For my ENG speaking followers Unprecedented High School blockades began in the outskirts of Paris in Créteil on the 21st of Sept. National mobilisations followed on the 29th of September, the 1st and the 6th of October. The movement is ongoing and has spread both in scope and scale. #tippingpoint

Hey, I’m just asking questions. Ignorant questions, bigoted questions, questions that have been repeatedly answered for many years. Sorry, but I’m not listening to answers right now; I’m far too busy asking questions. It’s called being intellectually curious.

The Facial Expressions of Tethys by artist Julius von Bismarck. A suspended high-sea buoy that moves in real time. Sensors on a twin buoy out in the Atlantic Ocean send live satellite data to motors inside the museum. This makes the indoor buoy copy the exact, real-time movements of the ocean waves.

Walmart spent $43.4B on stock buybacks from 2019 to 2025, enough to give each of its 2.1M workers annual bonuses of $2,953. Last year, retiring CEO Doug McMillon pocketed $29.2M — his largest payday ever and 958x Walmart's median worker pay of $30,520. Textbook corporate greed.

like many things, this oversimplifies the question. "should I put on a helmet to toodle over to the ball game" is very different from "should I wear a helmet while I go for a 25 mile ride where I could be going 25 mph down a hill" (not a poke at mtsw, who understands the issue)

That's not how executive orders work and that's not how naming things work and this isn't how political reporting should work either. This event should be covered, yes, but as another sign of the president's steady descent into complete ineffectiveness and utter insanity.

I think "many commentors" is a reasonable way to describe pundits and journalists who explicitly or implicitly advanced the narrative that Trump and his project had become durably popular. We have to internalize that anyone who's in that category is stupid and should be ignored from now on.

With footnotes and citations to make bigotry seem credible,

Like human races being real and IQ is inherited!

My gender ideology is thuggery and piggery,

If criticized it’s academic freedom I will hide behind,
My high and mighty principles shan’t be questioned by your tiny mind!

It’s worse than this. Having been in the room with many of them (long ago, before I knew they were psychopaths), the tycoons who are left running the industry have an active contempt for ordinary people, including their own workers. They actively want to oppress, control and punish them.

Free & accessible child care doesn’t just make our city more affordable — it gives parents time to rest, recharge, or enjoy a night out.

The issue that sticks out to me isn't that permanent DST will make sunrise too late in places, it's that the time zone lines aren't lined up with the sun in winter. If they optimized for DST and shifted the timezones on the western edge, it wouldn't be so bad.

A color-coded map of the contiguous United States titled "LATEST SUNRISE (IF DST BECOMES PERMANENT)". Thick white lines divide the country into Pacific, Mountain, Central, and Eastern time zones. A legend on the left lists expected sunrise times corresponding to a color gradient, ranging from light pink (7:30 - 8 AM) to dark blue (10 AM or later). The map illustrates a repeating pattern across every time zone: the easternmost regions are shaded pink for earlier sunrises, smoothly transitioning to dark purple and blue toward the western edges of the time zones, indicating sunrises pushed as late as 9:30 AM to 10:00 AM.

The appropriate way to honor Lindsey Graham's memory would be for Lisa Murkowski, Thom Tillis, Susan Collins, Rand Paul, & 5 GOP Representatives to finally caucus with the Democrats to give them control of Congress & put an end to the lawless authoritarianism. Everything else is more free passes.
