An important anniversary today – it's 20 years since the murder of Anna Politkovskaya in her Moscow apartment building. As this piece describes, she was one of the first to recognize the essence of the Putin regime and try to show it to the world. www.lemonde.fr/en/internati...

In Denmark, all sanitary drainage stacks are single stacks. In fact, there is no Danish technical term to differentiate the single stack from stacks with individually vented fixtures because it’s been standard practice for over 100 years. It’s just called a “stack” (stående ledninger).

I know HK is associated with the iconic traffic cones, but think there’s some danger here of thinking it’s *the* thing to do. Even our frontliners a few months in were going ‘this is inefficient and dumb’

That's also why a lot of countries have research labs that work with plague. It's a disease that people still get semi-regularly. And it's hanging out in the environment, so it's good to figure out details of how that microbe works & how it spreads.

ICE took two more people from my local courthouse today. The wife of one of the guys who was taken showed up shortly after. She just had surgery. She was worried about paying rent and feeding her kids. This is happening *every day* in Massachusetts. Lives are being destroyed every single day.

For some people this means they lost their ability to file due to the green card backlogs announced on Tues that took place yesterday. USCIS continues to delay, deny, and otherwise mess up what should be easy tasks to detriment of US employers, immigrants & their families with no accountability.

I’ve resisted calling ICE arrests/detention “disappearances.” But now ICE’s apparent policy is that in some cases, you might not even know if your loved one is still in the US. IDK what else to call that. documentedny.com/2026/10/02/i...

As a non-citizen I’m here to tell you: of course I don’t vote. I just encourage other people to do so, by reminding them or having a yard sign or donating to a campaign or &c &c, which are all perfectly legal for permanent residents, unlike voting, which would get me in trouble—for one measly vote.

What's happening in Oleshky looks like the Holodomor on a smaller scale. If you scale it up to all of Ukraine, this is going to be something like 3-4 million dead, similar to the 1930s. More weapons for Ukraine with fewer restraints, and more suppression of Putinist parties and organizations.
