past three games due to a torn hamstring but went through a full week of practice this week without any setbacks, per NFLN and ESPN.

I had a great time visiting Inkas in Irvine, a women-led, family-owned Peruvian restaurant that has been serving our Orange County community for more than 25 years.

Resistance is futile 🎃

We’ve got something special here.

The Star Spangled Banner being played by the Mariachi Herencia de Mexico band before the Bears-Eagles game in Chicago on Monday Night Football was a deeply cool thing to see tonight

Bears win.

Okay so I've built a new Atlas, this time it lets you explore the conversations on Bluesky over the past 7 days graphically. It should update every ~6 hours and help you navigate the information environment that exists on here. I've learned a LOT about what people do here today... atlas.jazco.dev

As called by Gary Dolphin on Iowa radio:

None of us can top E.B. White on this argument

What you've all been waiting for ‼️

to me the question at the heart of AI and data center discourse is: how and how much should society be computerized? we’ve spent 75 years bringing computation into every activity and institution. it has always made people nervous, but we’re now at 4-5% of US electricity going to computation

This week’s main story is about how police use surveillance tools like cameras, microphones, license plate readers, “cell site simulators,” and the practice of “predictive policing,” to create a world that has been lovingly described as “Big Brother on steroids.” Full segment at the link in our bio.

Post a perfect album from the 90s that isn’t Nirvana, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, or Alice In Chains.

Happy birthday, Sweetness! 💙

This morning in Biddeford, Maine, a 26-year-old man said goodbye to his wife and daughter and left for work. Moments later he was dead, shot in the head by ICE agents, the second man ICE has killed in six days. ICE is killing our neighbors. ICE cannot be reformed. Abolish ICE.

ALL EYES ON ICE

Come forward, patron saint of Bluesky!!

NEW: He was picking up a work crew to take them to construction site at 6 a.m. on Tuesday morning. ICE showed up. And now this small business owner, the father of three American citizens, is dead. www.thebulwark.com/p/he-lived-h...

Thank you so much for all of your happy birthday wishes. Honestly, I don’t really feel 100. I feel pretty good. I feel like I’m only 98!

Incredible chart from @propublica.org. If you don’t follow enviro stuff closely, your instinct might be that the hold-your-nose solution (carbon capture from fossil fuels) would be the “pragmatic” one versus covering Earth in solar panels, which seems utopian. In fact it’s the opposite

Ok so I JUST realized the USMNT (and @uswnt.ussoccer.com) have active verified accounts on here

Up to almost 17k followers now - please continue to share, boost and do everything to ensure Ukraine stays in the news, and use reliable sources. It was nice to see over 400 likes again yesterday - it was an important and lengthy thread - here's the link if you missed it: bsky.app/profile/twmc...

assuming a lifespan of 80 years, the length of the entire human civilization is only about 70 people old. The US Civil War was two people ago and the Ottomans sacked Constantinople seven people ago. Not very long!

On Memorial Day, we pay tribute to the brave men and women in uniform who gave their lives for this country that we love. It is a debt we can never fully repay, but we must never stop trying.

It's the anniversary of the meeting of Constitutional Convention:
