As Canada is learning (the hard way), the "art" of all of Trump's deals can be summed up in a single word: "renege": pluralistic.net/2026/07/22/t... 1/

A Canadian flag, its elements replaced with circuit boards. In the foreground, a bent-double, exhausted Uncle Sam trudges over rocky terrain, shlepping a giant sack on his back. Centered in the maple leaf is the word SORRY.

Introduce yourself as what almost killed you. Hi, I'm a VW 412 that skidded out on wet grading on the old I-90 floating bridge (Seattle), slammed into the archway, and threw the 17 year old driver (👋) halfway out of the driver's side window.

Completely understand your timeline and reasons for it. Having said that, Hogan's Heroes enters the conversation. I've literally seen this symbol since I was a kid. We called it the Nazi death head.

I probably could have made myself clearer. Using the BG for things like commuting with or without kids is a great use of the trail. Using it for training, especially during peak usage, is unwise and potentially dangerous. If that's your goal, the wise move is to find an alternative.

PLayer @player64.bsky.social · 23/11/2025

Agreed. Adding on to this. Weekdays and winter days riding the BG there are few other users and it can be glorious. On the weekends and summer days, the nickname, Berserk Gilman, applies. If you want to ride unimpeded on summer days and weekends, take to the road.

Johnson’s refusal to seat Grijalva feels like a foreshadowing of this GOP plan to stay in power post-2026 regardless of the outcome of the election. This thread is about a well connected Oregon MAGA activist who just podcasted it out.

It really is amazing that when a popular young Democratic politician who wants to solve real problems for people beats an old-guard institutionalist Democrat in a primary, the institutionalist Democrat just stays in the race and basically runs as a Republican.

Republicans’ defunding of Planned Parenthood in their Big Bad Betrayal Bill is a cruel attack on reproductive care, cancer screenings, and more. But thanks to @governorferguson.bsky.social, Washington State will continue funding local Planned Parenthoods — and save lives.

My statement on Donald Trump's threat to deport me and his praise for Eric Adams, who the President "helped out" of legal accountability.

The President of the United States just threatened to have me arrested, stripped of my citizenship, put in a detention camp and deported. Not because I have broken any law but because I will refuse to let ICE terrorize our city.

His statements don’t just represent an attack on our democracy but an attempt to send a message to every New Yorker who refuses to hide in the shadows: if you speak up, they will come for you. We will not accept this intimidation.

That Trump included praise for Eric Adams in his authoritarian threats is unsurprising, but highlights the urgency of bringing an end to this Mayor’s time in City Hall. At the very moment when MAGA Republicans are attempting to destroy the social safety net, kick millions of New Yorkers off of healthcare and enrich their billionaire donors at the expense of working families, it is a scandal that Eric Adams echoes this President’s division, distraction and hate.

Voters will resoundingly reject it in November.

AOC: “It is absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment.”

The President's disastrous decision to bomb Iran without authorization is a grave violation of the Constitution and Congressional War Powers.
He has impulsively risked launching a war that may ensnare us for generations.
It is absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment.

Emptying a bin in the Netherlands. Having these large bins on residential streets ensures there is no "bin day", residents are free to put their rubbish out whenever they please, which leads to less litter in the street. A sensor tells the local authority when it's full, meaning fewer truck journeys
