We raised $300 yesterday in small donations, I'd love to be able to get that to $500. (Anas needs $1500 total.) Venmo me a couple of bucks, it adds up <3

I'm helping a man in Gaza raise funds for his grandfather's medical treatment. I know we're all worn out and depleted and worried about $, but little things add up: If you want to help, venmo me $2 or your venmo balance or whatever. 🙏https://account.venmo.com/u/Jaime-Green-3

Do we really want 250,000 mirrored satellites in Low Earth Orbit? Hasn't the Starlink megaconstellation already done enough damage?
🧪 @mjibrown.bsky.social

A US startup plans to deliver ‘sunlight on demand’ after dark. Can it work – and would we want it to?

Satellites beaming sunlight down to Earth sound like science fiction – and they have astronomers very worried.

this really is all just about resentment over obama being given the prize

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 2d

BARTIROMO: On your point about the Nobel Peace Prize, do you think maybe the reason Trump won't get it is because you had to get the application in before Jan. 31, and that was only 11 days into his term?

SCALISE: Look, they can play technicalities. They gave it to Obama for just getting elected.

REI easily top of the list of companies most likely to do a land acknowledgement before layoffs

Jonathan Cohn @jonathancohn.bsky.social · 3d

REI is closing unionized stores. So many companies that like to pretend to be progressive remain still virulently anti-union at their core. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/10/08/b...

REI Co-Op’s Boston location is set to close next year - The Boston Globe

REI said it will close three locations on the East Coast, including a store in Boston, as it launches a new strategic plan.

do you have a pet peeve, interesting tidbit, passionate defense of / jeremiad against a book-ish topic? we happen to have a bit of room in this week's Lit Hub Podcast — send me a voice note by tomorrow afternoon and it might end up in the show! (also you'll have my gratitude forever!)

There's something really lovely and satisfying about this (beyond even confirmation that Rockland isn't Upstate), the confluence of geography and culture, the little slivers like the Ohio River Valley and the Front Range, the separation and flow.

William Hazen @williamhazen.bsky.social · 4d

This is the most accurate depiction of the Midwest to date. Wichita has always felt like the last Midwest city while also being the first plains city.
