Pretty confused by how TRON became a big-budget movie franchise. Was it a bit hit when it came out? No. Did it become a big hit on video/TV? Also no. Do people have fond nostalgic memories of it? Eh kinda but not really. Was it secretly great and critically acclaimed? No again

This is terrifying!

ICE breaks into this woman’s car in the pick-up line at West Loop Elementary school in Chicago and detains her before she can pick her kids up from school. (They were eventually let go after showing their documents)

This is Trump’s America.

False. He was loud against continuing to admit digital unless WGAE fixed governance to avoid exodus of dues-heavy freelancers to West, which would have collapsed our union. He then served on the committee to solve this so digital organizing might continue. Digital reps serving on panel will confirm.

From the memory hole: There was a hostage release and ceasefire deal in place by the Biden administration 10 months ago. It was allowed to expire in March, under Donald Trump, and now it's been revived and rebranded, with Donald taking full credit like always.

I was looking at this graph again today, and I honestly don't know how a democracy can function with this magnitude of a gap when it comes to perceptions of reality.

John Pfaff @johnpfaff.bsky.social · 17d

I mean, we are living in two different realities now, and this really hasn't always been the case.

Partisan views on "more crime": used to move fairly closely, but now radically different (90% say up for GOP, 29% for Dems).

Personal stories are very effective at persuading people to support more housing! Please share if you have them!

We want to hear YOUR housing story!

Whether it's been a struggle to find affordable housing, a success story about your neighborhood, or how lack of options has impacted you, your story could be the difference in passing bills to create more housing.

I spent more than a decade at The Post. It was good to me and I was proud to work there. I’ve largely refrained from being critical since I left. But this framing of the special counsel probe is embarrassing and flatly wrong. Stunning, but not. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...
