If you are not following @ekkoastral.bsky.social then you are missing the rise of the first #bluesky musical dynasty and all-around one of the most passionate, salient, emphatic voices of resistance, embodying the time-tested virtues empathy, love, tolerance, and unwavering resolve

Californians for Electric Rail @calelectricrail.org · 3h

This one highway is projected to cost 85% of what CA has spent on high-speed rail over 15 years and hundreds of miles. If we can afford this, we can afford high-speed rail.

The entire proposed Highway 37 Solano-Marin super bridge is estimated to cost $11 billion, all to replace an existing road between a couple of suburbs. And it's proposed at 114 feet wide.

For comparison, the Golden Gate Bridge is 90 feet wide.

Caltrans has released a cross section for the ultimate (raised viaduct) version of SR-37.

Now maybe I'm just being paranoid, but if you were building a road that you planned to keep at 4 lanes wide, I don't think it would look like this.

Hate to be a sourpuss, but Democrats say they can make the government shutdown a 2026 issue. But it's time for a history lesson. In 1995-1996, the government shut down. It ended horribly for Newt Gingrich. 1/ www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Schumer hopes to make the shutdown a 2026 issue. Good luck with that, Chuck!

The minority party might have found their mojo again after months of looking like losers, Eric Garcia writes. But the American public has a short memory

I recommend resharing with the message that we ought not tolerate this and demand that the right of any person to leave this country has the right to do so, period.

This is a developing situation. Be careful with words.

He has not as of now. I’ve already let my peoples know, we’re pushing the solidarity message out locally with the news.

NJ can’t and won’t tolerate this harassment of our citizens

I always recommend listening to Feynman’s talk on working at los alamos during the manhattan project to anyone who tells me they’re thinking about seeing Oppenheimer

Way more entertaining for one

Incredible.

Jack Posobiec references the earliest version of antifa -- the anti-fascists in the Weimar Republic who were opposed to the Nazi Party -- as the bad guys.

I typically make my own decisions on who people are and I think you’re sweet too. That said, right now I’m not trying to follow anyone else, just because I like to keep my feed slow and full of thoughts from people a hell of a lot smarter than me. And unhinged trannies. Gotta have them.

I don’t mind, I love when people engage because otherwise this platform dies! It’s all up there for other people to enjoy or ignore as they want.

I try to block the bots that follow me, I just want the things I post to go in front of the eyes of real people who care.

Nooo lmao the singer is my friend @jael.bsky.social, she’s a climate journalist and one of the all around best human beings around

I just proselytize, it’s like trading DOOM lines. It’s just what people do

Thanks lol I’m quite self-deprecating. I mostly repost good journalism I find to be worth reading, random takes (and good journalism) from my friends, everything the band posts, and my own selfies, observations, gf recipes, trans nonsense (9 months today!) and really cloying sweetness aka my cat Ted

Incredibly alarming—after the whole ridiculous antifa roundtable at the White House, as Mark was moving with his family to Europe after threats…

Respectfully I think prattling on about it doesn’t help matters much.

If you must use your platform to speak then why not educate your followers about jury nullification, talk about how they can stay safe out there, encourage them to find solidarity with their neighbors.

We won’t win by doomsaying

Thanks for following me, I’m very dumb and loquacious

highland cattle have it figured out

Tom Cox @dj-acid-reflux.bsky.social · 21h

Highland cattle are famous for their ability to "disco nap". Normally these brief, efficient sleeps will last between three and twenty minutes, deploying a variety of objects as pillows, including moorland boulders, cars or any particularly large dog or sheep who happens to be nearby.

@ladytehilah.bsky.social I see what you saw when you followed me, and they’re open for you too if you need them. All I’ll ever ask in repayment is that you also follow @ekkoastral.bsky.social, and repost them habitually.

You should also listen to them because they’re excellent.
