Men doing this whole “I will vanquish continents for my children” LARP is so goofy in the context of household surveys. It’s nice you’ll kill millions for your daughter, maybe we can start at doing a load of laundry for your wife who does the vast majority of household labor?

Sorry, I don't think you appreciate how profoundly f*cked it is to look up who has been chirping about buried American military nuclear waste in Canada and again see you're the only one. I'm not bragging, it's disturbing, crazy-making.
🇨🇦🤝🇺🇸 Is 2026 the year that a Canadian mainstream news outlet covers the nuclear waste the Americans buried at the former Goose Air Base, now CFB Goose Bay, and the Canadian Armed Forces won't talk about, out of fear they'll upset our dear neigbour? Stay tuned. ☢️

Settle a debate for me. I maintain that Nachos are pasta. @ndgree.bsky.social thinks they’re pizza.

The Lord of The Rings movies were rated PG-13. By current rules that means that each film could contain one use of the word "Fuck". Which line are you altering to insert the most useful swear word?

NYT provides no evidence here, probably because the claim is flatly untrue. See eg recent Pew data, or many posts on the subject from @gelliottmorris.com this year

JFC people I KNOW the post office has been forced to stop accepting govt money and be self supporting. The point is, IT SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN. It should not be expected to turn a profit or break even! It is constitutionally a government service! You have not discovered a gotcha!! Stop snottily QTing!
It’s not “losing money” any more than air traffic controllers or public highways or street lights or fire departments are “losing money.” It is a government service. It’s not SUPPOSED to make money. It’s supposed to reliably deliver to anywhere in the US, even the unprofitable places.
The USPS faces a tight squeeze. With fewer people using the mail, it’s lost more and more money: $9 billion in the 12 months ending in September alone.

Cuntery Afoot is the name of my social media tribute band
to be very honest: I believe that Lots of Aggressive Assholes is the inherent zen nature of public social media in 2025, and if you find this intolerable - which I totally understand - you should be hanging out in Discord and group chats instead.
While I believe being knee-jerk nasty to people on either side of AI discourse is dumb, you will not convince me AI proponents have seen *cruel and unusual* online pushback so far.
In that people online have been calling ME a knife-missile-baby-killer due to my work with civilian drones since 2013.

there used to be a place like this in the downtown eastside. the funding was cut and it closed. dignity isn’t a line item on a budget; it’s beyond any price
For an entire community of my down-and-out neighbors, this hygiene center is the only place to take a shower, wash clothes, repair a bike, or get a sweater, blanket, or hot meal…while also enjoying a little bit of community.

Listened to Brent on the latest urbanist agenda pod and really liked his "it's just geometry" argument about getting cars off of roads. This is a good visualisation of that:
What does it take to move 1000 people? Smart infrastructure supporting choices that don’t take up so much space (or produce so much emissions/pollution, cost so much public money etc).
Mobility in cities is about space.

A reminder for when you're out in the cold doing your Christmas shopping, Starbucks is an anti-worker union-busting company. Get your coffee or hot chocolate elsewhere.
BREAKING: Police have been called on striking Starbucks baristas who were peacefully protesting, both in PA and NV.
It seems Starbucks would rather see their own workers arrested rather than listen to their concerns in good-faith.
Shame on Starbucks!
