People are going to die because of the pending insurance premium hikes. I know the terrain of discourse is inconsistent and goes through a tumble cycle every 24 hours, but I really think we need to hone in on this reality and drive it home for people.

@themountaingoats.bsky.social Thank you for an amazing Portland show last night! On the off chance you see this, I have a humble request: can you enable 4X shirt sizes in your online shop? Currently it only goes up to 3X, and the merch table was sold out of the one we wanted at the show ⛴️🐉🧛

For comparison, every robotic mission NASA has ever sent in its history, from the dawn of the Space Age 65 years ago to today, from Mercury to Pluto and beyond, has cost less than $40B.
I know which one has done more for humankind and which one should be dismantled.

I was at something recently where a guy who worked in tech told a grad student that all the problems with facial recognition were fixed now and have been for a long time. So the student shouldn’t talk about it in their diss.

"For my friends, everything via the the emergency docket; for my enemies, the law."
Since April 4, #SCOTUS has issued 15 rulings on 17 emergency applications filed by Trump (three birthright citizenship apps were consolidated).
It has granted relief to Trump ... in all 15 rulings.
It has written majority opinions in only 3.
Today's order is the 7th with no explanation *at all.*

Here we go again: Over an acerbic dissenting opinion by Justice Sotomayor (joined in full by Justices Kagan and Jackson), #SCOTUS, with no explanation, grants a stay in the Department of Education RIFs case—effectively clearing the way for the Trump administration to dismantle much of the agency:

E-scooters aren’t really viable as a for-profit form of transportation (just like every other way of getting around) so I hope cities are thinking about buying the systems so they can both expand them and make them less annoying for non-scooterers
Safety aside, local authorities (municipalities/city councils to the US), the providers & some riders need to do more to make these clean forms of transport not be marred by them haphazardly left on pavements causing issues for the visually impaired & those with mobility issues.
E-scooters are remarkably safe: Seattle had fewer than 300 injuries in more than 4 million rides.
