Whistling when ICE is about to kidnap someone for no reason is incredibly effective. They know what they are doing is wrong and will scatter in the wind when too many witnesses gather.

It'd be a shame if people decided to cancel their subscriptions to @theatlantic.com and boycott them over this. A real shame. Without the subscription money Sally Jenkins and others wouldn't be able to live out their dream of making Nazis and others hoping for the mass death of Americans look good.

Ratio me. Please. It's a badge of honor. If you don't like a link, go follow some chicken-heart who needs the approval of the thought-police. Caitlin Flanagan of @theatlantic.com is a tremendous writer and this piece is an excellent read. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Hi Sally. When Weiss published a supposed expose on the death of George Floyd, a veteran criminal justice reporter showed in deep detail that the piece was not just wrong but filled with falsehoods and misrepresentations. Weiss did not retract the piece. What do you think of that?

Sally Jenkins @sallyjenx.bsky.social · 7h

This is really smart. Amazed at the hysteria over the ascendance of a woman entrepreneur who clearly knows how to cover and sell news and who's not afraid to take on a mob. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

And it's shit like this why readers are abandoning your outlet and others like it in droves. We're not interested in reading the opinions of fascist bootlickers wishing to give respectability to complete and utter monsters.

If a driver sped into him a helmet would not remotely be a factor from the sheer force involved and the fact that cyclists still have to constantly hear this question is infuriating.

Have to admit, "Disney loses $100 million on a Tron movie whose existence as IP can be partially traced back to a Kingdom Hearts level from the mid 2000s" is honestly way funnier than it has any right to be.

Her brain is cooked enough to make "stopping faster buses used by working class New Yorkers on the most obnoxiously wealthy street in Manhattan" the hill to die on.

Liam Jeffries @sorathecyclist.bsky.social · 1d

Thing that makes this even funnier is the bus she's using to make faster buses a gentrification issue is the one that's slowed down by the ultra-wealthy in cars on 57th St. The people using the M57 are long term residents on West End Av and students and workers transferring to it from the subway

TIL that making the buses faster is “ruining the city”

Not exaggerating when I say that SB 79, a bill making it easier to build housing near mass transit, is the most consequential piece of legislation that the Democratic Party has passed all year. Saying no to the worst people in our coalition proves we're serious about the future.

No better evidence that KPop Demon Hunters has become transcendent media than the Dodgers organist using I think Golden for a "Let's Go Dodgers!" chant buildup.

I just can't get over the differences in scale between Ballard Link's Westlake Station as proposed and the original Westlake Station, off to the left.

Ballard Link's Westlake has two separate entrances underneath separate buildings, with one showing a long tunnel to get to the train guideway. They are at least five stories deeper than the original Westlake, which is tiny and only around 10-15% of the size
