It’s infuriating that every Substack email comes with a “read in app” link but it just takes you to the App Store, even if you have the app installed already. If you then tap “Open”, it just opens the app; it doesn’t take you to the specific post you were trying to read.
Yes, websites can’t tell which apps you have installed. Which is why Substack should link to the web version with a Smart App Banner. Not rocket science, but I guess that would make it too easy to avoid the app??

Yes, we need to build out transit and increase housing development, but the public sector should do those things. A strong defense of the public sector against privatization, and a willingness to push for its expansion instead of opting for 'market-based solutions,' is an essential part of what it means to be a democratic socialist"

I've seen outrage expressed at this one percent decrease of the lowest marginal tax rate as "not being a 'middle-class tax cut' since everyone -- billionaires included -- will benefit from it."
It's true; it means that anyone making more than $57,375 will pay 1% less on that first $57K. So, yes, a billionaire and I will both pay $573.75 less. That's how tax brackets work.
It's bad enough that some people don't understand taxation; it's worse that others exploit that to foment outrage.

Reminder: public protest is about visibility, not hiding. The power comes from people being willing to be visible, put their time on the line, and if needed, their bodies.
If you're going to start shit, maybe just ... don't. Direct action of the illegal sort requires careful planning and a tactical and strategic plan for why it will win. It happens sometimes, but it's not the mode, it's not the mode of the No Kings protests. This is a popular, public demonstration of outrage. It's legal (for now, and I hope, ever).
Yes, the police may try to kettle protesters and then trap them into curfew violations in places that have curfews. Masks won't save us from that where it happens. Just running the system with competent representation (and enough bodies to make it A Problem for the system) will.
We don't all need to be masked vigilantes at protests, and in a lot of cases, we need to be worried about the people masking up and starting shit. Remember that this is our opponents current tactic: masked, violent attacks. Don't look like them.

My knee-jerk reaction to this article from @… was a cynical [citation needed] re “artists from all mediums emphatically support the use of AI.”
On further reflection…well, that’s still my response to the eyeball-grabbing lede, yes, but the actual article is what I wish we’d had instead of this inane hype avalanche:
Artists poking at the new thing, playing with it, finding its possibilities, critiquing it, problematizing it, asking us to ask what it is, helping us see it with fresh eyes from many angles. infosec.exchange/@adamshostack

OK, so is he saying that it is an accurate depiction of Rob Ford?
Because YES, Rob Ford was definitely disgusting. Almost as bad as his brother, who got his start as a drug dealer… flipboard.com/@cbcnews/toronto

The Supreme court ruled
in Humphrey’s Executor v. United States
that the Constitution did not grant the president an “illimitable power of removal,”
at least over certain types of officials.
This included the head of the Federal Trade Commission, whose firing by President Franklin Roosevelt had sparked the case.
Humphrey’s Executor stood basically untouched for decades, until Justices John Roberts and Samuel Alito – both of whom had previously served in the exe…

And yes, please, please, please view anyone raising money to expose some theoretical 2024 election tampering as a Steinesque grifter. They are conning you. And they are more likely than not conning you to fund some right-wing benefactor holding their puppet strings — or at best they’re just an old-fashioned charlatan. Ignore.

Gwen Snyder posted something on Saturday to the effect that “Fascists •need• the appearance of strength, and right now, Trump just looks weak.”
I think it’s easy for us evidence-hungry thinker types to underestimate just how much appearance matters. Massive rallies are not — •must• not be — the endpoint of resistance. However, neither are they purely symbolic. They have a real and concrete effect. They change perceptions, which change human behavior. Yes, they matter. They matter a lot.

Baltimore mayor & council members introduce comprehensive yimby package. Has backing of city's main business & community action organizations:
● Legalize 2-, 3- & 4-unit houses in 1-family districts
● Abolish minimum off-street parking requirements
● Legalize single-staircase structures with more than 3 stories
I don't think I've seen all this in one package anywhere up to now.

Claude Sonnet 4.0 describes the image as: "I can see two people in what appears to be a dramatic scene set in a barren, post-apocalyptic landscape. They're positioned among tall, dried grass with bare, twisted trees in the background, creating a desolate atmosphere. Both figures are wearing dark clothing that fits the somber tone of the setting. The scene has the distinctive visual style of 1970s British science fiction television, with its characteristic lighting and outdoor filming techniques…

I doubted the original, but in this video, you can see the stage in the side-by-side. Those things on the side of the stage are screens, and yes Coinbase really is a sponsor of this event, and they did break away to say “sponsored by Coinbase,” and that probably showed on the screens, so….

Wow. Yes. From a California district court:
“At this early stage of the proceedings, the Court must determine whether the President followed the congressionally mandated procedure for his actions. He did not. His actions were illegal—both exceeding the scope of his statutory authority and violating the Tenth Amendment to the United States Constitution. He must therefore return control of the California National Guard to the Governor of the State of California forthwith.” journa.host/@chrisgeidner/1146

A gaudy stage with the US Army logo and Coinbase listed as its sponsor underneath.
I am pretty damned far from being one of those people who puts the armed services some kind of quasi-religious pedestal, and even to me this is deeply offensive, just incredibly gross.
EDIT to add: This is so hideous I’m having trouble believing it. Can anyone verify the photo?

Divya and Shantini have vetted that yes, these are real people in real crisis who need help.
The two of them aren’t professional fundraisers or anything. They’re just doing their best with the tools they have, trying desperately to help a few people.
Yes, I wish that we had proper organizations — NGOs, international aid, a functioning democracy! — to help •all• the people in need all at once. We don’t. Elbow grease is all we’ve got.
