Today is National Biscuit Day, and it’s about time that I populated this account with biscuit (cookie) sets from the past few years. Here are some of my favourites. 🧵

First up, a set inspired by the delicious designs of William Morris and John Henry Dearle.

I cannot stress enough how much of a Def Con 1 moment this is. Federal judges fear that the President of the United States will stand down security for judges in retaliation for adverse decisions.

This is such a huge story.
This should be seen as evidence of the crisis: federal judges fear that Trump will order U.S. Marshals to stand down on securing the safety of judges whose decision they don’t like. This is just devastating.

OK, this is wild.

In September 2023, geophysicists across the world started monitoring a very odd signal coming from the ground under them.

It was picked up in the Arctic. And Antarctica. It was detected everywhere, every 90 seconds, as regular as a metronome, for *nine days*.

What the HELL?

Great look at the problems with "growth pays for growth," which mostly come down to making it more expensive to build all of the new housing we need to be adding.
Very proud and a bit nervous to share About Here’s latest video “The Housing Tax Crisis” with @smallhousing.bsky.social. This script took months of research and a bit of me losing my mind but I think it ultimately tells a profound story about our housing crisis today.

"It remains a pretty shocking aspect of this country: the amount of money we provide to help rich kids get even further ahead of poor kids."

Right now public schools won't be fully funded until 2034 (3 terms away if it holds) - denying an entire generation of kids proper schooling. It's a disgrace

Canada needs a simple and consistent way to discern between bad-faith propaganda outlets and people who do journalism, or this is going to continue to get worse.

This isn't about left versus right. You can do good journalism from a conservative perspective. It's about your goals and processes.

This picture may haunt me to the end of my days.

It is an ICE agent taking an axe to the car window of an immigrant in New Bedford, MA. Not far from where I sit now. An immigrant with no criminal record was abducted by this smiling man.
