...more than 80% of what kept this platform usable has been not only reduced to cinders but slogged into the parallel ecosystems polluting nearby sources.

Time to take a page from the current slumlords and reduce my footprint. Send a bunch of dm's, view last vistas, and move on.

This clip reminds me of what most Boomers are like when you bring up real life, genuine problems to them. They act like you're just opinionated, like it's an inconvenience, you're being rude/unkind, it's no big deal, they know better, and it's fucking *infuriating* to deal with.

Saw some people ask if the end-of-series player salute to fans is standard, & yeah, it is.

What isn't standard is the whole crowd starting a Let's Go Flyers chant on their own, less than a minute after series end. Before the handshake line even started. That was unique & real.

[Erin Grugan @eringrugan]

The "Let's go Flyers" chants after last night's OT loss just confirmed something I've always tried to explain...

All Philly fans want is EFFORT and HEART. We will love you if you just earnestly give us those things.

I don't understand why people don't trust data centers.

You can clearly see that these AES Indiana rates for Google's data center in Monrovia, IN are fair and reasonable.

One in three Americans live near hazardous chemicals. Now it’s harder to tell if you’re one of them.

“You have a right to know what’s in your back yard,” said Maya Nye, federal policy director for Coming Clean

NEW: A new type of lawfare is emerging, the Wall Street Journal's editor has warned - powerful people suing for the act of reporting.

Lawsuits are arriving before a word of a story has been published, says Emma Tucker.

A depressing development:

@DoctorVive How many structures in the US are double the size of Manhattan yet create less housing than Manhattan?

I know I'm pointing out literally nothing, but also it makes Manhattan's housing crisis a badge of honor

@BluebriarArts That...doesn't look easier to carry folded.

Remember folks, Democrats must possess PhD level knowledge of public policy and have think tank quality campaign platforms while Trump couldn't care less about two programs that <checks notes> make up a quarter of our budget and cover 140 million people & it's crickets.🙄

42 Democrats just joined 192 Republicans to reauthorize FISA Section 702 – a warrantless surveillance law that's been used to access Americans' data.

Democratic leadership did not whip their members, enabling them to vote with Republicans and give Trump the surveillance powers.
