Utterly insane that the fate of millions, even billions of living people is forever handcuffed to the whims of a handful of belligerent idiots with a God complex playing Jenga with humanity for personal gain during the blink of an eye that they're on this planet. The sheer pointlessness of it all.

Finally watched Sinners, whose main message seems to be that Irish people appreciate good music but are not always sensitive to local norms in their desire to join a rollicking party

@irishcyclingcmpn.bsky.social is there an effective way to report when a driver almost knocks a cyclist off their bike on the road and then shouts abuse at them? There is a lot of rage wrapped up in cars out there ☹️

They're called public records for a reason. Starting today, WIRED will *stop paywalling* articles that are primarily based on public records obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, becoming the first publication to partner with @freedom.press to offer this for our new coverage.
Wired is dropping paywalls for FOIA-based reporting. Others should follow
As the administration does its best to hide public records from the public, Wired magazine is stepping up to help stem the secrecy
