The bikes-for-transportation community is absolutely charging their cameras to capture video riding past the forthcoming gas station lines.

I think this is about the temperature but honestly it works for decades as well

I'm aware, but the complainers are not! They're wrong in numerous ways!

This isn't really timely any more but I didn't ever want to hear anyone complain that the Obama Iran deal "sent them pallets of cash" when we're blowing up $1B per day

The Trump administration took your money illegally.

They won’t give it back.

Good thing we've spent the past several years becoming less reliant on oil through investments in wind, solar, and storage without cancelling any nearly completed energy projects...

Of all the ways that current events suck, this one is new and surprising to me.

So uh, you're welcome.

Too bad there's no opposition party that could run a 48 hour Youtube telethon program with 48 elected officials each programming one hour to point out the awfulness of the war on Iran. That would definitely not get any media or other attention.

Kansas invalidated a trans woman's license even though she never changed her gender marker.

It's not about the gender marker. It's about targeting trans people and making their lives unlivable.

These authors reviewed 73 previous studies examining car touchscreens.

Conclusion: They're awful

"Touchscreens tended to have negative effects on driving performance, visual attention, and secondary task performance compared with voice control and physical controls."

I don't think people's problem with, for example, the paper's decade-long crusade putting a big ol' target on trans people's backs can be accurately described as NYT doing "reporting that doesn't always 100% accord with what advocacy groups want."

@elfreth.house.gov please grill Elbridge Colby this week on what a grossly unconstitutional and strategically ridiculous move it was to attack Iran. The support activities at the Applied Physics Lab in your district I'm sure would rather be helping the Navy with more sensible tasking.

Meme: The Duolingo owl and the Hooters owl are brothers. One chose the path of knowledge. The other, the path of jumbo bazoingas, short shorts and chicken wings. An unbridgeable schism. A tale as old as time.

The response: Their father, the Tootsie Roll Own, is equally proud of both and just wishes he could have his family back.

I think the truly damning thing about the Dem comms response is that they had months to prepare for today and there's zero coordination, no unified message. Just every D leader responding like they quickly hammered out a statement in a panic at 6 am this morning

this is a great brief and it appropriately ends with a killshot: the simple observation that if trump's meaning held, the birthright clause would not have overturned dred scott, the one thing it was absolutely meant to do.

They won't start with banning birth control. First they'll lie about it. Then dictate who can prescribe it, use it, fund it, in what forms, and for how long. Suddenly, your doctor won't call you back. I know this is what they'll do because it's what they're doing to transgender healthcare right now.

As of tonight, licenses of trans people across Kansas are being invalidated en masse, enabling the overnight criminalization of an entire group of people for going about our lives. It’s often said you never know when you’re living through history, so let me assure you: that’s what’s happening now.
