I just saw a guy driving a big truck like a ford F150 with a bunch of lumber stuck through the window of the second row of the cabin, like in one side out the other, presumably because it was too long to go in the very short bed. Congrats on designing trucks that defeat the purpose of trucks.

also folks should avoid pre-litigating the blame game if it goes wrong. If Trump is elected, then folks will be angry and every decision will be retroactively the monocausal error: If Harris loses, it was the mistake of the century to swap; if Biden loses, the mistake of the century not to, etc

What matters isn't who's to blame if things go wrong, it's how to have the best chance of it not going wrong in the first place.

Just what matters ultimately isn't who is to blame or who is right about what online. It's just that the Republic rejects this monstrous alternative in Nov. If it's Biden, great, pedal to the metal, everyone get in the car. If it's Harris, great, everyone into the KHive, LFG. But sort it out now.

A squire rushed in to the great hall.

"Someone," he shouted, "has taken the sword from the stone!"

The assembled knights halted their dinner.

"At last, a king?"

"Who?"

"I don't know," the squire said. "The sword is gone!"

Elsewhere:
"This," Indy muttered, "belongs in a museum.

It's easy for Trump to pretend to distance from this shit because it's politically toxic to many in the GOP but also because this group is basically the wanna be Brownshirts offering a playbook and troops to their Fuhrer. They'd do well to remember that history. 🗡️

It’s important to defeat Republicans so thoroughly they have to tear the party down and rebuild it. It’s good to have two (or more) viable parties, but neither of them can be violent, eliminationist, authoritarian cults of personality.

Google’s emissions are up 48% in 5 years. Microsoft’s are up 30% since 2020. Those soaring figures are being driven by mass investments in data centers to power AI tools. Generative AI is a climate disaster and data center expansion must be stopped.

2. Labour held steady in total votes, but combined with the fractured vote on the right, won a historic parliamentary majority. This is in line with trends elsewhere in Europe. The far right rises and wins when the center-left atomizes (Italy, France) and falls short when it holds (Spain, Portugal).

Due to the fireworks, New York City's air quality is the worst in the world tonight.

When AQI is low, it's a good idea to wear a mask to protect your health.

But this could soon be a crime, as one of the mask ban bills prohibits masks at "lawful assemblies."
