I can only assume one of the set or prop folks for High Potential is from DFW with an FC Dallas (!!), Stars, and Cowboys pennants in the latest episode.

So looks like I'll listen to Richard Evans' book on 2x to finish it in time at the rate things are going.

You know what’s really stupid? Enabling crossfade on Apple Music requires you to go into the Settings app, then find Apple Music and then enable it from there. Absolute madness to not let me set it directly in the app.

I don't remember seeing any calls for violent retribution after a Minnesota state senator was assassinated, and it would have been nice not to see any today.

Love the slight crisp cool air in the mornings now when I open the window for our cat.

Looking forward to having proper seasons now that we're back in Chicago.

Excellent demonstration of how cartography is political.
Even if data were objective (lol it isn't), the way we put it together is deeply subjective and guides the reader to specific conclusions.
When you look at a map, ask yourself what the message is. Could the map be made another way?
You can always count on The New York Times to minimize the scale and impact of protest.

Yesterday's 2000+ No Kings actions smashed records for the most demonstrations in a single day.

So the Times decided to publish a horseshit map of just a handful of "confirmed locations."

We're not fooled.

It appears that because the message of “why in FCD’s stadium all you see on TV are seats covered w/ tarps” has not been effectively communicated, & someone- the club? a fan? - created a new URL that redirects to the project’s site 😆

@mattdoyle.bsky.social Any suggestions on what could be done to get an official @MLS account active over here? Any particular accounts/emails that people could make the request to?

Billionaires have more class solidarity than we do.
UPDATE: Meta is continuing to censor anti-Musk ads. It has removed a Facebook ad calling for a boycott of Tesla, saying that it violates the company's policy on "unacceptable business practices"
