I'm convinced AI is our generation's radium - a discovery with genuinely useful applications in specific, controlled circumstances that we stupidly put in everything from kid's toys to toothpaste until we realised the harm far too late where future generations will ask if we were out of our minds.

Best TikTok thing going is the two dudes trying food from every country without leaving NYC. If you haven’t seen them yet, it’s incredible. My favorite so far is last week’s. Legit got me emotional.

The permitting reform “debate” is a sterling example of some misguided liberals inventing a reasonable conservative position to engage with that simply isn’t held by any conservatives with the power to implement it.

I know, I know, tons of folks grew up in suburbs so have come to believe "that's just what people want." Fish/water etc.
But we really, actually outlawed urban growth in the ~ 1960s thru '80s and mandated suburbanization.
that is not the same as "what people want." It is "all that's on offer."

perhaps instead of cowering under a blanket labeled "health care," democrats should respond and advance on the issues that move people. this, of course, would require a foundation of conviction and principle, which may be asking too much of the party's leadership and strategists.

When e-bike/e-scooter rentals descended upon cities, politicians argued for speed governors on safety grounds, and in a number of cases forced companies to install them. That may have been the right call! But it highlights the obvious absurdity of allowing cars in cities without them.
My least popular (and most correct) view is that cars should be automatically limited to the local speed limit. Put the pedal to the floor and you still can't go over 25mph in a residential area.
(15 in Manhattan btw)

There is no possible justification for limiting e-bikes to 15mph but not cars.

Trump is trying to kill the US climate effort. It was already in trouble.
Court rulings and the two Trump administrations have repeatedly derailed regulators' attempts to forestall rising temperatures, while scientists' warnings grow more dire.

Once again thinking about how the great untold story of our age is the nexus of PR professionals and conservative activists and how and why some people are able to consistently get sympathetic stories into the newspaper and others aren't bsky.app/profile/ajba...
I have to see those nasty little child beating natalist weirdos every two months and their big convention had like 200 people total
I think there's a lot of truth to this but it's also really important to observe that right wing protests do not have this problem. Even very small groups of right wing activists get widespread press attention (because the press likes Republicans and wants to help them)

The 2-3 cops on regular traffic patrol are nailing this stuff, but yes, this is as blatant as brandishing a pistol in a crowd. Anyone who does this should be treated as a homicidal maniac.

Good. This isn't rhetoric or hyperbole: On the current trajectory there is simply no way the United States survives a full Trump term as any kind of recognizable liberal democracy. Thinking about how to beat him in 2028 is a waste of time; it will be too late by then.
It seems clear we are seeing the beginnings of a sustained mass protest movement to oust Trump.
