huge difference between a bike and a moped, which is being obscured with our use of “e-bike” to include both.

Unregulated e-bikes are a growing danger on American streets. In one Bay Area town, a terrible accident finally led to reform. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/30/m...

I wrote for @theintercept.com about how prosecuting transportation of these pamphlets is a danger to all writers, journalists, and Americans.

Went ahead and updated my map of cities with higher crime than D.C. to accommodate the two new states from the Deep South who are sending troops to the capital. In the five states there are 64 cities, home to 1.7 million people, that had more crime in 2024 than D.C.

Some U.S. media (such as the Washington Post here) trace U.S.-Iranian animosity back to the 1979 Islamic Revolution, conveniently forgetting that the CIA helped overthrow a democratically elected Iranian government in 1953, forcing Iranians to endure decades of the Shah’s brutal rule.

Woof. This hasn't been strategic and any transformation will be out of necessity. It's been asymmetric staff losses at best and any relocation involves carrying multiple job titles. Updated service standards are lists of services that we can eliminate when staffing reaches critical thresholds.

The statement from NOAA:

Through strategic transformation, staff reallocation, and updated service standards, NWS is ensuring resilience and continuity of mission-critical functions. Reports suggesting otherwise are false and disrespectful.

Digital rights are human rights— and justice should never come with barriers.

Our tactile braille sticker turns that belief into something you can hold.

Tactile graphic sticker depicts figure of Lady Justice with fiery hair and flowing garment below armor, holding a sword and scales, with braille reading ‘Justice’ in white, and ‘EFF’ in red. The figure’s body, legs, arms, hair, and objects are raised, showing the outlines tactually so you can show off and feel the design.

noodling around on a tool/workflow to identify plausible targets of interest of police surveillance aircraft based solely on their flight paths
A screenshot of a terminal window showing a script processing a KML file and printing potential targets of interest along with basic information about the identified orbits including the radius, the angular change and consistency. Screenshot of Google Earth Pro displaying the flight track of a flight of N10CX (AlCo Sheriff's Office fixed wing surveillance aircraft) around SE Oakland. The flight track is visualized with thin red lines over a satellite basemap. There are several clear areas where the aircraft is orbiting around a stationary point. There are also KML objects labeled TOI #X that depict calculated possible targets of interest in the center of these orbits.

A reminder that if the government can send migrants to a prison camp without any due process, it can send U.S. citizens there, too. I know because this happened to me and my family in 1942.

Despite being one on the main sources of anti-vaccine disinformation that is causing preventable measles deaths, RFK Jr is planning to attend the funeral of the second child to die of measles in Texas. These are dark times.
HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was expected to attend the child’s funeral, which is scheduled for Sunday, according to a person familiar with the plans.

Teslan-Americans have reached protected status faster than any minority in American history.

DC Metro Police have announced they're investigating the defacement of Teslas as potential hate crimes.

Their news release (faces obscured by me):
March 24, 2025 MPD Searching for Suspects in Defacing Private Property Offenses (Washington, D.C.) – The Metropolitan Police Department is asking for the community’s assistance in identifying two suspects involved in defacing private property (hate/bias) offenses involving Teslas in the District. In the below offenses, the suspects wrote political hate speech on to the victims’ Tesla vehicles then fled the scene. • On Sunday, March 2, 2025, at approximately 2:29 p.m., in the 200 block of K Street, Northeast. CCN: 25030232 • On Sunday, March 2, 2025, at approximately 6:15 p.m., in the 3600 block of 11th Street, Northwest. CCN: 25420951 The suspects were captured by surveillance cameras and can be seen in the photos below: The male suspect was also involved in the below offenses: • On Saturday, March 8, 2025, at approximately 8:05 a.m., and on Friday, March 14, 2025, between 12:00 a.m. and 8:06 a.m., in the 600- 700 blocks of F Street, Northeast. CCN: On Sunday, March 9, 2025, at approximately 3:48 p.m., and on Monday, March 10, 2025, at approximately 3:48 p.m., in the 800 block of F Street, Northeast. CCN: 25035129 • On Wednesday, March 12, 2025, at approximately 12:35 p.m., in the 600 block of G Street, Northeast. CCN: 25035658 Anyone who can identify these suspects or has knowledge of this incident should take no action but call police at (202) 727-9099 or text your tip to the Department's TEXT TIP LINE at 50411. The Metropolitan Police Department currently offers a reward of up to $1,000 to anyone who provides information that leads to the arrest and indictment of the person or persons responsible for a crime committed in the District of Columbia. The Metropolitan Police Department is investigating these offenses as potentially being motivated by hate or bias. The designation can be changed at any point as an investigation proceeds and more information is gathered. A designation as a hate crime by MPD does not mean that prosecutors will prosecute it as a hate crime.

I worked in the hospital with the first COVID death in America. I saw patients die & colleagues die of the disease in the early figure it out phase. We were swamped with COVID cases but once we had universal masking & protocols for PPE no more dead providers. Non pharm intervention works

Salaries make up about 6.6% of federal spending so all of these staff reductions are a tiny drop in the federal budget. They're either performative or meant to hobble federal agencies so they can't perform their function. Or both. It's maddening.
