If we attach a turbine, they can power millions of homes

David Simon, the writer behind The Wire and The Deuce (and a former journalist for the Baltimore Sun), finds only the blackest humor in Weiss's ascent to the top of the news heap. When asked for his perspective, Simon replied via email, "Murrow and Cronkite have both interrupted their peaceful mouldering, and are now revolving at such speeds that never mind the affront to televised journalism
—we need to consider the geologic risks to us all."

Readimasks (certified N95s that use adhesive instead of straps) are 75% off w/code NONSMOKINGZONE.

They’re MRI-safe (nice because if you need an MRI, you prob really don’t also want Covid) and also handy for things like haircuts. Not my everyday mask but super to have around for those situations!

ReadiMask® The Only Strapless N95 Respirator - Alliant Biotech

ReadiMask N95s protect against bacteria, viruses, debris, pollution, smoke, and diseases like colds, flus, Coronavirus.

Please be conscious if you protest this weekend that there are feds at the protest. They look like you and they sound like you, not like Steve Buscemi in that one clip with the skateboard. Thinking you can spot them is self delusion. Nobody you haven’t met needs to know your last name.

"People were actually making use of their rights, which is why we need to abolish them."

Like, not even hiding it.

Always remember: The state, the ruling class, they cannot grant rights at all. At best, they hand out privileges.

You HAVE rights - and must make them remember that fact.

Dave Byrnes @djbyrnes1.bsky.social · 6d

Broadview Mayor Katrina Thompson's full statement, in which she says she will sign an EO permitting protest "only at the safety zone located at the ICE facility on Beach Street," is up on the village's website.

"There are too many protesters abusing their right to protest," Thompson says.

The Atlantic, the NYT, and so many others also participated in the destruction of public health by repeatedly publishing the lie that COVID is mild, and now an organ- and immune-system damaging airborne virus is running rampant everywhere—w/ no infection control anywhere.

Great work everyone.

David Roberts @volts.wtf · 10d

The Atlantic, the NYT, the Post, the Free Press, Persuasion ... god, so many others ... they did it. They participated in the destruction of norms against bigotry & now bigotry is running rampant, out in the open, at the highest levels.

Great work everyone.

The COVID-19 pandemic should have shown us that we’re supposed to rise to the occasion by meeting needs, not fall in line behind fascist incursions, @williamcson.bsky.social writes in “Another way out.” If we cannot interrupt what’s unfolding before us, then we risk it becoming a disturbing norm.

the post office is a public service. it doesn’t need to make money. public transit doesn’t need to make money. the library doesn’t need to make money. some things exist for the public good and we desperately need lawmakers to stop thinking about them in terms of capitalism. these are not businesses.
