At a comedy show, Mahmoud Khalil told Zohran Mamdani, “I am excited about the possibility of raising my son in a city where you are mayor.” It was a stunning moment, Hanif Abdurraqib writes.

It would be helpful if more people understood renewable energy is actually an extremely disruptive technology and the reason monied interests are trying to make folks hate it is that they are the ones which will be disrupted.

Dumb question but why does USDOT have the power to stop congestion pricing? Were federal funds used to implement it?

Great article on how those of us in the geospatial community approach time-series analysis! #gischat

Time for a change
Time should be a first-class citizen in geospatial. In many ways, measuring change might always have been geospatial's killer app. But are we giving time enough structured attention?

“The administration might have changed since then. But the government is still bound by its debts and obligations,” writes @robinsonmeyer.bsky.social. Trump is about to start violating dozens of federal contracts. That matters for his energy spending freeze.

Today I replaced a plug on an extension cord and removed some melted cord from a power strip (someone left it too close to a wood stove) and re-soldered the wire into place and lemme tell ya! Fixing shit instead of throwing it out feels good as hell!! #repaireconomy #repairnotreplace

ProPublica @propublica.org · 08/02/2025
When cities clear homeless encampments, workers often take people’s belongings — including important documents, survival gear and irreplaceable mementos. Over and over, people across the U.S. told ProPublica they were devastated by such losses: propub.li/3WScD3g
A notecard with the prompt, "What is something that was important to you that was taken in a sweep? How did it impact you?" The handwritten statement below says, "My momma’s ashes were displayed on my table in my tent. I came back one day — and EVERYTHING was gone, including her ashes. They were clearly labled 'In loving memory — my mom, my best friend…' and her name. Her ashes were all that I had left of her. No one stored my stuff. I called tons of places and NO ONE knew anything. It is very difficult for me still, everyday. No warning, no remorse, nothing."

the OTHER thing about the white house’s anti-diversity push is that like old fashioned segregation it is explicitly an effort to undermine unions! like c’mon! don’t be stupid!

So Trump delays tariffs on Canada and Mexico at the last minute, after the stock market and Canadian dollar tanked. Now if they rebound, anyone who had “bought the dip,” perhaps (let’s just imagine), because they knew this was going to happen, would end up with a lot more money. Interesting.

The internet should be a place for learning, connection, and sharing. Instead, it has been swallowed up (almost) entirely by autocratic capital - which, as it turns out, makes for a really shitty internet! We need #digitalsovereignty and an end to corporate control of our online spaces

While the tariffs on Canada and Mexico are set to be horrendous for many reasons, here in upstate NY we rely on hydropower from Québec for a significant portion of our electricity, so New Yorkers could end up paying $290 MILLION more for energy annually if these plans go through 😭🤬
