When we throw up our hands and say none of it matters, we're doing the fascists’ work for them. They don't need to hide their corruption if they can convince us it's pointless to look. They don't need to silence truth-tellers if we've already decided truth is meaningless.

@phlogger @mikej since you obviously have more expertise on the optimal height of buildings from a carbon perspective than I do, one might wonder why you found it necessary to hijack my completely unrelated thread to make your point rather than starting your own.

Up until yesterday, I had never photographed a raptor catching a fish & flying away with it. Finally checked that box, which is kind of a must for wildlife photographers. Here's the moments-before and moments-after photos. Osprey, Huntley Meadows Park, Alexandria, Virginia, USA. 5-June-2025. #birds #birdphotography #naturephotography

Tin soldiers and Nixon's comin'
We're finally on our own
This summer I hear the drummin'

We're just one escalation away from one of them calling the other one a poopyhead.

This is the best wallet ever.

Early weekday mornings in New York, you’ll often see parents walking their children to school. These are usually kids from kindergarten through about sixth grade—by seventh grade, most get there on their own. One of my small joys is noticing how much the kids look like miniature versions of their parents: the same mannerisms, the same features, even the same general style of dress. Once you start noticing it, it’s endlessly amusing.

Oh look! Another one, but smaller.

I think this is a more or less up-to-date map of the businesses, LLCs, and people associated with the Trump family crypto projects.

Something seems to have gone very wrong with this launch. The different organizations running Trump’s litany of crypto projects operate somewhat independently, but it’s not clear exactly where things broke down here.

Absolute chaos. After my scoop about the upcoming launch of a Trump Wallet by Magic Eden, in cooperation with the $​TRUMP memecoin team, Magic Eden pushed out their announcement. Both Eric and Don Jr then repudiated the project, stating they had no prior knowledge.

One might reasonably wonder if he’s aware *now*, or if he thinks the existence of a hurricane season is some sort of controversy that the government should stay out of. https://journa.host/@w7voa/114615795420964919
