It's genuinely a massive problem that the median voter both 1) believes "criminal illegal immigrants" to be an astronomically more serious threat than they actually are, and 2) believes that the legal immigration process is substantially easier than it actually is.

my neighborhood 7-11 closed a couple years ago and tried to reopen but couldn’t get the permit approved because there’s a preschool next door and 7-11s sell alcohol (the previous permit was grandfathered in). i saw a fence going up around the lot recently and looked up what was moving in: a gun shop

It's absolutely insane we've somehow let the Covid recriminations debate become like "why didn't we reopen in person schools before there was a vaccine" and not "why did none of the trump guys go to jail for stealing PPE from New York hospitals in March 2020"

I worked for New York’s largest medical center at the start of the pandemic. There were morgue trucks on the streets. They set up emergency medical tents in Central Park. Healthcare worker colleagues died. It is horrific that RFK Jr is on national TV lying that ICUs were empty.

In happier news, it turns out that blueberries grown beneath solar panels turn out sweeter! 🫐 (via @billmckibben.bsky.social)

I'm not sure folks have realized just how crazy the second half of 2026 and 2027 will be for global temperatures – on the back of a record-smashing El Niño event. Here is my latest estimate of where both years will end up compared to global temperatures since 1850.

It ain't great that the AfD is at 28%, for example, but that's a hell of a lot better than the far right party capturing the entire legislative, executive, and judicial branches.

Another day of tapping the sign & begging folks to just read a bit about literally any other PR/parliamentary system than 🇬🇧 or 🇮🇱. As for the "🇬🇧 is just as bad" argument, I really don't know what to tell you. Look around, I guess.

Your mom has a *second*home worth more than 5 million? I think she'll live

The commentariat’s whitewashing of the INSANE first three months of the pandemic is still with us. That is why RFK is barking at Dana Bash and Bernie Moreno is cussing at Fauci. None of these are serious people.

This man was a public employee. The public does not *own* him. He’s lived with bullying, harassment, genuine danger for years. The depths to which the NYT and Atlantic have sunk in the last 10 years is appalling. The kind of people they cater to are the worst we’ve seen since the McCarthy era.

It is deeply shameful of these publications to critique a living person’s discovered diary if there is no reason but salacious gawking. Yes, it was legal to take it from the server. Yes, it was also private and so unjustly acquired. The indecency of these publications has no bottom.

It’s his fucking diary. If you don’t sound cringe in your own diary there’s something wrong with you.

As an aside, this AI-driven marketing account is an abomination. Cheerily riffing on trending topics like A DEVASTATING WILDFIRE to drive traffic to businesses is beyond dystopian. Please help me block it into oblivion.

This is what I mean when I talk about the Fantasy of the Optional Pandemic, where the virus was erased from the equation and mitigation measures were always portrayed as an avoidable choice. Headlines about what actually happened are never even acknowledged.

A fun day out for all the family

if I ever taught film criticism lesson one would be “you being smarter than the movie is not interesting to anyone”

That this criminal returned to power represents a total institutional failure
