We all see how Racism got the Republican Party to completely abandon everything they’ve ever supposedly stood for, right? Evangelicals, fiscal conservatives, 2nd amendmenters — all threw their beliefs out the window because Trump gave them racism.

Releasing today - the 2025 regional living wages. Our takeaway this year - too many people are working long hours for incomes that don't cover a conservative estimate of essential household expenses.

On the anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic, we thought we'd answer a question that's often asked,
"If they raised the Mary Rose, why not raise the Titanic?"

Hi all,
This is the first week we'll be posting the full Canadian COVID Forecast thread on Bluesky instead of Twitter.
We'll post a link to the Bluesky thread on Twitter, so you can still find it.
@battlingbeaver.bsky.social will post it for me on Monday, once @allenescott.bsky.social translates.

Hey new users— we’ve been trying to build a strong culture of expecting alt text. Take it from me, because I’ve heard from them: there are blind people on this app and they appreciate being included. You can also turn on a setting that prevents you from posting images without it, if you forget

I love everything about this story: Tony Hawk posted a ‘70s era image of a Black girl skateboarding in the rain. Jeremy Markovich tracked her down.

Tony Hawk wanted to track down a mysterious skateboarder from 1979. We found her.
A photographer snapped a shot of Shaunda Shane skating down her street in Fayetteville when she was 10. How did the world's most famous skateboarder see that picture 45 years later?
