A medicine that my kid needs went from $90 to $350. We are extremely fortunate enough to be able to pay for it, but I know so many families are not. Medicine shouldn’t be a luxury. Our country is broken.

the war is unpopular but it's also illegal but it also doesn't serve any purpose but it also undermines diplomacy but it also is set to produce the opposite outcome as intended but it also already has hundreds dead and threatens more but it also will not make anything better for anyone but it also

4 corporations. $315B in profits. Just 4.9% in federal taxes. Tesla paid $0. With Trump’s billionaire tax cuts Amazon, Alphabet, Meta & Tesla got $51B in cuts in ONE year. At the original 35% rate, they’d owe ~$110B. Free public college costs ~$75B. 45M students drown in debt so 4 corps cash in 🇺🇸

Jeffrey Bezos is destroying the Washington Post for the same reason Musk destroyed Twitter and Ellison is destroying CBS—oligarchs oppose the free press when if it threatens their wealth and power. They don’t want normal people to see what is happening in America.

Córy Doctorow with another verbal bullseye: pluralistic.net/2026/01/13/n...

I'm sorry. As a technology writer, I'm supposed to be telling you that this bet will some day pay off, because one day we will have shoveled so many words into the word-guessing program that it wakes up and learns how to actually do the jobs it is failing spectacularly at today. This is a proposition akin to the idea that if we keep breeding horses to run faster and faster, one of them will give birth to a locomotive. Humans possess intelligence, and machines do not. The difference between a human and a word-guessing program isn't how many words the human knows.

I'm sorry. I know that when we talk about "digital sovereignty," we're obliged to talk about how we can build more data-centres that we can fill up with money-losing chips from American silicon monopolists in the hopes of destroying as many jobs as possible while blowing through our clean energy goals and enshittifying as much of our potable water as possible.

Senate Democrats absolutely have to shut the govt down to stop this ICE insanity in the Twin Cities. This is not sustainable & cannot be normalized. Any Democratic vote to provide money to the thugs who are brutalizing this community is a grave betrayal to the people here. Accountability can't wait.

Makes me recall a clip I saw of Joe Rogan enthusiastically forcing an musician to listen to genAI music he'd prompted as he heaped praise on the model that had generated it. The musician responded, "What about AI podcasts? They have those, now." No prizes for guessing how Joe reacted.

Excellent point here from an expert in international relations. Trump’s brand of authoritarianism is, at its core, an aesthetic. He does not seek to achieve policy goals—he seeks a global reputation for appearing powerful.

Don't forget folks: allowing yourself a vision of the future you'd want for our country and planet - not the one you'd settle for, not the one you fear, but the future of your dreams - isn't naive, it's a vital cognitive skill. That's how we articulate what we most value. What's worth fighting for.

A career highlight in the midst of a personally difficult year was being featured in @archdigest.bsky.social’s Open Door series. These shots by Jenna Peffley are from the accompanying article. One of the best parts of design is working with craftspeople to bring one-of-kind visions to life

A white bathtub sits in a log cabin bedroom. Tapestry inspired wallpaper in bright chartreuse, hot pink, burnt orange, and teal trees covers the walls. An antique wardrobe with detailed marquetry and an orange, purple, and blue Persian rug are also in the room.

A mahogany island with apothecary drawers and a green and pink quartzite top sits in the middle of a log cabin kitchen. It is covered in containers of fruit and vegetables. 3 stools sit in front of it. A Stained-glass window is above a green quartzite backsplash. The hood surround is a mahogany art nouveau style wood appliqué. The cabinets are cream.

🚨NEW: For the first time in history, the single largest group of people arrested in the interior and sent to ICE detention is people with NO criminal record. As of yesterday's data release, 40%(!) of those arrested in the interior and detained by ICE had no prior conviction or pending charges.

Chart shows Detention Population, Among Those Arrested by ICE in the Interior, by Criminal Record. The chart shows three lines; Prior conviction, pending criminal charges, and no criminal record. From 2019 through September 2025, the largest group is people with criminal convictions, with much further down people with pending charges. But starting in January, those without criminal records spikes dramatically. In July it crossed pending charges and in the latest data it jumps above criminal convictions.
