Every morning the cats follow Ryan downstairs in a little pied piper line because they know his first order of business is to give them treats.
Little tails lifted and prancing after him, it’s adorable.

Did I ever share this from our NYC atlas with you? "What Is a Jew? From Emma Goldman to Goldman Sachs," a map whose specificities breaks down the idea of a homogenous population so useful to antisemitism. Ruth Bader Ginsberg to Bernie Madoff to Rose Schneiderman to the Beastie Boys.

I have a book chapter I wrote about this!!

More specifically, it's about how tools like web templates help conspiracists move away from traditional visual markers such as wild color templates and mismatched fonts.

Of course LLMs are making it worse.

The moves come after a $60 million lobbying blitz from the chemical industry.

This is why you always follow the money.

The EPA has approved two new pesticides with "forever chemicals" that will be used on food.

The agency has also announced plans for four additional approvals.

The approved pesticides will be used on vegetables such as romaine lettuce, broccoli and potatoes.

This is a 52-pound 9000+ page accordion-bound artist’s book of Donald Trump’s lies, conceived, printed, and bound by Jill and Ray Nichols of @leadgraffiti.bsky.social in Delaware. Each of the 9000 pages has the text (per the Washington Post) of one or more of Trump’s lies; none are repeated.

Have you played, "Guess the minimum parking requirement for an elementary school"?

This game looks like so much fun! 😀
parking mandates are ridiculous, continued:

it looks like no city in Illinois can agree on the best way to calculate how much parking an elementary school should provide

Jane made this list showing 20 municipalities with 20 different parking mandate methods
