ISV Pioneering Spirit, built in 2177 to supplement humanity’s expansion into the stars. At present, it runs valuable cargo from the Sol system to the colonies in the TRAPPIST-1 system, a journey that takes it about 55 years real-time, or about 27 years ship’s time.

New: Apple banned an app that simply archived videos of ICE abuses. Rather than other apps that record ICE official's real-time location, Eyes Up is to "preserve evidence until it can be used in court." Videos from TikTok etc. Every submission manually reviewed

St. Louis is considering a ban on new data center development.

The city's Planning and Urban Design Agency has proposed a temporary ban on building data centers until there's a better understanding of issues around land use, the environment, regulations and more.

In 1900, 31% of all deaths were children under the age of 5.

Today it’s 0.7%.

Vaccines, medications, and modern science are the reason why. Trust the science, it’s been proven to work safely and efficiently time and time again.

New Dems just released our Immigration & Border Security framework—a plan for how we can pass commonsense, bipartisan policies that fix our system & address the issues Americans care most about.

Climate and Transit @climateandtransit.bsky.social · Aug 15

We need proper bike infrastructure in our cities!

Painted bike lanes and flexy posts are not enough to protect riders!

We need solid infrastructure like protected bike lanes, multi use paths and greenways with modal filters that protect riders.

Painted bike lane (doesn’t provide safe cycling area)

Flexy post bike lane (doesn’t provide safe cycling area)

Concrete protected bike lane (provides safe cycling area)

Modal filter on neighborhood greenway (provides safe cycling area)

Home sweet home

A house that looks like a giant smoke alarm on an otherwise normal street. The text reads: They finally did it! Your dream home made entirely out of a smoke alarm. You can't live inside a smoke alarm, but you can make sure there are working ones in every bedroom, outside sleeping areas, and on every level of your (normal) home. Check to make sure your smoke alarm isn't expired.

America is beautiful, contradictory, unfinished. I am proud of our country even as we constantly strive to make it better, to protect and deepen our democracy, to fulfill its promise for each and every person who calls it home.

Happy Independence Day. No Kings in America.

Hell, I'd argue Illinois should pass its own citizenship law making everyone domiciled in Illinois a citizen of the State of Illinois and prohibiting ICE or anyone else from removing any Illinois citizen from this state.
