Some non typical cables. But yes, these are cables. Swerving movement dimension and little peekaboo pockets tucked under.

“Air pollution fell substantially as Paris restricted car traffic and made way for parks, people-streets and bike-lanes.”

Better for the climate, better for health, better for livability and quality of life.

Common sense.

Such a no-brainer, it’s remarkable that more cities HAVEN’T done the same.
Paris said au revoir to cars. Air pollution maps reveal a dramatic change.

Note the total silence from troops as Trump pushes the big lie: "You know, we won the second election by a lot, so we had to just prove it by winning the third by too big to rig I called it."

The words of a stable genius.
Trump: "They spent $900,093,000 on the catapults trying to get them to work. And they had steam, which worked so beautifully and it has for 50 years, right? So we're gonna go back. Seriously fellas, I want to make that change. I'm gonna do an executive order."

Are cats conscious of time? I mean bigger picture time? Like “it’s been a year since I saw my favorite tree” (because my people moved).

As someone who once was a migrant with Indefinite Leave to Remain, I’m pretty sure I still couldn’t access most social programs. (I later got my citizenship.) Also how could they be making £39k and not pay a penny in tax?!
In their desperate efforts to outflank Reform from the (even further) right, the Tories are proposing a policy that accords with the preferences of roughly 3% of the electorate.
Here Lam explicitly sets out her proposal - which is official Conservative Party policy - to deport long-standing legal permanent residents who have *ever* claimed any benefit, including the state pension or child benefit (even if the child is British), or who earn less than £39K.

ICE is stockpiling arms, including chemical weapons, guided missile warheads and explosive components. The spending dwarfs anything we've ever seen in the agency - a 700% increase.

The President is building an army to attack his own country.

If you can, go live & work abroad for at least 3-5 years. You’re a prime candidate bc you have solid experience. It will change your life in ways you can’t imagine.

If you’re a people-pleaser, start unlearning that now; by the time you’re in your early 40s you’ll be wishing you started earlier
Those who are 35+, what advice do you have for people just entering their 30s?

This is poetry. 🔥
The White Man is a perpetual child, incapable of being held accountable due to the position he often finds himself in while benefiting from absolute power over the lives of those around him. He may steal the lives of others while claiming supremacy. He will steal all you have and claim Christ

White men facing consequences for their actions isn't purity testing when everyone else faces consequences for crimes they're not even committing.

Enslaved people built the White House. I don’t care if it’s defiled or burnt down. I care more about people being disappeared, families being ripped apart. I get the symbolic feeling, but we also need to get serious.

The building is bullshit theater. What matters is people.

Exclusive: Anthropic spent $2.66 billion on Amazon Web Services in the first three quarters of 2025, around 100% of their estimated revenue. Its costs appear to increase with their revenue, showing little path to profitability.

The trump regime is setting up official agency accounts here on BlueSky, and they’re dragging their MAGA trolls with them. Block liberally.

This is absurd. They should be absolutely ashamed. How can they justify this?

I only HAD a NYT game subscription for $1.99/month. I just cancelled it.
Those with sharp eyes might detect a subtle difference in NYT play last month of an event in one city, w 100,000+ attendees, versus play this morning of some 2500+ events w many millions of attendees, in all 50 states.

See if you can spot it! /s

Say like five or six people show up. None of them knew each other before. Suddenly they’re all friends. And maybe from that you get a group that does longer-term organizing that can punch *way* above its weight considering where it is
