Anyone who is excited to witness an execution is just telling on themselves about what kind of person they are.

Hard to remember their last major independent story. It’s so sad seeing all their “breaking news” being poor rewrites of unvetted police reports.

No, Hartford Courant, you can't ragebait me into reading another Stacom article, even if it implies an apartment developer assimilating Bloomfield like the Borg. #Nutmegsky #CTYimby

"De-Trumpification" has to be one of the top agenda items if Dems win power. All the lawlessness and every last one of his efforts to turn DC into an imperial capital should be undone.

good times at UConn, where we are heading into arbitration because the university refuses to pay negotiated, earned faculty raises on time. @uconnaaup.bsky.social
Salary and Merit Pay Arbitration:
Two out of thirty-four state employee's unions have not received their negotiated increase in salaries and merit pay for FY 27 - UConn-AAUP is one of them.
Your union has filed for arbitration on this lack of payment on the August 23, 2026, and is asking for interest on the money that should be in your pocket,
not in the university's investment accounts. Your union will inform you as soon as an arbitration date is scheduled.

I'm really worried there will be deaths this winter due to elderly folks not being able to afford heating oil, and keeping their heat too low (or off).

Not an exaggeration to say when authoritarian thugs distort scientific research toward their own petty or prejudiced tastes, economies suffer, national security is compromised, people die. Exact proportion of each of those consequences varies from one authoritarian state to another, but all happen

Diamantis sounds pretty confident Greece won't extradite him but a quick google search indicates Greece only withholds extradition if the person was a Greek citizen at the time of their crimes. That's not the case with Diamantis, who apparently only became a Greek citizen March 2025.

Judging by his recent politics (giving Trump more power to impose tariffs, funding the Israeli war machine, etc.), one'd think he wasn't worried about offending his solid blue base back home.

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.
