I saw this video of a Vietnam vet in the fur coat yelling at ICE and thought to myself, "this is missing something," before I realized, "Ah, of course, the Ether instrumental. It's so obvious."

Best TikTok thing going is the two dudes trying food from every country without leaving NYC. If you haven’t seen them yet, it’s incredible. My favorite so far is last week’s. Legit got me emotional.

Sometimes all you can do is make the world 0.0000000000001% less awful by being a good person and it feels very meaningless but it’s also the only thing that really matters

every seat in a movie theater should have an "I have to pee" button and if enough people press it they should be able to pause the movie

Very interesting and informative read
Given everything happening right now, I updated this article with options for weather apps, web forms, and translation services — along with some tweaks to existing categories.

Silicon Valley’s alliance with Donald Trump was a mask off moment and showed the world we can’t depend on US tech companies.
For the past few months, I’ve been trying to get off US tech and I put together a guide so you find alternatives too. I hope you find it helpful!

FINLAND IS NOT RE-GAUGING ITS RAILWAYS
Just because an urbanist influencer has posted a 6 months old piece (that was anyway inaccurate) about it does not mean it is happening!
Finland *might* lay some additional standard gauge track from Sweden to Oulu

Sorry but I can't stand this take.
Women are getting elected to statewide office all over. Blue states and red.
Scolding people that because Clinton and Harris failed to do it, that must mean it can't be done. And it plants seeds of doubt in any other potential woman candidates. Hate it!

More than refreshing, it's the key to building a winning coalition in the future
Most establishment Dems are very invested in punching left. It’s refreshing when they do choose a different path.

Stories like this one should be more national than they tend to be
Thank you to everyone who has reached out with concern. Late last night, I woke up to my car, car port, and home engulfed in flames. I'm grateful for the quick response from Portland firefighters who prevented the fire from spreading even further.

"Tech barons" telling him to back off SF so they stay unaffected, but hitting Oakland is still fine by them presumably
After talking to tech barons, Trump tells Mayor Lurie he's "calling off" a "surge" of feds to SF.
It's not clear if this applies to ICE/Border Patrol or just to the Nat'l Guard. It's not clear what will befall other area cities.

President Trump deployed federal agents to Alameda ahead of what the Coast Guard said is a Bay Area-wide operation. Check back for updates.

While we're at it can we let every single sports broadcaster know that "mano y mano" means "hand and hand" which is not what they're going for
Not to be THAT dictionary, but…
It’s ‘per se,’ not ‘per say.’
It’s ‘dog-eat-dog world,’ not ‘doggy-dog world.’
It’s ‘hunger pangs,’ not ‘hunger pains.’
It’s ‘one and the same,’ not ‘one in the same.’
It's 'buck naked,' not 'butt naked.'
