"Cognition bender" -- I'm adding that one to my lexicon
It's a good commentary on 2025 that the US President announces a major military attack on a foreign country and even the straightest arrows think, 50% chance it's an attack, 50% chance president is on another cognition bender.

This is the first Thanksgiving for Sophie & Colin Hortman without their parents, Minnesota state Rep. Melissa Hortman and Mark Hortman who were assassinated along with the family dog in an act of political murder. National guards troops were not deployed to the state in response.

This might be really helpful for many folks out there.

Remember, when it comes to riding bikes for transportation in the winter, “there’s no bad weather, just bad clothes.”

(And bad infrastructure and maintenance decisions from city hall)
Hey winter cyclists: the smartest thing I've done after threatening to do it for too many years was actually write down what to wear based on temperature. This helped immensely last year, and winter is coming 🥶

"Please wear a mask to protect yourself and your fellow humans" = tyranny

They didn't do anything remotely close to sedition, but I know someone who did
I guess “jail” is less harsh than execution. Should we call that progress?

Germany, a nation of car lovers, has around 85 million inhabitants.

These people own ~50 million cars, of which 1.5 million are 🔋.

They also own 90 million bicycles, of which 15 million are e-bikes.

We are, in fact, a hidden cycling nation. So well hidden that we can’t even see it ourselves.

A viral online video, which claims to show "Ukrainian soldiers" threaten to kill Charlie Kirk's wife Erika Kirk, is fake.

Not only do the "soldiers" in the clip speak Ukrainian with a notably strong Russian accent, but it has hallmarks of a Russian disinformation campaign known as Storm-1516.

Nine months ago I put most of my hope in major institutions continuing to hold fascism in check, but had little expectation that regular people with little to no power would step up and put themselves at risk.

I had it exactly backward.

Rollins: "It's Biblical - we've got to produce our own food. The president has talked significantly about the importance of onshoring our manufacturing. We also have to onshore our food. We have over the last decade begun to import more than we export, whether it's citrus or berries or even meat."

Imagine under a Bernie Sanders admin, Congressional Rs and Ds agreed to give a 5% increase to DOD in exchange for big boosts to housing and nutrition.

And then Bernie decided to just illegally ignore it and actually cut defense 10%.

That’s what Trump is doing. How can you make a deal under that?
Two senior Republican appropriators agree it doesn't make any sense for Democrats to agree to a government funding deal unless Trump actually adheres to the deal.

The Democratic alternative CR had language that would address this, but the White House came out strongly against.
