If you're going to argue that major prizes are "deforming and hollowing out literary culture" because of the demographics and chosen topics of the winners, you need to go ahead and name exactly which books wrongly beat which books

In fact if there's one political message that should reach everyone on Bluesky, the website for Democratic politics obsessives afraid to leave their own house, it's that you should vote in person this year.

This is a powerful statistic in a Boston Globe editorial about the dangers posed by large trucks in cities. There are many possible solutions: Redesigning trucks, limiting them in some areas, and using smaller vehicles such as cargo bikes for last-mile delivery. www.bostonglobe.com/2026/08/09/o...
Only 2.6 percent of registered vehicles in Massachusetts are trucks, but they account for 28 percent of cycling fatalities and 5 percent of pedestrian deaths on the road.

“If you are pedestrian or bike rider on the street, the number one danger to you at all times is trucks,” said Alexa Sledge, senior director of strategy with Transportation Alternatives, an organization that promotes better walking, biking, and public transit in New York City.

Taylor Farms shredded lettuce is apparently the source of the parasite outbreak. Taco Bell, McDonald’s, Chipotle, KFC and probably others use their products.

ELIZABETH WARREN calls on Platner to drop out: “There can be no tolerance for sexual assault… With so much at stake, the best path forward is for Graham Platner to step aside as the Democratic nominee and address these serious allegations outside this Senate race.”

This is the aftermath of an ICE kidnapping a few blocks from my home in St. Paul—an hour ago. A quiet street full of broken glass and at least three wrecked cars. The target of the kidnapping was taken away by ambulance. He was on a stretcher and covered by a sheet, though a cop said he was alive.

once again these things boil down to “is your group a bohemian cultural identity” or “is your group actually trying to do things?” and the key tell is whether your activity centers on policing of in-group behavior or whether it centers on, again, tangible goals

Democrats are eventually going to wind up at some consensus around attacking corruption, empowering public finance, encouraging competition/price wars, and removing barriers to rapid and pro-social forms of construction. But there’s going to be a lot of shvitzing along the way.

No one should be above the law, most especially the President. Ignoring a Supreme Court ruling to facilitate Kilmar Abrego Garcia's return isn't just cruel; it's unconstitutional. They're saying the quiet part aloud — if they get away with it now, they'll do it to anyone.

It is preposterous for the Trump Administration to say it is powerless to bring back someone who they wrongfully deported. The Supreme Court unanimously ordered the administration to facilitate his release. The administration must act now.

Signs of spring, ranked.
A six-panel comic called Signs of Spring, Ranked. In panel 1, #10 is Robin - not always a useful sign since robins are quietly present in winter in many areas. In panel 2, there's #9: Daffodil - nice, mundane, #8: Skunk Cabbage - unusual, cool, and #7: Dutchman's Breeches - lol. In panel 3, there's #6: Turkey vulture migrating - gloriously ominous, a humbling reminder of life's transience, and #5: very very small bunny - wow, the little ears. In panel 4 there's #4: Snake sunbathing, with a gartersnake warming itself - underappreciated, looks cozy, and #3: Woodcock going peent - the perfect sound. In panel 5 there's #2: small frogs yelling as loud as they can, with a wood frog floating in a pool inflating itself to make a loud quack - they crave love, or at least they crave the external fertilization of 1500 gelatinous eggs. In panel 6, there's #1, Even smaller frogs yelling, with a spring peeper sitting on the ground making loud calls - yes, YES.
