@surber.bsky.social how much patreon would we have to raise to get you to start a cycling podcast in time for Le tour? ("we" being that tiny overlap on the fullcast listeners-cycling fans venn diagram) what's the number?

🚨 Good Lord if Schumer is indeed whipping Ds to vote for CR giving Musk/Trump blank checks ..

Either way a complete dereliction of duty from Schumer to date through his silence on the Republican funding bill to and all nomination fights in general.

Total failure of leadership. Shameful.

It’s terrifying to be in Elon Musk’s crosshairs. I’ve spent the last 48 hours dealing with the aftermath of these tweets. Everything he has said about me and Troublemakers is an outright lie.

The right to protest is at the heart of American democracy. Join a #TeslaTakedown protest. ✊❤️

The moment is right here for @warren.senate.gov warren to set up and call for impeachment of Bessent and urge her colleagues in the House to move on it.

Yes, climate change made the #LAfires worse.

Is there a link between #ClimateChange & increasing risk/severity of #wildfire in California--including the still-unfolding disaster? Yes. Is climate change the only factor at play? No, of course not. So what's really going on? [Thread] #CAfire #CAwx #LAfires iopscience.iop.org/a...

Honda is now offering its ultra-low $229/mo Prologue EV lease deal in more US states For a nearly $50,000 SUV, Honda’s Prologue is hard to pass up right now, with lease prices starting at just...

(Better than anything I’ve seen since we got our e-golf for $190/month with 0 down back in 2016)

"The next four years will be terrifying for anyone interested in truth. I want to read publications whose leaders are not afraid to call a fascist a fucking fascist."

First you lap the world on EVs and now on the Xodus! Ever an inspiration!

Oh, friend. Let me tell you something about “the parking lot for 6 minutes before soccer practice is over.” Get excited.

Surely I must be at least the one hundredth person to ask, but is this art for sale and may I buy this as a birthday present for my wife?

Musk turned Twitter into a GOP propaganda machine.

and if this "DOGE" nonsense is meant to actually enforce a statute, issue rules, etc. they need explicit congressional authorization. full stop.

Ran this by my spouse, who teaches administrative law and knows more about this stuff than most, and she basically said the only way it could really work would be through agency reorganization, which a pres can kinda do, or if it's housed entirely under OMB.

“Real status” is purgy

When the votes are all counted, Trump will likely end up with the narrowest margin of victory since 2000.

Important to keep that in mind when you hear Trump and his bootlickers in the GOP and the media talk about him having a mandate. He doesn't and Democrats need to remember it and act like it.

“the possible consequences of a changing concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere with reference to climate” may “ultimately prove of considerable significance to civilization.”

A stellar new investigation from @rebeccajohn.bsky.social has uncovered the first known time the oil industry was warned about rising CO2 from fossil fuels, 1954, incredibly via their own front group.
