It's okay for the abyss to stare back, but does it have to wink?

That's just unseemly.

Hmm. With solar energy, the big explosions take place 93 million miles away
A fireball lit up the sky across the Los Angeles area on Thursday night after an explosion at a Chevron refinery in El Segundo, alarming nearby residents who said it felt like an earthquake. The cause of the explosion was not clear. No injuries were reported. nyti.ms/42pPCaW

Housing really is a ‘decide if you want to win’ issue for the Democratic Party.
We're all going to be unbelievably fucked if blue states don't start immediately rolling back restrictions on new housing to create a construction boom and build millions of new multifamily homes as soon as possible

This is climate arson, yes, but also the entire value proposition of Tesla, the reason for its insane stock price, is that it would end up the Amazon of electric cars: the only real game in town. Killing off non-Tesla electric car infrastructure is a gift to Musk.

Another example of Schrödinger’s leftist: so marginal as to deserve no electoral pandering nor voice in opinion pages, so ubiquitous and powerful as to be able to change the course of history with a suffix
I don't think there's really an argument about whether this is something leftists do online. It is.

The question is why this minor annoyance is considered a more consequential liability for Democrats than, say, stochastic terrorism is for Republicans.

In the coming weeks, a lot of slow-on-the uptake folks are going to begin belatedly realizing Trump is both an inept moron and a dangerous autocrat. Our great civic challenge in these trying times will be calmly welcoming them aboard instead of primal-screaming in their faces.

This also lets you comment, vigorously and at length, on the accuracy of, and motivations behind, Google's choices.
A quick resistance task:

I can’t believe it - after years of advocacy, exclusionary zoning has ended in Cambridge.

We just passed the single most comprehensive rezoning in the US—legalizing multifamily housing up to 6 stories citywide in a Paris style

Here’s the details 🧵

as always we need to be careful about what it is that we are using criticisms to actually do in the world and not just what political aesthetic we are trying to express

I hold a lot of disdain for the people who didn’t see this coming given P2025 but it does seem like the actual support for these goals is nonexistent, everyone who voted for him did so under the incredibly stupid assumption that he wouldn’t do this
