Taking the early train from Beijing to ChongQing. Ride here was smooth and the streets were almost empty. That looked unusual for the traffic jammed streets of #Beijing

Beijing Railway Station at night, illuminated with red lights and a large clock, featuring a modern entrance and empty plaza.
A train station with a large digital board displaying train schedules. The station is empty with a few people in the distance.
An train Station terminal with rows of empty seats, a large screen, and check-in counters at the end of the hall. The scene is dark, indicating its night still.

Brad Marino's new (5th) LP 'Agent of Chaos' is a banger. Power pop, Ramones vibes all over the place. I hadn't heard of this guy. LOVING this one. Catchy as hell.

The only April Fools prank I endorse:

Video clip from “so it’s finally come to this, The Simpsons clip show” Homer is sitting on the couch and says “mmm, beer” and pulls himself up off the couch, with a sticky squelching noise (BART had turned the thermostat up) Homer walks to the fridge, as part excitedly runs to peek around the corner into the kitchen He opens the refrigerator, pulling out a beer As he cracks open the beer, Bart jumps around the corner to yell “April Fool-“ as he is cut off by the giant beersplosion the engulfs h…

Technically the Senate Dems *DID* concede the original demands to claw back ICE/CBP/HSI funds and to ban some of the Fash tactics used in MPLS and Chicago as conditions for any DHS funding.
But those were always sacrificial asks. They existed to be conceded. @…

Absolutely extraordinary. The Democrats conceded *nothing* and got everything they demanded. They said no ICE/CBP funding, and that's precisely what happened. In other words, they did not cave. At all. But the GOP did—completely. [contains quote post or other embedded content]

Just finished "The Hate U Give" by Angie Thomas. In an unusual twist of fate, I had read "Concrete Rose" earlier, which gave me a rich backstory to relate things to. "The Hate U Give" is really good, but I found the resolution of King's arc slightly disappointing, even though the ending was strong. It's definitely not my place to judge Thomas' perspective here, but I do think that the book's broad popularity including among more liberal audiences probably stems at least in part from the way it allows a "the cops have issues but are ultimately-necessary/sometimes-positive" reading that undermines the strength of the core message.
In the end I like Concrete Rose better, but they're both great and I'll be putting Thomas' other books on my to-read list.

I will once again repeat what I think is a nationally winning campaign for a US opposition party (should any care to exist), now with Berlatsky’s improved phrasing:
❝If elected, I will fight like hell to:
- destroy Donald Trump, everything he has done, and everything he stands for,
- tax the living shit out of billionaires, and
- use that money to repair the damage they’ve done to the US.❞
Not saying that’s everything that needs to happen, or an entire political philosophy, or the solution to everything. Only saying that I think that — simply that — would win elections. Try it and see. You cowards. fed.brid.gy/r/https://bsky.app

Yes, it's from the bad place, but Maçães is one of the only international observers with an intact moral compass in 2026.

Happy Birthday, Angus Young!
I listen to Live At River Plate almost every day. This album and his performance all across the board gives me life!
When I’m 71 I want to be able to jump and run around as much as he still does!

> "The whole social contract of Dubai involves a wilful blindness to the proximity of suffering and violence. After all, Gaza is geographically close."
I guess "geographically close" is relative, but no-one ever talks about London in the context of it being geographically close to Libya.

Expat influencers sold Dubai to the world and were paid to look the other way. Now the dream is crumbling
The Maseratis are borrowed, the helicopters rented by the hour. But deep down Dubai is a lonely place, built by oppressed people
