El-Sayed: "I was a junior in HS on 9/11, sitting in my chemistry class. I watched as people started to point to people of my faith & say exactly the kinds of things that Rogers was saying. If that's his entire campaign strategy, you have to imagine how small minded he thinks Michiganders are."

this was difficult to read, but it's important to know people are currently in prison for 50+ years for attending a protest + one wasn't even at the protest, but got sentenced for 30 years for "concealing" anarchist zines

The idea that the majority of people who want permanent DST can't have it because timezones and school start times are concrete and unchangeable is so fucking stupid. Just fix the time zones.

The idea that we have to switch clocks because everyone is unwilling to just say "school starts at 9 in the winter instead of 8" is so fucking weird.

I agree with this. "This is your brain on drugs." was a proto-meme for my entire childhood but it's basically an artifact of the past now. "I learned it by watching you" endures.

The issue would be distribution. We're not setup to deliver southern US produced diesel to New England (which gets it mainly from canada atm). There is no path toward making that route work in the short term.

Also, I think many people have a completely screwed up idea of what intelligence is, which, when combined with the fact that AI is supposed to have enormous intelligence, creates … problems. Consider how many people, when thinking about animals, confuse intelligence with tractability.

They hate the Bill of Rights because freedom is a threat to people in government who want to hide the truth about what they are doing from the American people. So they behave like tyrants because that is what they are. Vote this party out of power.

More people are out of work now than they were before Trump took office in 2025. And families are being crushed by rising costs due to Trump's reckless tariffs, illegal Iran war, and irresponsible fiscal policies. Secretary Scott Bessent has no one to blame but himself & Donald Trump.

If your algorithmic control of post order based on engagement isn't enough control, you add a secondary algorithm to limit engagement directly.

Four Somerville households lost their homes in Tuesday's fire on Dartmouth Street. Everyone is safe, but they're starting over with nothing. Clothes, medicine, groceries, a place to sleep. Give what you can to the Homeless Coalition's Emergency Fund: secure.qgiv.com/for/emerfun

A statistic that haunts me because it is 100% true and shocking and useless in advocacy precisely because it is true and shocking: Policy that enables a 1-car lifestyle rather than 2 is equivalent to giving a family a $25,000 annual pay raise.
