It’s got the words, so I need to post again. I cannot love this any more!
Bad Bunny’s closing messages during his Super Bowl performance:
“The only thing more powerful than hate is love”
“Together, we are America”

The linemen piece caught my attention immediately. My local municipal utility responded to mutual aid and we had people there for 6 months, helping restore where possible, but also redesign at least part of the grid.
If you didn’t catch the significance of the exploding transformers in Bad Bunny’s halftime show, I gotcha. Here’s one of a bunch of pieces I wrote from/on Puerto Rico about the crisis—and Trump’s role in it. slate.com/news-and-pol...

More than half the drugs on the TrumpRx site have a cheaper generic version on the market.
Pristiq, an antidepressant, is available with a TrumpRx coupon for ~$200 for a 30-day supply.
A generic version is on GoodRx for less than $30 and Mark Cuban's CostPlusDrugs for $16.65.

VERY powerful article on what @jbf1755.bsky.social called “the murder of the Washington Post” but this time by one of the tech billionaires who seemingly lost interest when the press didn’t roll in profits like tech does…as they murder our ability to learn about the world we live in.

Wow! Congrats to the VW workers! This is #thePowerOfUS
In the historically anti-union South, the UAW just secured a landmark contract with Volkswagen.
The workers won major wage increases, job security against outsourcing, and higher-quality healthcare.
Congratulations to these workers, and remember: there is always hope in labor.

Today is the 32nd anniversary of Byron De La Beckwith’s Feb. 5, 1994 conviction for murdering Medgar Evers in 1963. I’m sure it’s just a coincidence that this news broke today.
That racist POS—who bragged about killing Evers at Klan meetings and rallies—died in prison in 2001.

Alabama's maternal health stats are akin to those of Venezuela or Colombia. California's stats are closer to those of Sweden or The Netherlands. And this reflects sharply on quality of life.
Alabama has the worst maternal mortality in the United States at 60 deaths per 100K live births. For reference, California has 18 deaths per 100K live births.
But Dr. Oz thinks it’s “cool” that American citizens do not have access to good reproductive healthcare in the wealthiest nation in history.

Interesting history on how the Supreme Court operated over the history of the US
The idea that the Court should operate entirely in secret is a modern phenomenon. The idea that the Court should be separated from the public is a modern phenomenon. Earlier generations did not accept a powerful, isolated & secretive Court and we shouldn't either 1/6
