As Measles cases hit a 35 year high, as a senseless war rages on with no exit plan, as gas climbs to record highs, and the Epstein files remain secret, the U.S. Senate is holding a hearing today to yell at Dr. Fauci and again push horse dewormer on the American public.

🎃Autopsy of Ashley Lynch 🔪🎞️ @ashleylynch.bsky.social · 28/07/2026
We've been in the ripping-the-copper-wiring-out-of-the-walls era of society for awhile now. There's no attempts to make anything better. There's no attempts to make anything people want. It's just syphoning gas out of cars and burying people in gambling debt from rigged betting markets.

My explanation of how climate change is amplifying these wildfires ended up entirely on the @npr.org cutting room floor. Instead they included an extremely misleading of the supposed role of fire suppression and human alteration (expertly debunked here: www.theclimatebrink.com/p/canadas-bo... )

Here’s How Maryland and Virginia Residents Can Plug Into Newly-Legal Balcony Solar Power
Retailing for as little as a few hundred dollars, the systems can reduce your energy bill by up to 25 percent.

Hey @chicagotribune.com Editorial Board: Why did you describe me as a “bomb-throwing influencer”? This is wrong, inflammatory, and racist. Change it. www.chicagotribune.com/2026/07/05/e...
So far, the Democratic Socialists of America's success has been confined in large part to deep-blue city districts. Meanwhile, in suburban areas and in statewide contests establishment Democrats generally are winning against progressive challengers. Chicago saw its own version of this dynamic in March in the hotly contested and crowded race to succeed retiring Rep. Jan Schakowsky in the 9th Congressional District. The bomb-throwing influencer Kat Abughazaleh, 27, won the portions of that district in Chicago's North Side lakefront neighborhoods, but suburban votes gave savvy
Evanston Mayor Daniel Biss the win.

For years we've been told families 'need' cars. A UK e-cargo bike trial found over half of participant e-bike trips replaced car trips, mostly school runs, shopping & commuting. 1 in 5 went on to buy an e-cargo bike. Give people practical alternatives & a surprising number reduce their car use 🧵 1/

Trial shows e-cargo bikes can replace cars
A major trial of e-cargo bikes which saw dozens of families use them for shopping, leisure and commuting shows they have the potential to reduce car use and improve health, say researchers.

The Dutch mobility system isn't just built around cycling. It's built around bike-train intermodality: cycling solves the train's convenience problem and the train solves cycling's range problem. Together, they offer an attractive alternative to driving on a mass scale. WATCH: youtu.be/jq93DgLvmFc

The strait is not open, every country dependent on oil (basically everyone not named France) is gobbling through their reserves and the only thing bailing us out of an economic catastrophe at the moment is that China's reserves appear to have been far larger than thought. This is not tenable.

A court in Munich declared that Google is liable for their "AI summaries" and all its hallucinations. This brings "AI" slop in line with all other products: "AI" is basically the only product where a provider can deliver unchecked garbage and put all liability on the consumer.

Landmark German ruling declares Google's AI Overviews are Google's own words and makes it liable for false answers
A German regional court has ruled that Google is directly liable for the content of its AI search overviews. According to the court, previous limited liability protections for search engine operators don't apply to AI overviews. In this case, Google's AI had falsely linked two publishers to fraud and made claims that didn't appear in any of the linked sources. The ruling could set a precedent for AI-generated content liability worldwide.

There is something brutally psychically injurious to being constantly told "just do good work and you'll be successful" while watching people who do the most dogshit work possible do all the succeeding.

"RAV4 Prime drivers plug their cars in on seven out of 10 driving days, with Lexus NX owners plugging in more frequently, between eight and nine times out of 10 driving days. They say that only 9 percent of Toyota PHEV drivers and 4 percent of Lexus PHEV drivers “rarely” plug in."

Plug-in hybrids get plugged in more than you might think
Toyota is the latest automaker to report PHEV charging stats, and they're encouraging.

I know it gets talked about a lot, but the impact of the #Beltline on #Atlanta is tremendous. I took this picture at Irwin Street in 2012 or so, and here's the streetview from 2024. #urbanism #walkability
Abandoned rail tracks embedded into the road, crossing the street toward an unpaved path. An orange arch art installation is above the trail. Screenshot of Google street view showing a paved path lined with new buildings. People are walking and there are scooters.

I once asked an IT VP why the university was outsourcing projects that we could do in-house and he said "you might want to consider that if the project goes bad, the consultant takes the blame." This is a post about management enthusiasm for AI.

EZPass payment system down for two days but support says they won't push back the due date as a result. They fired all the toll takers so you're required to pay online via toll-by-plate. Just complete but unsurprising incompetence for a state-sanctioned monopoly that sometimes can't be avoided.

Plaque with text:  Here, at the Nittany Lion Inn, on April 20, 1952, more than 100 leaders in education, broadcasting and government gathered to accept a challenge from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to begin a non-commercial educational television service. The Honorable Paul S. Walker, then chairman of the FCC, announced that in response to petitions from educators, television channels had been set aside for educational uses. Plans then were made here at Penn State that led to national educational television broadcasting and later the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS), including Penn State's own station, WPSX-TV, Channel 3.

there’s a funny paradox to me in creative work which i call “the horse shaped box.” basically: lead wants to give IC a space to work within, with constraints. but the constraints are extremely specific; “you can put anything you brainstorm into this box!” but the box is shaped exactly like a horse
